 "This home was amazing!!! Beautiful views, comfortable rooms, and just an overall gorgeous home. We all had fun using the kayaks and row boat that were provided and the kids had fun swimming out to the dock. My only complaint is that we didn’t book more days!" - susie p., 09/17/2019 (VRBO Review)
"We expected the property to be nice but it exceeded our expectations. This home is beautiful, well-appointed and in a great location. We had perfect weather but even if it hadn’t been we still would’ve loved it. The giant selection of books and the games were a huge bonus - we haven’t played so many games as a family in years! Mornings were beautiful as were the sunsets and the sky was full of stars at night - and having three decks from which to see it all was great. A HUGE thank you to the owners for sharing your home - it was the perfect getaway for us during a crazy summer. P.S. Communication with property management was also very smooth. 👍�🏼�" - Lynda M., 07/26/2019 (VRBO Review)
"Our family had an amazing time staying at The Beach House on Hoods Canal. Property Manager, Debra, was very easy to work with. The only improvement for our family would be more t.v.'s in the house, There was only one small tv in the main living room with few channels to access. The beach was beautiful." - Carol K., 06/14/2019 (VRBO Review)
"The water and mountain views are Incredible! Perfect location! The home is clean, well stocked and nicely decorated. The property manager was wonderful to work with and very responsive to our questions. We really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to visit again!" - Bob H., 04/05/2019 (VRBO Review)
"Great views, oysters, clams and amazing kitchen! We will be back." - Andrew G., 03/31/2019 (VRBO Review)
 "We fell in love the moment we walked in the doors. It immediately felt like home. Every piece of the House was built with care, the kitchen and bathtub you will fall in love with! The picture windows along the waterfront side of the home were perfect to fall asleep in the sun, or just watch the ocean and relax. It was equipped with everything we needed- even wetsuits to enjoy and kayaks. Our kids had fun just throwing shells into the ocean and exploring. We have already recommended this peaceful retreat to all of our friends!" - Heather S., 03/07/2019 (VRBO Review)
"We just stayed at the Beach House 1/18-1/20/19 for a Ladies weekend away with 5 girlfriends. All 5 ladies loved the décor, organization, and style of this water front home. Guest cottage was quite a bonus! The views are insane from just about every room of the house and so relaxing to wake up to. Once we arrived Friday, we didn't leave all weekend as the house had everything we needed. The decks outside are so inviting even with drizzles during our weekend stay. All 5 ladies said they would come back and rent the Beach House again. I cannot recommend this Beach House highly enough. Thank you for sharing this PNW GEM with us, we had a perfect weekend!" - SISCILY E., Seattle, 01/23/2019 (VRBO Review)
"My family loved our stay here! This house is beautiful. The kitchen was stocked for any cooking needs. My husband and kids had a blast in the rowboat. My daughter played for hours on the beach throwing rocks into the water. Debra answered all our questions prior to our stay. We would love to stay again." - Sarah S., 11/29/2018 (VRBO Review)
"Even better than pictured. My whole family loved staying here. It is beautiful and relaxing." - Laura L., 11/06/2018 (VRBO Review)
"Glorious views and lovely home, will be a place I hope to return to!! Thank you so much!!!!" - Anonymous, 10/22/2018 (VRBO Review)
 "This rental is fully stocked with everything you could possibly imagine. From beach and water toys to spices and seasonings. My family took advantage of the kayaks and rowboat to explore on the water and do some crabbing. We easily caught 33 crabs, but it was late in the season so they were too small to keep. Oysters are plentiful, but did not find any clams. Maybe we didn't dig deep enough? The kitchen is a dream kitchen with 2 sinks, 1 full fridge and a mini-fridge, oven warmer, gas range, huge island, etc. The 4 of us had plenty of space to prep, cook/bake and wash the dishes. The best surprise is the separate MIL with its private deck on the ground floor. My elderly parents didn't have to climb any stairs and they got their privacy. One setback is the main living area can get very hot from the sun between 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM in the summer. Suggestion is to add curtains or shades to the windows would cool down the room. Our friend is already interested in checking out this rental after viewing our pics on FB. Thank you for not allowing pets!" - Ana L., 09/10/2018 (VRBO Review)
"Thoughtfully designed beach vacation house. Great attention to detail. Plenty of room for the kids to play. A chef’s kitchen with all of the amenities. Access to the beach was incredible- just steps away. We will definitely be back! Thank you!" - Elizabeth U., 09/05/2018 (VRBO Review)
"The house is beautiful and we enjoyed using the kayaks and eating oysters!" - Arnette K., 08/27/2018 (VRBO Review)
