Beach access, otters, eagles and friendly people all around. House is older but fit us well. Plenty of space to fit 6-8 people comfortably. Nice selection of towels and plenty of pillows and blankets. Bring garage bags, foil or parchment paper if you are planning on being at the house and cooking.

The house is great--very clean, nicely furnished. The view is absolutely stunning. We are long-time visitors to Lopez Island so we know our way around. If you don't, this location may feel a bit isolated.

My parter tripped and fell due to poor lighting out front and around the house, there were stains on bed sheets and dirty towels, there’s stains on carpet and floors. Cabinets had dirt and dust and dishes smell bad carpets and comforters had tears and holes. It was freezing cold when we arrived and it took a while to warm up the place.

Location right on the bay was its redeeming quality. The views from the house were magnificent! That being said, the house is not maintained. Although the kitchen and bathrooms were clean, some of the dishes and pots were not that clean.The slider was hard to move. The deck needed power washed. The dining table was sticky from the finish wearing down. In spite of this, we had a great time. The beds were comfy. Enjoyed the view. Put a puzzle together. Had fun kayaking right off the beach.

We came for a relaxing weekend to celebrate my husbands birthday. Loved the view from the house, the quiet neighborhood and beach. My only cons would be that the jacuzzi jets didn’t work, the oven was very hard to get the heat right, and I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out the coffee maker. Overall we liked it and plan to come back with the family.

If you are comfortable with a low-cost home in exchange for cleaning the property yourself, then this is probably a good stay for you. During our stay, we awoke to a bat dive bombing us in our room on the 2nd morning of our stay. When requesting assistance, VACASA stated they needed photo evidence in order to consider reimbursement or providing assistance on the issue. Of course, we did not return to the property to provide photo evidence for their own property, as we were not willing to risk our safety for their unkept home. Currently disputing the charges for the property, as VACASA has been less than helpful in resolving the issue.

It's accurate to say that the whole purpose of staying in this home was the view. It was heavenly. It was so quiet there. The house was built in 1970 and has never been touched since. It had no garbage bag. The dishes weren't very well either. We'd stay there again, even if it was so dilapidated

We had a great short getaway and enjoyed sitting in the living room and outside watching otters, seals and boats pass by. This property is somewhat cheaper than some other comparable properties on Lopez and there is a reason, as indicated by many other reviewers. The home has generally not been updated much at all since it was built, so everything creaks and groans. For some strange reason, we found that most of the crockery had not been cleaned properly, so we had to clean it all off as we used it. The property management company were highly apologetic for this and offered to send somebody over to resolve it.

The view is amazing. BUT the whole house needs a thorough deep cleaning. How hard would it be to go to target and get a good full set of kitchenware (cookware, plates, silverware, knives). Every thing feels super outdated (rugs need to be replaced). Maybe if there was actually Windex available we would have cleaned the windows ourselves. With that said we had a fantastic time.

All about the view of Hunters Bay, with Orcas rising in the distance, and easy access to the water from the dock. We enjoyed kayaking around the bay and taking in the view from the deck (in camping chairs that we brought). The house itself is rustic and bare bones. A good structure, but with dated finishes and furniture, worn out and stained couches and chairs, a rusted and warped indoor card table used outdoors, etc. They need to replace ripped window and door screens throughout the house. Coffee pot had old coffee grounds in it when we arrived. No internet/wifi and spotty cell reception, so you will truly be unplugging! We enjoyed the stay and the house is basically as advertised, but has not been updated in the last couple decades.

Gorgeous view, but the house wasn't worth the price we paid. Kitchen cabinets were falling apart, goodwill chairs on the deck and no table!! The grill was rusted out. The flat screen had only a dvd player, and two of the few movies were scratched and un watchable. No internet by the way. Apparently the view and little beached is supposed to be enough for the inflated price. A lovely neighbor lent us a card table. Seriously so many lovely places on Lopez with views that also cost a pretty penny, why would you choose this place?

The location is amazing - boat launch is literally next door. The house has a nice layout that worked for our 3 generation family but it was built in the early '70s & is definitely in need of some repairs. The huge sliding door was difficult to open and close as it's so old. Windows in the living room are wood-trimmed & the trim is dusty and had cobwebs. This isn't the type of house a general cleaning company could come in and clean in a couple of hours - it's in need of a really deep clean. There were a few pieces of newer outdoor furniture on the deck but old, rickety plastic chairs were also there so we had enough places to sit but not very comfortably. The bathroom lighting upstairs has sconces by the mirror over the sink but the other light didn't work so showering at night was pretty dark. There's 3 trash cans outside but nothing was labeled for recycling so we weren't sure how to separate trash from recycling. The house worked well for us but it really is in need of some extra care. It must have been a lovely house back in the day!

