Above Puget Sound
The property was very pleasant, clean, with thoughtful touches. The owner was very thorough with detailed orientation to the site. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to change housing locations after the first night. Although communication was good with the owners about this, I was disappointed that I was only reimbursed $100 out of $669.13 that I paid for four nights. I would have hoped that hosts and VRBO would have more compassionate and humanistic responses to peoples' individual circumstances.

Loved our stay at Madrona Beach
Everything you need for a weekend getaway. Beautiful property and friendly owners. We were welcomed with fresh baked cookies and departed with an awesome breakfast of quiche and homemade bread. It made us feel like we were at home. Lots of fun things to do in the area.
Beautiful, natural setting. View of bay was fantastic

First off the owner not manager meets you outside with cookies which was nice and delicious, but then walks you into the apartment and spends 20 minutes explaining the dos and don'ts as well as all things to do and not do in the area. I feel the information provided was a bit misleading on the listing, I searched for a romantic getaway. This is an apartment above the garage at someones home. The
private deck looks at the home of the owner. there is a walking path that seperates the house from the garage. The homeowner was there the whole time. The beach is private and farmed for clams. So no proper access for the public. The bed is very outdated. It felt like we were laying on springs and could feel every movement. There is only a TV in the bedroom. It is right on the corner and can hear traffic. The fire pit in not welcoming to use. There was a strange high pitch sound that went off both at 4am and 5pm. Having issues with large ants, had to kill several. I have very sensitive skin to fragrances, there were 2 smellies in the bathroom that caused the toilet paper to take on that smell and caused me major discomfort to the point that we left a day early knowing it was non-refundable. The fabric softener was so strong that our pillows smelled like it once home. This would be a good stay for a passing through maybe for one night, but not our ideal for a few nights getaway.

Quaint property, great hosts
The property is a short walk from the Sound with a nice view. It was clean and the perfect size for the two of us. The host gave us ideas on where to go and what to do. The communication was prompt, and the cookies were delicious! We truly enjoyed our time there and recommend this property!

Wow! Great place to stay!
From check-in (greeted with a plate of cookies) to check-out, our stay was fabulous! John and Julia have created a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere, with attention to detail. We especially loved sitting on the deck with a view of the sound and exploring areas around Olympia. Great place to stay!

Beautiful little gem on the Sound
The hosts were wonderful, the property clean and comfortable. I was in town for work related reasons and really appreciated the wifi, desk, and ample kitchen table. I sat on the deck while working in the evening and enjoyed the view, the breeze, the gentle splashing of the fountains, and the lovely flowerbeds. This property is on my list of places to revisit!

Gracious hosts with so many little extras.
And so many bigger extras. The most comfortable bed. All of the kitchen and bathroom extras. They even got permission from us to enter and open the windows one very hot after noon.
Bring your slippers. The hard wood floor needs to be protected.
John and Julia are the best.

great place with beautiful garden and water view
Our long weekend at this property was great! Great size for 2 people, comfortable bed, kitchen had everything we needed and the plants outside were blooming making it just beautiful with the water view. The location is only 10 minutes from Olympia so easy to get everywhere yet felt like we were in the country. The hosts were nothing short of terrific!

Peaceful Retreat
I booked this property because I was looking for a peaceful place to get away from my 'To Do' list so I could think and reflect, read, and write. I was looking for a view of water or mountains and this spot was perfect. I went with my gut feeling after I saw the photos and I have no regrets! It was perfect. The gas fireplace makes it very cozy on rainy days. There's instant hot water to make tea and a Keurig to make coffee. It's incredibly comfortable. And, as others have noted, Julia makes wonderful baked goods and shares them with guests! I highly recommend this rental!
