loved watching eagles, ships, seals, tides, spring storms & incredible views...

March 27th - April 3rd

A week long stay for three sisters to share at the Compass Rose... Amazing! We truly enjoyed every inch of the house finding another place to read, capture the views, share stories, and of course Nap! The beauty of the island is endless, loved watching eagles, ships, seals, tides, spring storms & incredible views. Everything felt bigger & better the comfortable beds, the big dining room table, watching movies, the cozy couch, and the never ending beach!

Already looking forward to next year :) exactly!!

What a magical place to stay! The weather was super and the fishing was great. The kids had a blast making fires and playing in the hammock. The Compass Rose had everything we needed for our stay. We'll definitely be back. Ciao!

This is a magic place..

April 2009

This is a magic place for laughter and thought. If you don't know what to laugh about... watch those morning fishing birds for a minute or two and count up a half dozen reasons to be grateful.

One could be oblivious... but I chose Awe.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

What more could a Grandma want...

What more could a Grandma want than to spend a week with her family in such an idyllic location? Thanks for sharing your beautiful beach house. Weather was perfect. Now back to our various home states, taking with us some great memories.

What a wonderful place to come with the family and get away from it all. This place is truly a gem. The kayaks made for a good time. Other wonderful memories include campfires, bocce tournaments, biking, relaxing, reading, etc. We feel very fortunate to have been able to spend some time here at the Compass Rose.

...a perfect house with a breathtaking view.

July 2008

We had a really great stay here, in a perfect house with a breathtaking view. We enjoyed the beach and the kids loved kayaking. Boat trips to Matia and Sucia were great. We saw lots of Porpoises playing with our boat and Orcas just from the deck of the house.

We had a wonderful time, but we have to go back home to Germany.

Thank you very much and Auf Wiedersehen!

We knew this would be a great family vacation, but couldn't begin to imagine

June 2008

We knew this would be a great family vacation, but couldn't begin to imagine! We laughed, played board games, ejoyed the theater, beach fire, comfortable beds and loved the big farm table to gather all together for terrific meals! (including mussels!)

Thank you, endlessly, for sharing your island retreat. What a great way to show of the Northwest beauty to my Montana family.

The birds and seals put on several shows a day. It was surprisingly sunny and warm most of the days. The only thing missing was an Orca appearance.

Your Overwhelmingly Grateful,

It was the perfect venue for our family reunion

August 2006

“We want to thank you for making the Compass Rose vacation home available to us. It was the perfect venue for our family reunion and facilitated a most wonderful and memorable gathering. It enabled the many members of our two extended families to meet – in many cases for the first time – and connect in a way we had never connected before, creating lasting bonds of fellowship for which I am greatly appreciative!

The facility was far more than we expected or imagined, and made possible an experience that everyone enjoyed and which otherwise could not have happened. In every way, it was beautiful, and perfect for us! Everyone was awed! I, in particular, am awed at the loving generosity of the owners – not only in creating the home in the first place, but in the love and creativity that went into furnishing it so beautifully and lavishly, and in their willingness to sharing it with strangers! What was so surprising and very perfect for us was to find it furnished with every recreational toy and housekeeping item we could possibly need! We never expected that!! Please convey our heartfelt thanks to them. We feel we received great value from them, and that it was worth every penny!”
