Review of Port Orchard Home

Date of Stay: 12/20/11 Review Submitted: 03/10/12

The home was nice and clean. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed the fireplace. Drawbacks were no wireless (ethernet only so only one computer at a time could be used), and no VCR or DVD Player.

Recommended for:Age 55+, pet owners, sightseeing.

ABSOLUTELY AND PERFECTLY WONDERFUL!

If looking for a lovely, well appointed and generously provided "home" this is it. You will be nestled in a very quiet cal de sac in the middle of woods where you most likely will see deer from your windows or from a great porch overlooking the woods; the squirrels will most certainly be your friends - if you treat them right. Port Orchard is a charmingly friendly village from which you are able to use public transportation to most anywhere (if willing to walk short distances and learn the routes) via foot ferry and the state ferries to Seattle and beyond. We stayed for a month without a vehicle, traveled most of the area, and saw most of the sights for less than $200 with our ORCA passes (available at Safeway or at the Bremerton Ferry Landing). The owners offer a special bonus with their pleasant, unobtrusive, and welcoming personalities. If only this property were for sale! Dean and Dorothy

Owner response:An appreciation of natural beauty and a sense of adventure will take you a long ways!

Port Orchard Vacation Rental-Good Stay!

The house was very centrally located for our needs. We had a little trouble with the weather being a little warm and no air conditioning or fans in the house. We have small children and some of the furniture required constant vigilance so I would recommend this house more for families with children over 10 years old. The neighbors and the gardening people were very helpful and pleasant to talk to. We were able to easily access the whole Kitsap Peninsula with our location.

Owner response:Fans are accessible for guests to use if the weather becomes uncomfortable, but they are rarely needed.

We enjoyed this house very much. Everything we needed such as pots and pans was available. Nice large bathroom. Very nice and clean. Enjoyed the back deck and beautiful woodland view. Good location. Quiet street. Will recommend to our friends.

Owner response:We feel like we have a treasure to share. Thanks for taking the time to find it, and for giving us your business.

This house is beginning to feel like my second home. I love it. The views are outstanding, especially when I walk down to the ferry. It's a nice quiet area and the house was clean when I arrived. It was ready to live in.

Owner response:That's our goal: To provide affordable, clean, ready to live in, temporary housing in a beautiful setting.

Everything was clean and well maintained, and the owners were helpful and nice to rent from. The house felt secluded and cozy. It really felt like a home for our family. If I ever need to stay in Port Orchard again, I will definitely come back to this house.

Owner response:Our goal has been to create a comfortable, home like atmosphere for our guests. Please do come again. We appreciate your kind words and your business.

Thanks very much for the use of your house during Cedar Cove Days. It was great to have a place to call home. The area was lovely and close everything going on. Also, special thanks the offer for Sunday, that was great.

this is such a peaceful, beautiful location. We love the "tree house" feel of the back yard and deck. We were thrilled to get pictures of a doe and her fawn on our 1st day here. Have you ever considered selling the house? If we don't get a VRBO of our own, we would definitely like to stay here again on our next visit. T & JL

To say that this house is clean and well kept is an understatement. Felix Unger surely lives here. The home is lovely, you walk into a well kept bungalow and quickley find yourself transported to the tree tops of an enchanted forest. We loved it.
