We loved our stay at this house in Hoodsport! So roomy, beautiful view, comfy beds, nice bathrooms, nice big deck, fully stocked kitchen, and an owner that was so nice that we truly wish we could have met him! Our group was my husband and I, our son and his wife, and their two kids, ages 1 1/2 and 4 1/2. The kids found a closet full of toys to play with, and never played with the toys they brought along. There were outlet covers and night lights aplenty. My son's family slept in the loft with 2 queen beds, a twin bed and a crib. My granddaughter kept saying, "Come on up to our room so we can play, Grandma!" The washer and dryer were a welcome sight, as we had been on the road for a week by the time we got there. I quickly washed a couple of loads of clothes, and we were good to go! And, you wouldn't believe how well labeled everything was. The light switches, the drawers, the cupboards - everything! Very helpful in a big house! There are more dishes, pots and pans, appliances, serving dishes, baking pans, roasting forks, etc. there than I have at home. Even a coffee grinder, which my son loved after getting some coffee beans at the Hoodsport Coffee Co.! There was plenty of space in the large living room for everyone to sit (and my son to lay down) and walk around, even with toys all over the floor! They furnished numerous brochures about the area, which we checked often. The IGA grocery store is very close, and had everything we needed. The kids loved being on the beach collecting rocks and shells. And it was great watching the tide come in and go out (we don't have tides in MN). It was amazing to see the difference between high and low tide. Jim is the perfect host! I'm sure I bugged him too much with questions, etc. before we got there, and I even accidentally called him once, but he was very gracious about it. We spent a lot of time sitting on the deck - also generously furnished with 2 picnic tables, 4 comfy chairs, a gas grill, and a smaller table with 4 chairs. We could have easily brought 4 more people with us! And there is also a fire pit on the beach, with chairs and wood galore, so we roasted marshmellows and made smores one night. We had beautiful weather while we were there, which made it even more enjoyable. The view was spectacular! There was heavy fog one morning, and it was wondrous watching the sun peak through it and burn off. Took lots of pictures! Thanks, Jim and family, for a wonderful vacation! Wish we'd stayed longer!
