The home was beautiful with a whimsical historic feel. We sat in the backyard in the evenings and enjoyed the cool wonderful weather!
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
Very spacious yard with many trees and flowers. The house was built in 1898 so a bit creaky. It was clean and well stocked. Had a lot of furniture in it. Beautiful view of the Puget Sound!
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Nice neighborhood. Water is near by. Backyard is beautiful with flowers!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
Two issues that negatively impacted our experience.1) There was no AC and we knew that going into the rental. However, what we did not know is that you cannot open any windows on the first floor so we are not able to cool the house down in the evening. To us, this condition was unacceptable.2) The bathroom situation is odd and should be better explained in the advertisement. On the main level there is a handicap tub/hand sprayer shower. It's in the enclosed porch area and there is a three panel screen you use for privacy. A bit odd. Also on the main floor is a toilet with a tub (no shower). You can access this bathroom from the one bedroom on the main level or the hall. Upstairs there is a bedroom with toilet, sink and shower. The toilet is enclosed. The sink and shower are in the bedroom. This set up does not readily lend itself to sharing the sink/shower with others on this floor (there are three other bedrooms on this floor). In the bedroom that leads to another bedroom there is a sink and toilet. Toilet has saloon style doors and a knee wall. Another odd set up.
