This was the third year we have met up with family at Heather & Pat’s beautiful beach house and can’t say enough wonderful things about it. We especially enjoyed the huge deck, amazing views, and ability able to walk out the door and immediately hit the water with the various watercraft we had access to. The house is always fully equipped with anything you might need in all rooms. The owners are very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. In short, a fabulous home, hosts, and vacation.

This house was beautiful. Beds were comfortable, linens exceptional. The owners were easy to work with. It is ON Hood Canal, so it has a beautiful view. Great firepit. Would definitely stay again. The formal dining worked great for puzzles. Kitchen, dining, living areas were great, bonus room was great, garage game room was great. Kayaks were great. We wish we could have stayed longer. Our group was us (the parents), our 4 kids (2 with wives), and a 22month old grandchild = 8 and a "half" :-) The only 2 downsides that affected our family, was the limit of 5 min showers, as a couple of the adults had long hair; and there really is no place to walk - you need to go to one of the nearby parks and walk the trails. (when the tide is out the ground is soggy - but they do have several pairs of boots in the garage you could use)

Amazing home, one of our favorite staycation properties. Heather is a wonderful host with great communication and the home is always welcoming and clean with ample amenities, towels, bbq grill, and games to keep you busy. We look forward to staying again next time!

Wonderful New Years stay, beautiful beautiful views. Host was very responsive chatted prior and during the stay. We lucked out and the kids got to play in the snow. Perfect amount of space for 8 people! The 3 kids loved the “pop a shot” basketball and ping pong in the garage. Already interested in summer/fall dates! 2 types of coffee Brewers traditional and Keurig. Plenty of dishes, cups and cookware. 2 fridges— we utilized one for food and one for beverages. My only tip for families who will be cooking a lot— bring some Tupperware type storage. We made due with tin foil but that’s the only thing I forgot to bring. QFC and Safeway are a convenient distance too!

Everyday here was “the best day ever”!! We enjoyed being outside on the deck, grilling our dinners, eating our meals, morning coffee … couldn’t have wanted more. We saw seals, herons and many other birds every day. The weather was fantastic. We’ve already discussed the desire to come back for another group get away Thank you for allowing us to use your home!!!

We've stayed in plenty of rental homes, and this has to be one of the best! The home is spotless, the owners are so kind and quickly answer any questions, and everything is decorated in soothing, beachy colors. We loved the kayaks and paddleboards and searching for pretty shells during low tide. We really enjoyed the gorgeous picture windows and the sunsets! There were lots of towels, books, games, and even soaps and shampoos available. There were 9 of us, and there was room to spare! Just to be honest, I did have a hard time with my 18-month old. The deck and stairs to the beach (of which several are underwater at high tide) are pretty scary for littles. Also the TV setup and sound bars are right within reach of little hands. The above-garage playroom would be perfect for littles except it does not have AC and we happened to go during a heat wave. All that being said, we totally want to rent this home again next year. The views, comfy beds, and quiet neighborhood are perfect for a relaxing vacation. The house was delightfully cool and the ceiling fans made it even better. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, though one night we did try Seabeck's at the owner's recommendation and it was delicious! All of my kids agreed that it was one of the best vacations we've had. :)

The new decking is beautiful. The four bedrooms are on the west wing allowing people to sleep while others watch tv or talk at the east end. The new toilet in the master bedroom is nice. The kitchen appliances could stand to be updated but it is obvious that updating is being done In stages.

The house and property are beautiful! Its so peaceful sitting on the deck. The kids loved the games and water toys provided. We deffantly want to come back!

This house is wonderful. The best feature is the large deck. We enjoyed many hours of visiting and looking at the beautiful scenery on the deck.

This house, location and management is amazing. An incredible location to escape and spend some time on the water to clear your head. Great for adults, kids, everyone really. We loved it!

The house accommodations were great The septic situation was fine as long as we were careful not to have two showers at the same time. A magical place to bond as extended family. The water toys were fun for some of us. The games in the garage were a plus. You can’t go wrong with this property.

