Beautiful sunsets and maybe a wardrobe to Narnia?

We booked this property at the last minute as an alternative to camping in the rain. :-) And we were amazed at the beautiful historic home, with fantastic upgrades (my son could not believe the kitchen ovens), and the master bathroom shower is amazing with a view of the water from the shower. The ceramic hot tub in the lower solarium was exceptional. We enjoyed the kayaks! Next time we'll get out on the tennis courts too. The property is beautifully maintained and one of the cleanest homes we've ever rented. If you choose to stay here, it will be one of your most memorable trips yet.

Great Property

We really loved this property. It was chilly - the last week of December, but still we used the kayaks and enjoyed watching the sea lions and seals that were in the bay. The house was homey and had plenty of dishes, and cooking dishes for our needs. There were 5 adults and 2 kids and we had more than enough room. We used the fireplace and the hot tub and loved both. The beds were comfy. I would highly recommend this property to those looking for a get-away that is away from the crowds, but close enough to make a day trip into the city to see the sights.

Great, quiet location. Charming older home. Needs a good deep clean.

Wisteria Hollow is a quiet, awesome location on the water. The property is a large lot with beachfront, lawn, fruit trees, patio covered with grape arbor, and beautiful flowers. The house Is an old home with beautiful woodwork and a nice kitchen. We were surprised upon arriving that the house wasn't cleaner, especially with all of the rules attached with staying there. If it were cleaned up then it would be a first class property.

Lovely place for a family reunion

We came in 2007 for my mom's 70th birthday, and loved it so much, we came back 10 years later for her 80th. The kitchen is AWESOME to cook for a large group. We had 23 people between those who slept over and those who came for the day. There are multiple buildings on the property that can rent separately or together, so there is room for all. We were a little disappointed that the hot tub was not working, but the staff was very accommodating for our request for late check out. Some young adults enjoyed the kayaking, and we had excellent photo ops for the group.

Right on the water!

Wisteria Hollow is such a fun Family reunion spot. We booked all three of the houses for a family trip and enjoyed each one and especially the yard and beach. Fun activities: kayaks (they are part of your rental) Fires on the beach each night "looking for sharks" Actually seals but the kids had fun with it. The house is an architectural classic. Not sure what but it is beautiful and historic looking. Everything was clean and the beds were comfy. Also Ive stayed at some of the owners other properties. never disappointed

Perfect Family & Friends Gathering Place on Puget Sound

The gracefully elegant surround of Wisteria Hollow was both peaceful and functional for gathering members of our daughter's wedding. The Victorian home has been polished with years of use and authenticity, reflecting a time only found in the past. We enjoyed serving guests from the huge kitchen, dinning under the grape arbor, lounging on the balconies, playing basketball on the court, and paddling out on the sound. The wedding party rehearsed on the grounds and were photographed in the pretty master suite. A highlight is the glass shower in the master with views of the tides and an ever present eagle. The location's ambience was magical.

Victorian

This is the second year in a row that my family has stayed 4 nights at the Victorian in Home, Washington. There were 8 adults 2 three year olds and one infant. The grounds and location are great for our group. Our 30 something children love the pickleball court and we all love Puget Sound. We generally bring our own kayaks and stand-up paddleboards but knowing that there are boats available is a plus. I was raised on Puget Sound so it's like going home for me. The house is very interesting for its history and the wood and decor are nice. On this particular visit the weather was unusually warm. The AC units were appreciated in two of the bedrooms, however, the master bedroom, which faces west and has no curtains, was extremely warm. A floor unit would work well in that room. The Wi-Fi is quite weak ( our son-in-law is enrolled in Nurse Practitioner school and did struggle with internet speeds. Overall the property is very relaxing and we would recommend it for the peace and quiet.

Hard to find without a smart phone.

We would have liked blinds on the master bedroom windows facing the water. Also the living room French doors and windows facing the water would have been better with blinds. The a/c on the third floor wasn’t working the room was 99 degrees when we got to the house.

What an amazing home to spend our girls trip at. My daughter picked this home for her graduation/18th birthday trip. It did not disappoint!! The charm of this place was perfect! It was very clean and had everything we could have needed! We even got to see seals, a sea otter and deer! Would 110% recommend to anyone and would go again!

