The experience was wonderful the house was clean, roomie, comforting, and the group enjoyed the location! Oh we were picking shells, enjoying card games in the living room, resting comfortably after visiting spots on the island. There were suggestions incase we had no idea what to eat nearby or what there was to do if we had no plans. We didn’t use the hot tub but it looked inviting! Honestly we joked about revisiting that house in some years, but I’m kind of hoping we actually do cause it was a great spot to be at!

We had a wonderful day and very much enjoyed this beautiful home! The home has everything that one could ask for, clean, comfortable accommodations, a generously sized sparkling clean Jacuzzi, a beautiful and quiet beachfront for evening campfires and room for pet guests to enjoy themselves. We very much appreciated all of the personal design touches that the owners curated, that so many rental homes lack; well done!! We highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful time, thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished it could have been for a longer period. The rental was so nice and comfortable for our large (9) group. Well equipped with necessities and clear instructions on how to care for the cabin while there and what to do upon leaving. Very clean and amazing view! Great access to the beach. We’d like to return next summer!

Lovely house right near the water with so many great amenities from the yoga mats, games, toys and recreational equipment to the well stocked kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. Perfect amount of space for our party of 11 ranging from tweens to grandparents and the dogs were so happy to have space to explore and run around too. The beds and hot tub were a bit tricky to get in and out of for my older sister and parents since they were a bit high so perhaps step stools would be helpful. The host was super responsive to all my messages, had a very nice welcome basket of goodies waiting for us and even took the extra effort to return some clothing that was accidentally left behind, which was greatly appreciated!

peaceful and spacious beachfront home

We had a great family reunion at this lovely home. The decks, large yard, and lowbank beachfront give you lots of space to roam. The 5 bedrooms and 4 common spaces make it easy for everyone to find their own space for fun or quiet times. The kitchen is super well equipped for cooking projects. All the decor is modern and tasteful. Highly recommend.

Incredible place!

Elisabeth’s place at Greenbank was fantastic! We had a great family gathering with family members ranging in age from 2 years old to 70+! The yard is huge and the beachfront is serene and quiet. The whole yard and area feels secluded. The house has everything you need to stay entertained even if the weather isn’t great and there’s tons of room for everybody to run around!

Relaxing Family Retreat

Our group of three families really enjoyed our stay for many reasons; the location directly on a quiet beach, thoughtfully equipped rooms to gather together to eat, play games, stretch/exercise, relax and reconnect. All the rooms had comfortable beds & luxurious bedding so we all slept well. The views from the hot tub were a big bonus and everyday there was wildlife to see. Thank you to our hosts providing excellent information about the home itself, the surrounding area, places to eat, see and do. Highly recommended!!

A wonderful weekend getaway

Thank you Elisabeth for opening up your lovely home for my weekend away with friends. The house was gorgeous, clean, and well stocked. We found the layout of the house great for lounging, cooking and eating together as a group, and hanging out down at the fire pit was a highlight. The beach was perfect for long walks exploring the shoreline. My whole group loved the house and will definitely be back again when we can!

Fools Weekend

We loved the house and hope to return next year. The three separate gathering spaces on the main floor were perfect for having a puzzle and multiple games going at the same time. The kitchen was simply stocked with quality dishes. Beach access was easy and the beach itself was interesting and quiet, except for all the eagles. Beds were all comfortable and bedding was quality. I also loved how well signed everything was without being tacky.

Gorgeous waterfront home

Our stay was wonderful! The house is even nicer in person than the photos show. Everything was clean, well-organized, and abundantly stocked. Elisabeth was easy to communicate with and always responded promptly. Only thing to be wary of could be the level changes between some of the rooms if you have little ones. That didn’t occur to us when booking but could be problematic if you have an adventurous crawler.

From the moment we set foot on this charming property we were captivated by the sweeping views (including Mt. Ranier on a clear day) and beautiful interior. From the spacious and comfortable accommodations to the luxurious linens to the exceptionally curated decor, this property checked all the boxes for our extended family get-together.

Absolutely beautiful home, right on the water! Our host thought of everything! The home has 3 living rooms, plus a large meditation/ yoga room with a fireplace. Yoga mats are there too! I can’t say enough about the kitchen, it’s equipped with everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed many walks on the beach, the awesome sunrise, coffee on the deck, hot tub, the setting is perfect! It’s very quiet, with nature all around. We went shopping in Coupville and Langley, great shops! My only complaint is that our stay was too short, next time we will stay longer!
