About this property

From the roof lines to the original hinged windows, this is a truly one of a kind home. It was built nearly 100 years ago by Superior Court judge William Bading as his hunting get-away..... and it is rumored that he utilized the local inmates craftsmanship to complete the construction.
The home has many original features but has been updated with todays creature comforts. The main home has 4 cozy & unique bedrooms along with 3 nicely appointed baths. Scenic views are enjoyed from almost every room. The master suite enjoys its own balcony,...the views are really lovely from this room. There is an additional guest house located across lawn which features a full kitchen, full bath, and a comfy queen bed in the loft . This also has its own covered deck and space to get away.
The outdoor spaces provide many areas to relax and enjoy the views. The small hillside deck area with adirondack chairs & fire pit is a wonderful little spot to watch the sun set behind the Olympics . The main patio has plenty of seating and great for entertaining. We've recently added a new spot down on the beach stair landing for two to enjoy a quiet view and a cold beverage.
The yard spaces are perfect for badminton or a one handed croquet tournament. Established gardens and hedges provide for a pretty private experience.
We love the charm this home exudes as well as the truly active views. Watch early morning water skiers, harbor seals, bald eagles and yachts cruising into the bay to anchor for the weekend.

Absolutely magnificent property

Simply the nicest property we have ever rented. We had a mix of family and friends staying with us for our son's wedding. The property is immaculate inside and out. Beautifully manicured gardens. The house had everything we needed and more. Even the gas grill was spotless. We cooked several meals for our large group and every cooking utensil we needed was available (and more). They thought of everything. The waterfront view was amazing and we enjoyed the firepit almost every night while watching the sun set into the mountains. We took advantage of the kayaks and paddleboard to explore the inlet in front of the house. We saw seals and osprey almost every day. The bedding was super comfy and all of our guests commented on how well they were able to sleep. Carol Sue is a great host and very responsive when we had a small issue. The only bad part of our stay was leaving. We would love to come back again some time. If I could give this property 10 stars, I would.

Rocky Point Paradise

Our second stay in this excellent, well-managed property. Our every need and desire was anticipated, the house is spotless, the grounds impeccable. Easy communication with Carol Sue. A blissful setting, plenty of room to roam and recreate, comfy beds, modern bathrooms, a boutique finish to everything. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, serving dishes, appliances, everything you need for family kitchen time if you so desire. Great indoor and outdoor seating, kayaks, life preservers for every shape and age, the owners know what it takes to host a perfect getaway. The absolute best VRBO property in our decades long experience. Bravo!

PNW Oasis

Seldom do you stay at a property that exceeds your expectations in every way. This lovely estate was perfect for our family trip with our three adult children, their spouses and kids. The grounds were as beautifully maintained as the house. We are a cooking family and the kitchen is spacious and fully equipped. Even with several young families, there was space to be together and to find a respite. Paddle boarding in the calm inlet was great and the beach was nice for small children, especially when the tide is out. Carol Sue accomodated our early check-in request and responded promptly to all inquiries during our stay. Our family hopes to return to this truly unique property many times in the future.

Beautiful home, beautiful view!

This home was perfect for our family of 10 to celebrate our parents 80th birthday! There was enough room for the entire family, breathtaking views of the water, lots of outdoor space for lawn games, and the location to the ferry over to Seattle couldn’t have been better. We definitely recommend this home and have even talked about coming back again in the future. Carol Sue was such a wonderful host. The little special touches that she added to welcome us was to the home meant so much to us. Thank you Carol Sue!

About the host

Hosted by Carol Sue Barker

Carol Sue is a northwest native and happy to help with recommendations for local attractions and sight seeing.

Why they chose this property

The Kitsap Penninsula is a wonderful jumping off point for the Pacific Northwest. We are located 10 minutes from the Seattle Ferry. A ferry ride is a must for those visiting here for the first time, the ride through Rich Passage is magical then once in Elliot Bay the Seattle skyline is in full view for your family photo opportunities.
Walking around Seattle is easy , the waterfront, the market, Pioneer Square is all right there. Parking in Seattle is expensive and difficult, the ability to leave your car in Bremerton is affordable and convenient. The Olympic peninsula is less than 40 minutes from here, crossing the Hood Canal floating bridge is stunning and your gateway to the Olympic National Park. There are many scenic drives and hikes here as well as charming Port Townsend and historic Fort Warden.
Driving to Mount Rainier National Park is also about a 1.5 hour drive from this location and you'll avoid most of I-5 by getting there from this direction.

What makes this property unique

We are native to this area. Whatever unique northwest experience you're looking for we can likely point you in the right direction. Perched above the saltwater bay, this vacation home is a relaxing way to also experience beautiful views, a sunset kayak ride, a croquet game, or just a quiet glass of wine by the fire.
