The listing description was accurate: the little house was just more charming than expected. A bouquet of fresh flowers greeted us right by the keys to the house and a map of the island.

Our days were rhythmed by the horns of the ferries coming just across the bay. We were the neighbors of little birds coming to drink in the bird bath on the deck and of majestic eagles who shared the tall evergreens nearby with the crows. We ate on the deck and, on our first night, we saw a pair of orcas swimming in the water just in front of us!

The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen, well equipped, and the sitting room sofa, the kind that invites you to read a good book after spending some time exploring.

We will be back!