"We had a lovely weekend trip to Hood Canal. Debra was very responsive and responded quickly to any questions. The house is a little remote, so just keep that in mind. The house comes with row boats, inflatable tubes, swim float deck, crab pots, life vests, and kayaks - these were a hit with the kids. There were also so many books! My husband actually sat down, relaxed, and read an entire book during the trip (I don’t think he has read a fiction book in 10 years). There were oysters in the backyard and clams at Belfair State Park (~15 min away). The kitchen has EVERYTHING you might need including a warming tray, s’mores sticks, and even a cherry pitter. My only con would be the lack of air conditioning, but I don’t think many homes on Hood Canal has air conditioning. It came with multiple fans." - June K., 08/12/2018 (VRBO Review)
"Our family had a fantastic time at the Beach House on Hood Canal. The house is absolutely beautiful- even better than the photos. The views are spectacular. The master suite is luxurious and we loved the decor throughout the house. To say the house is well appointed is an understatement. The house truly has everything you need for your stay. Our family had plenty to do and we were sad to leave. We enjoyed the kayaks provided and brought paddle boards. It was a hot weekend so we spent a lot of time in and on the water. The water was calm and perfect for all ages to paddle around. We loved nights gazing at stars on the deck. Alderbrook resort is nearby for a nice meal out. There were so many oysters and other shellfish right out in front of the house! Note- the queen suite is separated from the house with it's own door. It shares a roof with the main house. It worked out well for us as we were traveling with teens so they had their own space. Overall a wonderful stay and we can't wait to go back." - Sarah S., 08/04/2018 (VRBO Review)
 "Our family enjoyed our stay due to the beauty of the home and setting. We wanted for nothing. The kitchen is amazing and the owner has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable....again, particularly in the kitchen. The kayaks and rowboats were great fun! The neighbors were very friendly and a good time was had by all. Just watch out for those oyster shells...ouch!!" - Anne H., Bellevue, WA, 07/31/2018 (VRBO Review)
"We had a great time on are Hood Canal vacation. The house is very nice and clean. The mother in law unit was a nice feature. The only negative I have is that someone left garbage in the trash compactor and the house had a very bad smell. We opened the windows for a few hours then it was fine. I would definitely say there again." - Jason S., 07/04/2018 (VRBO Review) We are so sorry about the trash in the compactor. We have addressed this with housekeeping and it will not happen again. Thank you!
"We had a wonderful long weekend at this Beach House. The kitchen is fabulous, the rooms are comfortable, the kayaks were so fun (and there were life jackets, even for kids) and the views were spectacular. The only complaint we had was the lack of a large indoor dining table (which didn't affect us much because we ate outside)!" - Danae N., 06/13/2018 (VRBO Review)
"We enjoyed our time here! It was such a beautiful setting and the kitchen was perfect for cooking for everyone. We are already planning a return trip!" - Emily Brooke M., 06/12/2018 (VRBO Review)
"We had a wonderful time at this home. The views from each view are amazing, the kitchen is well appointed and there are even kayaks and plenty of other beach toys to enhance your stay. I would definitely return to this property." - Joanne W., 06/06/2018 (VRBO Review)
 "We had a relaxing mellow girls hang out weekend The house is stunning with the best equipped kitchen, comfy beds, and views to die for. The only reasons I wouldn't give 5 stars is that there isn't a great place to eat if the weather's not conducive to eating outside. The patio is huge and has chairs and tables. But there isn't a place to gather for a meal. That is the only negative. It's a truly lovely, beautifully decorated home with everything you could need. We loved it" - Alison T., 11/06/2017 (VRBO Review)
"This was a beautiful home and great location, My family thoroughly enjoyed the great view and easy water access. This property will be the first one we look at for availability on our next trip to Seattle. Lloyd and Dixie Andrews" - Lloyd A., 08/03/2017 (VRBO Review)
"My family gathered at the cottage for a wonderful week of relaxation. The views are spectacular. The house is very nice and clean. Would stay again." - Robyn W., 07/18/2017 (VRBO Review)
"What a gorgeous property with a gorgeous view! We had the pleasure of spending a May weekend at the house and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was incredibly clean and just as nice as the photos represent. You are right on the water, and the outlook across Hood Canal, and onward to the Olympics, is breathtaking. Debra was a delight to work with during the booking process, and made everything seamless and easy. Highly recommended!!" - A guest from Seattle, WA, Seattle, WA, 06/08/2017 (VRBO Review)
