Brand New Fully Updated Condo 912 in Anacortes

Electronic Key Pad, so easy access to the property.

The property requires a lease document, as well as submisssion of a photo ID and selfie with that ID. Not the end of the world, but much more than I've ever been required to do at another short term rental.

Favorite part of this property was its location.

It was very difficult to get into the unit. We were asked to sign a separate lease agreement after renting through Booking.com that required us to put a lot of personal information including credit card info into unsecured forms. It took many hours of back and forth communication with the owner to get the info we needed to check in and get inside the unit. There was also no wifi or parking available. We spoke to a third party assistance line multiple times and they were not very helpful. The additional rental agreement should’ve been given to us when we payed for the unit that way we don’t waste time. We were visiting family and the communication back and forth was time consuming and unnecessary if those forms would have given to us from the start.

It was exactly what was advertised.

Nothing.

Good location for our needs.

Designated parking for unit would have been appreciated. Towel bars in bathroom and a small towel bar/hoop for a hand towel by the wash basin.

It was new and very clean. The location is convenient.

We had no access to the garage and very little parking spaces . The master shower is very slippery. The smoke alarms went off twice in the middle of the night. No A/C upstairs, the portable unit was so loud I could not use it at night. We were there in August

Tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean

Exhorbitant pet fee for my 13 lb dog

The condo was very clean and everything is new. It was quiet during our stay and it was convenient to going out to the surrounding area. The heating was good and the new appliances were convenient. The space was bright and airy, the beds were comfortable, and the WiFi was consistent

Although new, the condo lacks some basics like towel racks in the bathroom, suitcase rack (or dresser) in the bedrooms, and some essential kitchen items were missing. The pots and pans in the kitchen were down-right hazardous with peeling non-stick coating. The can-opener was unusable, there was no kettle, and no kitchen cloth towels were provided. The communication prior to arrival was the most unnecessarily complex I've experienced with a short-term rental. At first I was instructed to identify a 2 hour block for arrival (I did) and then was told that I needed to identify a half hour block to arrange to meet with the host (which I did), and that communication was accompanied with a list of charges that would be levied if I did not meet at the assigned time. Most rentals just wait until the day before, or day of, rental and then send a code. But, this was very specific and the first time 2-hour block I indicated was ignored in favor of another time requested. So, I waited in the town at the assigned time to hear about the entry process. I emailed that I was there and waiting. After all this I was simply sent a code to the front door lock (no meeting with a host). Why did this have to be so complicated? You send me a code and tell me the earliest I can check in. If I come earlier you can then charge me. But, if I arrive later there is no harm. Kafkaesque!

Very clean and nice lay out had every thing I needed

Had power issues was with out power for several hrs two days and had to wait for 6 hrs one day for a breaker to be tripped in the garage that they have locked
