nice stay- appears to be individually owned condos that you rent out.

Pros: condo living, refrigerator, microwave, washer/dryer


Cons: nearby airport noise, mostly from 8 am until evening. not after dark usually.
you have to supply laundry soap and hair dryer.
no A/C but rarely needed as your are right on the beach- fans are available

We go to Smuggler's every Memorial Day. It's our yearly reunion, usually more than 10 families with children, and we love it every year. The facilities are great, heated pool, volleyball field, b-ball court, tennis, the lawn, play area with swings and slides, everything is just fantastic. We have plenty of room to stay active and play games, etc, or just relax and do nothing at all. We always end the day by the fire, on the beach, it's just a perfect setting.
The townhouses and ramblers are very clean, kitchens are well equipped, there's no need to eat in town should you not want to. Go catch some big trout from Cascade Lake in Moran State Park (15 minutes by car), come back and throw it on the grill, ask Mike how to cook it if you're not sure, there's nothing better.
Go to Smugglers, have fun, you'll enjoy every moment.

Stayed at Smugglers for a week with wife and two children. Excellent place for families as there were a lot of other kids around. Pool, tennis court, hot tub, nightly fire pit, a marina right there and a little over a mile to town of Eastsound. Our two bedroom "villa" was in good shape with a very good kitchen and a washer/dryer. One of the beds could have used a new mattress though. Smugglers is right near the airport so you have to get used to take-offs and landing by propeller planes during the day but it's not really a big deal. Also, nice owners who were very helpful.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Smugglers for four days in July. I was shocked when I walked in the door to our rambler. It was more space than the two of us needed but I loved it. Everything was clean and the overall atmosphere was very inviting. The pool was awesome and they even have an "Adults Only" hour which was nice. The resort managers were also very kind and helpful.
The location is nice as well. We enjoyed walking to the water to watch the sunset. It's also only about a mile walk into Eastsound, where the stores and restaurants are, and there's a public path that takes you straight there.
My only complaint is the resort is over run by kids and parents that don’t control their volume when most of us would. I wouldn't mind the noise if it weren't for the fact that the noise went on until about 11:00 or 12:00 at night and then started back up at about 7:30 AM. For this reason only, we would not stay here again. We really wanted to be able to sleep in on our vacation. The resort is also right next to an airport but the noise didn't really bother us. It stopped at night.

I would definately recommend this resort to large families that are looking for a nice getaway. It's a great place for families and their young ones to let loose. The managers even encourage it. : )
