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?

Peaceful on the water

Very well appointed and functional cabin. Enjoyed the hot-cold water rinsing hose on the stairs from the beach for rinsing the kayaks and our feet :-) This is an ultra quiet neighborhood. Fun to watch the birds fishing and seals going by.

Amazing Puget Sound Getaway

We booked this property for our family of 4 (kids 10 and 8) as a waterfront getaway as we visited Washington after moving away 9 years ago. The house is clean, well organized and literally ON the water. We had such a wonderful time doing puzzles, kayaking and having breakfast on the deck. Its a wonderful location just minutes away from downtown Olympia. Would highly recommend!

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.

So grateful for the luggage tram. My 84 year old mother and myself and our two dogs did fine on the many stairs as long as we took our time. Once we got into the place the view and the clean, fully stocked house made us not want to leave and extend our stay. Very enjoyable experience and we would love to come again.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Peaceful stay with a beautiful view

We loved our weekend at this great house! We met up with another couple to celebrate my birthday. The house had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and the view was fantastic. The location is great - just far enough outside of town that it was quiet and peaceful but close enough for an easy drive (~15 minutes) or an uber ride. It wasn't a problem for us, but there are a whole lot of stairs to get down to the house. We really appreciated that there was an automated cargo lift to take our stuff up and down - we only wish we would have seen it the night we checked in! This would be a good thing to let people know in their check in notification. Check in and out was very easy, and communication with the manager was smooth. I would recommend this cozy house to anyone wanting a weekend in the area with a great view, especially for sunrise!

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 :)

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!

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.
