This cottage exudes charm and comfort. We had a wonderful stay. The views are gorgeous, the evenings were quiet . The stretch of beach is stunning. At high tide it was unmatched. I grew up spending summers on puget sound, this was nostalgic and filled my every memory remembering what a wonder place puget sound is. Bring water shoes and floaters. Everything else is provided.

We had a great stay! This is a very cute cottage on the beach. It was well stocked and the owners are friendly and quick to respond. It's close to many fun activities as well. Beautiful lakes, hikes, and not too far from the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. The house is small and only one bedroom has a door. It would have been lovely when our kids were little but my 18 year old day was wishing her room was more private. There is only one bathroom which we knew but the porta potty at the bottom of the big hill saved us a few times. The fire pit and paddle boards provided made my teens love the beach. We also picked a lot of huge delicious blackberries! Loved the house but it did feel small and wish the downstairs bedroom had a door. Overall would probably stay again. Beautiful artwork in the house too, which I loved.

This property was perfect for our mom/daughters/sister family reunion! You won't be disappointed! Keri and Jerry could not have been more welcoming! The view of Puget Sound from the cottage is lovely. We hiked along the shore and also in Watershed Park. Olympia is a great place to visit!

Cute Cottage, but Important Details to Know Before BookingThere are several highlights: the host's communication was fantastic throughout our stay, the place itself is clean and undeniably cute, the linens were very nice, the location is great, and the setting is wonderfully quiet.However, there are a few drawbacks and discrepancies with the listing details that future guests should be aware of:Location & View: The cottage is NOT directly beachfront. Reaching the beach requires walking at least 100 yards down a very steep hill. Additionally, the main owner's house sits directly in front of the cottage, blocking most of the view from the first floor.Amenities & Tech: While an EV charger was listed, only a standard extension cord was provided, which is not a proper or safe substitute for EV charging. The Wi-Fi was also sketchy for some of us. The remote for the tv did not work at all. Fabulous water pressure and good hot water. Layout & Comfort: The stairs leading up to the second floor are very steep, so caution is needed. The main living room furniture was unfortunately quite uncomfortable. Twin beds were not comfortable for adults.All the cozy blankets were appreciated!Kitchen & Fixtures: The kitchen features raw wood plank countertops, which are porous and not properly food-safe. Also, none of the windows have screens, making it tricky to let fresh air in without inviting bugs inside.Overall, it's a cozy, quiet spot with great hospitality.

Wonderful experience, cozy and comfortable and close to everything yet tucked away on a private quiet and peaceful road. Hosts were responsive and the home had plenty of amenities. Clean washer dryer as well as everything needed for the kitchen and bath. Will definitely stay again and again!

The house was very cozy. It was almost like being at home with things you needed in the kitchen. The bedding was comfortable and sitting around the living room was very communal. The house sits on a rise above the inlet and you can see the water, at least when it's not overcast. It's a lovely place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this waterfront cottage! The location alone makes it worth it. Waking up to peaceful water views and ending the day with beautiful sunsets was very relaxing.The home was very clean, cozy, and well cared for. It had everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable. The space was perfect for our family.My girls loved walking down to the beach and playing there. It was a great place to get away, quiet and peaceful, but still a short drive to town if you need anything from the store.Overall, this was the perfect spot for a peaceful getaway. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing waterfront retreat.
