Amazing few days

The photos really don’t do this place justice. You are literally 30 seconds from the back door to a stunning beach that was, at least during our stay, largely empty. Had a minor miscommunication re: pre-check in cleaning, but the host and cleaner were quick to mitigate. Would absolutely stay here again — just need to find an opening.

Breathtaking and serene

A perfect getaway on a sleepy street.The property is a short walk to the beach through the backyard. Windwarped trees offer a unique perspective and shelter from the rain. The beach is sandy in some spots, rocky in others with interesting driftwood littered about.The home has everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will definitely return.

This tucked away hideaway was amazing! Every morning our family would stroll the beach steps from the house. Charming outdoor space at the house and the owner was super helpful! Close to enjoy crab fest but far enough to enjoy the peace.

Comfortable spacious home on a beautiful beach

Perfect stay in a large, clean, well-equipped home tucked away in a quiet seaside neighborhood. Right on a fantastic beach where you could walk easily in both directions as well as enjoy the sounds of the waves and the views of Canada across the strait. Short drive into town. Great access to Olympic National Park including Crescent Lake and Hurricane Ridge. Would definitely stay again.

Great location to enjoy sunsets. The home was comfortable and clean and conveniently located near the entrance to Olympic National Park. We especially enjoyed exploring the beach and hiking Hurricane Ridge, Sol Duc, and Marymere trails and kayaking on Crescent Lake. Recommend getting the clam appetizer at the Crescent Lake Lodge.
