There is a shellfish grill on the lower deck for convenient barbecuing and another grill on the upper deck dedicated for meat.
Children can play board games in the family room. Adults and children can relive the '90s with the Mortal Kombat and Pacman arcades.
The family room includes high-end modern and comfortable furniture and a large 75 in. 4K TV. 4 of the 5 bedrooms are facing the water to allow for scenic views.

We provide 4 air mattresses for guest use.

Family Reunion Vacay
We had a Wonderful stay at this home. The views cannot be beat! Loved watching the wildlife and waterviews every day! The location & floor plan worked well with our family of 15. The main floor deck was our big hang out area for all of us. Great communication with the Owners. Quick relpies to questions. And when we noticed that a spindle on the staircase was not secured. We contacted the Owners and they fixed within 2 days. The kitchen had all appliances and gadgets you can think of. Appreciated a bathroom on each floor. And a laundry room with newer washer & dryer was was a bonus! Also, glad they had a/c in the home! Would defintely stay here again!

Great house, great location, great views!
We stayed at the house with a few family friends. The house was perfect for a group trip! Lots of space and well laid out. One of the better appointed rentals we’ve stayed in - well stocked inside and outside. Amazing views off the deck and lots of wildlife around. Lots of recreation in the surrounding area. Highly recommend it!

Great views near Olympia
Had a great stay with this property. We had another vacation planned and were thrilled to be able to stay here on such short notice.
Got some time out on the water which is far enough away from industrial ports to be safe to swim in and harvest shellfish more than a lot of waterfront places further north. The house is a ways out from major grocery stores but there was a great little general store that will cover you for anything you forgot about after you get off the highway.

Great House
Had a family reunion with my cousins. We loved the house. Would rent again and recommend it to others. One thing, clean off lights on deck overhead. Lot of spiderwebs.
Overall great experience.

Overall Beautiful
Overall this place is great! BUT if it happens to be hot you will suffer with no shade from the late afternoon/setting sun into the balcony and kitchen. It got pretty uncomfortable a couple of days …Big fan for the living area would be very helpful! The view was unbeatable!

Family vacation
We took all of our kids, grandkids and spouses for a family getaway from Az! Great communication from the owners of the property. House was very clean and roomy for everyone! A little warm inside when the days were hot. Suggest ceiling fans in all the rooms! Has all amenities and everything worked great for all of us! I will highly recommend to others who want a quiet getaway from all the hustle and bustle!

Great view/Many amenities
We were here for a family graduation and extended immediate family vacation. What a lovely place to gather your family! We were mesmerized with the tide, listening to the water hitting the shore and the mountains in the background. My husband was very impressed with the grills, they were the cleanest he has ever seen and a separate one for fish!
We also found the place to be in the middle of many places to tour and had many day trips. We didn’t make it to Steamboat Island, just needed a little more time!

Puget Sound retreat
The home sits on an inlet on Puget Sound with a view of the Olympic Mountains. The inlet is teaming with birds, seals, fish ...the tidal pool close by provide much entertainment. The house sleeps 10 comfortably..adding additional quests would be challenging. The decks provide lovely gathering spots.
Kayaks were provided with paddles and life jackets. We enjoyed the quiet surrounding.