"This was the perfect getaway for our girls weekend. The house is beautifully decorated, the kitchen well appointed, and the views from the multiple decks breathtaking. Peace and quiet with nice walking beach when the tide goes out." - Michele D., Bainbridge Island, 05/17/2017 (VRBO Review)

"Wonderful home!" - Anne D., 04/28/2017 (VRBO Review)
"This place was beautiful. High end items almost everywhere in the house. The kitchen is a dream and well equipped with anything you might need. The master bedroom is amazing and the bed was so comfy. The mother in law suite was a bonus. We had 5 ladies that needed a weekend away and this was perfect. Debra was great to work with and answered any questions. My only small complaint was not being able to shower, run the dishwasher and washing machine, but it was easily worked around and I'm sure that is a septic thing with being right on the water. Oh yeah, and the views!!! You are right on the water! Simply perfect! We will be back!" - Anonymous, Port Orchard, 03/12/2017 (VRBO Review) So glad another guest had a wonderful stay! Just wanted to make sure anyone reading this review understands that you can shower, run the dishwasher, and do laundry, just not all at the same time (house is on septic system). Thanks! Debra, Picture Properties
"We loved our stay at this beautiful property. It was a perfect getaway spot, tranquil and quiet in a beautifully furnished house. The only minor thing was the neighbor guy who came out to check on you every time we were out. A little annoying but understood as it was his residence. Debra is awesome to work with and quick in response. Loved the house and loved the process. We will definitely come back." - Hana P., 03/11/2017 (VRBO Review) So glad another guest had a great time. I'm not sure which neighbor they are talking about, as we have not heard this mentioned before, but we definitely have nice, friendly neighbors there! Let us know if you have any questions! Debra, Picture Properties
"Our party of four was extremely comfortable at the beach house with the separate room perfect for my mother-in-law (and her snoring). The kitchen was large and well equipped for the full on thanksgiving dinner we enjoyed. We loved the expansive views from every room and had the unexpected pleasure of fireworks from Alderwood Resort one evening. Seals were seen lounging on the float in front of the house and bird watching was excellent. The upstairs master had its own fireplace which made for a nice romantic getaway during our getaway. We will definitely want to visit again." - Lawrence C., Bainbridge Island, WA, 12/12/2016 (VRBO Review)
 "We go to the Canal frequently when we need quiet time to regenerate. Our stay at the Beach House was very enjoyable. The house is roomy and comfortable, the view is beautiful and the property management is readily available and friendly. While there was just the two of us, the house can easily accommodate a large family of 6 or 8 people. This was our 2nd stay at the Beach House and we will certainly will return. Dick & Donna.... Kirkland" - Dick & Donna N., Kirkland, WA, 11/16/2016 (VRBO Review)
"So nice and relaxing. I have three kids under 12 and they loved playing in the house, collecting oysters, riding in the rowboat and kayaks. My 12 year old and I kayaked over to Alderbrook one afternoon and had a snack. Kitchen was amazing, made some great meals. Beds were awesome, some of the best sleep wee have had in years. Easy to get to and just a great place. My father-in-law stayed in the room attached. it was so nice for him to have some space that he felt was his own and he could come to the main house since it was literally 8 steps away on the deck." - James G., 09/06/2016 (VRBO Review)
"Overall the property was amazing that our family's needs accommodated Us in every way" - al w., Land o Lakes, 07/20/2016 (VRBO Review)
"This property is amazing. We traveled with another family for a long weekend. The mother-in-law suite separate from the house is amazing! The bunk room was perfect for the kids. The master bathroom is great. The locations and views are totally breath taking! Couple things to note - the bunk room does not have curtains. They've done this super cute thing with bed skirts on the top bunk so the bottom bunks are like little forts, but if you have more thank two kids - going to bed early would be hard as its so light in there. There is also only one bathroom upstairs and its in the master so the kids are in and out of there using the potty. Not a huge issue, but if you have two families and all the kids are in the bunk room, could get a bit strange for the kids to go in and out of the master to use the bathroom. We'd 100% stay here again, we had such a wonderful time." - Elizabeth J. F., Ridgefield, 06/24/2016 (VRBO Review) So glad this guest enjoyed the Beach House on Hood Canal. It's true that the only bathroom upstairs (where the master and the bunk room are) is the master bathroom. There is a powder room downstairs guests can use so they don't have to enter the master while people are sleeping. We have noted it on our listing. Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!

