We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the BayAway in Port Orchard. Plenty of space, very comfortable beds, and clean surroundings enhanced our family vacation. Ample room for 5 vehicles, and many attractions in the area drew us to them. We especially enjoyed the smaller of the two bakeries downtown. The kitchen facilities were complete, and the BBQ grill was excellent. Wish we could have stayed a few days more!

Location is awesome with views of the harbor and ease of getting to downtown. (Be aware that there is sound from the busy road in front. However it didn’t really bother us.) Host is super responsive. The house is great with a big kitchen and well stocked with pantry staples. Bedrooms/bathrooms are separated on 3 levels so it was nice for our 3 couples to spread out. We used the deck fire pit one evening. And the dining room table fits a large group. Had a wonderful stay!!

Great host with lots of space

My family was very happy with this property. This was a last minute booking which can be difficult but we had no problem here. The host was very responsive and answered multiple messages immediately. There's lots of room and even thought we could have had 2 families. Everything was as advertised.

Our own private spaces

Check in was simple. The hostess was in contact with us whenever we needed and made our stay that much easier. If we needed anything she was quick to answer. The kitchen is probably outfitted better than your own kitchens at home! We lacked for nothing. There were 3 of us, and 4 bedrooms, so when we came home tired from our workshop we could go to our rooms and hang out without bothering anyone else in the house. The house is beautifully appointed with a nautical theme and we were very comfortable. Amenities and restaurants were near at hand.

Beautiful location with lots to do, easy access to other ports and Seattle. Depending on what you want to do, you may not need a car. 1 week was not enough. Very spacious and exceptionally clean house with amenities including toiletries, paper products and coffee to name a few, making traveling easier and very much appreciated.

Loved Our Stay By The Bay!

We loved this home by the Bay! The sunsets on the water with the mountains in the background were beautiful. This home is a great place for a family of four or more to stay. The bedrooms are spread out around the house and the beds are super comfortable. It’s clean and nicely decorated inside. Communication with the property manager was super easy. We highly recommend this place!

Picturesque beautiful Port Orchard home away from home

Our stay started with great communication from Melissa, she was welcoming, helpful and accommodating to our requests. Home was well taken care of, furnished and updated. Plenty of space for our family to have room to stretch out, play and relax. Accommodations were comfortable and thought out. The bay away is right next to the road but felt quiet throughout the visit. The weather wasn’t super cooperative but the deck looked wonderful to use. Location was an easy ferry ride in from the city and a short drive away a waterfront shopping area. Enjoyed the waterfront trail for a run. Was a great trip, if we stay in port orchard again this will be at the top of the list!
