We had a bit of weather while there (hardly unexpected for early March in the PNW), so couldn't take advantage of all that's included here. However, being right on the water, hearing it when you wake up and watching it during a storm was just lovely. ##### Trudy H. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gene B. 25 Sept 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy and Private The property was amazing! Very beautiful and stocked very well and with plenty to do. Loved that there were more than enough towels and everything we needed in the kitchen. The hot tub was great. The cleanliness wasn’t the best though. I had to sweep the floors, the showers weren’t wiped very well (there was still hair in one), the counters weren’t wiped well, and the floor had several areas that should have been wiped up. Overall cleanliness was okay, it just didn’t look like it had been thoroughly cleaned. ##### Gene B. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy W. 29 Nov 2022 #### Last review had a mistake I think I accidentally may have rater the house as one star. It was supposed to be 5! ##### Tracy W. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane M. 16 Sept 2022 #### Nice long weekend! The location and house were great! Very well equipped! We used kayaks, paddleboards, corn hole, hit golf balls into the water and collected at low tide.... Games and puzzles provided too! The kitchen had everything we needed. Would love to come back! ##### Jane M. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph F. 14 Sept 2022 #### Fantastic place Beautiful, clean and peaceful. Kitchen had everything you need (including salt, pepper and oil). Living room had side tables and reading lamps for a cozy evening reading books. Power strips conveniently laid out for easy charging. This place is exactly as described. ##### Joseph F. ---
