We thought we would try this interesting and very diff spot.its an old boat that has been remodeled by Judy and Johann. It’s situated in a very quiet area. We used Johann small boat to tour around the coast, such a beautiful area. Judy has the kitchen full of whatever you may need. We felt like we were at a cottage but had all the amenities we needed. We loved seeing the wildlife and being on the water.

This is a retreat from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommended. All in our party would have liked to stay a few more days to fully enjoy the amenities which will become more numerous we were told such as kayaking and windsurfing. The only negative was no on board means of doing our laundry and internet and television access was not working but we were there to escape and unplug which we were able to do easily.

8 guys in a hockey tourney thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Owners, Judy & Johan r helpful, welcoming, accommodating & gracious hosts. King, Queen, Bunk Beds & Couch queen sized pull-out, &/or room to sleep on 3 large couches. Huge screen TV in the spacious living rm, a great reclining Lazy Boy, dinner table for 6, well-equipped kitchen, great BBQ, great upstairs lounging deck, Wifi, etc. Quiet nights, security locked gate, safe & secure. Adjacent boating excursions & lots of watercraft passing in what's a very clean looking Marina. Downtown location is close to restaurants, grocery stores, liquor stores, craft stores, ferry landing, etc. Would gladly return & wishing Judy/Johan the very BEST!!!

Unique accommodation, perfect for an active family with teenagers or older children. It is an old ferry converted into a 3100 square foot house on water, with beautiful views of the surrounding water and hills. There was ample room inside and on the deck to enjoy nature. Our hosts were very welcoming, nearby and attentive to our needs. They transported our family and luggage by boat to the site, as the car is parked uphill. My son was interested in crabbing, so our hosts obtained crab bait and supplied the equipment for the activity.There is a beautiful park within 1 mile of the location for walking/hiking and mountain biking.The closest market is 6 miles / an 11 minute drive, so we found it more convenient to prepare our own meals. However, the hosts were kind enough to transported us by boat to the nearby bay for dinner, one night.There are 2 paddle boards and a dinghy available to explore the water. My daughter enjoyed the wildlife (jellyfish, seals, sea otters and eagles) from the paddle board. Unfortunately, the kayaks were not available/ damaged during our visit, but it was easy to rent them at Brentwood Bay nearby. Our stay at Flagship will be memorable, due to the unique setting, gorgeous location and kind hosts. Unique accommodation, perfect for an active family with teenagers or older children. But, it may not be suitable for persons with physical limitations, due to stairways and outer doorways requiring a high step over.
