About Yvonne
Fun family of four - Yvonne, Ron, Wyatt and Wilhelmine (Willie). We live and work in the Seattle area and love coming to Ocean Shores for weekend and holiday escapes. We turned our home into a vacation rental to cover costs and all profits go to helping us send our oldest child to college. In the process, we have discovered all the positives of helping travelers have an amazing weekend or vacation experience. We make a lot of really nice connections with people and their families.
Yvonne purchased this house in 2015
Why Yvonne chose Ocean City
We bought this property for the beautiful, quiet and very private natural surroundings and easy access to the beach. This is a great spot to bird watch and listen to the waves out on the deck. The house is close to the spectacular beauty of the Olympic Peninsula and Rain Forest. We also love to cozy up in front of the fireplace with a good book or movie.
What makes this house unique
Privacy, quiet and nature surround this property - making it a relaxing retreat. Somehow this home remains warm and cozy, but still easily accommodates a family gathering for a gourmet meal. We have a well-appointed kitchen for preparing any kind of meal. If cooking is not your thing, it's a short drive into town for some local seafood or a Celtic feast at Galway Bay. In addition to our cozy fireplace, we have over 200 DVDs in our library for all ages to enjoy.
