Perfect place to rest, relax and recharge

This was an absolutely stunning property! Breath-taking views, amazing location, and the home itself was roomy, yet cozy, very clean and comfortable. The property owners we friendly and responsive, and the check in/out process could not have gone smoother. As amazing as this place looks on-line, the pictures don't do it justice, all expectations were surpassed!

Sunset paradise

Came with family to visit colleges in the area. This was a perfect spot in between Seattle and Tacoma. The sunsets each night were prefect, a short walk down the beach or a long walk along the creek made the days wonderful. The house was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The host was responsive and very kind. I would visit again!

Weekend stay, away from the city

This was a delightful, waterfront cottage. We really enjoyed our stay and wish we had had another day to just stay "home" and drink coffee on the deck.

Beautiful views!

We enjoyed our stay! The house was great & had plenty of room for our family of four. It was easy to get to and from the city and the airport. The views were great! Window coverings of some sort would be nice in the primary bedroom and living room as it got very hot in those rooms when the sun was beaming in. Overall, we had a wonderful stay!

Great Stay

The house was exactly as expected and pictured. It had a great view of the water and was in a quiet neighborhood. The house has been updated, as the pictures show, and was perfect for a long weekend getaway. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Seattle. Host was easy to get in touch with for questions as well.

Second stay

We stayed at this great home 3 years ago and loved it, so we were looking forward to another visit. It is just as perfect as it was the firat time. The views are outstanding and the location is very quiet and private with many places to visit easily accesible. The hosts are very hospitable and the ease of check-in and out was super! Would highly recommend this wonderful home!
