Staying at Kathy's cottage was so wonderful the whole cottage was unbelievably perfect! My husband and I rented it so that our kids and grandkids could come and spend the time with us! I loved the boho bungalow Gypsy feel of the whole place and it was so well equipped. We definitely would love to come back maybe for a Christmas gathering.

Highlights were the superb deck overlooking the very south (hook end) of Hood Canal. The 12-14 foot tide changes were dramatic and brought out spectacular wildlife -- bald eagles, caspian terns all diving for fish; herons; incredible array of seals. Olympic mountains in the background and wonderful sunsets. Nearby Alderbrook golf course a great treat for the golfers.Commercial oysters at Taylor farms in nearby Shelton is the safest and tasties way to go. Really cute, quaint, family friendly place -- feels like your old family home. House and decking and furniture and beds, etc. all in great shape. Plenty of supplies in kitchen -- unlike many VRBO places. Well done.

Round two for us.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here, it is a perfect fit for our family. The deck is my favorite place to be, sitting and watching the tide change, the Eagles and seals.

We stayed at the cottage for five nights. Really enjoyed the proximity to the canal and the beautiful views. Also, enjoyed watching the seals on a daily basis. Even watched one catch and eat a large fish, with seagulls watching for leftovers. The host was most gracious and easy to reach when we needed to. The only down side was the fire above Cushman Lake that sometimes impacted our views and activities we wanted to engage in.

So much to see and enjoy!

Ever-changing views of the water and mountains were spectacular! Saw a bald eagle try to steal a fresh-caught fish from an osprey in mid-flight. Seals and otters were seen swimming and sunning themselves everyday. The house was welcoming in every way, as was the owner. Great for all ages!

Perfect for Girls' Weekend

Excellent spot for a girls' weekend. There was plenty of space to chill and relax. Lots of beds and plenty of parking -- the whole crew came along! My favorite part (besides the view) was the big dining room and open kitchen: a little cooking, a little wine, and lots of chatting. Bonus: The pantry was stocked with ingredients to best my foodie kitchen! The view was amazing. Highly recommend!

Host was very helpful and communicative!Responses were almost immediate!Well equipped kitchen, bathrooms, and beds downstairs (didn’t need to use upstairs) were exceptionally comfortable!Loved using the old fashioned (original) microwave. Nostalgic oven, just like my mom had. Be gentle with the oven door, should be held until fully open, very springy?Stove was amazing-much more advanced than I’ve ever used.THE BEST PART: the wildlife! Host was NOT kidding!Bald Eagles!! One even stood at the waters edge at morning low tide, just below the deck!So many seals, loons, ducks, egrets, hawks, gulls.Sunsets were gorgeous, & the scenery!I hadn’t read the instructions well enough, we didn’t take either type of fuel, so we didn’t get to BBQ. But that led to sampling the cafes- so good!

Gorgeous house, welcoming, flexible owner

This was by far the best rental experience we’ve ever had. Beyond being an amazing house with gorgeous views, the personal touches throughout the home— the homey smell, cute and helpful notes, well stocked kitchen— and the kind and helpful interactions with the owner, made the experience feel like a real vacation. I polled my family and they said it was: welcoming, cozy, comfortable, and charming. We never felt like we were walking on egg shells. And the views. Sunrise, sunset, seals, eagles, planets, stars. A full Sound, sometimes a vanished Sound. There is so much to see in the area, but we could’ve stayed on the deck every minute. We will definitely come back!

Gorgeous spot for relaxing!

My husband and I came to Pointe Marian with our parents and our puppies for a little mini-vacation. We spend the days captivated by the mountain/water view, playing with our puppies in the water, cooking delicious food, watching some classic film noir, talking with each other, drinking wine, and taking lots of naps. It was totally rejuvenating. We felt like we were thousands of miles from our stressful jobs and spent much more time watching seagulls break open clams on the rocks below the house than we spent thinking about work. We highly recommend this place for a getaway--especially if you have a pooch you want to have with you on your vacation. Also, if you're more ambitious than we were, this would be a great base for some hiking day trips in the Olympic mountains. We may actually tear ourselves away from the house to do this ourselves next time we visit. We'll definitely be back!

Problem with owner

This property is in a very scenic location and has a lovely deck. It is an older and quite small house. The owners have done a very good job decorating it and the house is well stocked with kitchen essentials and goodies. The house itself is quite comfortable, but will not, in my opinion, accommodate more than 4 or 5 people because of the small size. I would have given this property more stars but for the fact that it is situated in very closed proximity (just accross a gravel driveway) to two other cabins and there is little privacy when the neighboring cabins are occupied. There is also no place to hike or walk from the property itself. I also had a dispute with the owner over the deduction of a cleaning fee which was supposed to have been included in the nightly rental amount.
Response from VrboOwner on 2 April 2020
Dear Ray, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We're so glad you found the cottage to be so well appointed and comfortable and enjoyed the decks and beautiful the view. It's true that Pointe Marian is a comfortable, cozy cottage. With two bedrooms downstairs, an attic bedroom that can accommodate an entire family and a very comfy hide-a-bed, we find it sleeps up to 10 family members or friends quite easily. It's also true that, like most highly sought after waterfront properties, we do have other homes nearby. We have been SO fortunate to have such wonderful and welcoming neighbors. From aiding in emergency boat repair to giving a pint-size guest his first fishing lesson, you couldn't ask for nicer folks. As for walks and hikes- we are an easy 1 mile stroll to 'downtown' Union. There you'll find a funky antique store, a great Mexican restaurant, the marina for renting kayaks, a boat launch and the famous Union Country Store for your ice cream fix. While it's true that you can't step out the door onto a hiking trail, here are trails for all fitness levels at Twanoh, Alderbrook and Lake Cushman, all within a short driving distance. We're also at the entrance to the Olympic National Park, one of America's largest old growth forests. Thank you, again, for taking time to give us your feedback. All the best to you and yours, The Pointe Marian Family
