The home was beautiful. The owners provided every possible comfort for their guests. It was beyond our expectations. Views were amazing. Communication with the host was exceptional. Our group can’t say enough positive things about the home and the host. We would definitely stay here again.
I can't say enough good things about this property and its hosts. This wonderfully well crafted home is in an incredibly beautiful location, surrounded by nature and wildlife with ships passing in the distance. The hosts have anticipated your every need and provided a quality solution close at hand. If you enjoy cooking, you will be spoiled by the high-end appliances and cookware. You don't usually see this quality of construction, home goods, and privacy in a rental. If you need more than four bedrooms, there is another cottage available next door - ask the hosts when booking. Our group of 9 was very comfortable, though we did use the pull-out sofa in the living room. Very close to town while feeling like you are staying in a nature preserve. We felt like honored guests and everyone in our group enjoyed their stay.
Heron House Illawaco My wife and I have been staying in VRBO’s in Europe and the United States for many years. We have never stayed in a more stunning property both for the beauty of our the house and the scenic views. This trip was for a niece’s wedding and there were 9 occupants. -House is beautiful and has plenty of space for our entire group of nine people. -Layout of the house allowed for buffet privacy zones and the ability for 9 people to gather. -The deck was lovely to sit and have coffee and watch the wildlife. -It was close to Cape Disappointment and we had a good time there as well. -I have never had better communication with a host. Kathryn and Eddie were responsive, helpful and accommodating. -We accidentally left an item behind and the host was able to locate it and ship it to us. They were very responsive. His was a perfect stay!!!!!!