Beautiful home

Had a family get together for a long weekend of fun. House and property was beautiful! Went kayaking and saw a handful of seals! Great kitchen for a big group we all took part in making a family dinner. Pickleball, hottub and firepit all utilized over the weekend for a very memorable trip! Only con I would bring up is a lot of stink bugs in the upstairs bedroom we had to keep cleaning up for the kids. Other than that, had a lovely weekend and would stay again!!

Great location with lots of Character

Not sure if it’s the location or Victorian home, but this place has lots of character and charm. Rented the home for my wife’s birthday weekend with a couple of friends. We ended up hanging out under the covered porch and enjoyed storm watching and seeing the seals play in the sound. No issues with the home and everything was as advertised. Hot tub was great and helped us warm up after walking the property and searching for sea shells. Would definitely stay again and would bring dinner fixings to really test out the restaurant style kitchen appliances this home has.

Beautiful location and comfortable stay

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The views were breathtaking and the property had everything we needed. The only issues we had with the stay were with 1) kayaks and 2) hot tub. On our Day 2 at the property, the sun finally came out and we decided to take the kayaks into the water. We used two double kayaks. After we rowed for 5 minutes, we noticed that one of the kayaks started filling with water - potentially due to a hole. We had to quickly row back. We understand that a lot of guests use the kayaks, and it is difficult to track them - but definitely a safety issue. After coming back after our kayaking adventure- we decided to use the hot tub. The water was really hot and we tried every way available in the manual to decrease the temperature, and it would not budge. We messaged the number provided with this issue - but we did not hear back till hours later (about potential heater issues). So we gave up on that. Other than that - the fall colors were stunning and we had a fun stay.

Needs some attention

Beautiful home and location, but it needs some maintenance, updating, TLC and a REAL good overall cleaning! Lots of cobwebs in every room and an overall unclean feeling! Basement has an overwhelming musty Oder, making hot tub use unenjoyable :( Even with the let downs, the view from the deck and the peace and quiet were amazing!

Incredible piece of property

We spent a long weekend with another family and our jaw dropped at the stunning beauty of the setting. We sat on the porch, watching our kids play in the water, ate oysters from the beach (I don’t recommend this), played intense games of pickle ball and left refreshed and rejuvenated. Thanks for the great weekend away!

Seaside Victorian Main House

We, all 11 of us had a wonderful family reunion because of this fabulous WA home!! This place is BIG and has nature right out the back door. We loved the gardens, the kyacks, the pickle ball court the hot tub and all the nature of the ocean. We watched deer, bald eagles, sea otters, seals, herrins, and hummingbirds. There was no need to even go out to eat as the kitchen is perfect for cooking and the house amazing. The woodwork and architecture of this historic Victorian, 4 floor mansion is something to see and live in! We can't recommend it enough!!

The house and grounds are wonderful. It is so peaceful and relaxing. We spend the entire weekend at the house so much to do and explore there was no reason to go anywhere else. From kayak on the sound to sitting on the porch swing looking at the water, there is something for everyone at this house. The only issue we had was the refrigerator temperature was an issue. Hoping that can be addressed soon. It truly is a great place to stay.

We had an amazing stay at this property. We will definitely want to book the place again!

We arrived to a beautiful gated property and even with multiple vehicles we had room to park. It is a tight driveway so our bigger rigs were able to get in but I wouldn't recommend any super large vehicles. The place had instructions for entry and once we had arrived it was very easy to get into the home. We stayed in the main victorian home and it was so nice and relaxing. The house had a ton of character and the grounds were beautiful! Highly recommend staying if you are looking for a place for peace and tranquility.

Great location

A beautiful Victorian home, in a great location. We had a few issues with the amenities such as leaky kayaks, 2/4 available boats leaked and were not useable. Also, there were staple items missing from the kitchen that we typically expect to see in a house rental. This included salt, sugar, plastic wrap, ice machine cups and mugs that we felt comfortable taking outside. The cleanliness of the property was also disappointing. Surfaces were clean, but floors and stairs had substantial dirt and dust bunnies in corners and under furniture. For such a high cleaning fee I would have expected better. Hot tub was also finicky, but it worked and we were happy to use it. Overall we would recommend this place, the beach was great and so were the oysters. The house and supplies were a letdown.
