Waterfront home on Puget Sound with Mt. Rainier/Mt. Baker view & beach access

Seize the Bay

You'll never forget the incredible waterfront setting of this three-bedroom home on the eastern shores of Bainbridge Island, where your panoramic view across Puget Sound stretches from Mt. Rainier in the south all the way north to Mt. Baker.

Dating back to the early 1900s, this historical home was the very first built on Rolling Bay Walk. Today, it enjoys a stunning position across the walk from a pebbly beach, allowing you to observe orcas, otters, bald eagles, and other wildlife from the deck, living room, and kitchen (with a telescope and binoculars on hand to assist you). And when the sun sets, enjoy incredible stargazing.

The interior of this single-level home is bright and beautifully decorated in a refined coastal style. The focal point of the living room are the generous windows framing Puget Sound, complemented by several seating vignettes (including a six-person dining table) and a wood-burning fireplace.

After a day spent sailing, touring the island's 11 wineries, or strolling the streets of Winslow, you'll have both a well-appointed kitchen and a gas grill on the front porch to assist with dinner. As for evening entertainment, you'll have a gas firepit, three flatscreen TVs, and an assortment of board games, books, and records to choose from.

Beautiful Views
The views were perfect. You can even see Seattle while on the shore. We enjoyed being able to walk by the water and even saw some orcas. However, we found the beds very uncomfortable, and it was hard to sleep on them. We know the house is old and with that comes uneven floors, but there were trip hazards including the rugs.

Review Seize The Bay
I’d like to start with the pros for Seize The Bay: THE VIEW is to die for. This is why you choose this property. The house was very surface clean when we got there. Communication regarding check in, check out and any questions we needed answered, were all clear and quick. Nicely stocked kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Location is great as it is about a 15 min drive to get anywhere on the island. Cons: This doesn’t have to do with the house but still a con. The ferry to Bainbridge from Seattle was closed to cars 9/7 – 9/13 (we booked 9/11 – 9/14). Thank goodness I stumbled across this info while doing research on how to get to the island! Vacasa 100% should have told us this before booking. When we tried to cancel it was not up for discussion – a firm reply that seemed computer generated that said "you are past the window to cancel". Disappointing. The house is old and it shows. Broken floor boards covered by throw rugs. Mold in the tub. Warped ceilings that appears to be caused by water damage. As mentioned it was surface clean but that mold, I’m guessing, is not able to be removed. A new tub and shower would really help make a difference. Throw pillows dirty and stains on some of the furniture and sheets. For the price per night I’d expect clean and/or new sheets. The grill handle completely fell off upon using the grill. It looked like it had been hanging on by one screw. Lastly, there was no propane in the outdoor fire so we were unable to use

Beautiful views
The location was beautiful. When it was clear, you could see the Seattle Skyline. My kids had the best time exploring the beach. The house was nice and clean. We cooked in the kitchen and used the BBQ. There were no BBQ tools but we were able to make it work. Our biggest complaint was the drier did not work. Otherwise, we will definitely be back!

Get what you pay for
Clean beach rental home with recent lower end refurb. It’s an old house with uneven floors which is part of its charm. The not so good is the contractor who installed the new vinyl plank flooring did not level/fix the soft spots and the planks are already coming apart. The tub/shower is functional but needs replaced/updated. That’s the you get what you pay for part which is not a negative, the house meets value expectations. The Seattle view is AWESOME, watching the ship traffic, seals and otters is relaxing. Yes I would rent this place again.
