Perfectly Appointed Studio

Chandra and Tyler have provided a great home/base to the peninsula. The full kitchen was such a plus for our trip, and the entire space is thoughtfully appointed and so well decorated. They were excellent hosts, communicating quickly when we had questions, and making certain all of our needs were met. The beach access and kayaks were an added bonus. I would highly recommend this property.

Relaxing getaway

Fantastic place for a relaxing getaway. The property was spotless, quiet, and comfortable with wonderful design elements and a well-equipped kitchen. Stairs lead down to the waterfront area where there are comfy Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. We spent much of our time down there enjoying the view and taking photos. The hosts were friendly and accommodating but gave us plenty of privacy. Can’t wait to return. Highly recommend.

Great place!

We loved this adorable place. It’s clear they have stayed in the property themselves and put a lot of thought into little details. Everything seems to be thought out ahead of you. For example, well stocked with spices and beach towels. We weren’t able to use the outdoor amenities due to the smoke from the fires but will be back! The fire pit on the water looked amazing and a great calm bay for kayaking. Nice location between Bremerton and other beach towns that were a quick drive.

Weekend getaway!

My wife and I had never spent time in this area of the state. It was nice to explore Washington a bit. The VRBO was exceptionally clean, well thought out as it had everything we needed in the kitchen etc. We had never stayed at a VRBO and were quite impressed. The beach access from the home was awesome, but the weather wasnt optimal so we didnt spend as much time on the beach as we would like. I would highly recommend this place as a nice relaxing weekend retreat. Thank you.

Beautiful, Clean, and Comfortable!

My husband and I stayed here two nights for our anniversary. The bed was sooo comfortable and the design and details in this studio apartment are beautiful and thoughtful! Everything you would need to cook and many lovely little planned details to make us feel special and appreciated. Chanda and Tyler go over and above to make us feel welcome and make sure we are happy with the property. It’s a bit of a walk down to the water but well worth it (we did it several times a day) and we would definitely stay here again!

Perfect little get-away!

Chanda and Tyler made this such a lovely stay for my husband and I. They have equipped the studio with everything you could possibly need; great kitchen equipment, comfortable bed, plenty of linens, easy, modern technology. But the real draw is the bay: kayaking around at sunset we saw harbor seals, jelly fish, herons, eagles, cormorants- so alive yet peaceful! Cooking paella at the firepit at the water's edge? Doesn't get any better. Thanks, you two!! An anniversary we will always remember.

Relaxing stay

It was an fantastic stay at Chico Bay Inn. It was a much needed retreat weekend for us and Chanda and Tyler made it amazing. The unit is lovely designed and has everything we needed for the stay, even breakfast! Tyler and Chanda were super responsive, they got everything prepared should we wanted to have a fire outside right next to the water. They even went dry outdoor chairs and tables after the rain to make sure they are ready for us. They made sure the kayaks were clean and ready for us when we mentioned we wanted to go paddling. It was wonderful to be able to launch the kayaks from the house and paddle around the bay. We love our stay and thank you Tyler and Chanda for making it such memorable time.

LOVED our stay at Chico Bay Inn! Our first VRBO and they have set the bar HIGH! We felt cared for in their welcome note, the breakfast food & mimosa’s! The Garden Inn is special, warm, comforting & had everything we needed and then some. Even though it was cold I walked down to the water several times and enjoyed sitting on the chairs to watch the seals on the swim platform or take in the many different birds. Even at night they have the gardens and stairs beautifully lit. I can’t say enough good things about our stay & the special couple that run it with love. This was a much needed vacation for my husband and I! It was everything we needed and then some. (My husband uses a walker & it was accommodating to him.) We are grateful & will be sure to plan another stay in the future.

The Perfect Getaway

We had an amazing time here at the Chico Bay Inn Garden Suite. Tyler and Chanda’s hospitality is unrivaled! From the moment we walked in the door we felt welcome and at ease. The perks here are great! From the orange juice and champagne for mimosas, to the yummy mint chocolate soap in the multi head steam shower, to the kayaks, and everything you need to build a fire out on the bulkhead! They even offered to light the fire for us. We are grille novices so we didn’t utilize the garden grille area, but it was just another added bonus to staying in this beautiful suite. The decor is wonderful, the bed and sheets are so comfortable. Our favorite part of our trip was enjoying the Fourth of July fireworks after an evening of kayaking and sipping wine on the lounge chairs. In the midst of Covid, having hosts that value social distancing and wear masks in every interaction offered peace of mind. This was a thoroughly enjoyable trip and I’m sure we will be back.

