We've come to this property for years. It is the right size for our group of friends. We enjoy the remoteness of it and appreciate the simplicity of the lodging while at the same time having what we need to accommodate all of us regarding bathrooms, kitchen facilities and living space.

Beautiful Location

The property is very lovely and quiet. Our kids loved exploring on the beach. Very good communication from the owner. Guests do need to bring in drinking water if staying for several days.

Beautiful and relaxing!

The property is right on the beach with beautiful views of the water. It was so very quiet and relaxing. We had a family bbq and everything we needed was available from propane for the grill to large bowls. I would definitely stay here again! It is the perfect place for a family retreat.

Great getaway

We enjoyed our stay, loved being by the water. Plenty of room for everyone (4 adults and 6 children). The grandkids enjoyed the beach and smores around the fire pit. We hope to come again!

What a wonderful place with beautiful views. We loved exploring the beach at low tide and hearing the waves lap against the bank during high tide. We would love to stay here again in the future!

A perfect house for our family group of five adults and two kids. The beach was not as sandy as some, but lots of shells and sand dollars to be found, as well as a very safe place for little kids to play in the water. The only tricky part is that Google maps tries to take you down a road that does not exist to get to the house ... but just follow Heather and Leah's instructions and it is easy! Internet is a little slow but given the delightful remoteness of the house it is well worth that little inconvenience! Thank you!

Relaxing hideaway

It's a beautiful setting and a well-appointed home- a very comfortable stay for my family. If you're someone who wants to white glove test the baseboards, keep scrolling because these hosts don't need that kind of negativity in their lives- but if you are looking for a peaceful location, well-stocked and cozy, you'll find that and more. Hospitable hosts- we booked another stay before leaving the property :)

What an amazing spot

The location is unbeatable, with a private beach full of life and within earshot of the star spangled banner every morning at 8:00. With a view to the east, the sunrises are spectacular and sunsets paint any cloud cover with vibrant colors. The house itself was bigger than expected. This isn’t a 5 star resort, but it felt like home. Every essential is thought of. The beds are comfy, big table for family dinners or game nights, kitchen had everything I could think of from making pizza to Christmas ham. This place is a dream getaway

The setting is beautiful- it’s on a tidal beach where lots of birds fly and look for food and the sun and moon glint on the water. Tall trees surround it . The front of the house facing the water is basically all windows, allowing spectacular views from the inside as well as from the spacious outside porch. The location is a bit remote, which was fine with us but may not be right for someone looking for quick access to restaurants or coffee shops.

Photos don’t do justice to this tranquil, spacious waterfront getaway, less than 2 hours from downtown Seattle. 3 generations, age range 20 months to 70, spent an idyllic 3 days, rarely leaving the property. At hosts’ advice, we rented paddle boards in Port Gamble, which led to daily encounters with seals and otter as well as instructive conversation with the shellfish farmers across the inlet. The last day we ventured as far as Chinicum and Port Townsend discovered their charms. Gorgeous sunrises. Fun beachcombing and crab watching at low tide.
