Property was very clean, and had everything we needed for a short stay. We especially enjoyed the ping pong table, and a visiting kitty who checked on us every day. Nice outdoor spaces too, we had a bonfire one nite and it was very easy to do. Walkable to downtown and the harbor.

Great place to stay
Lots of room. Close to downtown and all the activities there. We were a little disappointed that the TV had no hookup to any cable network where we could see certain Olympic events. If it weren't for our grandson having a laptop along, we would have missed our favorite Olympic events.

A very ;happy place
We have stayed in other VRBO homes, which we enjoyed, but this one is definitely our favorite. It is spacious, well furnished, and the lower level was perfect for our teenagers. We definitely plan to reserve the home again.

Amazing Family Vacation
We absolutely loved our stay here. The property was even better than we imagined. Supplied with everything that my family needed and very clean. We gathered for some of our meals here and had plenty of room for other family members staying elsewhere. The location is perfect. The host had great communication and check-in was a breeze. We would highly recommend it to others. We cannot wait to come back!

We hope to return
We absolutely loved this property. It had everything we needed, was very clean, and the location was perfect. Only a block and a half from 61, it was easy to walk anywhere we needed to go. The fisherman in our group did not have far to go for great places to Steelhead as well. We found all of the furniture to be very comfortable and enjoyed meals out on the back shed/patio. It was also nice to find a fire pit there even though we didn’t get a chance to use it. They had a really nice variety of games, puzzles, and DVDs for adults and children. We definitely hope to stay here again.

My wife, our dog, and I all enjoyed our stay in this VRBO. When you want to rent some place where it checks all the boxes then go here. Clean, comfortable and with attention to detail - this place had it all. We especially loved having some entertaining games of ping pong! Our thanks to Nancy and Matt!!

This VRBO is great. It is our second stay and it would be our first choice if we come back to the area. Kids love the ping pong table. The house is cozy and inviting. The amenities are great and the house functions perfectly for a family. Could not even suggest an improvement in all fairness! Well done!
