Nice place and good location. There were some broken parts on doors andb hot tub, but nothing that detracted from the experience. I would recommend this house.

Glad to hear the place and its location worked well for you, and that the few broken bits on the doors and hot tub didn't get in the way of a good stay. Those have been passed along to our team so we can get them sorted. Thank you for the recommendation, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime.

Beautiful property with beach access. Plenty of room for large groups, and an absolutely stunning game room for players of all ages. GORGEOUS views of the water. Beach access is a plus, but be prepared to basically climb down a ladder to the sand. If you have mobility issues or small children, you'll probably want to skip the waterfront. Gracious and communicative hosts. Highly recommend!

What a lovely review — thank you! We're thrilled the home gave your group plenty of space to spread out, and the game room and water views are definitely two of the things guests tell us about most. Your note about the beach access stairs is a helpful one for future guests to know, and we appreciate you sharing it so honestly. Thank you for the kind words about our team, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again.

This is a lovely family home with all the necessary comforts in a stunning location. Beach access is for able bodied folks only, but once you get down there, it’s a very clean and private stretch of sand. The game room was a very big plus as well.

Had a great stay with successful fishing!!!

Stayed for a week with our family, we all had a great time. The house was in great shape and we were able to relax on the deck and enjoy some beach time as well. Sunsets were great and we were fortunate that Pink and Coho salmon were running during our time there. We ended up catching 23 total as a group just by shore casting. Would stay here again!

Great for a family gathering!

We had a great time here celebrating my Mom’s 80th birthday. Each of 3 generations enjoyed the house for various reasons. The games room was a huge hit with all of us, as was the relaxing home and view, plus the fully stocked kitchen and entertainment options. The surrounding nature beautiful in any weather, and lots to explore in the area.

Beautiful water views

The property manager was very kind and easy to deal with. They allowed for us to have early check-in and late checkout because it was not booked on either end of our stay which was very lovely. And the property was well-maintained and had clear directions. The beds were very firm but ended up being comfortable. The water views are delicious and the hot tub is delightful. It’s a nice layout for a group stay.

50th Wedding Anniversary with Family

Was easy to find, and was a great location. It was a little smaller then it looked in pictures online. We had plenty of room though. The game room was so much fun for all of us, it rained, but did not dampen our spirits. Lots of beach time and hot tub time. It was a wonderful weekend.

Beautiful NW vacation home!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was perfect for a large family, a few small families or a large friend group. It has everything you could want regardless of weather...a nice big deck, access to the beach, hot tub and game room. Door handle is tricky and you have to light the grill and fire pit by hand, but other than those quirks this was a great experience.

Insane view

Amazing time! The views were out of this world. Something to note is the game room with loft(queen bedroom and pullout) is very detached so we did not use it as much as we hoped. The stairs down to the beach are a bit sketchy- not great for older people. Hot tub was a bit on the green side/not the cleanest home we have stayed in. With all that being said, we would definitely stay here again just for the views. Close to lots of things to do as well-fort Casey, Clinton, blue fox drive in.

Gorgeous Spot

We really enjoyed our stay here. The view was gorgeous! The only thing that was a little bit inconvenient was there was no hot water in the apartment above the garage, but when we reached out to the manager they got someone out to work on it within a few hours and got it fixed right up! The responses back to us for any issues was very quick. The location was great, a 10 to 15 min ride to town. We all had a nice stay and the beds were very comfortable. Be careful walking down to the beach though because the stairs can get very slick, as we found out when my husband slipped and fell down. He was fine though! Thanks for the stay!

The house was large and accommodated our group of 6. I’m glad our trip ended up with less people as I could not imagine fitting 12 adults to sleep comfortably. The hot tub seemed like it hasn’t been drained and cleaned in a while, some of the outlets don’t work and there are oddly no ceiling lights in any of the bedrooms. Probably not an issue in the summer months but in Feb it made it seem quite dark. The kitchen was well stocked with any cookware we may have needed, the game room was fun (and frigid), our group loved the Disney movies in the guest house. The beds could use some new pillows and mattresses. All of the lights along the walking path to the main house from guest house were out and the walking path is a tripping hazard. Also the pullout sofa upstairs is broken so we were unable to use it as a bed. Overall it was a relaxing weekend away. We just all noticed some things that could use some maintenance and updating.

Reviewer Comments: A WONDERFUL house and view to spend two days planning and getting to know each other in a beautiful, relaxing setting that housed our whole crew. Everyone loved it, and it really felt like a RETREAT! On our last evening a pod of orcas went by, putting our Whale Sighting Network Staff into an excited flurry of action to share the whale report, so fun to see them in action! This was the perfect spot for us to gather and plan the future of our Nonprofit, and get to know each other better.

A wonderful place for a family gathering

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a wonderful place for an extended family (13) to gather over a family wedding weekend. It was an easy 20 minute drive to the wedding venue (Fireseed Catering), the view was gorgeous (looking across the water to the Olympics), it was quiet, and the layout was perfect for simultaneous card games at the dining room table, conversation and/or relaxing in the living area, and more of that on the deck. Beach walking and the game room entertained several of the crew, and a dip in the hot tub with the nearly full moon shining on the water was a great bonus. We would return to this place if an occasion came up, and we give it an enthusiastic recommendation.
