Our stay at Laura's place was amazing! The views were even better than what was pictured online. When you are inside you feel like you're outside because of all the windows. Everything about the place is perfect. All the beds are sooo comfy, with new linens and towels. The place is spotless which is very important to me. The extras were great - shampoo and conditioner, soap, tooth brushes and paste, coffee - so nice. The location was perfect for us. We took the rental car on the ferry to Whidbey the first day and hiked Ebey's Landing - a 3 1/2 mile trail along the bluff above the water. Spectacular! Day 2 & 3 were spent along the harbor - Pikes Market, Ballard Locks Cruise, Space Needle (do at night!), Chihuli Glass and Gardens (breathtaking!) and ate lots of yummy food. The Pink Door was our favorite! We walked on to the ferry to Bainbridge Island on day 4 - a darling little town with lots of cute shops and restaurants. We had lunch at the Harbour Public House - food and view of the docks was great! It was awesome to come home each night to such a lovely retreat! We couldn't have asked for more!
