We enjoyed the house immensely. It was spacious, and the views of the water were gorgeous. The kitchen was very usable. We were able to have our dog and she also enjoyed being a part of things. We would rent the property again without hesitation. The price point was also good. I am made the original reservation and thought I was making it for Friday Harbor, but Lopez Island was lovely and relaxing. We also Enjoyed fine dining at Ursa Minor. That was fabulous! Thank you!
Master bed appeared to have just been made with dirty sheets. No suprise when owners start using large companies to manage. With high quantity comes low quality.
The house was great. The location is close to the village. Very nice. If the only thing that was not perfect was the downstairs bathroom being a little dirty.
House was clean! Very outdated. Looks across main road at the water, NOT waterfront! Would be nice if owners could put a little effort into updating property, more than just flooring. Very strick rules.
We enjoyed it, but some constructive criticism.
* The door keypad code should be shortened. A 10-digit code is ridiculous. I believe 4 or 5 is adequate and would eliminate much frustration.
*We rented after reading an April review noting the primary shower was terrible. The plumbing fixtures are old and not functional. The owner replied that the problem would be fixed. Well, it was not, and my we had to endure a trickle shower. I used the guest bath, but my wife likes the privacy of her bath. Very disappointed.
This house was a wonderful sanctuary for our time on Lopez Island. Very clean and comfortable. Well stocked kitchen. We particularly enjoyed the view and the fireplace.
We had a wonderful stay in this perfect location in Lopez. Beautiful view overlooking the bay, we watched the seals playing each dayabd enjoyed the sunse. The three bathrooms and all the beds were perfect for our family of 6.
Davis House was great for our 3 day visit from Seattle. It is roomy and comfortable as well as well equipped. You can't beat to views west over the bay and sunsets. The kitchen sink even has a great view! The location is convenient to the Village and kayak and bike rentals. We felt very lucky to get it in mid July with somewhat short notice. Only negative is that it is an older home and starting to show some age and wear. Removing the wall to wall and replacing with flooring like in the kitchen would help. But, overall, we are so happy we found it.
My partner and I, and two adult children came here for a belated Thankgiving, choosing this dog friendly house for the view and amenities. No disappointment in the 70's vibe or the view! Beds were comfortable. Agree with a previous commenter on the addition of a smart tv, and would add a refresh of the kitchen cookware. A grill would be a nice addition, in this house so very suitable for larger groups.
Frustrating though to read recent reviews regarding the heat issue and to see that our complaint of the same was already well known. We arrived in the early evening on a sub freezing day to find the power out to the kitchen and dining areas (corrected by a flip of the breaker, which we had access to only after contacting the property manager). The inside house temp was no more than 50 degrees as all of the heaters had been turned off - individual baseboard heaters and thermostats in every room which would have been a quirk worth understanding. The baseboards in the kitchen and dining areas (our main desired gathering place) as well as the basement game room area were not functional until day 3 when a maintenance person literally wiggled a loose wire in the dining room unit back into place. My welcome letter stated that firewood would be provided - it was not - and we payed for multiple bundles of the high priced firewood from the store.
The Davis House is not at all a bad spot, but shouldn't be available for rent until the heat issue is addressed.
This home is in nice shape but looks and feels like you've gone back in time 50-60 years. We were there during a cold snap and couldn't quite get warm enough - some of the baseboard heaters didn't work, and the fireplace had a unique ventilation setup that we didn't quite figure out. The property management company brought us a portable heater (some assembly required) and that helped. Otherwise we enjoyed the spacious kitchen/dining area with a beautiful view. I saw lots of wildlife including a bald eagle, deer, kingfisher, and seals.
It was relaxing low paced very scenic biked and hiked, but fishing is my main interest sad to say all fishing was shut down I will go to British Columbia to avoid that disappointment again.
