Three of us senior women stayed in April 2023. We were looking for an affordable property in the San Juan Islands and this one fit the bill. Overall, it was adequate for our needs. The location was good, beds were comfy, dining table afforded a place to both eat and play cards.
But the handrail going to the loft/bedroom area is rough and two of us ended up with splinters in our hands. The dishwasher soap dispenser still is broken (noted below in a 2021 review). When soap pods are put into the broken dispenser, the door closed and the water turned on, the soap dissolves and runs down the inside of the door, leaving a cement-like residue. Dishes are not getting clean.
LIght bulbs everywhere were burned out. We replaced as many as we could with the existing supply. The washer was full of damp sheets and the dryer was full of a gigantic load of sheets and towels. There was a hamper full of damp towels as well. We finished all that laundry during our stay so we could do our own before we checked out.
As mentioned by a previous reviewer, the upstairs is very warm. This might be helped if it were possible to use the ceiling fan on the first floor but there was no way to turn it on that we could find.
Another previous review mentioned the neighbor's unattractive yard which still exists but is tolerable since, at least, they were not noisy.
This house needs a thorough maintenance check and my noted repairs made. It's a good rental property and deserves to be taken better care of.
