#### Slice of heaven
This house does not disappoint! It’s luxurious, and has everything you will need for your stay. We enjoyed the house and exploring the island. We walked the beach, saw tons of birds, seals, ships, and fisherman. We held our breath to see the orcas pods the locals told us about, but it wasn’t in the cards for us this time. There are beautiful parks and hikes. The island hs many local artists with beautiful shops and excellent restaurants.We will definitely be back!!!

What a beautiful property. Everything is top tier from the beds and bedding, to the kitchen and equipment. Wi-Fi speed was great which is important to my family. There is a huge dining room table and we were able to play board games with tons of space. The host provided many of the small things, making it easy to pack. The view is breathtaking. Perfect if you want to get away in style.
