Athol's place is literally right across the water. You can see the cruise ships come and go starting on Thursdays through the weekend (depending on time of year). His house is a salmon color and really stands out from the other homes on the street. Athol texted me a couple of days before arrival and said we can check in whatever time we wanted as the apartment was not used for a couple of days and they were ready for us. He provided the instructions for how to enter the unit at the same time. I thought that was so great and kind to offer early check-in to us especially after taking the nearly 3 hour ferry ride there from Seattle and going through Customs/security with 2 people in my family who have restrictive physical conditions due to recent surgery. The home is beautifully landscaped. The front has a beautiful garden and two walkways that lead a path to the two garden apartments. You have to walk down a half flight of stairs to get to the unit on the left (when facing the house). The patio has a good sized table and chairs and there are flowers/plants hanging along with two adirondack chairs. The unit itself has 2 separate bedrooms -- one has a connecting bathroom with shower only while the other bathroom down the hallway has a tub in it. Both bedrooms are nicely decorated, spacious and comfortable! There is a washer/dryer in the closet of the one of the bedrooms. The kitchen is nicely updated with beautiful countertops, appliances, cabinetry and breakfast bar. The living/dining area is very comfortable and there are plenty of channels on the TV including Netflix. There is a hanging heating unit on the wall in the living room that can be used for actual heat and/or ambient lighting. It looks like real fire when you turn it on with the remote. Athol gives you access to the front porch upstairs with 4 chairs and fire pit. The fire pit is gas and all it takes is a switch to turn it on. We spent our nights sitting by the fire and watching the people near the water and cruise ships. I must say, Athol's son Brent was just awesome! We had rented an electric scooter since a couple of people in my family have physical restrictions and one just had back surgery. Brent helped us get a large extension cord hooked up so we can charge it and he and Athol let us keep it in the garage and gave us a garage door opening. That was so fantastic! We truly appreciated the extra mile they went out of their way to make our experience so easy and enjoyable. The location of their home is perfect! It's right across the water! Across the street is a restaurant/bar that was so convenient! It's literally a 5 min walk from the house and they have breakfast, lunch and dinner including a full bar and...
