This rental is more than everything advertised. Excellent opportunities for activities for every taste are easily accessed from here. From hiking and fishing to excellent shopping and dining.........this location is central but not so close that one can't enjoy some downtown in a cozy and comfortable setting wooded setting. The owner is wonderful to deal with - very pleasant, responsive and on top of everything you need. This is the perfect Northwest getaway.

Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. The house and backyard were both perfect for my husband and I and our larger pooches. The house definitely makes you feel at a home away from home with plenty of room yet still a very cozy feel. The private beach was amazing, even towards the end of December. The renters were superb at communicating and a pleasure to rent from. Would definitely recommend this rental home.

We stayed here for a few nights while moving from our home not far up the road, so we didn't really come for a 'vacation'. But I can say that the pictures don't do the house justice - it is very well laid out with up-to-date decor. Lots of room and, important to us with two big dogs, a securely fenced back yard. The clean air, huge surrounding trees, and quiet made us feel like we were camping, although with all the amenities. Tom was terrific with quick responses and clearly made an effort to ensure everything went smoothly. A good VRBO find.

We found this vacation spot clean and neat and everything the owner advertized! It was perfect for our stay. We were traveling each day so did not get to the beach, but hope to come back when we can stay longer and enjoy the surroundings. Thanks for a very nice time!

Great Family Gathering Spot!

Just returned from a 3 night family gathering. There were 3 couples and an infant. Everyone was very comfortable. We brought a porta-crib, and set it up in the downstairs bedroom. Roomy, open, functional kitchen. The owner contacted us during out stay to make sure everything was in order. We didn't explore very much, as we were driving back and forth to other family on Marrowstone Island each day. But the area is beautiful, and Port Ludlow is well situated. Everything worked... just an easy, casual spot to spend time with the family. Highly recommended.

Tom was very quick in replying to e-mails & gave us detailed information. We were pleasantly surprised at the quiet neighborhood. The house was very clean and kitchen was stocked with some basics. Our dog enjoyed the fenced back yard. This would be a great rental for a group of people as it's quite spacious. I would recommend this place & would consider returning to it again in the future!

I rented this vacation home for my 2 daughter's and myself, for our 2nd annual girl's getaway. We were so pleased, as we walked in the front door finding the house clean, nicely furnished and offering us the room arrangements for not only us, but my mother who joined us as well. She had her own private bathroom downstairs adjacent to her bedroom, and the girls and I shared the bathroom between the 2 peaceful bedrooms upstairs. We loved the gas fireplace, the den/living/kitchen combo which provided us hours of together time while we cooked, painted, played games, ate and otherwise enjoyed each others company. Tom was a pleasure to work with, and made our stay very comfortable. Thanks so much!

We spent Christmas week 2009 here. What an absolutely wonderful time. Christmas day was so clear that it seemed you could see forever. The house is great! The beds were very comfortable and the fireplace offered a nice spot to relax in front of after touring on those cold days. Don't trust your GPS as it showed the house at the corner! It's actually up the street a few houses on the left! We intend on returning for a summer visit to enjoy more of the outdoor activities. Our thanks to Tom for keeping the house well maintained and stocked!

OMG we had a fantastic time at your home. I can assure anyone interested that your house has everything needed plus more to enjoy a special get-away. The fireplace was an extra bonus in my opinion. You can do so many things outside and enjoy nature or nothing at all and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. We especially enjoyed clamming at your beach/sand spit and all the fresh seafood/fish available by catch or purchase, plus having all the tools in your kitchen to make gourmet meals. I especially enjoyed the fact that everything was in a days driving distance to get to. I will recommend your house to everyone I can!!!

A comfortable, well stocked and nicely appointed "home, away from home". Nice quiet neighborhood not too far from the Hood Canal Bridge, making it "convenient" for trips to Poulsbo, Port Ludlow, Port Hadlock and Port Townsend.

Beautiful, well maintain home, highly recommend. Easy access to area towns. We stayed to attend a wedding in Port Gamble, but wanted to stay together as a family, 2 went backpacking in the Olympics and 3 had been biking and camping, they all joined my husband and me. Spent time on the beach, exploring tide pools, be sure to check the tides.

Tom made us feel right at home. It was our first time using a VRBO and it was a very smooth and easy process. The house was perfect for us and in immaculate condition. Tom made sure we were very satisfied with everything. It was in a great location in a beautiful and peaceful neighborhood with all of the conveniences of home! Thank you so much for a great vacation!
