About Owner/Property Manager

Our customers include Fortune 100 companies and we have sold products in 22 countries. My interest lies in developing innovative software that simplifies and enhances routine daily tasks in the personal, small business and corporate workplaces.

Owner/Property Manager purchased this cottage in 2003
Why Owner/Property Manager chose Bainbridge Island

Prior to moving to Bainbridge Island from Billings Montana, my wife and I had vacationed here several years. We were always struck with the beauty of the area so when we had a chance to move here we jumped at it. We weren't disappointed. We have lived here now since 2003 and love every minute of it. It took a long time to find this property since waterfront property is hard to find and with 1 acre and a dock it is even harder.

Every morning Sandy and I spend time looking out our picture window at Fletcher Bay while having coffee and are amazed that we never get tired of watching the water. The kinetic nature of it along with the variety of wildlife that use it is truly remarkable. It is a rare place to live and we are truly thankful of our good fortune to live here.

What makes this cottage unique

Wildlife that includes Bald Eagle, many different waterfowl, Blue Heron, Sea Otter, Seal, Osprey, Canadian Geese, a wide variety of song birds, Deer, Racoon, Fox, and the rarely seen but reportedly on the island, single black bear.

Kayaking, hiking, biking, fishing, boating, sailing, birding, and gardening almost year round. Ther is always something blooming here at any time of the year.

Paradise on Bainbridge

We were visiting relatives on Bainbridge Island and needed to find accommodations nearby. Much to our delight we found Larry and Sandra's little piece of paradise at Fletcher Bay. The accommodations were beautiful and totally comfortable and very clean, too! We enjoyed using all the beautiful spaces that Larry and Sandra created, in the morning we sat outside, overlooking the bay while sipping on our morning coffee, at night we sat around the fire pit roasting marshmallows. During the day we went kayaking in the boats that were provided and used the rubber boots (available in everyone's size) so we could explore the ocean floor at low tide-much to our delight we found large and small star fish in bright orange and purple! It was truly the most magical place and Larry and Sandra were the most gracious hosts. We can't wait to visit Fletcher Bay again!

We spent a very lovely long weekend at the Fletcher Bay Landing cottage, which is an absolutely perfect vacation spot for a peaceful getaway. The cottage is updated, clean and quite comfortable, and it is located conveniently on the island for short drives to restaurants, shops and sightseeing. There are thoughtful touches throughout the cottage, from high thread count sheets to local maps/guides to a fully functional kitchen with modern appliances. We would recommend this cottage to anyone, and will definitely be returning. Thank you for the hospitality, Larry and Sandra!

Just spent a wonderful weekend at this cottage. The owners have thought of everything, and the cottage is comfortable and relaxing. It is just a short walk to the water. We spent much of our time on either the stone patio overlook (with firepit) or on the sun deck. Lovely location and a great spot to use as a base for exploring the area. The owners also give you full access to a canoe and kayaks. We loved paddling down the inlet and enjoying the beautiful setting. A wonderful place, not too far from our home to come for a much needed rejuvinating weekend. We will be back!

We anticipated having a nice time at the Fischer's rental unit but it was 10 times nicer than we even anticipated. The accommodations were immaculate, classy and cozy. The bay was beautiful It was great to see how the bay changed with high tide and low tide. Every morning we would sit and read our books and drink coffee and watch the beautiful bay. Larry and Sandy made us feel like we were at home. Larry gave us a list of ideas for places to eat and things to do. The last night we were there, we sat by their gas fire pit and it was so beautiful we didn't want it to end. This rental unit is one of the nicest places that we have ever stayed and we will definitely be back. We will also recommend it to others.

Words cannot express how wonderful this vacation was. I would have never expected such peace and quiet was merely a ferry ride away from the city. Larry and Sandy are fabulous hosts, and the rental they maintain is perfect.

Relaxing, cozy, immaculate, comforting, peaceful, and entertaining are an understatement when I think back on this rental.

The first morning, after one of the most relaxing nights of my life, my girlfriend and I were sitting on the porch overlooking the bay, enjoying our coffee, and found ourselves only but 10-15 feet away from a mother and child deer. Truly amazing.

At the mouth of the bay, sitting in kayaks, I can truthfully say I saw one of the most beautiful sunsets I have seen in my life. Pinks, oranges, and dark blues. All as the sun set between two silhouetted peaks of the Olympics.

We have no doubt that we chose the best rental on Bainbridge, and we will be coming back time and time again. Highly recommended to all our friends, and to all you readers as well.

Thanks again Fischers!