Superb guest experience

My wife and I had a lovely anniversary weekend at this rental. It is well located, off a quiet street, but only a short drive into town. My overall impression was that the owners really cared about the guest experience, and it showed in the small welcoming touches, and the amenities of the unit. The front door is a short distance from the parking, making it easy to load and unload. The door uses a keypad, which made check in easy, and we never had to worry about a key. The hosts had left a welcome message for us, and ingredients for mimosas and pancakes. There were other nice touches, such as having slippers and robes available, and a well-stocked kitchen with coffee makings, and more. They also had a binder with directions for how to use everything from appliances to the bed, and where to find items you might want for cooking or using the fire pit. Besides, clearly thinking through the guest experience, I also thought the unit was tastefully decorated, and had high-end touches that really made the experience top notch. The fancy shower was a delight, and we loved using the bed with the moveable base while watching tv. The hot tub was basic but close to the entrance, and in the cutest little garden area. The highlight though, was access to the bay via a set of stairs that brings you right down to the water. There was a set of chairs with an umbrella, and a fire pit. The hosts also thoughtfully provided a box of kindling already down there, and blankets for outside so you could get cozy. We enjoyed our morning coffee everyday down on the water, watching the wildlife. We also used the fire pit in the evening and watched the sunset. Truly a magical location! The only snag we experienced was the hot tub getting an error on our second night and needing to be re-set. The host was very responsive to my text, and we were able to get things fixed without even leaving the tub! Overall, I would highly recommend staying here, and will certainly return myself.

A great place to relax and unwind!

If you are looking for a great place to sit by the water, or kayak in the bay or simply stroll along the shore when the tide is out then this is the place for you. Chanda and Tyler have created a great spot for couples to come and enjoy the grounds and surrounding area. They have thought of everything from kayaks for your use, rubber boots so that you can take a stroll and explore the shore or simply sitting by the water and enjoying a fire that they have provided you with the materials required to make one. Equally, the suites are comfortable and afford you the opportunity to cook in or bring dinner back and enjoy it in your suite or by the water. Finally, the hosts of this great property are extremely at tentative and will respond quickly to any query that you may have. You will not be disappointed if you choose to spend some time at their property.

Anniversary Getaway at Chico Bay

What a gem this vrbo is. We have never seen a rental as beautifully decorated with unique art. It felt so high-end with luxurious touches like bathrobes, mimosas to celebrate our Anniversary, kayaks, hot tub, and the most comfortable bed & linens. We also enjoyed exploring the garden right outside our door & identifying herbs, flowers, etc. Our favorite part was being at the water, just a short walk across the grounds & down the steps. We took a low tide walk one morning, finding a sand dollar & watching heron, river otters, & seagulls. Then during high tide, we paddled our kayaks around the point to get a unique view of all the waterfront homes & more wildlife. The hosts were friendly & helpful while still giving us plenty of privacy. What a delightful weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Chanda and Tyler

Host profile image
In a former life, Chanda worked in the fields of International Education and Intercultural Learning and Tyler was a touring musician, designer and media producer. We dreamed of creating a life where every day felt like a vacation, even when we were hard at work. In 2018, we finally made the leap to both leave full-time jobs and work for ourselves, making our dream a reality!

We built a business out of our passion for renovating distressed properties and spend our days bringing houses back to life with fine craftsmanship and innovative design, creating warm, inviting homes packed full of modern amenities. We also love traveling, eating/cooking great food, kayaking, listening to live music, spending time outdoors and meeting new people!

Why they chose this property

We both knew from the instant that we walked in the front door that this was our waterfront dream house! Our realtor thought we were joking about putting in an offer before seeing the entire house, but it was love at first sight for both of us, and we could already visualize our home in its finished state.

What makes this property unique

- Chico Bay is home to the delicious Chico Bay Oyster
- The bay view is ever changing with the tides, seasons and wildlife
- From the property you often see bald eagles, otters, seals, salmon, blue heron, ducks, geese, and more

- Guests have access to an outdoor hot tub
