Great view from the house
So many wonderful memories made with our and grandchildren this holiday season. We were able to book this lovely home, big enough for entire family..One of our sons lives in Shelton and was with us every day. The kitchen was well stocked and beds very comfortable and the views of Mt.Rainer and the Sound were breath taking. Thank you so much for making our family Reunion a huge success !
Would rate the overall experience as a 6 out of 10. Okay but not great. Property is a bit run down especially the backyard area. Both sliding screen doors fell off the tracks, neither bathroom sink had a drain stopper. Kayaks are a nice touch unfortunately it's a tuff job to get them down to the water and even tougher to get them back to the house. Internet service was good and the TV worked great.
Great location. Very roomy and the beach was incredible.
Our tweens and teens had space and enjoyed themselves greatly. We often rent out homes for getaways and this home was ok as it offered the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful view and to get together with friends. However the home was very dusty and dirty in many places and we had to clean; cobwebs in corners and wall; we decided not to use gas fireplace as we couldn’t see fire due to so much soot in the glass front and through the wall to ceiling. The house is under furnished so our group of 9 had to be creative when we were watching a movie. The “family room” downstairs was full of dust, kids were able to write their names on a dusty table, and windows had no coverings to sleep. This room offered space and a TV so it was fun for them and comfortable when we added two of our inflatable mattresses. Downstairs closets were dusty and dirty which would fall on our hanging clothes. Drawers filled with random game pieces and disorganized with games. We decided not to deal with that. Drawers in kitchen were not organized and some we had to remove utensils and clean. As mentioned in other reviews, the beds are not comfortable. Sleeping in the main room’s only sofa was difficult with no window coverings in that area as well. The home has great potential and may need some updating, however, a deep cleaning and attention to details seems necessary.
Great vacation house. We were able to sleep a family of six comfortably. The view is spectacular and the neighborhood is very quiet. WiFi is good and the Roku allows you to set up you own subscriptions. There are three kayaks. We planned to use them but the water was too cold in April. There is only one shower and the water has a distinct iron taste. Kitchen is fully stocked, but you might consider bringing an electric skillet.
We enjoyed our time at this property very much. We loved the view, the well-stocked kitchen, convenience items and restful atmosphere. We will be back for a stay during the summer months to take advantage of the outdoor spaces and kayaks!
You rent this place for the view, and boy--does it have that. The water is gorgeous, and the horizon with the view of the mountains is absolutely the best. For those with certain pain issues, though, there are things to be wary of: The beds are probably the cheapest beds I've ever slept on. I was in the Double room in our stay, downstairs, and boy oh boy was it hard to sleep. Bring a mattress topper, is my recommendation--the couch was more comfortable. The Kitchen was lovely and there's some spices and stuff in the cupboards for ease of cooking; that's nice. The dining tables seat about 4, and the living rooms about 5, so if you are a bigger party, you might feel a little crunched, but there's plenty of space to bring your own chairs if you need and the acoustics would do really well with karaoke or the like. Overall, the experience was lovely. They checked in, there was no invasion of our privacy, I got a quiet weekend with my friends and loved ones away from home to kinda recharge. If you like puzzles, there are so many puzzles! And kids toys, too, if you have a tot.
Didn’t stay got canceled
One of the best sunrises we have seen, overlooking the sound! Only one comment, only one shower in huge house. Thanks, Anna! Frank.
We enjoyed the whole house, yard and beach. We want to return again someday. This was a really beautiful experience.
We had an amazing stay at this wonderful home on the Hood Canal. Very spacious well-kept home. Really enjoyed using the kayaks. Would definitely rate this 5 stars. Already considering visiting again in the future.
Was very simple
amazing
Our family of adults and teens had a wonderful stay in this beautiful waterside home. The house was very roomy and we had plenty of space for each person. The kitchen was well-appointed with cookware, spices, and cleaning supplies and even had had several refrigerated basics/condiments as well. We used the laundry every day after we came home from exploring nearby hikes (don't miss Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge to see the birds, and be sure to go early to Staircase Rapids nature Trail to get a decent parking spot for the hike), and the new gas BBQ worked great for grilling out at night. We saw a seal in the water in front of the house in the mornings and had a raccoon visit the lower level one night--very exciting! Be aware the beds are all quite firm--if that isn't your style, then FYI. We'd love to return to this home--it was close by to Olympia (go to Burfoot Park at low tide to find sand dollars!!!!), right off 101 to make easy driving to hiking up North, and perched right on the coastline with large picture windows and a covered back deck to allow the family to appreciate the views every day. Lovely!
Property is a little older but does the trick. Beautiful view on the water is well worth it.
