We chose this home for my parents to stay during their first trip to WA. They had never stayed in a VRBO before and loved the additional space and features compared to a hotel. The home is beautiful, clean, and every detail is thoughtfully placed from the cookware to the games cabinet. Nicole was very helpful with every question and made sure their stay was as as perfect as possible. We hope to have many out of state visitors in the future and will recommend this home to each of them. Thanks for making my parents stay so stress free!

We were visiting Olympic National Park and North Cascades National Park for a family hiking vacation. This house was our second stop to be a little closer to North Cascades and the Seattle airport. This house was perfect for our family of six. Everything, but especially the kitchen, was so well stocked, that we felt like welcomed friends instead of renters. There's a sign at the front door asking guests to take off their shoes. We loved this! We were able to walk around the house confident that the floors were clean. I would definitely recommend this place!

Great location! Easy drive from SEA TAC, to the ferries, and to the mountains. The house is very clean and the kitchen is well stocked. My only knock is the 3000.00 security deposit. I was surprised by it (probably missed this when I booked) and it was hard to tie up this amount of money for a couple of months. It takes two weeks to get it added back to the credit card. Shout out to the host--she is incredibly responsive! Thank you for a nice stay!

Perfect stay for long family time
I rented Nicole’s home for a 3 week stay with my son, daughter-in-law and brand new newborn baby. The home could not have been better for our situation. Plenty of room for the four of us and a nice separation of space with a large bedroom, 1/2 bath upstairs. The house was super well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. Loved taking advantage of the outdoor fire and proximity to the bike/walking trail. The home is on a fairly busy street, which didn’t really bother us too much. You will really feel like you are home here. The furnishings and beds are super comfortable. I highly recommend.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Nicole was great to deal with. Responded fast to our inquiries. The house was lovely, clean, close to downtown, and made us feel right at home. It was truly a home away from home. Large rooms and everything you ever needed. Kitchen was really well designed and with every kitchen utensil you could ever wish for. Nothing was lacking.
