Waterfront home stay was incredible. It is an older home with alot of charm. We spent every evening by the fire pit enjoying the bay. The separate bunk house was perfect for the younger family members. I will definitely secure another stay soon!
This property is wonderful and everything the description says it is! We loved our stay here! The house is very quiet andhas everything you could need. Between floating in the bay , visiting Poulsbo and just relaxing as we sat on the deck looking at the water, we couldn't of asked for anything more for our anniversary celebration.
This was an absolute pleasure. The house sits right up against the water. We were lucky enough to see seals and otters playing right in front. We even had a bald eagle land on the deck railing. The house was very nice and cozy. The fireplace was wonderful and it has a fire pit just outside the deck that’s great for family gatherings. The views are even great from inside. I highly recommend this house.
We had a grandchild come in on the USS Ronald Reagan and wanted to spend a few days together as a family. This house was perfect for that. We love the deck and the view. It had everything we needed and was really comfortable. We are hoping to come back again soon. Thanks for a great stay. Brent Thorud.

Could be better
The view was great and the deck provided a nice place to relax and the atmosphere. However, the furnishings desperately needed cleaning and the place was extremely dark from the lack of lighting.

We were looking for a small, very comfortable house on the water in the area, and lucked into this beauty. The interior was furnished with everything a traveler needs, including a very supportive mattress, coffee and tea supplies, and a great remote controlled fireplace. The outdoor areas were even better-we spent hours on the deck facing Liberty Bay, watching birds, boats and the weather. Highly recommend!

Liberty Bay Beauty!
Another fabulous stay on Liberty Bay! An abundance of sunshine and outdoor activities. Kayaking, beach combing the low tides and wrapped the day enjoying a sky filled with stars around the campfire. Communication with property manager easy, available. Property is clean, comfortable and conveniently located yet very private. Experienced a peaceful week, look forward to our next visit.

We were in the area for our niece’s wedding on Bainbridge. The cabin is great, quiet and comfortable. Beach fascinating when tide goes out. Kitchen well stocked. Easy access to Poulsbo, Winslow. Enjoyed the extensive Bainbridge Island parks for wooded hiking trails.
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at this very nice home and we couldn't have been more impressed. The location is on the waterfront with beautiful views and an overall serene atmosphere that allowed us to completely unwind and relax. We definitely recommend this rental to anyone looking for a rejuvenating vacation.
Note: The backyard has a firepit and guests are required to supply their own firewood, so as a suggestion you may want to stop and buy some on the way here.
This was a very convenient and pretty place to stay. 15 min from Bainbridge island, easy commute to the ferry. Downtown Poulsbo is only a few minutes away and has some nice eateries. The house itself is a little older and slightly camplike but was comfortable and had every amenity you needed. You won't be lacking for anything. Bed was comfortable which is always very important to me. Lots of towels and plenty of dishes. Laying in bed and looking at the bay every morning was a treat. This was a winter visit so I'm sure it must be amazing in the summer.
We have stayed at this property 3 times. It is close to my mom who lives in Poulsbo. It has a very cabin like feel but it is also very comfortable. The master bedroom bed is very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. There are two bathrooms inside the main house. There is an out building with two queen beds just across from the main house which is heated. This has been a great space for our adult children to come stay with us. They can use the “luxury” honey pot out house or come inside for bathroom facilities. The deck and Puget sound views are fabulous! We will be back!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Misleading and too much money for what you get
Went to Poulsbo to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Property was clean...bed was comfy. But the "beach front "was a bit misleading. NO sand Just rocks. Big rocks at that. The tide was quite high and made getting into the water difficult and kind of scary. Do not call property a 2 bedroom. Since the 2nd bedroom was outside of the actual house in a shed. Unlike other VRBO's I must say I appreciated the cleanliness of this property. We left early and will probably stop renting VRBO. So Far Not much bang for your buck.

Hi Margaret, we're glad you enjoyed the comfy beds and cleanliness of the home! We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following: Our goal is to ensure that our guests have an exceptional stay with us and provide high standards of hospitality. We are sorry to hear that you did not have the five-star experience we endeavor to provide our guests.
- As the home is located alongside an inland saltwater area, the property experiences tidal changes every six hours. During high tide, the water can reach the bulkhead, while low tide reveals sandy stretches that can extend up to 150 yards from the shoreline.
- We aim for transparency and our listing and photos are accurately advertised. The listing photos reflect both the beach and the guesthouse. Additionally, the second bedroom's description clearly states that it's separate from the main house and is not a shed but rather a guesthouse.
We truly do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

Great house and location but poor communication
Title says it all. The house and location were great but we were given the wrong access code. It was cold and dark and late at night when we arrived. The code we were given didn’t work. A backup code we were given didn’t work. Telephone numbers provided for assistance weren’t very helpful. I talked to multiple people including one person who complained I was being short with them. This while I was standing outside a strange house, in complete darkness, while it was very cold and getting absolutely no assistance. After many calls we finally did obtain the correct code. It probably took 30 mins. When we finally obtained the key the stay was fine.

Great waterfront location
While this rustic cabin is a bit quirky in its layout, the waterfront location is wonderful. This was a great home base for exploring the area. The cabin is clean, warm and comfortable, with everything we needed in the kitchen. We enjoyed a warm afternoon on the patio, watching boats go by. It was also very interesting to be across the bay from Keyport naval base and hear the daily music (Star Bangled Banner and Taps) and the loudspeaker announcements about naval exercises. We would definitely recommend staying at this cabin.
Cute little cabin. Super clean and cozy. Waterfront location was as peaceful as can be. Lots of wildlife and no stress. We will definitely find our way back there soon.
Our family came over for a long weekend to spend time with our family that live on this side of the state. From the moment we walked in, we knew we had gotten a special place! The view from every room is spectacular!
This is a well equipped cabin. The owners have included many extras, which were much appreciated. We loved sitting around the outdoor fire pit & looking out at the water each night.
This property will be one we definitely return to
