Perfect

I’ve stayed in a lot of VRBOs and this one was perfect! Super well stocked with everything you need, great communication with owners, beautiful location, and when the tide is in you feel like you’re on a house boat! I’d stay again without hesitation!

Fabulous retreat.

Although my husband and I both had to work during our stay, it felt like a holiday due to the beautiful location. We had perfect weather, and the sunrise views were incredible. The house was well equipped -- nothing we needed was lacking. Hope to stay again!

Peaceful retreat

Incredible changing views. What a way to wake up- to a sunrise behind Mt. Rainier some days. Constant changing weather and tides and visiting eagles, made for entertainment. We had our young family visit daily and the place was perfect for a 2 1/2 yr old. Windows felt like we were on a boat.

Lovely stay!

My son and I stayed here while he interning at the Capitol. It was simply fabulous. I’d drive him 15 minutes to work then return and spend my day working at the house while gazing at the passing ducks. The good WiFi, well equipped kitchen and laundry made our stay super smooth. Oh and did I mention the gorgeous view and walking on the beach?

Stairs

Good location. Wonderful beach. Quirky house. 40 stairs down and up...so if you don't like stairs this isn't the place for you. Inadequate paper supplies (tp & paper towels) left for a nine day stay and a house full of women.

Just what I wanted

We had a terrific experience. I was looking for a place on the water to just hang out for the week. It was me, my husband, my friend, and my 12 month old. The view was AMAZING and the water was RIGHT THERE. It was too cold for too much outdoor stuff but we felt like we were outside, just sitting at those huge windows. The kitchen was well stocked. They have really thought of everything!

Thanksgiving stay

This is the second time my wife and I have stayed here. We loved it so much the first time we had to bring our kids with us the second time. The renovation that was completed is absolutely beautiful and made the house feel even more comfortable. Having a beautiful view from the new kitchen made cooking much more enjoyable. The sunrise we had on our first morning in the house was one of the best sunrises I’ve seen. The memories made while staying here will be remembered for a very long time and we cannot wait to come back to make more.

Water front house

The house has been renovated very nicely and was super clean. When the description says water front it really is water front. During high tide you have water underneath the patio. Quiet location as well. Note to future renters the house does not have AC and for the most part wasn’t an issue until temperatures reach 88+. Bought some fans and it was tolerable. Fantastic location and super nice place.

Incredible Stay

This newly remodeled home, and location, is incredible. So very clean and comfortable, and plenty of vistas to entertain for hours out the huge picture windows. An appreciated bonus was a luggage tram that helped tremendously from the parking area down to the home below and back up! Eating meals on the deck watching sea lions, boats, and even 2 eagles was so relaxing. We took the kayaks out one afternoon and enjoyed going around the inlet. Stores were 10 minutes away, Olympic Nat’l Park is accessible as a long day trip, and Seattle is close enough. There was plenty of kitchenware, towels, and other random things you forgot at home. We stayed 5 nights and wish we had 10 more! I plan on returning in the next few years.

Literally, a beach front location!

This home is literally a few steps from the beach, we walked along the shore each day, & we watched the tides up close. The views from the east-facing windows of the sound are magnificent, including a frequent clear sight of Mt Rainier. The home is very well-stocked, it lends itself to pure comfort & relaxation, & our young grandsons were eager to visit us each day due to its location. The kayaks that we paddled are sturdy sit-on-tops (paddles & good life jackets are on site). The seals, otters, & birds are visible - there are binoculars on the window sills. The grill is wonderful & many utensils are provided. The owners were quick to respond to our few questions. We will definitely return next year - great way to visit our family!

As Ever - Amazing!

This was our 5th stay, but the 1st time with the new and improved house. Still had the same great views of the comings and goings on the Budd Inlet and beautiful Mt. Rainier! Came from MI with two of our adult daughters (the 3rd already lives in Olympia) to celebrate our granddaughter’s graduation. We did lots of meals during this stay and found the kitchen had everything we needed, even cupcake tins, plenty of large serving bowls, etc.. We availed ourselves of all the amenities- outdoor fire pit, kayaks, laundry, WiFi and more. The only thing missing for me was a vase to arrange some flowers in - I love to have fresh flowers in a house. Bill was quickly attentive to any question we had - a very gracious host. Hopefully we’ll be back next year for our grandson’s graduation.

Beautiful, peaceful and totally memorable

My husband and myself stayed here with our two boys for a week visiting family and seeing the area. I couldn’t wish for a better place to stay. The property was super clean, beds super comfortable and William was quick to respond to any questions we had plus it had all the amenities you could think of. The place is absolute magic with the views, the fresh air, watching the tides everyday and looking for sea life. Lots of birds, fish, hermit crabs and what we assume were sea otters. As others have said it really is like being on a houseboat when the high tide comes in! We definitely hung around the house way more than we had anticipated so we could just enjoy it. There are a lot of steps going to and from the house but not difficult and oh my gosh so totally worth it!! Ps.. our oldest wanted me to mention ‘Tacklecat’, a cat he befriended that lived around there. Very nice cat :)

We really liked how the water came up at high tide to the wall, watching it from all the windows. It felt like we were on a boat. The house had all the things we needed to BBQ & fix our meals. The side deck is very nice to hang out.

Beautiful Home on the Water

We had the best visit while staying here! It was a long overdue visit with our Seattle/Olympia family and this home was the perfect place for us to reconnect in beautiful surroundings. The house sits right on the water and you can enjoy the views from the house or easily hop in a kayak for a peaceful paddle. We were fortunate to have a view of Mt. Ranier every day we were there. With all the amenities we could possibly need we felt right at home. And the host was super helpful and responsive. We could not have asked for a better stay.

Reconnecting with my roots

I stayed here last year and it was excellent then and it's even more so this year. I grew up just up the beach. This year I brought my 2 grandsons with me for the whole week and their mother and aunt also stayed a few nights. So much fun walking the beach with everyone, kayaking and swimming. We even saw 5 Orca whales and some seals. The weather was perfect. Being able to stay at a beach house that was literally on the beach was the icing on the cake for this trip.

The best part of this spot is the view.

We enjoyed staying on the edge of the water. This house is a bit on the older side but was spotless. We had everything we needed for a few days stay. The bay views with Mount Rainier in the background were super. The only thing we did not realize was that there 75 steps from the parking spot down to the house. My wife & I are seniors & had some difficulty making it up & down the stairway. Overall I would recommend this spot for a great getaway.
