It was an awesome time and you could not ask for better hosts. cabin and hot tub were great with the beach right down the stairs. awesome sunsets from the hot tub as well.
Host are very friendly and helpful. We live at lower levels and their the upper level. House very clean with nice view overlook easy access to lagoon. Have so much fun and chill Love the host will be back for sure
This was such a great experience. My wife, kids and I all had a blast. So much to do and free delicious seafood, can't beat it. Hosts were helpful, without being intrusive. Will definitely be back.
We had the most amazing time at Dale and Carol’s place. They had everything we needed to harvest our seafood feast and kayak around the island. I also had the best sleep in a long time. We will definitely be back!!
We could not have asked for better hosts. Dale and Carol took great care of us and made us feel welcome. They are very accommodating. The place is very clean, quiet, and beautiful. Our family enjoyed chilling out at Sunset Lagoon, kayaking around the island, and shell fish hunting. We harvested and tried sea asparagus for the first time. We ran into many deer as well. The island feels laid-back and unspoiled. Dale and Carol's house reflects a lot of care, and I'm sure it's a lot of work to maintain. We are grateful the hosts were willing to share it with guests. Can't wait to be back.
We had the best time at Sunset Lagoon! Carole and Dale were such great hosts and ensured our stay was enjoyable. There happened to be an issue with the ferry the day we were going and they called right away. The problem ended up getting fixed and we made it to the island! Definitely a much needed respite. My family and I plan to go back this summer. My kids absolutely loved clamming on the private beach!
Dale and Carol are excellent host. They respoded to all my questions right away. They are very kind and made sure we have everything we needed.They take pride of their beautiful property. Its very clean and very comfortable. The host lives upstairs and the rental is downstairs which has its own entrance and lovely patio. They have everything you need to harvest shellfish,( oysters, clams and mussels), which we took advantage of. Yummy!! They also have kayaks, which unfortunately we didnt get to use because of the weather.The property is on a small island, Herron Island. You have to take a small ferry and they only take cash (it will help if you have exact change). Theres no store on the island so make sure you bring what you need. We had a very relaxing 3 nights. Thank you Dale, Carol and Bailey
Beautiful, quiet, restful location on West Herron Island. Perfect place to relax and reflect and unplug. Hosts were welcoming, kind, and thoughtful. Certianly memorable and appreciated break from "normal". Pup enjoyed her time here as well.
We loved the home and location. One of our best PNW vacations. We ate lots of seafood, flew kites and took the kayak on the lagoon at high tide. My 3 year old had a great time.

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting Kate and family. Very nice people and I would recommend them to other host. We would love to host them again in the future. Kate's little one is so sweet.
my partner and i stayed here for a belated anniversary getaway and it was truly perfect. the interior is spacious yet cozy, the exterior is everything you could ask for when staying on the water. dale and carol are perfect hosts, there if you need them but also so good at giving you all the privacy you could want. this home is a gem! you will not regret staying here! we couldn't have asked for a better weekend away from home!
Our second time staying here was just as wonderful as the first. This time, we took our dog with us and it was so dog friendly with the gated porch for him to enjoy! Dale brought out a motor to attach to the row boat so we could go fishing which was great. We even saw some dolphins while we were out! We also went out kayaking later in the day. If you stay, you HAVE to try Carol’s clam chowder recipe in the binder. So delicious!

Stop reading this review just book it. The hosts are genuinely amazing people and the property is everything you dream of and more. I honestly couldn't have had a better time and will definitely return and recommend to everyone who will listen.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The setting was beautiful, our hosts, Dale and Carol, were very welcoming and helpful, and the house contained everything we could possibly need. The icing on the cake was being able to harvest clams, mussels, and oysters for our meals. We would highly recommend this place to any of our friends!

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting you. You left our place, amazingly clean and tidy which we really appreciate. We would love to host you again. Truly, we would recommend other hosts since your were perfect guests. Thank you again.
Beautiful quiet setting with gracious and helpful hosts.
Appreciated the adventure of the private fish farm and with help from the host, we dug clams, mussels, and oysters.
Our family had the best time. I can’t say enough good things about it. Carol and Dale were so sweet and have thought of everything. The place was immaculate and had the best amenities. We definitely plan to come back.

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting this family. They were wonderful people and left our place neat and tidy. We would love to host them again.
Highly recommend this stay to those who want a private getaway with your partner or family! Dale and Carol are friendly and thoughtful hosts. Their place is beautiful, inside and out! The seafood is amazing! The walk to a nearby beach was nice. We also had a couple deer stop by to feed on some carrots we brought with us!
Our stay in February was more than advertised. Dale and Carol made everything easy and are super friendly. The property was spacious, clean and comfortable. The view is incredible and the shellfish abundant. We walked the whole island in a couple hours and got a sense for the community. Beautiful spot.
