Bucket List Fulfillment
My sister Candy is battling metastasized liver cancer, and she wanted to spend some time near family that live in Lacey and we rented this property to allow her to stick her toes in the Pacific Ocean. We did that and more!!

Great rental, bigger than in the pictures, helpful responsive host
We rented both sides of this duplex. It was great for 6 couples with room(s) to spare. Very well equipped kitchens, great outdoor spaces, lots of games. We walked to SF St Bakery for fresh treats every morning. Very comfortable.

Absolutely perfect!
I can't say enough about this property and the host. Everything was exactly as described and the home was new and spotless.
Our group was comprised of 6 adults and 2 children, and there was plenty of room for the kids to run and play.
The kitchen was incredibly well equipped with all the cookware and dishes we needed. There were also lots of extras, such as a blender and air fryer. The heat pump on the ground floor was much appreciated. All appliances worked well.
The home was easy to find and in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to stores, restaurants and anything one would need. There was a fantastic selection of board games, appealing to every age level, with two big screen TVs available.
It's the little things that make a stay wonderful, and one of those things was a scrapbook of suggested restaurants and local activities. We loved the personal recommendations!
Our entire stay went off without a hitch so there was no need to contact Zach, but prior to the stay he was very responsive and all information was very clear.
This was our absolute best experience for a short-term rental. Highly recommended.

A perfect home for our adventure
This home was everything we could hope for. It had a main level bedroom for in laws and a lot of space upstairs for us. The location was quiet, picturesque and safe, pleasant walking paths. The home had everything you would need. Temperature was perfect, kitchen well equipped and great backyard with a grill. I would highly recommend this home for anyone staying in Olympia. Communication was great and it exceeded our expectations.

Great first VRBO experience!
Zach was very communicative about the whole process for us since we were new to VRBO. The rental was very attractive in a nice neighborhood. Everything was great and the massage chair was a wonderful addition! Do yourself a favor and stay at this one if you are in Olympia.

Housing for wedding weekend
Our stay was enjoyable. Place was clean, nice kitchen and backyard area. Enjoyed massage chair and thankful for AC. Perfect place for bride, sister, cousins, and a couple extra bridesmaids to stay near our wedding venue. I would book again as one of our rentals for a family reunion.
