Beautiful sunsets and maybe a wardrobe to Narnia?

We booked this property at the last minute as an alternative to camping in the rain. :-) And we were amazed at the beautiful historic home, with fantastic upgrades (my son could not believe the kitchen ovens), and the master bathroom shower is amazing with a view of the water from the shower. The ceramic hot tub in the lower solarium was exceptional. We enjoyed the kayaks! Next time we'll get out on the tennis courts too. The property is beautifully maintained and one of the cleanest homes we've ever rented. If you choose to stay here, it will be one of your most memorable trips yet.

We would have liked blinds on the master bedroom windows facing the water. Also the living room French doors and windows facing the water would have been better with blinds. The a/c on the third floor wasn’t working the room was 99 degrees when we got to the house.

What an amazing home to spend our girls trip at. My daughter picked this home for her graduation/18th birthday trip. It did not disappoint!! The charm of this place was perfect! It was very clean and had everything we could have needed! We even got to see seals, a sea otter and deer! Would 110% recommend to anyone and would go again!

Beautiful home

Had a family get together for a long weekend of fun. House and property was beautiful! Went kayaking and saw a handful of seals! Great kitchen for a big group we all took part in making a family dinner. Pickleball, hottub and firepit all utilized over the weekend for a very memorable trip! Only con I would bring up is a lot of stink bugs in the upstairs bedroom we had to keep cleaning up for the kids. Other than that, had a lovely weekend and would stay again!!

Great location with lots of Character

Not sure if it’s the location or Victorian home, but this place has lots of character and charm. Rented the home for my wife’s birthday weekend with a couple of friends. We ended up hanging out under the covered porch and enjoyed storm watching and seeing the seals play in the sound. No issues with the home and everything was as advertised. Hot tub was great and helped us warm up after walking the property and searching for sea shells. Would definitely stay again and would bring dinner fixings to really test out the restaurant style kitchen appliances this home has.

Beautiful location and comfortable stay

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The views were breathtaking and the property had everything we needed. The only issues we had with the stay were with 1) kayaks and 2) hot tub. On our Day 2 at the property, the sun finally came out and we decided to take the kayaks into the water. We used two double kayaks. After we rowed for 5 minutes, we noticed that one of the kayaks started filling with water - potentially due to a hole. We had to quickly row back. We understand that a lot of guests use the kayaks, and it is difficult to track them - but definitely a safety issue. After coming back after our kayaking adventure- we decided to use the hot tub. The water was really hot and we tried every way available in the manual to decrease the temperature, and it would not budge. We messaged the number provided with this issue - but we did not hear back till hours later (about potential heater issues). So we gave up on that. Other than that - the fall colors were stunning and we had a fun stay.

Needs some attention

Beautiful home and location, but it needs some maintenance, updating, TLC and a REAL good overall cleaning! Lots of cobwebs in every room and an overall unclean feeling! Basement has an overwhelming musty Oder, making hot tub use unenjoyable :( Even with the let downs, the view from the deck and the peace and quiet were amazing!

Incredible piece of property

We spent a long weekend with another family and our jaw dropped at the stunning beauty of the setting. We sat on the porch, watching our kids play in the water, ate oysters from the beach (I don’t recommend this), played intense games of pickle ball and left refreshed and rejuvenated. Thanks for the great weekend away!

Seaside Victorian Main House

We, all 11 of us had a wonderful family reunion because of this fabulous WA home!! This place is BIG and has nature right out the back door. We loved the gardens, the kyacks, the pickle ball court the hot tub and all the nature of the ocean. We watched deer, bald eagles, sea otters, seals, herrins, and hummingbirds. There was no need to even go out to eat as the kitchen is perfect for cooking and the house amazing. The woodwork and architecture of this historic Victorian, 4 floor mansion is something to see and live in! We can't recommend it enough!!

Wonderful House

The house and grounds are wonderful. It is so peaceful and relaxing. We spend the entire weekend at the house so much to do and explore there was no reason to go anywhere else. From kayak on the sound to sitting on the porch swing looking at the water, there is something for everyone at this house. The only issue we had was the refrigerator temperature was an issue. Hoping that can be addressed soon. It truly is a great place to stay.

We had an amazing stay at this property. We will definitely want to book the place again!

We arrived to a beautiful gated property and even with multiple vehicles we had room to park. It is a tight driveway so our bigger rigs were able to get in but I wouldn't recommend any super large vehicles. The place had instructions for entry and once we had arrived it was very easy to get into the home. We stayed in the main victorian home and it was so nice and relaxing. The house had a ton of character and the grounds were beautiful! Highly recommend staying if you are looking for a place for peace and tranquility.

Great location

A beautiful Victorian home, in a great location. We had a few issues with the amenities such as leaky kayaks, 2/4 available boats leaked and were not useable. Also, there were staple items missing from the kitchen that we typically expect to see in a house rental. This included salt, sugar, plastic wrap, ice machine cups and mugs that we felt comfortable taking outside. The cleanliness of the property was also disappointing. Surfaces were clean, but floors and stairs had substantial dirt and dust bunnies in corners and under furniture. For such a high cleaning fee I would have expected better. Hot tub was also finicky, but it worked and we were happy to use it. Overall we would recommend this place, the beach was great and so were the oysters. The house and supplies were a letdown.

Girls week

Charming home. Excellent communication with manager. There was a dead animal smell coming from the chimney and continued through to the cabinet in the kitchen. The table in the dining room was sticky so we didn’t eat there. Could not find the garbage cans. Could not figure out how to use the hot tub as the labels had worn off. Guide to home is outdated and we were sent two different codes to the front door. Thankfully one worked. The outlets didn’t all work. And the fan by the hot tub quit working on our second day. But the home is charming and has real potential. Somehow dogs ended up on the property and two big ones prevented us from Leaving on time as my friend is deathly afraid of them. Cleaner came into the house without face mask.

Unique Home!!

We enjoyed our 4 night stay at the main Victorian home. We checked in @ 5 p.m. and found the cottage was rented, but that family checked out the next morning leaving us to ourselves - which I was grateful for given the virus situation; plus I prefer my privacy. The grounds are huge, so lots of space to run around outside. We loved having our own private beach! With the house in a cove the waters were calm & perfect for swimming & kayaking! We ate all our meals at the house & did not need to leave for anything. Enjoyed meals in the kitchen, dining room, the bistro set on the back porch, on the outdoor patio set on the side of the house & down on the grass overlooking the beach! So divine!! We all loved time on the porch swing!! At one point the sprinklers came on while we were sunbathing, but one of the caretakers buzzed by on her ski boat & told us how to shut them off - which was nice! The owner’s brother also stopped by on his jet ski to tow away one of the kayaks for repair. Both were very nice people who each told me a bit about the history of the home - which I quite enjoyed! The house is old (built in 1913 I think), so the basement smells as one may expect in an older home, but I would not let that deter you from enjoying this unique home!! Also, we thought the hot tub would be outside, but it is in the lower level in a sunroom. I personally did not spend much time in it as I would have if it were outside, but the kids (ages 4 - 19) enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We made some great family memories over our 5 day stay!
