Terrific house to celebrate our anniversary with memorable views of the Sound and Mt Rainier at sunrise and sunset from the windows and deck. We were fortunate to have clear and sunny weather during most of our short stay in this quiet, clean, and comfortable home. We enjoyed the space, hot tub, and beach area with lots of wildlife, including seals and herons, to view. The house included most everything one would need for a relaxing stay. Wendy was a gracious host and we enjoyed our time here very much!
We loved the space! It was clean and beautiful! We loved being right by the water and having a clean hot tub to enjoy also! Thank you so much!!
From the awesome communication to the spectacular house, this was an absolute dream mini vacation for my 50th birthday! We didn’t want to leave!! Everything was immaculate! Thank you Wendy!
We had such a good time. seeing the wildlife was amazing. the seals etc. it is perfectly quiet and away. felt like home away from home. very relaxing for our whole family
My fiancé and I stayed here for 3 nights and wow is this place a dream! Wendy was awesome and responded promptly to any question I had throughout the stay! We had a fire watching the sunset on the water, used the hot tub to warm up on the cool nights and even got to rent a kayak! Hopefully it will be available next year because we are looking forward to staying here again!
We really enjoyed our time at this well-appointed home on the water. The hot tub with a view was a particular treat. AC is a listed amenity which we found a bit misleading since there is only one wall unit and it is in the second bedroom. It was in the upper 80's when we were there so the house got a little warm. Overall a very nice stay.
We absolutely loved our 2 night stay! The setting and view was amazing and can't be beat. Kids enjoyed combing the beach at low tide, kayaking, and watching seals, and jellyfish. The quite setting, views, and the back deck made for a lovely spot to sit and take it all in. It was a perfect spot for our family of 6 to get away together.
We loved everything about this property. From the morning and evening views of Rainier to the hot tub, it was just what we needed. Felt so secluded and was very quiet yet a good midpoint for trips to Olympic, Rainier and Seattle. Taking the kayaks out on the inlet was a nice option to have as well.
This place is simply beautiful! The views are second to none. Eld Inlet, Mt Rainier, open beach, passing boaters, AMAZING sunrise - beautiful sunset colors on the mountain, sky full of stars! Has it all. Super quiet neighborhood and private garden, hot tub and large deck to take it all in. Not far from great restaurants, shopping, junk hunting etc. We spent a full day of doing nothing and loved every second of it. Stocked with everything you need, just being the groceries! Our pup, Huckleberry, was in heaven. He found a new friend in a local Chocolate Lab named Sadie. If you have a well behaved dog, not too big, it’s perfect for them to romp around. The owners were super communicative and easy to work with. Highly recommend this property. If I could give 20 stars, I would!
The house was just right for our stay. We were working (one teleworking at the house, the other commuting to office in town), but the kitchen and dining room had everything to enjoy home cooked or takeout meals in the evening. The hot tub was especially nice, in any weather. The fireplace was cozy on rainy days, and when the sun came out...WOW! Gorgeous sunrise, sea lions cavorting in the inlet, and a fabulous view of Mt Rainier.
This home is a bit of a drive from town, but is perfect for someone who loves being on the water with a view. We were fortunate to have clear skies and to see the beautiful Mt Tahoma. It was comfortable and clean. The front door lock was a bit tricky. We enjoyed our stay.
My wife and I had a great stay! My only two complaints and they didn't dissuade me from a 5 start review: 1. I couldn't log in to my own streaming accounts which isn't a big deal as I had other options. 2. Water pressure was lacking in the shower. Wendy was amazing and even helped me book an in house massage for my wife. I would definitely book this property again!
Loved hanging out on the deck with the beautiful water view.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay including kayaking, firepit & smores and soaking in the hot tub. They have 5 one person kayaks and life vests also for kids.
This property is beautiful. We had a wonderful stay with our 2 young children and my mother in law. The house had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend.
We live on the heart of Vancouver BC in a condo on the 22nd floor. With the stress and insanity the last three years have been, we seriously needed to unplug. This was the perfect place! Amazing views, on the shore, quiet, beautiful fauna and a well equipped kitchen. The host suggested my new favourite grocery store too. We were going to kayak but the weather wasn’t working. This one’s a winner!
