We stayed here for a week with our kids and young grandkids. The house was perfect for accommodating everyone yet allowing everyone some personal space. Great spaces for interacting over family dinners, out on the deck or out on the grounds. The lake and kayak were a hit with our 3-year old granddaughter. Our dog loved roaming the grounds, but was contained by the deer fencing. The house was very nicely appointed and well provisioned. A short drive to beaches at Lime Kiln and Co Park. Gramma Rikki was helpful on check-in and available with suggestions for activities. Definitely a place we would consider returning to in the future.
our family of 10 (grandparents, parents and kids aged 8-14) had a great stay at Gramma Rikki's. The pond was so fun for kids to kayak, swim and paddle in. The beds were incredibly comfortable so all slept well. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Everyone loved it!
Loved every minute at Gramma Rikki’s
Our host, Gramma Rikki, is a gracious, friendly and a multi-talented person. She was very communicative from the time we reserved and all during our stay. Her property is beautiful and well maintained. Two of our family members spent a lot of days biking and hiking. The only difficulties we encountered were getting ferry reservations for the times that worked best for our travel schedule. Recommendation: call or get online as soon as you book your stay at Gr. Rikki's.
This place was perfect for a multi-generational family gathering. The youngest kids enjoyed the pond-like pool. Adults and older kids had fun playing pool. Everyone appreciated the comfortable and beautiful setting with plenty of opportunities for folks to gather or find a little quieter time for themselves.
We had a great visit to Grammas house. We loved visiting the island and coming home to this beautiful property at the end of the day!
This was a wonderful place to spend a few days away from it all with our family of eight, 6 adults and 2 grandchildren. Our grandsons took to the playground as soon as we arrived and visited it often throughout our stay. The filtered lake was enjoyed by most of the gang, swimming and paddle boarding. There was also badminton, and corn hole. The home is uniquely designed with a homey, comfortable atmosphere. We enjoyed the pool table and the grandkids had fun with the toys that were there. This was our first visit to San Juan Island so we explored quite a bit, but otherwise, we could have been perfectly happy just staying on the grounds the whole time. Gramma Rikki was a great host. It seemed pricey at first but was well worth it. We were very happy with our decision to stay here.
This week was magical! The house and grounds were amazing! Better than shown in pictures/words. The house was spotless, rich with character, and every room was gorgeous. The entire place was so beautiful and grand. Organized, labeled for ease and everything that may be needed for a fantastic vacation was at our fingertips! Plenty of towels, water toys, were available for our use. The pond added hours of fun for our group, and we enjoyed the wonderful, clean, bubbly hot tub! The space was perfect for our group, we all had plenty of room. This has to be one of our very best VRBO accommodations ever. Kudo's to the best Host ever!
Our family of 5 absolutely loved our time here! The property is spacious and no attention to detail was spared. Contact with the owner was seamless, quick, and friendly but never intrusive. All of the amenities were in great shape. The kids adored the playground, lake, and trampoline and we all loved the super comfy beds. A truly wonderful experience and we would love to return! 10/10 would recommend.
Perfect spot for a fun family holiday
The photos don't do it justice! We had a large family gathering as as a 'bucket list' trip for my Mom. The house was perfect, with large bedrooms to accommodate many adults, and a gate at the top of the stairs to keep the toddler out of trouble. The property is serene and quiet. The house is amazing and the kitchen is well stocked with pantry items. We needed nothing. The host was accessible and so helpful and gracious with our requests.
We could not have asked for better weather the week we spent at Gramma Ricci’s. The house and grounds were absolutely beautiful and well kept. We and our son’s family had lots of fun and quality time together there. Our grandkids absolutely loved the pond and the hot tub. The kitchen was well equipped, ample for a party of seven or more. There were TV’s literally in every room with lots of channels and programming to choose from. Our dog too loved frolicking around the grounds and chasing around with Gramma Ricci’s two pooches. If when ever there were any problems , Gramma was always there to resolve them. She was always very pleasant and gracious. We will never forget this vacation.
We had a wonderful time at Rikkis home, plenty of room for all 12 of us, including 4 under 3years. The pond was so much fun for all our 'pirating' adventures! San Juan Island is a place I've wanted to experience for a long time and was thrilled to find a house that fit us all!!! Rikki was available for all our questions but not intrusive at all. Thank you for all the memories!
Beautiful and peaceful setting. Close to state park and 20 min drive to town. We enjoyed the pool table in the basement and time on the deck. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was somewhat stocked. Debated giving 3 stars given the overall value. Lake was full of algae, didn’t deter the kids but the adults opted for the hot tub. Unfortunately the hot tub stopped working after the first night. Gramma offered to discount our next stay but we don’t take vacations that often so we probably won’t take advantage of the offer. Gramma was very responsive and setting beautiful so gave 4 stars.
We couldn’t have asked for a better location to celebrate our golden anniversary! The property was situated near the best whale watching on the island, was large enough to allow for large group meals and plenty of places to get some space when it was needed. The house had everything we needed and more! The kids loved playing in the small private lake, playing pool and ping pong and jumping on the trampoline! The adults enjoyed sharing in the fun and also appreciated the space for conversation and adult beverages!
Beautiful property! Gramma Rikki was very responsive and made the whole process easy. Appreciated the attention to detail with plenty of instructions/labels. Also, great kid friendly home with child gates and infant items. Beds were very comfortable and the sheets were incredible! Would love to come back another time!
Our stay was lovely. Gramma Rikki was warm and welcoming and the house exceeded expectations. So much to do on the property and on San Juan Island.
This house is located on such a cute property and is at a great location right between two little harbors! My family and I had such a great time staying there and enjoyed all the recommendations Gramma Rikki gave us.
My best friend and I celebrated our birthday at Gramma Rikki’s house. It’s a really amazing property with very comfortable beds. Loved the ocean views from the deck and the hot tub. Five stars!!
Gramma Rikki was very accommodating and helpful, and made our stay truly memorable. The home was large enough to house our group of 7 adults and 5 older kids comfortably. The park-like grounds were perfect for afternoon walks, and the kids loved the trampoline, kayaking and the hot tub. Thank you Gramma Rikki for your hospitality!
