Wonderful home and location. Sibling group of adults (4 with spouses=8) had a great time. All amenities provided. Highly recommend. Hosts very responsive.
We needed a larger home to gather our family for our son's wedding in Poulsbo, and this home was perfect. Beautiful location, plenty of room, an outside deck with a grill and beautiful views of Seattle and Mt. Ranier. Awesome place!
I cannot recommend this house enough! Beautiful property, and the owners were so helpful! We rented for a weekend with friends. Our one kiddo in the group loved it. Would come back in a heartbeat
What a lovely house to spend time in with family. Everything we needed was at hand and the house was perfect for our large family whether it was for work or entertaining. And the views! We will be back!!!!
This beautiful, comfortable house was the perfect place for our extended family to gather for our daughterâs wedding at a nearby venue. Stunning views, wonderful house â so special.
This home was comfortable, child friendly, and had a great view. It was a nice place and user friendly for my family to gather after a very long pandemic! Hope to come again one day.
Les points faibles : Communication et exactitude de lâannonce
It could be so much better
Here is what was disappointing for us FB on our trip. All of this was conveyed to the owner a few days into our trip and I never heard back from them:
âą only one working tv in house - tv in living room wires cut at floor and electronic as pictured are not there
âąall appliances on there last leg - cooktop is difficult to use because there are no markers left by knobs because they all have been scratched off and the oven is cooks so uneven it is close to not functioning - the dishwasher cleans like crap and latch sometimes struggles to stay closed
âąthe outdoor grill was covered with chucks of burned chicken
âą the jacuzzi âmightâ not be working - well not working and looked like it had been abandoned for a long time - would have been nice to get confirmation the repair did not happen
âą there were dirty dishes in cabinet - plates with red food and milky glasses - I cleaned them all and pulled out the cracked pieces in a drawer - cheapest grade dishes and silverware
âą 1 room has multicolored disco lights attached to main as main light switch
âą the study room - which we really needed has two very small windows with blackout electric shades and one of them Is broken so it is dark and not usable as a study
âą several broken or missing closet doors
âą pillows and bedding are just like the dishes - cheap and uncomfortable
âą the house is lacking in furniture- you get a bed and maybe a dresser in the rooms - more soft seating would be great
âą canât use fireplaces but full of charcoal and ash
âą outside lighting doesnât work so when you come after dark it is extremely dark
âą there are random personal item in drawers, closets, and cabinets - needs a through cleaning and organizing
Property was clean , the view was beautiful. The only minor thing was that none of the bath tubs held water when plugged.
I would absolutely stay here again .
6 friends and I spent 4 nights here, couldnât have asked for anything more! House was spotless, spacious and the hot tub was great. Communication with the host was easy & reliably throughout our whole stay. I highly recommend this property!
The property is immaculate and very easy to settle in to as a group or family. I felt it was best suited for larger families or groups that wanted to be close to the jewels of Bainbridge (for me it was the beach, breweries, restaurants, distilleries, wineries, and small shops downtown).
The property is off from the main road and has an amazing view of the Sound with many things to do in the house if you want to stay home (especially in winter). The property has comfy fireplaces, an awesome great room with a big TV, board games, blankets and lots of pillows--great for family time. The home has high-speed WiFi, spa, outdoor kitchen with a grill that is amazing, and I really enjoyed the spacious kitchen that allowed us to make buffets and cook for several people.
The property management was quick to respond to my calls/texts, followed-through and helped with my requests during my stay.
To Do's: Use the VRBO app. The instructions and access information is best accessed through their app.
If you have kids, make sure to bring raingear including boots. The rain comes in quickly and without much notice. The property is well manicured and landscaped, so your feet will get soaked unless you have boots on in every season except for summer.
Do go into town. People in Bainbridge are wonderful. We had a great time downtown and the folks were very friendly and accommodating.
I stayed here with my bridal party before my wedding and everything we great! The house was beautiful and was perfect for several couples and a small child. We had some issues with the hot tub and the door lock, but the property manager was immediately available to help solve the problem.
The one thing I would mention is that none of the fireplaces or fire pit were functioning, and that was one of the selling points for us to choose this listing. It didnât seem like a temporary condition So my one complaint would be to update the listing to accurately reflect the available amenities.
