We very much enjoyed our time in this property, but it's not quite flawless. The vast majority of things fall on the good side: The house is very clean, very spacious, well-taken care of and well-appointed. You can tell it's owned and used regularly by an actual family, as opposed to strictly being used as a vacation rental. So there are lots of homey touches, and there's no lack of little things you sometimes miss in a renters-only VRBO (spices, for example, or all the necessary kitchen gadgets). Fun playrooms for big people and little people. Check-in/out were easy-peasy; Kathleen, the property manager, was super-communicative and helpful. The balcony is huge and has a nice view. The location is very convenient to both Hood Canal area and Case Inlet.
The only knock on the place is that the grounds are a bit rough. The property is quite big (maybe an acre and a half) and there's a children's play area with a swing-set jungle gym. But the grounds are mostly gravel and pretty weedy/sticker-y, and it kind of seems like at one time, they were largely used as a big parking lot. That didn't cause us too much problem, but it IS the difference between four and five stars.
