The weather cooperated beautifully for our family gathering over the extended Thanksgiving weekend. We enjoyed walking on the beach, gathering around the propane firepit on the deck, fishing on the Illahee dock, and observing the bald eagle and seal on the pier. Inside, the younger guests loved the air hockey table and the space set up for board games. We brought collapsible tables and chairs to augment the kitchen dining area and everyone fit perfectly. Our family loved our stay...thank you for making your home available to rent.

Wonderful weekend.

Our family loved staying at this home! Beautiful without being stuffy-our family felt comfortable relaxing and playing there all weekend. Pros Play area was downstairs (kids got to have fun away from us parents, but we were close enough that we could easily listen for them. Comfort! The beds, couches, outdoor seating were in good condition and so comfortable! Clean! No dust, mold, or gunk to be found. Kitchen: well stocked (both with equipment and pantry staples) Labels: we've stayed in several vrbos and etc over the years. This one gets the award for most organized. Light switches and cupboards were labeled very well. It made staying in an unfamiliar place so convenient. THE VIEW! We live on a greenbelt facing a forest in our real lives. Waking up to a sunrise on the water was such a treat! We lucked out on our stay-there was a harvest moon and clear skies both nights. Beautiful! This could be viewed as a pro or a con-I didn't realize how close we were to a public dock. Staying in late Sept. it wasn't busy at all, and my kids LOVED watching the seal, crabs, and multitudes of jellyfish from the dock. Security: great exterior lighting and locks that helped us feel safe staying somewhere unfamiliar. It was easy to keep the home as warm or as cool as we wanted. Street parking is limited. However, they have a large 1 car garage for renters to use. With two adults it's pretty handy to have the passenger adult hop out and open/close the door

Great house with great views and water access. Stayed for 2 days as a home base for a weekend golf trip. House was comfortable and had all the right amenities. Clean, comfortable, and cozy. Host was very communicative and responsive. Would definitely recommend and/or stay again.

Stayed here for a long weekend here with my wife, my son, and his family. 7 total people. The house was just right for this size group and could easily accommodate a few more. Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and a well equipped kitchen. The house was very nicely decorated with comfortable furniture. The house has direct waterfront, but sits high on the hill with great views from all the windows and decks. The town dock is directly in front and our grandkids were in heaven - fishing all day. There are a couple of kayaks which were fun. We had no complaints at all, but we needed to contact the owners with a few questions and they were very quick to respond. Finally, we were pleasantly surprised in general. Most places you rent have very flattering photos but the reality is a bit less. In this case the house was better than the photos. Recommended!

This home was the perfect setting for our family reunion. We were a multigenerational group. Everyone loved the views (it made it hard to leave the property), the home was clean and very well stocked. We took advantage of the fire table, the kayaks and the air hockey & games and enjoyed the location-- a 20 minute drive to charming Poulsbo, where we were attending a wedding. Hope to return if we are in the area again.

The view from this Bremerton home is stunning! Easy access to Seattle via ferry. Lots of space for 4 adults and two teens. Kitchen had most everything we needed to cook meals (we did purchase a baking sheet which we left in the property.) We appreciated the spices, condiments, and cooking oils that were left and used them. Comfortable beds and large couch upstairs. A large family preceded our stay and the garbage and recycling was overflowing and the kitchen needed more cleaning. Our host was quick to respond to our concerns and found a solution for our garbage. Her solution for the additional cleaning was for us to hire her house cleaner. We chose to clean the kitchen ourselves. There is only one television (downstairs) in the home which wasn’t an issue since we had fabulous weather but another tv could be helpful on a rainy day. Overall we enjoyed the views and the home with the exception of the minor inconveniences mentioned above. The owner shared that it’s a new rental and wants feedback for improvements and wants to improve the guest experience. I’m certain this property is on its way to outstanding and would stay again!

The private beach was amazing! We spent most of our time kayaking, and playing in the ocean. When we weren’t enjoying the home, we were a ferry ride away from Seattle, which was so convenient and so fun for the family. We enjoyed the home and all the amenities it offered. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to have fun.

View was very nice from this older home. Great having fire place on balcony.

We all loved the house, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It felt like home when we walked in! Lots of open space for our things, but also many amenities provided. The fireplace in living room was used often and fire pit outside was a great place to gather at night. Everyone from the 4-year-old to the 64-year-old enjoyed many games of air hockey! The house has its own private beach so watching the tide come in and out was a must, as well as walking on the rocky beach and looking for interesting shells. Sunrise every morning is seen right from the deck, so beautiful! Would definitely stay there again!

Owner was very responsive to inquiries. Home is on the water with beautiful views. Beds and furnishings were comfortable. Would recommend the place as a great family getaway.

The property was great. The large windows on both levels showed awesome water and Bainbridge Island views. Overall the property was very roomy and comfortable with excellent amenities.

We had a fantastic time at this property during our long weekend. The view is breathtaking from the moment you enter the house, and the interior is extremely comfortable. Shikha was an excellent host; she was responsive, accommodating, and friendly! Her attention to detail is evident throughout the house, including the accommodations, games and amenities. We can't wait to go back!
