Fantastic! Views, nature, privacy, quiet
Loved this place! The great escape. We saw deer, distant seals from the backyard view. Gorgeous plants, flowers. Never heard or saw neighbors. (Wifi strong for work meetings.) Plenty of amenities, great welcome treats, clean and gorgeous windows! Kayaks were excellent. Lots of lovely hiking trails on island and a swimming lake. (General store was good, reasonably priced.) Ferry was fun, simple. Great communication from host. Enjoyed the fire pit. Seriously, nothing more needed! Thank you hosts Brian & Diane for sharing your little piece if Heaven! :)

Perfect beach getaway
This house was perfect for a family getaway. The bunk bed room was a big hit with my kids, as well as the hot tub. There is a huge yard to run around and play, with access down to the beach with crabs, sand dollars, star fish, and more! The house was clean, cozy, well stocked and they even had a basket with treats to welcome us. There are trails all over the island with their own beach access that we loved exploring. Great, quiet getaway for our family.

Always a great time
Our second time staying here and loved it! It’s so quiet and secluded with a gorgeous view. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the property is adorable. Took one star off of cleanliness due to the hot tub being a little murky, but it didn’t detract from our overall stay.

Lovely place shredded in the woods
Just a really lovely, secluded place in the woods with private beach access (down an impressively long flight of stairs). Host communication was top notch. View and coziness were wonderful. We ended up with just 4 in our party, which was great. Might have been close quarters with more than that. Kitchen cooking tools could use a little better stocking, organization, labeling to take to next level, But overall, as described and grand.

We are a group of educators we take a annual trip to relax and enjoy our friendship. This year we stayed at the beachcomber. It was exactly what we needed. The house was amazing! We enjoyed sitting by the fire, relaxing in the hot tub and exploring the beach. Thank you for sharing your home with us and the amazing views.

Perfect!
Such an awesome property. Quiet and secluded, but close to all the island amenities. The house itself was very clean with comfortable beds. The kitchen was very well stocked. Steps down to the beach are steep, but handrails and non-slip sheets on the steps themselves made it easier to make our way down. The hot tub was great after a day of trekking around the island. The riviera restaurant was great food and fun on karaoke night. If you plan on cooking, be sure to stop at a grocery store before heading to the island. The general store has basics, but is pretty limited. Overall, 10/10 would stay (and plan to stay) again!

Perfect Getaway
I can't say enough good things about this house. My husband and I traveled with another couple for his fortieth birthday. Every detail of the home is thought out as if the owner lives there. Everything is high end and seems more like staying at a friend's house rather than a rental. The gas firepit was amazing on a crisp November day. The new hot tub was just what we needed after a trek down to the private beach. We can't wait to come back with our children.

Great views, lots of sun, cool evenings
Be sure to stock up on all your supplies before heading to this house because once there you will NOT want to leave. The owners have thought of everything- fire pit for s’more’s, board games, books, cozy blankets, great WiFi connection (we have two teens), smart tv and A/C (we only used it couple of times but was grateful to have it). We swam (bring googles there are great lakes on the island for swimming), paddle boated, hiked and cooked. We even found oysters on the beach! They were amazing grilled. Just writing this makes me miss the place… we will be back next summer!

Breathtaking views
Pictures can not do this property justice. Our family watched three different pods of Orca’s over a few days right from the living room. The seals come right up on the rocky beach right before the tide comes in each night. There’s plenty of wildlife like coyotes, deer, otters, eagles, and chipmunks. Our children absolutely loved the bunk bed room. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed and even had a welcoming basket. We can’t wait to stay here again.

amazing getaway
Our group of friends decided to visit Anderson Island for the first time to celebrate a birthday. We had a fantastic time - grilled oysters we found on the beach, followed our hot tub soak with a cold plunge in the puget sound, enjoyed watching the birds, made great meals, drank wine by the fire, and had happy hour by the firepit. The house was gorgeous with amazing views even when it was rainy and we really enjoyed learning about a new part of the Pacific Northwest. Would highly recommend!

Loved it and will return!
The setting was magical and the house extremely comfortable. We had to cook quite a bit for the holiday meals and had more than enough serving dishes and cookware. The view from the sofa was so relaxing and very private. We enjoyed the adventure of taking the ferry. If you like walking, you will never run out of trails... Will definitely stay here in the future. We highly recommend the home!

Island getaway
Kitchen was well-stocked, ice and filtered water provided, exactly as described. Wood fireplace. Easy to follow instructions, and owner was welcoming and responsive via text. Bring your rubber boots this time of year as paths are muddy on park walks. It’s a view house more than spend your day at the beach house. Private and tucked away from the world. We drank wine and brought leftovers and read our favorite books and enjoyed our time together. Jacobs Point was a treasure and you can find a great latte at the cafe. Our weather was mostly rainy but it was cozy.
