Shelton, Washington
If you're looking for a relaxing beach getaway on the Puget Sound this is it! Enjoy the views the ever changing tides bring, observe wildlife in its natural habitat, and practice your sea bird identification! Located about 15 minutes away from Shelton, this is an ideal place to retreat and get away from the business of every day life.
We area crew of 52 ish friends who grew up together in Olympia. Once a year we escape somewhere fun to silly and catch up. Your property was perfect for our gathering. A lot of laughs were had in the bunk room with an foose ball tournament and Karaoke dance party. Cheers!
Our stay at the Hammersley Bay Inlet Beach House was really wonderful. The house is even larger than it looks in pictures, especially the main living area. It was well-equipped and thoughtfully maintained. We loved the hot tub, the games upstairs, and the gorgeous views. We were here for a wildly hot stretch of weather (90s+) and the downstairs stayed cool and reasonable. The a/c in the upstairs unit was key, and it would be great to have one in the second upstairs bedroom too at some point, but this type of heat is really uncommon. We were on the water all the time on our paddleboard, kayak, and the house-provided canoe. The tides do come way in and way out, which is helpful to know as it is hard to get to the water when the tide is out. Lots of critters to look at, resident seals around every day, kingfishers, ospreys, eagle, and a heron that appeared every low tide. Can't recommend it enough!
Nice, spaciousness waterfront house. The ourdoor space is big. Plenty of seating, 2 fridges and well stocked kitchen. Games upstairs were great for the kids. Loved the hot tub and view.
When we arrived the place hadn’t been cleaned but communication with the host was very quick and easy and she quickly Went to action and apologized for the miscommunication with the house keeper. The place itself was a perfect getaway with everything we needed for relaxation. Upstairs bedrooms are very warm but there’s a lot of fans throughout the house
We had a great long weekend! Played on the water, grilled and enjoyed the hot tub. Would definitely come back for a quick trip out of town. Thanks to the hosts for a wonderful stay!
Our family gathered for an early Thanksgiving. The property is large yet private. Plenty of places to spread out indoors and outdoor. We loved gathering around the gas fireplace under the covered porch while others were in the hot tub. Our family is very familiar with older beach homes and loved the imperfections. Great time!
The communication with the owners was excellent! They were super responsive and helpful. The home was bigger than I had anticipated, with plenty of things to keep the 2 kids (age 10 & 11) entertained. The view was INCREDIBLE! I loved waking up, enjoying my cup of coffee and enjoying that view every morning. Then, after a long day of beachcombing and paddleboarding in front of the property and in the private creek entrance to the West, we loved sitting in the hot tub under the stars after dinner. I cannot wait to saty here again!
1st of all....we enjoyed our family trip at the property. Water access, privacy & set well off the main road. Lovely setting. The other reviews are accurate & it was great for families w kids. 2nd of all....I think it is important to note that while the property says SLEEPS 10 PPL, you will be charged an addt'l $15 per person per night AFTER 6 GUESTS. (Ex: 10pp for 7 nights w/b 4 extra guests x $15ea x7 nights= $420). This being said, NOWHERE on this listing does it say OVER 6 GUESTS incurs an addt'l charge per person, so i was a bit disappointed in this homeowners lack of transparency. Charges become visible (or lost) in the final quote amongst clean fees, lodge taxes, damage protect fee & service fees.....The only way to discover extra guest charges are in the host fees & you have to click on details to see them. I called VRBO & they looked into. The agent was very kind and tried creating a trial resv. (as she found there was no transparency as well) and discovered the same thing when trying 8 guests. She apologized and assured me the property owner would get notification from vrbo to note this going forward on the listing as vrbo values transparency as well. Just thought other people should be given a heads up.
This house and property is fantastic! The house was well kept and stocked! Property is awesome, great for kids. We'll definitely try to visit again!
Everything about this place is outstanding.
