Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place is great, very comfortable and scenic. The hot tub was perfect. It's definitely out of town but the island is small enough that it doesn't really matter if you have a car plus, the drive is beautiful. The booking & cleaning fees are pretty crazy so- after those are tacked on, I don't think this place is the best value but, it was still a great stay.

Nice location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Comfortable and very spacious! Good location for getting around on the island. Well stocked kitchen, except for a vegetable peeler. We enjoyed the Whale Museum, Lime Kiln Park, Sculpture Park, American and British Camps. We visited the Krystal Acres Alpaca farm, they are so adorable and soft. We bought the bag of pellets to feed them. The San Juan Island National Historical Park gave us wonderful views of the surrounding islands. The only we didn't see was a live whale. Maybe next time. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.

Mixed Bag

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental is in a lovely, quiet location, about 18 minutes from Friday Harbor. The furnishings and paint are somewhat shabby, the couches particularly uncomfortable--hard with little back support. Paint on doors was battered and scratched. Main vanity top damaged from water exposure. The bed in the master bedroom was good. TV room French doors leaked in the rain, leaving a large puddle on the tile floor due to problems with weather stripping. Kitchen poorly equipped. Only one, flimsy plastic spatula, no wooden spoons, no colander/strainer to wash berries or lettuce in. Kitchen faucet leaked at base. Kitchen lighting was poor--difficult for cooking. Bathrooms both need rubber bathmats and cloth ones next to shower and tub as the tile is quite slick when wet. TV is small, old and outdated with poor sound quality. While much of this is acceptable for a short vacation, the rent was too high, given the shortfalls in maintenance. We have stayed at much better places on the islands for the same price or less. The premises were clean overall and we observed that the yard and hot tub were maintained while we were there. We enjoyed hiking and visiting farm stores, but would be unlikely to rent here again.

Overall the stay was good. The house was large and clean. It was easy to find and everything was as stated. The only thing that needed improvement was the WiFi, we could connect but the service didn’t work well at all. Otherwise it was a good stay.

Quiet and peaceful

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was clean and tidy upon our arrival. Ample space inside and out for relaxing and entertaining. The only minor things we’d recommend is having extra amenities like spices (spice rack was available but most of the spices were empty - including black pepper), there was only one cutting board (it was well used and broken in half) and maybe some basic kitchen supplies like foil or plastic wrap. Otherwise, the home was perfect me and my family.

Bachelorette Weekend

Mitchell Bay Haven was perfect for our bachelorette party weekend! The house was spacious and welcoming. The host left thoughtful reminders throughout the house about differences of living on the island. The location was close to all the activities we wanted to do.

Thanksgiving week

Clean, spacious, tucked away. All was very good but over the week there were some things we missed in kitchen: drain board to disk radk, working scissors, backing sheets, sieve, aluminum foil, olive oil. Water pressure was low -- causing trouble with flushing toilets. Had to call property manager when neighbor came over to fiddle with circuit breaker to shared pump house.

Wedding

Property is beautiful! Very relaxing but management was lacking. It’s a pet friendly rental with an added fee so I didn’t appreciate the multiple notes stating if there was fur on furniture we’d be charged $200. I also tried to contact management during my stay and never got a reply? We were here for a wedding and the house fulfilled our needs, but probably won’t be returning :/

A relaxing time by the water

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a nice 5 night stay at this property. Once we arrived we put out our comfy chairs, opened a bottle of wine and never wanted to leave the deck. Our labrador retriever was happy with this rental. She played frisbee, swam every day, and relaxed on the deck. She even had neighborhood dog friends that visited her. The hot tub was a nice amenity as well. We loved the nearby Horse Trails and rode our bike from the home to the trails. The interior of the home is a bit dated but the location of the home is perfect.

We had a great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the house. There was plenty of room for 5 to sleep comfortably. The kitchen had everything we needed and the hot tub was wonderful. The wifi worked well so that was nice. We had an issue with the shower head and the property management company fixed it the same day we called. They were very responsive. The only negative was that there is no AC. It was a little warm for me but the fans helped a lot.

Great house but could make some improvements

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is in a great location, is very spacious, and was clean upon arrival. Although, we very much enjoyed our stay, there are a few aspects that could be improved on: Provide more lawn chairs. There were four of us and only 2 lawn chairs. We had to bring chairs from inside so all of us could sit outside; Hairdryers that work. There were 2 hairdryers and neither of them blew hot air; The guest bathtub was very slippery. We almost slipped and fell a couple times. A mat or grips to prevent injuries would be very helpful. Lastly, there is a very small couch in the tv room. We watched a movie one night and had to bring chairs from the other room so we could all sit to watch the movie. Overall, our stay was great. Just a few small suggestions.

Nice property but...

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent views, private location with a beautiful scenic drive into town. The big windows and doors to the patio let in lots of natural sunlight and highlighted the view. The beds were uncomfortable, there were notes on the fridge stating that excessive pet hair would warrant an extra $200 fee even though we already paid a large pet fee. Property Management Company was not flexible or accommodating which would be helpful considering the ferry boat schedule is difficult to navigate in the busy season AND the only way on or off the island. The reason given for this was short staffing of house cleaning crew.