"This rental was a surprise for my husband's 50th birthday. The directions to the home were spot on. I had great communication with the Debra (rental agent) from the get go.

"Always have loved Hood's Canal. The previous house we rented sold so we needed to look for another place. T On line, this house almost looked too good to be true. It's ideal for up to two adult couples plus the versatile bunkroom with two sets of bunkbeds. A very cool, high-end home with great appointments. Wonderful style and taste." - Jim F., 03/23/2016 (VRBO Review)
"The house is great and we had a perfect family mothers day stay. There are lots of homes on Hood Canal that have loud busy roads near them to disrupt the tranquility, this is NOT one of them. Stunning views and a great layout. Loved the deck. It is VERY far from grocery stores so pack ahead of time! The furniture on the patio is eaten up by the weather (rickety wood, chipped paint and lots of splinters) and none of the screen doors work but, I talked to management and they said there were going to be some things fixed soon. My husband actually fixed the trash compactor door LOL. Bring an eye mask if you don't like bright light in the AM, the master has NO window treatments." - Melissa P., Battle Ground, WA, 03/02/2016 (VRBO Review) The deck furniture has since been replaced with new furniture (May 2016). This house is on the north shore of Hood Canal, 12 miles from Belfair, so it's about a 20 minute drive to either Safeway or QFC grocery stores.
 "The house is gorgeous and modern, especially the kitchen and cabin. It is very well furnished, like kitchen utensils and towels." - Julie L., 11/14/2015 (VRBO Review)
"This was one of the nicest homes we have every stayed in. My mom and sister's and I wanted a quite get away without kids and husbands and the ability to relax, enjoy the views and hike. This was a beautiful clean home with everything we could possibly need. The booking process was easy and prompt. We loved the secluded location. It felt like we were in a boat when the tide was up." - Molly A., 10/29/2015 (VRBO Review)
"This beautiful home was perfect for our family getaway! We enjoyed the views, sunsets and visits from the resident seals. Kayaking up the Tahuya River was awesome too. The decor is nice, especially in the bedrooms; the master bathroom is gorgeous; and the kitchen has absolutely everything you need. The space is warm, inviting and very comfortable. This property is the cleanest and best maintained place we've ever stayed at...so much so that I felt comfortable skipping my usual habit of wiping everything down before we start the fun! Kudos to the property management and cleaning service -- top notch! Debra from Picture Properties responded to questions and requests quickly and provided excellent service. We enthusiastically recommend this wonderful house!" - Michele S., 10/05/2015 (VRBO Review)
"This fantastic house was perfect for our big family. We were impressed with cleanliness, accommodations and amenities as advertised. This house had it all for a family ranging from 2 years old to teenagers. Thanks for the memories Picture Perfect!" - Nathan B., 08/20/2015 (VRBO Review)
"The house exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed the well appointed kitchen, the decor, the layout & the views! We had no reason to leave the property. Everything we were looking for was on site. We kayaked, used the row boat & swam to the dock to layout. Our family of 5 included our 4 & 5 year olds who enjoyed the bunk room & our 21 year old who appreciated her own separate space. It worked out perfectly! We were also very impressed with the book collection & each of us (adults) enjoyed reading a book from the collection! One thing to note, the only bathroom upstairs is in the master suite, so those in the bunk room need to share. Not an issue for us as our girls are so small, but may be an issue with older teens perhaps. We can't wait to go back!" - Amy W., 08/13/2015 (VRBO Review)
 "This was our second time at this rental, and we can't wait to come back! It is beautiful, clean, and luxuriously appointed. The kitchen is huge, with more than enough pantry and fridge space. The bunk room is perfect for the kids (but pretty enough for grow ups, with its own deck), and my parents visited and loved the adorable second master suite. There are kayaks and a rowboat, wetsuits and life jackets...everything needed for adventures on the canal. Debra at Picture Properties was responsive and easy to work with." - Michelle P., 07/31/2015 (VRBO Review)

"Our family of four (two adults, two kiddos under 5) stayed for a 4-day weekend in January. The house was lovely. Notes: - If you have a young kiddo who needs all dark, the walk-in close in the master is perfect - you could just put a pack and play or mat in there and be set). - The rest of the house has minimal (almost no) window coverings so a few years ago that would've been hard for us with two kids napping. However, the \" - A guest from Bellevue, WA, Bellevue, WA, 01/25/2015 (VRBO Review)