We really loved the property and it was a nice getaway for our entire extended family. 2 grandparents, 4 adults, 2 kids (3 &5). Conveniently located close to town we had our space but also felt connected for going on walks and ice cream runs. There was enough space for everyone to easily cook and spread out during the day. We loved the game room and the great views of the water. We will definitely book this house again sometime! The owner was really easy to communicate with and I was able to ask a lot of questions about the kitchen in order to pack accordingly. She even asked me a day into our trip what the kitchen was missing and sent those things the next day. The challenges arose at night. Don't be mislead by the bathroom count. All 4 bedrooms are on the same side of the house and 3 of the rooms essentially share one full bathroom that shares a hallway with the rooms(no ensuite). The master obviously has its own bathroom. The other 3rd "full" bathroom is fully across the entire house next to the garage and has an RV sized corner shower with cramped space. Even the tiniest adult (5'2") felt it was too small. Sharing one bathroom worked OK for us but is not ideal for multiple couples. The upside with having all the bedrooms clustered was that the early risers didn't bother those who slept in. We enjoyed spending time out on the deck soaking up the sun and down near the water. Be sure to pack your PNW water shoes as this area is completely covered in broken seashells. Also, for families with small children- look closely at the deck photos. There are an unusual amount of deck drop offs/elevations and very few railings. We had to watch the kids like hawks when they were outside bc the deck all blended together visually. I.e. the 4" stairs could use a grippy reflective tape as multiple people tripped. All in all we liked our stay. Just a few things that the family talked about that you as a renter should be prepared for.

My husband, myself and our 3 kids (ages 15, 13 and 8) had a fabulous spring break vacation at this house! The house was clean. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We didn't use the room over the garage much because it was too cold and separated. The weather was cool but gorgeous. It was too cold for going out on the lake, but our 8 year old and I explored the shell beaches every day. Boots are a must! They have binoculars there. She was fascinated by all of the birds, eagles, seal, heron, ducks and tons of different shells. The sand dollars are perfect but those are out towards the buoys. The garage is tons of fun - lots of ping pong tournaments! We did 4 puzzles, grilled and cooked a lot, and had smores on the fire pit. Fire wood bundles are for sale across the street. It was a great location to get to Bainbridge Island easily - we went to the Bloedel Reserve botanical garden one day. Would recommend this house to friends.

Perfect size for the 10 of us; plenty of room to spread out. Beautiful views from the enormous deck!

We loved this house! It's location on the water is fabulous. The house has room for everyone and by room I mean getaway space. People have a place to gather together and separately. The kitchen is well stocked. We loved that they had two refrigerators as we had tons of food. We were disappointed the fireplace was not working and we read that in other reviews. A gas fireplace would of been nice as with all the windows and the outside temperatures. It was cold. The firepit outside was fabulous. We saw seals, eagles, and other birds. They provided the wood too. Kids love smores! The owner surprised us with the fixings! The beds were comfortable too.

The property is a very nice location on Hood Canal.Kitchen well equipped. The Ice maker in the refrigerator was not working. With unusually hot weather, an ice maker would have been nice.Carpets in two bedrooms were badly stained and in need of a good cleaning.We all found the temperature of the house too cold. We heeded the request and did not change the thermostat.We all wore jackets in the house.Overall, the three of us had a good and much needed vacation.

Beautiful views, lovely deck, and all the fun the kids could want. This house is large, well designed and equipped with anything you could want. We've rented a lot of homes and this is one of the best.

My family and I had an incredible time at this Hood Canal property. This was our third stay in a VRBO house, but our first time in this place. It has blown away all other homes we've stayed in. Inside: there is plenty of space for everyone. When we were eating, inside or out, or making a meal in the kitchen/dining area, we never felt crowded or cramped. There were two different main floor living spaces - we used one to do a puzzle in - both were comfortable and spacious with incredible views of Hood Canal. The beds were incredibly comfortable with nice linens. Outside - a huge deck with lots of room for the family. We brought our own umbrella for shade. Easy access to swim. The firepit was amazing - lots of room, once again - for the whole family. We will definitely stay in this home again, hopefully for much longer than 4 days next time! Highly, highly recommend.
