RESERVE your spot on the FERRY as soon as you can. Although we booked 3 weeks early, the only ferry available was the first run of the day, both coming and going - 6:45 a.m. Inconvenient since check-in is at 4:00 p.m. and leaving at 5:00 a.m. on the last day was a bummer. We had to ensure we were ready to go the night before since you have to drive into town to drop keys and then back-track to the ferry.
Karen was very nice to work with. We went to the office when we arrived to get the keys, but they didn't open until 10:30, so we went exploring. There is no shortage of things to see and do on this magical island. We wandered back to town around noon and was delighted when we were told we could check in early.
The cabin was the perfect size for the two of us. Cell phone service was poor, one bar and roaming. There is a little TV, but unless you want to shop, catch a sermon, or care to watch Tokyo, don't bother - no news. That of course, was not why we were here. The only reason we are not giving 5 stars is, the washing machine was broken and the only toilet paper was the one on the roll (didn't realize that until the last evening and stores were closed already). Also, in the contract where it discusses trash, it said a kitchen bag and a black bag would be provided, there were none. It may seem nit-picky, but it was important as we are scrambling to get packed and clean up for our early departure.
We enjoyed sitting on the deck and walking down to the beach during low tide. There are starfish and little crabs, hummingbirds and eagles to watch. The view of the sound is breathtaking.
We would definitely book again and can't wait to come back to this enchanted island.
