Family Reunion

I rented this lovely home for a family reunion. It is Beautiful ! The kitchen was well stocked, and lacked for nothing, as well as the bathrooms. The home is clean and well maintained. Outside the view of the Bay is Breathtaking. The wraparound deck is wonderful for watching wildlife, there was an Eagle who stayed in the tree next to the deck...... he paid a visit to the yard of Oak Bay and needless to say that I along with other family members got some amazing pictures of him. This home is furnished with some beautiful wall art, fitting for the Pacific Northwest. We stayed at Oak Bay in March, even tho it was in early spring, we spent a lot of time outdoors, and even had a bar-b-q. There were 7 of us staying at Oak Bay and there was plenty of room for us all, this home surpassed everyone's expectations. The owner was great to work with in securing the payment, and refunding the deposit, as well as answering questions. I would not hesitate to stay in this home again, and some of my family is planning on doing so.

We stayed 5 nights at Oak Bay Getaway and were very happy to see the house was exactly as depicted in the web site. The house was spotless and welcoming at the same time, with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and we always love having a laundry available. We are moving to Port Hadlock in a few months and spent most of our time exploring Port Hadlock, Port Townsend and Sequim, which were all friendly and interesting, but the best part of the day was returning to Oak Bay and relaxing in the evenings. We had some problems with the wireless internet, but the owner was easily reached and responsive to the problem. We had breakfast at the Chimacum Cafe...enormous portions, but friendly service and good food.

A wonderful getaway! Plenty of room for all of us. A great kitchen to prepare meals for the crew. Great location with "AJAX" just down the road for a great and very enjoyable dinner. You can only eat so much turkey! Would love to come back during the summer months, thanks for sharing! Jill and Gary, Las Cruces, New Mexico

My family and I very much enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday. We cooked dinner and found everything we needed (other than roasting pan for the turkey which I had brought with us). The house was comfortable for our party which included my daughter & son-in law and 2 grandbabies, my daughter visiting from out of state, my husband and myself. We arrived Wednesday evening to a nice warm house. We had problem logging on to the internet, which was quickly resolved by a call to the owner. The weather for most or our stay was on the stormy side so we didn't spend a lot of time outdoors, however we did make it to the beach and some of our group spend an enjoyable afternoon (storm and all) shopping and eating out in Port Townsend. We had a wonderful time and would certainly consider returning or recommending the house to a friend!

My Daughter, son-law, 2 grandbabies and out of state daughter, myself and my Husband all enjoyed our stay. We arrived late the afternoon of the 23rd traveling from SeaTac where we had picked up our daughter and were pleasantly surprised to open up a nice warm house. We had a problem with the internet access which was quickly resolved by the owner. The house was clean, very comfortable for our group. The weather didn't lend itself to too many outdoor activities, but we did get down to the beach a couple of times and some of our group also made it into Port Townsend for shopping and dinner out. It was a great laid back weekend, cozy and comfortable!

We weren't sure what we would get when we chose this bayside home for our fall retreat, but it was the perfect place for our family to go relax, play board games and reconnect. The house had plenty of dishes and other needs in the fully equipped kitchen, which was great. All we needed to bring was our food. Next time we plan to visit in the summer. There are books, cd's and a TV...Lot's of stuff to do if you needed to sit back and unwind. They even have a telescope for guests to use! It was close to a few small communities for shopping and sight-seeing, some wonderful restaurants as well as several historical forts, all of which we took advantage of. The owners were helpful and friendly to deal with. I would highly recommend staying at their lovely property. I know we will again!

What a setting, the description on your web page understates the beauty. The giant A-frame separated from the ocean by 60ft of manicured lawn was absolutely breath taking. We were 6 adults and 2 kids and had more than enough room. Did I mention the sun rise coming up from behind Mt. Baker while sitting on the second story wrap-around deck. We have some pictures of blues, yellows and red-oranges I've never seen before. The grand kids are hooked on crabbing forever.We rowed our row boat 50 yards to drop the 3 crab pots and got 3 rock crabs and 4 dungeness crabs on the first pull. The kids even got a couple on low tide just walking the beach. We raked and ate steamer clams for 2 meals, what a treat. We thought this was a perfect location, out enough where we were as secluded as we wanted to be and town was close enough to enjoy the Saturday market and great art shops. There's some real talent living in Port Townsend. Thank you again, and oh yes, Sally told me to mention how clean and kept up everything was.

Just returned from spending the better part of a week at this lovely rental home. We were a party of 6 adults and one infant in the area for a family wedding. The house more than met our needs, was comfortable, convienently located and offered the most incredible views. The photos, while accurate, don't do the place justice. On a scale of 1-10, it is definitely a 10. The owner was great to work with and did everything possible to make our visit an enjoyable one. This was our first visit to the State of Washington but hopefully not our last!

Thank you for making your inviting home available to us. The weather was sunny every day, at least in the afternoon:) We enjoyed watching the sea otters and birds, including the little colony of pigeon guillemots around the corner. It was a great place to relax every evening after our daily search for adventure. Lavender farms, wineries, Hurricane Ridge, Whale watching, Port Townsend, Farmers Market, Trip to Victoria BC and the beaches at Fort Flagler and Fort Warden. We ended with a lovely, delicious dinner at the Belmont Restaurant overlooking the water in Port Townsend. Thanks for the wireless too, Kevin followed the Tour De France all week long.

My parents. husband & I just spent a week in this home. It is truly more beautiful in person than the pictures would indicate. Rooms are very nice. Very open feel to the whole house. It really is a restful and relaxing place from which to tour the Olympic Penisula.Owner was very attentive to detail and very pleasant to work with.

A beautiful house, in a beautiful setting. It's a perfect place to escape to for a bit of peace, yet Port Townsend is only a few minutes away. The photos are beautiful, but the house more than lives up to them. The kitchen is impressively equipped, bedrooms are very comfortable, and the views are amazing. There are lots of nice little touches: we'd forgotten to bring music, and the owners have supplied an eclectic selection of CDs as well as DVDs. Very responsive owners who go out of their way to supply everything you need. Don't wait for nice weather, this place is great rain or shine. I will be back as soon as I can manage it!