"My family of 4 stayed at this house for a 4 day weekend in November. We where blessed with gorgeous weather and able to enjoy the beach every day! The house itself was perfect. We have a 2 year old who needs a totally dark room to sleep in so we put him in the walk in closet in his pack n play and he loved it. Our older child loved the bunk beds, I think he slept in a different one every night. The views are fabulous! Your right on the water. The house was stocked with everything you could think of and it's all high end. We had my parents stay a night in the seperate bedroom with it own enterance and it was perfect for them. Their own 3/4 bath, washer/dryer and deck! We can't wait to go back!" - Amy C., 11/25/2014 (VRBO Review)
 "Nice house, relaxing environment. I would go again" - Tran H., vancouver, 09/22/2014 (VRBO Review)
"Wow, wow and wow! Location, location and location. This house is perfectly situated on the Hood Canal to capture incredible sunsets, catching Dungeoness Crabs, Oysters galore and catching Coho Salmon. The best part of the house was how professionally furnished the home...think pottery barn house! Nothing but the best appliances, silverware, and furniture...its the little details that caught my eye, especially being a creative art director for 25 years..that's saying a lot about this house. It had everything you can possibly imagine for cooking, and outdoor adventure. My only criticism which is very minor, is that one of the oarlocks broke on the 1st day of our stay...which left us with paddling the row boat like a canoe for the rest of the trip and also there was only 1 operational kayak. A pontoon boat or a motor on the row boat would go a long way in making this place a unbeatable vacation destination!! One last note, the neighbors here were so friendly, one of them brought over some smoked salmon that they freshly caught a few days ago...amazing!!!" - Jack M., Aliso Viejo, 08/30/2014 (VRBO Review)

Please note, the septic isn't too small, it's just pumped up the hill away from the water, so it can be a little slow. It's no problem at all to take a shower and leave the water running, this guest just wanted to be cautious. We do advise not to take a shower, run the dishwasher and do laundry at same time, or one right after the other. Let us know if you have any questions!

 "We felt spoiled in this decorator house! Everything is Pottery Barn and beautifully done, with a gourmet kitchen. When I saw the pictures, the kitchen was what was the main attraction, and it was better than I expected! The floor plan was perfect for us. We could meet in the gorgeous kitchen with awesome views, play games, enjoy the warm fireplace and the huge deck during the day. At night each couple could go to their own room and have lots of privacy. The Master bedroom is upstairs, yet the queen bedroom and bathroom is like a separate cottage. That was a very nice surprise! I've been to some homes on the Hood Canal but this one had the best view of the Olympic range I've seen! The windows were huge and sparkling clean. We thoroughly relaxed and enjoyed it. Everything was provided, from tp and soap/shampoo to s'mores fixings and charcoal. Loved loved loved. I hope we can go again and make it a family tradition!" - Julie S., Silverdale, WA, 06/24/2014 (VRBO Review)

"Our stay was fantastic! The house was clean, fully stocked and more than we expected. The owners are very helpful and promptly responded to all of my emails when booking our stay. We stayed two nights, the first night with my husband and kids and the second we had a girls only night. The kids enjoyed going out in the little boat and beach combing. the girls appreciated the fully stocked kitchen for our nice dinner and undwinding by the fireplace. We will be returning for sure!" - tori w., 04/03/2014 (VRBO Review)
"This house was perfect for three couples and two kids. The house is actually better than it looks in the pictures. When the tide is up, the deck juts out over the water...doesn't get much closer than that! We took the kayak and rowboat out too, with plenty of life jackets. Well-stocked kitchen. Really, the only downside (and this is minor) is that hot water is in limited supply, so you'll need to space out the showers. I would highly recommend this house!" - Anonymous, Seattle, WA, 03/01/2014 (VRBO Review)
"This was a perfect little family getaway, just an hour and a half away from home. We loved being on the Hood Canal, right on the beach in this beautiful home. The home is immaculately kept with personal little touches that make you feel right at home. The views are fantastic in every room. The bedrooms are very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen is perfect and has everything you need. For those going crabbing, you'll have to bring your own crab pots and gear. However, there is a large pot to cook your crab. We weren't successful at getting any clams on the beach, but I imagine during the right season and right tides, there are clams galore. We'd love to come back next year, maybe in spring or summer when there is more daylight. Overall, a wonderful weekend at the beach house!" - Lindsay C., 11/29/2013 (VRBO Review)
