Great family trip
We enjoyed long awaited family time. The house and property were ideal for water fun, bonfires and corn hoe tournaments. The house was well stocked and the owner was attentive to our every need. We highly recommend!

Beautiful Place
The house, property and view were more than expected. My son and daughter in law (who have stayed in many more rental houses than I have) said it was the best rental house that they have ever been in. Anyway, highly recommended!

Perfect Beach Getaway!
We rented this home for a week for my in-laws when they were visiting from out of state for our wedding. They absolutely loved the place, all the views, the spaces to relax, the kayaks, and especially the beachfront property that's perfect for beachcombing! Gorgeous home, clean and spacious, beautiful views, lots of extras provided by host (games, beach towels, life vests, toiletries, etc). Perfect stay!!!

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

Host profile image
I'm a Seattle native and grew up in the Magnolia area. Went to Queen Anne high school and the University of Washington. Married my college sweetheart 35 years ago and have 2 awesome kids. I love the outdoors, skiing, hiking, soccer and football. Also a proud owner of two adorable, precocious huskies.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I built this home in 2000. My extended family spent our holidays out here and I learned how to waterski in the warm waters of Von Geldren Cove. This is a special place and one I wanted to share with my children.

What makes this property unique

The Cape Cod style gives the home a casual elegance, yet beachy feel. We wanted it to eminate a Nantucket feel and style. The 100 feet of waterfront is perfect for boating, swimming, barbecuing or digging clams. The Von Geldren Cove is calm, warm and fun to swim across or waterski in. The fresh air calms your soul and allows you to sleep soundly surrounded by the singing birds and beautiful sunsets.
