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.
My son and I stayed here while he interning at the Capitol. It was simply fabulous. Iâd 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?
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.
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!
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 Iâve 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 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 wasnât an issue until temperatures reach 88+. Bought some fans and it was tolerable. Fantastic location and super nice place.
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!
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 granddaughterâs 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 weâll be back next year for our grandsonâs graduation.
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!
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 Natâl 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.
Property was a great location, clean, relaxing. Beautiful views and location within a reasonable drive to a number of sites we wanted to visit. Beautiful view of Mt. rainier from the living room and deck. Would definitely stay here again.
My husband and myself stayed here with our two boys for a week visiting family and seeing the area. I couldnât 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 âTacklecatâ, a cat he befriended that lived around there. Very nice cat :)
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!
Very nice and cozy house. The weather was wonderful and we got to see Mount Rainier every day! Nice place to just disappear and not have to think about anything!
Great location, literally on the water (waves go under the deck) and peaceful. Beautiful view of Mount Ranier (if not cloudy). Well stocked place with kayaks for use. Recommended for a quiet get away!
This place is a gem! It was the perfect choice for our wedding anniversary. Paddling to and from the property and the panoramic water view were our favorite features. We hope to stay here again annually. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us.
Iâve 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 youâre on a house boat! Iâd stay again without hesitation!
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.
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.
Awesome place...literally right on the water with a killer view of Mt Rainier and Budd Inlet. Well-appointed cabin had everything we could ever need. Beds were very comfortable! We really enjoyed kayaking and swimming in the inlet. Neighbors are super nice and friendly. Would stay again!