 "House and beach setting are remarkable. There are breathtaking views from practically every room in the house. The kitchen is very spacious and and every utensil is at your disposal. The number of things to do is extensive. Clamming, crabbing, kayaking, fishing, swimming (in season) walking on the beach and sightseeing are a few of the activities available. We spent many hours just watching the birds and the seals from the large deck off the house. The house is very clean and well maintained. The manager Debra was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions or inquiries we had. We highly recommend this home." - Jeff L., 11/22/2013 (VRBO Review)

"What a lovely stay at the Hood Canal, the weather couldn't have been lovelier, and the amazing home could not have been more perfect for our annual family get together! From the momemt we arrive we felt embraced by the home and the gorgeous waterfront, from the amazing deck views for dining and relaxing, to the perfectly thought out accomodations, which felt like they were right out of Home & Garden magazine. The kitchen and pantry had everything we needed for a week of gourmet cooking and enjoying of the clams, mussels, oysters and crabs harvested right off the steps of the deck - truely a delight. There were things for everyone to do, from kyaking the local area, to reading all the magazines, and just relaxing with a glass of wine enjoing the sunset, it was a trip to remember. We look forward to staying here again in the future!" - Kelly M., 08/22/2013 (VRBO Review)

The decor was beautiful, the kitchen fully stocked, the beds incredibly comfortable, and the views spectacular! My dad brought his boat and launched it from a nearby marina. The host, Teresa, was warm and helpful every step of the way. We called her the day of check in with a few questions and she answered immediately. Seriously the best rental experience our family has ever had. We plan to go back next summer." - Marie, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, 09/19/2012 (VRBO Review)
"We rented the “cabin” for a week. This – let’s just go ahead and call it a – house is very impressive in its finishing, decoration and accompaniments. To say the owner went out of her way to anticipate visitor needs is an understatement. We have stayed in many rentals (mainly in Hawaii) and have never had the accessories to cook to any level desired, had supplies to keep us from heading out to the store for those forgotten items, or been supplied with entertainment options to keep us active as each day unfolded. The beds were like lying down on a cloud and, with the sound of the waves lapping on the beach, sleep came immediately and soundly. Morning coffee on the balcony kept our eyes searching for seals, eagles and even a pod of porpoises (we believe that was what they were). It was amazing that we were easily able to put together appetizers including crab and oysters collected from just in front of the house. Respect for owner and community should be anyone’s commitment when renting this unit. Specifically, any smoking should be done outdoors (with butts picked up and disposed of properly), knowing and abiding by the local rules for fishing, crabbing and gathering oysters must be honored, etc. Guess I went off on a tangent there . . . We are golf enthusiasts and there are numerous options available from 30 minutes to 1 hour away. We highly recommend Gold Mountain’s Olympic Course, Alderbrook’s Course across the canal and Trophy Lake. If you’re looking for an outstanding and relaxing vacation adventure, you will not go wrong choosing this location. We are sure its quality will lead you to recommend it to your own friends and family." - Douglas S., Las Vegas, NV, 07/20/2012 (VRBO Review)
 "We have rented many homes through VRBO and this is the best yet! Every detail was thought of. The house was perfectly clean (a major plus for us) and fully stocked. The beach is down a few steps from the huge deck. The king sized bed is like a cloud and the bathroom is beautiful. The entire house is beautiful! I didn't even want to come home! I can't say enough about this rental. We will be back for sure. Thank you." - Jonathon G., Lake Forest Park, 05/23/2012 (VRBO Review)
"For my mother’s 72nd birthday we planned to have a family reunion in Honolulu, Hawaii. For some reason we ended up in this house instead, but it has brought out much more happiness and relaxation than what we expected! We had brothers, sisters, sister in-laws, friends, and children who all came from either Seattle or Olympia. This house amazingly could hold us all! The house itself was extremely clean and the location was quiet with few cars passing by. The fully high-end equipped kitchen made it possible to eat a proper breakfast, lunch, and dinner and cook anything whenever necessary. The oysters, that were just a step down to the beach, were very fresh and clean. As well as all of the boats, kayaks, and scuba diving gear. The owner is very, very nice and will reply to all questions you have in just a matter of minutes. We recommend this house to everyone no matter the occasion!" - Vu C., Olympia, WA, 05/16/2012 (VRBO Review)