We were out by 9:30am, did not notice digital checkout until 1:45pm. Not cleaned: stove top, pull out cutting board, whole deck and rail. Bath heater lights not working. Lots of switches - could be labeled. Upper left bedroom very hot - could not find control, we turned off at breaker. Deck top rail rotting. Skylights and gutters filled with debris, could cause roof damage. Electrical outlet no cover plate exposes wires. All this said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. These safety suggestions will prolong the viability of this unique place so we can come back in the future!

We loved the location. House lighting, was a bit of a mystery. Very Dim in Kitchen. After buying local Coffee, we were unable to find Coffee maker, found the Carafe though. The Khureg system does not work well with Fresh ground Coffee. Not clear why we would pay a cleaning fee and it still be recommended that Laundry be done should we have time. Home has Maintenance issues ? Some things were kinda unsettling, plug ins and lighting for sure...Great location but for about $1200 for 3 days, not sure is was the best bang for our buck. I received a TEX aprox "1 hour"after we arrived asking about our stay, etc. - "very odd..."

6/10

Beautiful view and good price. However, the house is not well maintained- gutters are overflowing, there is evidence of water damage underneath the sink, and the floors were dirty. We were all stuffed up the entire time but cleared up once we got back home - I wouldn’t be surprised if there was mold. Additionally, there were a couple things that would have been nice to have: 1) window coverings because our dog likes to bark at its reflection and to have some privacy and 2) Keurig pods. There is a reusable Keurig pod but it makes terrible coffee and you have to bring your own espresso ground coffee, and there isn’t a regular coffee machine to use instead. Make sure to bring your own Keurig pods or a French press.

The home is right off the water as described, but is not well maintained or updated. As a first impression, the front door is damaged like a bear has tried to get in. Once inside, it looks as if years have passed since the last good clean. There was food caked on to the cooktop, thick dust in the ceiling fan, dusty cobwebs in the window panes and the skylights need to be brushed of pine needles. The patio table had at least a season of grime. The house has all the necessities, but bring wipes and elbow grease! On the flip side, comfortable seating, spacious dining room and lovely that the hosts left bottled water in the fridge. We had a great time but would think twice about coming back here.

The view and location is beautiful but the the house needs a lot of help. The house was dirty when we got there. I swept floors and vacuumed. The silverware had to be rewashed because there was food stuck to them. Went to air the house and 1/2 the screens in the house are broken, which let bees and mosquitoes in the house. So we could only use some windows to prevent the bugs from coming in the house. The screen door is very hard to shut and does not lock. The toilet seat upstairs is broken and there are cobb webs all over the ceiling in the upstairs bathroom. The house is not maintained. For the price we paid to use this house it was not worth it.

First of all, let me say, the location is lovely if you want a laid-back vacation experience. The house is the problem it is not clean, it smells, there are carpets in a dog friendly house, that I would never recommend, and they are all stained. The kitchen and the entire house is like some thing from the 80s and has not been updated. The upstairs bathroom has been updated but there is not even a holder for the toilet paper! there is a lovely deck with a rail that is rotting and dangerous. Someone could get very hurt if they placed too much weight on it. The view deck has crappy furniture, plastic chairs, and wire chairs that are not comfortable. This house could’ve been so much more with such a much more enjoyable experience! it is obvious the owners are taking all the money from the rentals and keeping it instead of putting a bit back into it to update the house and make it more comfortable and promote it more enjoyable experience. Very disappointed would not rent this property again.

We arrived to a bat flying throughout the house, dirty surfaces, dust bunnies throughout, broken and missing outlet covers, a kitchen lacking basic pots and dishwasher detergent, a sliding door that was inoperable, rotting outdoor furniture, a hole in the bathroom ceiling (where the bats came in, as evidenced by the bat droppings throughout that room and dripping out of the bath fan), missing trim, missing light bulbs, ancient appliances, a bathroom without tile grout and with detached tile, and rotting siding. When I called the management company to have even the basic issues addressed, the Lopez manager for the company started laughing maniacally, said I was trying to blackmail him, and hung up on me. The national office for the company sent a repair person who greased the sliding door (it worked for the next few hours, so that's something), replaced the broken outlet covers (while leaving the broken pieces on the floor), and taped the most egregious holes in the bat-access area. Then, I began receiving text messages from people within the management company trying to get me to say that they as individuals were not the person who hung up on me, seemingly trying to cover their own butts. This is not exactly how I wanted to spend my vacation. On our final morning, we awoke to a bat on the floor of the living room, not dead but not well. The company said they were shutting down the house to do some basic maintenance. I wouldn't hold my breath. The location is magical.
