Wonderful vacation

The house was wonderful and right on the water. It has a sunroom with a beautiful ocean view. We thought being next to the ferries would be a drawback but it didn’t bother us at all. It was a great family vacation.

Oasis on the ocean

A beautiful home to spend time with family after celebrating a family wedding. We loved watching the ferry and boats outside our window and there was so much room for us eight adults to enjoy. It had everything we needed and I would love to stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean when we arrived and very well stocked. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and toilet paper in all the bathrooms and the kitchen was very well stocked with coffee, sugar, creamer, and paper towels. This is the first time I can remember that we didn't have to go out and purchase these types of supplies. Also, a pet peave of mine, the kitchen knives were sharp and there was even a knife sharpener.All that aside, the best part of the house is it's location and the beautiful views from the sun room. Every morning we would sit and drink our morning coffee in the sun room enjoying the view and the coming and goings of the ferries.The house is large, 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, so room for quite a group. We didn't use all the bedrooms, but appreciated the bathrooms.

Perfect house for a large group

The house was perfect for our group of 11. It couldn't have been any closer to the ferry station. We sat on the patio and watched them come and go in the evenings. Check-in was very easy.

Wonderful house with great views over the bay. Enjoyed watching the ferries come and go but did not like the constant hum of the ferry engines. Very clean and comfortable seating. Enjoyed nearby pub and sea kayaking

Zoe is a very conscientious host, promptly responding to issues and questions. The interior is dated but fairly comfortable though there is a shortage of seating if you are more than 6 people so we brought up dining chairs from the lower floor. It is very difficult to find a place with at least 4 bedrooms that is dog-accepting so this worked out for us. Be aware, however, that the property only has fencing down the sides and a bit of a barrier at the bottom of the yard above a cliff. The yard is not secured so dogs or children could easily get out onto the street. We saw a deer, bunnies, a turkey vulture (eating one of the bunnies!), and many ferries.

Perfect family holiday

We had a wonderful family holiday with my 87 year old parents. The house was perfect for the 10 of us with lots of space for gathering, but also enough space to spread out and get quite time. The location is stunning, and ferry watching was daily activity.
