The "Del Mar Chateau" consisted of many very large rooms with lots of futons and couches in each room. Tons of games are in most rooms, including parts of many video game consoles (didn't get a chance to try them out), and even a box of Duplos and other kid toys, which the littles loved. The space fit our 3-generation family well. We had a broken shower head, and someone came to fix it the next day. The AC worked great on the 1st and 2nd floors in the hot summer; the 3rd story was really hot, (even with the AC running and the fan they brought for us), but if you stay in the fall or spring, you should be okay. The outdoor space was great, with the gazebo (fan didn’t work), porch, play structure, and field. We weren't able to use the hot-tub, because the breaker kept tripping so it wasn't hot whenever we wanted to use it and water smelled bad. The kitchen was stocked with tons of stuff (although disorganized, a lot of expired pantry items, and non-stick pans were in rough shape). Our family really enjoyed the outdoor spaces and having space for all our family members.

The home and property were welcoming and homey. We enjoyed the hot tub and grill as well as the large dining table and lawn for games.

Our stay was perfect, great place for large groups and entertaining. This was our 2nd stay here and we loved it. Space for everyone, indoors and out, well stocked kitchen and towels too, peaceful and private but close to town...we loved it. Looking forward to staying again in the future!

Stayed here for the 4th of July weekend with some friends and it was an awesome stay. Plenty of space for everyone, great outdoor spaces for some grilling and lawn games, and close enough to town to go in for lunch/dinner and hang out by the water. Would absolutely stay here again!

Absolutely beautiful place! This is a very private location in the forest. The yard was huge and we had a blast playing outdoor games. The jacuzzi was perfect for relaxing in the evening. Every room in this home is huge and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back!

Lovely and spacious house. As knitters we need lots of light. However, several of the can lights in the big room were out.

Several out-of-town family members stayed with me as we gathered for my daughter's wedding. The Grand Chateau del Mar is a beautiful property with lots of room to spread out inside and out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Large house, well furnished and maintained.
11 of us enjoyed our stay for a family reunion.
One thing to be aware of: only 1 bathroom on 2nd floor, shared by 4 bedrooms; though there is an extra bathroom on main floor. Worked fine for us, but something to be aware of.
Highly recommend! Thank you so much!

We stayed in this lovely property for a woman's retreat. This was perfect house and location for us. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. We loved the fireplaces and the fire pit, the super well appointed and equipped kitchen and the very comfortable beds and common areas. The house was warm even on cold evenings.

We had a small family reunion and the house with its large kitchen, dining, and great room worked out so well. Outside there was plenty of space for games and seating. 10 minutes outside of town so very quite.

Great big house for games and family fun.

Usually we rent a house when we need a place to stay but this time it turned out to be a home. With the well supplied kitchen, a play structure outside for kids, the piano in the living room and a great selection of games, we were at home once we came through the door.
Sometimes it’s the little things like plenty of toilet paper, laundry and dishwasher products, lots of dishes, pots and pans, bakeware and eating utensils that make feel at home during the day. At night the large bedrooms with decent beds along with the very quiet location of this home made for good sleep for all of us.
We would definitely come back again!

This was a wonderful location for our family. We had eight adults, a toddler and 7-month-old - plus of course the family dog. This house had so much room and privacy for everyone. It was spotless. It is on a huge lot. Even though there are homes nearby you feel a sense of complete privacy. At night it was quiet and tranquil. There were lots of indoor and outdoor games and toys for children. One suggestion: if you want to use the hot tub check the temperature. We waited until the last night and it wasn't hot enough. The entire family recommends this location.

We booked Erika’s beautiful home for a family reunion of 10 people and one dog. The house was more than large enough for all of us and completely outfitted. The setting is private and peaceful and you barely knew you had neighbors. Our dog loved the yard and we had many lovely evenings enjoying the hot tub, yard games and fire pit. Thank you so much, Erika, for allowing us to share your piece of heaven!

Better than presented in listing!
We rented the property for our sons Gig Harbor wedding on July 2nd, and we were traveling from LA/OC. We had our two additional adult married children, granddaughter, and best friends with us. With the 7 bedrooms, living space, library/study, open kitchen and family room the space made this perfect for our final wedding planning prep, and of course the beds for our group. Pics on VRBO don’t do the layout and space justice. It was perfect! Erika and Jay (property owners) make the check in very easy, and they’re only a few minutes away in case you need anything, and their response is phenomenal!
We did have an incident that was no one’s fault! Things happen (well pump went out while we were headed to the wedding Saturday afternoon). Erika and Jay responded immediately and kept us updated into the evening. This is something no one has control over and they handled this extremely well (no pun intended). We left on Sunday morning and they had already got the new pump, had their well guy on site, and it was a Sunday holiday weekend (July 4th).
With water out we felt bad leaving the towels and bedding not started on Sunday morning, but we talked with Erika and also wanted to make sure they didn’t have to rush to do the repairs during the holiday weekend.
This is a great property, a great owner, and we found a gem for our family and will return. This is perfect for a family!
Thank you Erika and Jay! Beautiful home.

Perfect paradise
We had 10 people who came to stay at the chateau and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We all had our own place to settle in for the week, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and we loved the close proximity to the town. The pictures online are exactly as it is in person, if not more beautiful in person. We all said that if/when we return to the PNW, we will most definitely stay here again.

Perfect weekend getaway with the family.
This place is so spacious, loved all the room it and and the hot tub was a great way to relax. They had tons of games and toys to keep everyone entertained. The host got back to me quickly when I had questions. Will definitely keep this place on our list to stay at again.

Great secluded spot with ample space
Had a great stay here with some friends. Was nice that there were so many sleeping areas so everyone could have their own room. Hot tub was great. Loved that it was close to Gig Harbor. Would stay here again!

Absolutely Amazing!
Exactly what my family and I wanted and more! The pictures do not do this place justice, it is a private wooded paradise with so many wonderful amenities and they provide you with everything you need to enjoy it all! Hot tub, fire wood for the fire pit, lighter, bbq and two propane tank, an abundance of rooms with beds, futons, bedding, and even everything you need to cook and clean! Could not have asked for a better location for our stay!