This house is incredible! We got lucky with the weather in October and got to enjoy the views to the fullest. The house has a ton of space, kid friendly, and has everything you need. We loved it and hope we can come back some day!
Three families, multigenerational, and mobility issues gathered for a wedding and family reunion. We had enough space to be together and also have privacy. This home was a beautiful, restful retreat - just perfect!
House is beautifully situated on property, with spectacular views of Puget Sound, and easy access to beach, as long as you are willing to climb back up the slope. Rooms are comfortable and spacious, kitchen is well stocked with cook ware, plates, glasses and flatware.
With places for 10 to sleep, our party of 7 had ample privacy and comfort, yet enjoyed meeting to visit in the living room, kitchen or on deck with the enormous hot tub.
We did have several minor repairs needed, but Lotus responded quickly to fix things for us.
All in all, well worth the cost for this very enjoyable vacation.
The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for a fun weekend! The property manager Lotus was very responsive, even bringing us a coffee maker same day when we discovered the one in the house was not drawing water. Hot tub was fabulous and the views are spectacular. We would definitely stay there again.
Huge house plenty of room for all! Huge hot tub/mini swumming pool, adults and kids loved it. Yes the house is sort of sparsely furnished and appointed however that didn't affect our enjoyment in the slightest. The kitchen was very well equiped, the house was clean with plenty of linens and towels. We walked to the beach every night! It is an absolutley beautiful setting and views for ever.
Our family of 10 plus an infant stayed here in early May for a family wedding. This home was the perfect size for us with enough bedrooms and bathrooms to make it a very comfortable stay for everyone. Our favorite feature was the HUGE deck with amazing views. Issue was, there was no deck furniture to use and when we asked about it after arriving, we were told a previous renter this spring âbroke all of itâ and the owner was deciding if it should be replaced. Beautiful views - with the bonus of perfect weather - and no patio furniture was very disappointing (photos on line showed tables and chairs). I received an email from Megan on our arrival day that the washer was broke and she hoped we didnât need it. Asked for it to be repaired because we packed knowing we had use of a washer & dryer, but her family member that came to do the repair could not fix it, so we had to find a laundromat in town. A small compensation was made by the home owner for this inconvenience. Also had to request more towels to be delivered because there were only a total of about 8-10 towels for 11 ppl for 6 days, with no washer. Seems this should not have been something we had to ask for, but home owner did have plenty of towels delivered the next day. Another challenge was getting a reply from Megan on questions prior to our arrival. After our rent was paid, email replies were delayed by a few days, or not received at all. The actual home owner was very responsive during our stay. If wi-fi is important to you (3 of us had to stay connected to work while we were there), it does not work at all upstairs, only downstairs and not great outside of the dining room area. With all that said, we would stay in this home again if we have the opportunity to visit beautiful Bainbridge Island again, as long as there are working appliances and deck furniture allowing us to enjoy being outside.
Our family enjoyed our stay in bainbridge. Good restaurants, easy ferry ride to seattle
What a beautiful home! The home was very clean. The living areas were free of clutter which made it easy for having children stay there. The kitchen was well equipped.The view of the sound from the house as well as from the deck was superb. The only drawback was the access to the beach was somewhat of a challenge with the mosquitos and some brushy area.
Our three nights at this property were delightful, as we walked the beaches, toured the island, and played bocce on one of the extensive back lawns. The house is large and well-kept, if somewhat barren, and provided a very accommodating space for the six of us. Amenities are modern, but it seems a little "unfinished," with very little furniture in the master bedroom, and wires sticking up from the floor in places. We couldn't get the large den TV to work, in spite of the very clear directions, but perhaps this was just us. Overall, in spite of the small frustrations, we are glad we took advantage of this rental. Beach access was a major plus, and we hiked down there at least four different times. The house is virtually next door to Bainbridge Park, which is just a four-house walk from the beach area!
Very large and clean.
I donât mind being helpful, but I thought it was strange that at $600/night they required us to strip the beds and trash at the end of our stay.
Also thought it was strange they had a length requirement during the non peak season.
All in all, very lovely and clean home. Slightly smelled musty and very cold upon arrival. Front doorâs wood has swelled and hard to open.
