Loved!

Would recommend and definitely go back. Had a family reunion and everyone was pleasantly surprised with how nice the property was. Wish we stayed longer to enjoy all the amenities (aka hot tub)! Note for electric car owners - they have a nema 14-50 outlet in the garage to charge your car. It was super helpful to have.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great and well stocked; the shuttle is easy to get to the marina. The management company answers during business hours but when I tried to leave a message after hours, the mailbox was always full.

Perfect location for activities

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved our stay! The home is beautifully furnished and decorated and the beds are extremely comfortable. The location is very close to both pools which made it easy to switch back and forth! Loved having the grass out the front door for the kiddos, too. Our only complaint is that many of the children’s items in the listing were not in the home (full sized crib, high chair, baby seat). We booked the home since we have small kiddos so that was a disappointment! Check with the staff before you check in and maybe they can help accommodate ?

Surf or Ski at The Lookout

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic stay at Surf and Ski! The home was a perfect fit for our group—cozy, comfortable, and just the right size. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made cooking meals easy, and we really appreciated having everything we needed right at our fingertips.The ping pong table was such a fun bonus. Plus, having central air in the garage was a nice touch and made the whole space much more usable and enjoyable.Overall, the house was clean and welcoming, though the carpets in the shared areas and the garage could use some attention. That said, the location absolutely made the trip. The kids had a great time in the nearby green space, and the pool was just a short walk away. We also loved the convenient shuttle pickup to the cove right next to the pool.All in all, a great experience. We’d happily stay again.

Really Liked It

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is maybe the 8th time we’ve stayed at the lookout and we enjoyed this house a lot! The layout wasn’t ideal for little kids but it was made up for with lots of toys, books, and a great bunk room. This location is our fave: right on the grass lawn and central to both pools and all the play parks. This was by far the best stocked kitchen of any rental ever! Outdoor dining was amazing and the heaters came in handy. Our only complaint was that the baby monitors, high chair, and pack and play were all missing. I’d also recommend bringing your own suction blackout curtains.

From London to Chelan!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was in perfect condition and immaculately clean which are both hugely important to me. Further, it had literally everything we needed from gear for young kids to the kitchen. The bedrooms were very comfortable and uncluttered and the garage gym and game room was great. We really enjoyed using the peloton tread and bike. Overall, the house felt like our own home and we were super pleased with everything. The Lookout was a great place with lots to do and great for kids. Very safe, secure, well maintained and the ability to walk to town was an added plus. Only downside is that the houses are extremely close together which makes for a great community but feels crowded when looking out your windows right into the neighbors place (and especially considering how much open space there is in the area). When we return, we will definitely come back to the Lookout and we’d very likely choose the same house again!

We appreciate the review Geoff! Surf or Ski is located in a great area. Behind the home is a maintained grassy area for everyone to enjoy. It is also walking distance to the pool which is opened year around and heated at 80 degrees. The Lookout is always a perfect place to get away for a mini vacation with the family!
