This house was the ideal location. The house has a beautiful view over the water to Raft Island. We loved watching the tides come and go. The deck off the back is huge and a lovely place to sit and watch the view, read books, barbecue, and just hang out. The inside is so comfortable, with a large living room and large dining table and complete kitchen facilities. The beds are super comfy. We found lots of places within 30-40 minutes to put our kayak in and explore. We loved our whole week here and have signed up again for next year. ##### Gwen H.

May 29, 2023 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### The Tides Family get together The location of the property and the view were great. The space was also comfortable and worked well for a family get together. Unfortunately it was managed by vacasa and I did NOT have a good experience with them. Poor and impersonal communication leading up to the rental and I had to call them when we arrived because they only provided the code to enter one of the two houses. They seemed to do the bare minimum to keep both houses running between rentals. There were notes on several of the windows saying that they were broken and not to open them - in areas that were hot and stuffy, where opening a window could have helped. We also had to spend a lot of time cleaning off the back deck before we could use it - it was totally covered in pine needles, like it hadn't been blown off in weeks. Outdoor furniture was old and tattered and the gate surrounding the yard and entry to the water was completely rusted and falling apart. Overall, we had a nice time with our family here, but the rental was expensive and should have been in better shape. Based on this experience, I would also rather deal direct with the home owner than a property manager such as vacasa in the future. ##### Cameron S.

May 7, 2020 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Nice house, poor upkeep by management The house was absolutely Beautiful. The sceneries and surroundings were great. Unfortunately the house had not been cleaned prior to our stay. There was food crumbs and spills left on the counter. Rotten butter on the counter in a dish. Basic staples or not stocked. The floor was dirty and unmarked throughout the entire house footsteps and spills from previous tenants were evident. There were no light bulbs in part of the house so you couldn't see. The couch was beautiful navy blue velvet but covered in dog for with the throw pillows left thrown on the floor. The beds were made but once again throw pillows on the floor. We strip the beds and washed the sheets. Along with scrubbing the entire house prior to bringing our belongings in period the deck was filthy and there was no gas for the grill. Retried to contact management but the next day we got a maid saying she was going to come out and clean but we had already done that period she did leave a full propane kink at the front door. I have tried to contact the management multiple times during my stay to address this matter and after our departure. It has been a month and I still have not heard a word. I would stay at this house again but not while this management company was caring for the home. I'm sure the owners should be upset. ##### DALE B. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle H. Feb 12, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great house but cleaning needed work This is the second time we've stayed in this rental. The house itself, the surrouding property, the water front all amazing and we can't say enough positive comments about these things. The cleaning this time was troublesome. One of the king bedrooms did not have sheets, just a fitted sheet and a duvet with no cover. We were able to put sheets on ouselves. In fact none of the duvets had covers which made us wonder how they were cleaned between stays... There were trash items found on the floor of the ensuite bathroom, that's fine we disposed of them. What was troublesome throughout our stay was finding empty capsules tucked in couch cushions, and in the depressions in the ottoman. We have pets and were pretty lucky one of the dogs did not find these capsules themselves. Not sure what was housed in these pill sized empty capsules because whatever was in them was emptied out and all we found were the leftover dead soldiers. We left a few on the mantle of the fireplace in order to show the cleaners what to be on the lookout for. We also found beads, so many beads, in the carpets and along the cracks in the floor against the walls. Finding those with our feet was not very pleasant. We are cleanly people and generally leave the homes we stay in cleaner than when we received so 3 dish pods were a little disappointing for the size group and how many dishes we went through making our own meals there over 5 days. Again, cannot say enough about the home itself and the surrounding property. ALSO, Donna, the contact for our stay was wonderful when we needed her in locating our garbage cans after track pick up day. She came out and was able to locate them for us within just a few hours of when she was contacted. Overall I would recommend this home, but really hope the cleaning standards are raised. ##### Michelle H. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy K.

Wide open living and dining room, a view of the water that overlooks the beautiful large deck. Fully equipped kitchen, extra freezer, washer and dryer. House was clean and spacious! Ask for correct driving directions. ##### Arlene M. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Phuong H.

Beautiful landscaped property, We love enjoy water front, big house, we had a wonderful time as well ,great place to stay,will try again next year. but 2 bath room can't not lock :( if your home changes the wooden floor it is cleaner, the house will be perfect. ##### Phuong H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerry S., Lehi Nov 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fall Heaven Gorgeous landscaping, views of the Sound and fall colors. The privacy and comfort of this property was more than we expected. The plumbing (only one person showering at a time w/multiple bathrooms) was a minor inconvenience but overall the place was perfect for a few days away. We even took one day just to stay at and enjoy the property instead of going out to do things because it was so inviting. ##### Jerry S.
