Stunning modern, stylish house with a jaw-dropping view of Puget Sound, Seattle and the Cascade Mountains from the east side of Bainbridge Island. The host has thought of everything from heated floors in the bathroom, to reading glasses, binoculars, and a fully appointed kitchen. Many books, fascinating games for all ages, warm fireplaces. The house exudes a quiet serenity. A short walk to a wonderful market with local food and wine and a top-notch, niche Italian restaurant. There are beach walks and trails nearby as well. Thank you to the lovely hosts. We will be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The view at the home is absolutely incredible. From morning coffee outside watching the sunrise, to a glass of wine or cocktail in the evening, followed by a late night firepit, we couldn’t get enough of the beautiful view. The home is nice and had everything we needed.

Everything was really fantastic. The home, the setting, the neighborhood, all the activities on the island, the food, the managers input and advice, etc. Beautiful weather didn’t hurt either! Exactly what we were looking for for a family retreat and downtime. We’ll be back!

Slice of Heaven
Gorgeous. Green, blue, flowers! Birds abound, ships sail the sound. Owner and Property Mgr were timely with their responses including recommendations on Bainbridge. Clear directions to find home, and a helpful binder to explore the island. Their thoughtful welcoming gifts got us off to a delicious start and very nicely complemented the expansive views. We were traveling with our two young adult children and all of us had both space to ourselves within the home, and plenty of room to interact inside and outside in the nicely landscaped yard too. Closet with puzzles and games; ample clean towels and basic supplies in all bathrooms and kitchen. We visited during a full moon and the already stunning views opened to tidal water changes in Puget Sound. Carly's Cafe in Rolling Bay was an enjoyable easy morning walk to fresh coffee and pastries, and Winslow had plenty to offer in food, interesting stores, art, friendly locals. It was an absolutely delightful holiday; wish we could've stayed! Highly recommend.

We throughly enjoyed our stay here. The welcoming touches, fresh flowers, groceries, candle and soap were great. The home is absolutely beautiful and the views are breathtaking. Even with some rainy weather the views were still amazing. We enjoyed watching all the freighters, cruise ships, sailboats, … I’m already trying to figure out when we can come back.

We were all blown away by view back towards Seattle and North. Beautiful yard with lots of vocal birds. We were there during rare 100 temps. Lots of cover on deck with extendable cover and inside A/C worked great. Great Nursery and Italian restaurant within blocks and 10 minutes to Winslow.

This property is truly one of the most unique and special my husband and I have ever rented. The views are absolutely unparalleled, looking north towards Whidbey Island. The location was excellent for the many activities we enjoyed, from catching the ferry to Seattle or hiking in the Olympic National Forest. The property managers were easy to communicate with and responded readily to any concerns. The homeowner kindly ensured that we would be able to bike during covid when no rental bikes were available. Anyone able to rent this home will remember it fondly for the sunsets, the wildlife, the bed comfort, the privacy and the peace. Bainbridge Island is absolutely idyllic and we cannot wait to return to this perfect home again and again.

Julie's house and hospitality was the best! The house sits on a portion of the coastline that get the most amazing views and light, morning through sunset. We loved waking up to the morning sun and then enjoying drinks outdoors at sunset.
The house works really well, the rooms are separated and there is plenty of privacy as well as space to share time together. We appreciated the welcome note, breakfast provisions and local chocolate that Julie provided as well!
Right down the street is the wonderful Via Rosa restaurant, Bay Hay and Feed, and Carly's Rolling Bay Cafe, which served some of the best coffee and pastries we enjoyed during our Pacific Northwest road trip!
Of all the many VRBOs we've experienced, Julie's house is one of the very best! A special shout-out to Deborah and Andrea, who help manage the property. They were instantly responsive and available when needed!
We look forward to returning to Bainbridge Island and Julie's house!!

This is a beautiful property! The view from the patio is breathtaking and relaxing. The home is very clean and we felt welcomed with fresh flowers. It was a great location for a 30-year college friends get together. I highly recommend this property!

Oh, we’ll be back!
This place is a little slice of heaven set up on a hill with a breath taking view. Hard to get anything done it’s so darn nice out there. I have to admit we had pizza or pasta at Via Rosa every night. Thanks for sharing this house with us.

