The new beds were awesome, our family has stayed now for many years and the grandchildren look forward to the red house every time. Plenty of space and so convenient to get to marina.

The house location is amazing! It’s a great older home with eclectic antique charm. We loved the sunroom nook. We had a group of 6 and the house was a great setting for friends to catch up and relax, play card games, and hang out. We all agreed we agreed we will stay here again. The host was great!
This was such a wonderful old house to stay in. We were there to put on my mother’s memorial and it was a perfect place to come and have some peaceful moments. It was also 2 blocks from town which made it very easy to get around. Also my dogs were happy to come with us on this trip and this house made that easy. Thanks!
Great property with plenty of room for a large group. Excellent location with an easy walk to ferry/floatplane docks, restaurants, groceries, and shopping downtown.
We LOVED this wonderful big house. There were so many great things about it..the spacious rooms, the beautiful woodwork throughout, the built-ins, the cleanliness, the well-stocked kitchen, the books everywhere...it was fantasticl. We were so comfortable. AND we could sit outside comfortably in the private big yardl
House was accurately described and great for our group, with plenty of space. Walkable to town and right around the corner from San Juan Brewery. Cute little outdoor area
