The house was perfect for a Girls' Weekend away. Olympia was delightful, and the house and host were perfection.

This space was perfect for our stay in Northwest Olympia. Everything in Olympia and surrounding towns is within a 10-15 minute drive. We packed this place to capacity, filling every spot in every bed, and it was still comfortable. The open first floor balanced off with the large basement room, along with the hot tub and porches, allows for many sitting spaces.
Communication with the owner/manager was wonderful.
The worst part about this stay was the surprise charge that showed up deep in the booking process for booking a larger-sized group, as mentioned on other reviews. Everything else was great. I don't think you'll find many better options if you want to be near the heart of Olympia.

The house was perfect for our stay visiting family. It had plenty of room for everyone to have privacy. The location was perfect and easy to get to. The house was clean and they even had flowers / wine for check in.
We would definitely rent again!

This property was amazing! It was pristinely clean, spacious enough for our large group & the location was perfect in a quiet neighborhood with many sites just minutes away. The place was stocked with everything you need. There was even a portable crib & high chair for my 8 month old granddaughter. Oh! And the hot tub was a plus! We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay!

A group of friends that race cars had an event nearby in Shelton. This home was a great place to stay for our group (several couples) due to its multiple bedrooms. House was nicely renovated and has a wonderful kitchen. We would definitely stay here again!

This lovely property was welcoming and so thoughtfully furnished. The location was perfect for our needs.
In seeking a property, we wanted something with minimal stairs. From the description, the living area and two of the five bedrooms were on one level. I was disappointed to find that the kitchen and living room were on separate levels.

Me and bunch of my old college friends all finally comitted to having a little reunion. We all went to Evergreen and some still live in Oly, some in Portland, some in Seattle. It was great to get the gang back together, visit old haunts, discover some new ones, then come back to a hot tub and a comfy couch.

We stayed here for a long weekend and the house was fantastic. It’s very spacious and well lit. We had two families with younger children. The kids slept downstairs and adults upstairs. It was very clean, well organized and a lot of attention to detail. Check in and out extremely easy and it’s in a beautiful, quiet residential neighborhood. Would stay here again and recommend to others.

Our niece and her family stayed at this VRBO. A group of us went in on it. It was perfect for them. Very nice space, comfortable beds. A fun place to gather the day after the big TG meal.
My only complaint was that even tho it has 5 bedrooms, we were charged extra per person for having more than 4 in the group. When I asked about this the owner said it was to encourage smaller groups to stay there. We have never encountered this in many years of using VRBO. Regardless, I highly recommend it.

The house was the perfect size for us. We enjoyed the deck and the hot tub. And, as in any good home, the kitchen was the heart of it. Ample space for us to gather there between the barstools on the large island and the big farmhouse table. Lots of thoughtful details and check in/out and communication was a breeze.

The house was very clean, tidy, organized, and comfortable. It was hot (for us) when we arrived and the basement living space was very much appreciated since there isn't A/C. The location was good, access to activities and shopping was easy and convenient. We had everything we needed from coffee and tea to laundry detergent. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, the neighbors were friendly. We would definitely stay again!

Our family attended a wedding 30 miles from this house. It was a busy weekend with the rehearsal dinner, etc. and so nice to return to this wonderful home in a quiet location!

This house has ruined me for all future stays elsewhere. Great location, super quiet neighborhood, fun hot tub, clean and spacious home, and so many extras like coffee and spices! The owner made all communication easy, this is truly a gem of a property!

Our Criteria:
7 different walks of life gathered for 5 nights, each one requiring their own space due to sleeping idealisms and a vacant restroom when duty called; I'm pleased to report this house fit and met both specifications!
People Pleasing:
In hindsight there were some minor discomforts that could easily be worked out; for instance, a "light-sleeper" would benefit from having an upstairs room due to the old school creeky Craftsman style flooring, but not the master bedroom where there's a seemingly important loud electronic device; and a menopausal sister would best be suited downstairs, due to a classic case of- heat rising.
These details are purely individual, and don't reflect the potential of this rental. I'm only mentioning it so other "people-pleasers" may perhaps "fix it, not fight it" prior to room assigning. For the super- sensitive -types, the 2 upstairs beds are memory foam, while downstairs 2 out of the 3 (-4 including trundle) beds were traditional springs; all of the beds were reported to be comfortable!!
Our Flow:
We mostly hung out in the kitchen/ dining room area, as we're mostly foodies and all things nature- Crafter's/ Artist's. The space accommodated our party of 7 beautifully! We herbal crafted teas and body scrubs by the gracious mid morning Light, conversed freely in the open concept communal space and intimately dined family style.
Looking to the Future:
We would highly recommend this space for anyone looking to release in the comforts of a home away from home! The location is easily accessible to downtown and amenities in the neighborhood, such as the food co-op, but tucked away in a respectfully quaint neighborhood with seemingly jolly neighbors. If you're considering this rental,
just rent it,
it's a crowd pleaser 🥰
Thank you for the stay and hospitality!

I rented this home to have family members come from Idaho, Oregon and parts of Washington to have a family Christmas get together a week before Christmas. House was well set up for making a great dinner, snacks and desserts. Plenty of room for sleeping and lounging around. It was a great trip overall and I recommend this home to anyone looking for a great VRBO in Olympia!

Wonderful home
Loved the space! Parking and location were excellent. Immaculate. Everything we needed for a great family weekend. Comfortable beds. Plenty of towels and linens. Great communication. Still do not understand how a 5 bedroom sleeps 10 has you pay extra fees for groups over the size of 4 individuals.

We were 6 adults who were extremely comfortable in this beautiful craftsman home. The kitchen had everything that you would need to prepare food. The house added so much to our time here

Overall, this was a great space to host our family of five, plus one relative that stopped by for a few days! Beautiful kitchen, multiple eating areas, on-site hot tub, and all the amenities a family could need. The only downside was that the remote to the Roku TV was intermittently non-responsive, which made attempting to watch anything during our downtime pretty tedious. However, Caitlin was amazingly responsive and accommodating, and stated that she would order a new a new remote once we reported this to her. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking to experience Olympia and the rest of the Pacific Northwest!

We really enjoyed our time at Oly Westside Story! House was adorable, and very roomy! We were snowed in for most of our trip, so we made the most of it by doing lots of cooking, playing games, and watching movies. Would highly recommend!