Delightful
This place that will cast a spell over you if you let it. The pictures really don't do the house and panoramic views justice. From the hummingbirds to the wafts of lavender from the garden, everything about this property is so well thought out and inviting, that from the moment you arrive you are enchanted. The house is well stocked and Julie and Deborah thoughtfully provided yogurt from a local dairy and a basket of local soaps, treats, milk, and bread. There were even fresh flowers on the table. Nearby options for food, wine and amusement are numerous (yes Via Rosa's is as good as the raves), including a couple of top notch restaurants. Fresh eggs and locally grown fruit from the Hay and Feed store was also appreciated. We especially enjoyed the Fairy Dell Hike and the wine tasting up the road with music on the lawn. All and all one of the favorite places we have visited. Enthusiastically recommended.

The pictures do not due this house and location justice. Superbly clean, quiet, yet a short walk to coffee and quick drive to Winslow. Absolutely incredible. Thanks for opening your home for others to experience.

What a beautiful home. We'll be back!
Julie's home is stunning. The home is beautifully appointed, the view is extraordinary and the service was first class. We are already looking at calendars for booking a return trip. We've stayed in many places on Bainbridge Island and this is by far our favorite!
Thank you Julie and Deborah for all your outstanding work and hospitality.

Want to look into eternity?
Mystical, magical corner of the world with spectacular jaw dropping views. Gardens with hummingbirds, fire pit and front row seats to the water ways. Best of all, walking distance to Via Rosa for pizza and spaghetti. Little town is so quaint I feel like I’ve entered a hip Mayberry. Home has everything you need with luxury rooms, fireplaces. There was a surprise greeting basket with local fresh whole grain bread, yogurt, jam and soap. Top notch!

Unbelievable views from great Bainbridge Island Location
Our group of 3 couples had an overall great stay at the Modern House in Rolling Bay but there were a couple of quirks. Bottom line? We would love to stay here again.
This is an impeccably well maintained property both inside and out. The landscaping appears to be professionally designed and fits in beautifully with the surroundings. There is a selection of outside seating from which we were able to enjoy the view of Puget Sound and across to the mainland. The house itself is a spectacular example of how good design can be used to enhance a setting's natural beauty. In addition it's spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. The beds are comfortable and made with high quality linens and there were plenty of towels in easy to access locations throughout. The kitchen is on the small side but the appliances are all full sized and it's so well laid out that we didn't have an issue with it. Additional nice touches included welcome baskets with local bread, jam, yogurt, soaps, and bee balm; milk and butter were included as well.
The property is an easy .25 mile walk to a pleasant cafe and small grocery. We walked up for coffee (and sometimes pastries) every morning. There's also a highly rated Italian restaurant nearbv, Via Rosa 11, but it was closed during our stay due to water main issues.
While the 6 of us made it work, and loved our stay here, the house feels like it's really meant for 4 adults. The third bedroom with the queen Murphy bed is large but seemed to be more of a converted home office space. The couple in that room said the room was fine but they wished there had been an armoire or bureau to put their clothes in.
We found the seating in the living area to be a bit challenging as well: the sofa is so low to the ground that it made it difficult for some of us to get up from. There are 3 side chairs but, if we all wanted to be together, we either sat outside or around the dining room table.
Finally, we did have an issue with the water heater while we were there but the property manager had let us know in advance and was super quick to respond when the hot water ran out. Deb talked us through a temporary fix and then got the plumber out the next morning. What could have been a major inconvenience was resolved efficiently and cheerfully.
I hope we get a chance to visit Bainbridge Island again someday. We would happily stay here again!

Exquisite views and home
This was an absolutely fantastic home to stay in. The owner is very warm and helpful with details about the area and the renting of the house. The time spent in this beautiful home, with my high school friends, made our trip so memorable.
The home,itself, is absolutely lovely, welcoming, and so relaxing. What a wonderful way to wake up and have the gorgeous views of Seattle, Ballard and northward starting your day. We did spend time, also, just sitting at night and relaxing in the amazing area outside.
The beds were very comfortable and the living space worked very well for us. The heated master bathroom floor was great! The location was walking distance to an adorable coffee store, general store, fantastic Italian restaurant (we did take out) and a short walk to the water.
We were sorry to have to leave and go back to the real world. We definitely want to come back to this wonderful home!

An amazing 180 degree view of the sound!
What a lovely surprise to be greeted by a Welcome basket with many goodies, including a delicious, fresh loaf of bread. But, even more thoughtful, was the carton of milk for our granddaughter. The house faces out to the sound, with beautiful landscaping, and an unobstructed view of the water and the city across the sound. It is quite spacious, accommodating, our entire group nicely. The location is perfect, with a great Italian Restaurant nearby, and a Jiffy Mart, for the things we still needed.
It may not matter to most, but the counters in the kitchen and bathrooms, are just slightly higher than usual, and may be a problem if you are particularly short, as our daughter-in-law, who is not quite 5 ft. tall.
We would definitely, consider staying there again.
