Enjoyable stay in West Sound! Studio had lots of thoughtful touches with a cozy fireplace!Easy access, clean, quiet, appreciate the amenity choices.Great view! Would recommend!
I really enjoyed my stay at the crows nest. Such a sweet space. Beautiful views, cozy atmosphere, amenities were perfect for my short stay. I would absolutely return for another visit!
This was a sunlight-filled, clean, cozy space with a deck overlooking the water! Excellent location near Turtleback Preserve and easy drive to town and to Moran State Park. Trina was a fabulous host.
Crows Nest was tastefully decorated, very clean, and extremely comfortable! Great location on the island, easy to access to hiking trails and minutes to shopping! Would definitely stay again!Thanks Trina
This is a wonderful, cosy little apartment. It is beautifully appointed and has a wonderful view of the harbor and bay. A truly relaxing place to stay.
We had a great stay in this nicely decorated studio apartment. It had everything we could have wanted, including a great view of the water & boats at the marina!
A great pied-a-terre. The view of West Sound is outstanding. One could sit there all day. For things to do: we enjoyed hiking on Turtleback Mountain preserve. It's a short trip to Eastsound for shopping, restaurants and other outdoor activity. And in the other direction, a short trip to Deer Harbor for restaurants and a lovely walk (mostly level) around the peninsula. Cooking is not an option, and that's just fine!
Great studio apartment with beautiful view of the water. Very clean and well appointed. Location is near a main road but traffic is light. Kitchen is very functional (coffee, etc) but there are no bakeries or coffee shops nearby. There is a fabulous dinner spot next door.
A quiet spot on the water but close to East Sound and Deer Harbor , great hiking on saddle back mountain, and nice bike routes. The host was very accommodating.
