No doubt the view is amazing but at the cost of ferry traffic announcements and horn..if you need a landing base after day hiking, biking, and island hopping this is a great spot to get in line for the ferry without the hassle of being in your car for an hour or more especially as the ferries tend to run late and inconsistent. We were able to chill on the deck and wait it out with our great view and a coffee while leaving our car in line and we island hopped most days. If I were planning on just relaxing at the house, I would find another home especially at this price point. While comfortable, it is an older home that has “some” remodeling done. We came into the home with a terrible amount of mildew from damp throw rugs that we tried to wash but to no avail. The mildew was strong so we just left them on the deck in the sun and used towels as floor rugs in the one bathroom. We left a note for rental agency to get new rugs and hope they will for future renters that may have asthma. This may seem silly, but made for an uncomfortable first night until we figured it out. Note there’s only one bathroom and it’s upstairs from the master.
The sleeper couch is also in the master bedroom so if you’re planning to use it for a party of four or five, you’ll have a room guest is the master with you. I must’ve assumed it was the living room couch but even so, it was comfortable and we did enjoy our stay. It gets very warm in the house during the day in July and august so some ceiling or room fans would help with climate control as the cross breeze comes from the Sea and there’s no screen on bathroom window or front door
And kitchen window opens house to ferry noise/traffic. Overall, a good stay with minor concerns but for the cost expected a bit higher quality....
