Spacious and secluded, we had a great getaway. Easy access and close to the ferry, perfect if you are hopping off and on the island. The hosts make it easy, and the value was perfect - would stay there again.

The house was extremely clean, which we certainly appreciated. Some of the sheets were a bit worn but the host supplied new ones within a short period of time. We were there for a full month, so our needs are probably different than many short-term renters. For example, there didn’t seem to be a simple way to get rid of our trash which was a sort of surprising. However, we worked with the host and he was helpful. The host was very accommodating on a couple of other minor matters early in our stay. All in all, all of our guests during the month, found the house to be very comfortable.

Our Mother - Daughter Retreat

We had a wonderful time in this very quiet and comfortable house. It is surrounded by trees and very private. Inside was plenty of room for everyone, including a 2 year old. Every year we get together to talk and laugh and have fun. Our stay on Anderson Island was perfect. And it is beautiful there.

About the host

Hosted by Kent and Joline Emert

Host profile image

My wife and I live in the Seattle area and love living life on the water. Our island home is a big part of allowing us the life we desire, where we want to be.

Not only do we enjoy our home on the island, we have 5 adult children between us with an additional 5-7 grandkids, depending on what time of the upcoming year you ask.

We hope we have created a truly relaxing atmosphere where peace can be found.
