About this house rental
Description from a Guest:
Wow! So where to I begin…the home is spectacular with rooms and windows that showcase Pudget Sound. The surroundings were tranquil and lovely with abundant wildlife, spectacular flowers, lovely plants and trees, splendid views of the Olympic Mountains, rolling tides going in and out, and sunrises and sunsets displaying vibrant colors! We saw a bald eagle, seal, emerald duck, song birds, and a plump bunny all from the decks! The house is decorated nicely, but simply and tastefully. The kitchen offered everything for dining in with two seating areas (dining room and breakfast nook) plus an outdoor table on the deck. The large tv and rounded sofa lounger seating are was great for movies or catching up on favorite shows. The decks offered several seating areas with awesome views. I would return in a heart beat!
Experience a picturesque Pacific Northwest retreat. We provide a telescope for you to enjoy the wildlife around you including majestic bald eagles and playful seals.

Ratings and reviews
4.0 / 5.0
The check in process was easy. We were texted entry instructions and our code well in advance of our arrival. We arrived at night and the address was hard to locate - its on the little stone pillar on the right side of the drive and on the garage but the garage address is not visible from the street. The house is a little dated in spots but was adequate for our group of 6 adults and the pictures are accurate. Its clear that there are uogrades and maintenance happening around the home as there was a ladder in the yard and supplies in the garage. I gave cleanliness 4 stars as the shower/grout in the master bath needs a deep cleaning. The crystals on the dining room chandelier also need cleaning. These were not things that would warrant the owner to come out and remedy during my stay but wanted to mention. A rating of 4 on communication was because Linda was communicating with me at the beginning of my stay but did not answer me on our check out day.
Try the local Flame Burger for a quick bite! They have great burgers as well as multiple flavors of shakes!! We also ate at Jimmy Mac’s Roadhouse which was really tasty as well!
The goal was to bring 2 families together for a couple days to have a good time and that’s exactly what happened so thanks Linda for offering this house with those fantastic views!
3.0 / 5.0
Linda was a great hostess. She communicated quickly and went out of her way to make any issues we had with the place right.
The view is beautiful. The house is really spacious and livable, and the kitchen has nice cookware and lots of dinnerware which made a family dinner possible.
Two things I noticed in other reviews that I ignored but were a main reason I wouldn’t return, was the beds and the driveway. Both the main bedroom and the smaller bedroom had mattresses that sunk in the center, offering no support. My parents spent the whole night fighting to keep from rolling into each other… and they both weigh less than 130lb. I’m a big lady - and the queen bed did the same to me… but I often expect that at my size.
The driveway is treacherous because it is lined with cinder blocks to protect the lawn… but there is no room to turn around. And the main road has high speed traffic around a curved bend that is impossible to back into safely. So the truck was a challenge and my van got scraped getting out of the drive.
We encountered a sewage smell in the home but Linda quickly responded to that with baking soda treatment every 8 hours until it resolved. She also gave a small nominal refund of $200 which was a nice gesture - but my mom was gagging from the sewage smell most of the visit. For this reason, I would take the chance of staying there again. I’m assuming this was a common issue since there was a 5lb bag of baking soda under the kitchen sink, specifically 4 this

This house is gorgeous, spacious, and very close to all sorts of restaurants and stores in Federal Way (about a 10 min drive, max). We stayed there on a whim to escape the smoky air from the fires on the east side of the state. The weather was perfect, the deck views were stellar, watching the birds was fun, and the amenities of the entire house were spot on.
Some things to know- the bedrooms are all downstairs, with a large master room with en suite restroom, and one other full restroom, along with 2 spacious bedrooms and a large family room where there is additional sleeping space. If you have older teens who like their own space, this is great because it affords MANY places to rest and relax. My parents (ages 80) were OK with the stairs to go down to the bedroom/en suite, but for those who can't do stairs well, this may not be the best place for you.
Upstairs is all about living space. There is a half bath, and a lovely den/study right off the front door of the house, plenty of sofa-space for watching TV, great dining space.
There is plenty of bedding available, and plenty of towels, and even provided soaps, shampoos, and what not.
There were so many extra plates, bowls, and flatware- very nice to not feel like we were constantly doing dishes.
The house is so lovely that we brought food in to enjoy it there each night of our stay. My mother absolutely raved about this house also!! The downstairs stayed so cool- no need to use AC at all!!

The house was just beautiful, with an amazing view! Linda was so nice and very accommodating. Was such a wonderful trip and staying in such a lovely home made it that much more special!
5.0 / 5.0
It's a very nice, private house, in a quiet neighborhood, by the lake. The house was clean and had everything we needed. It doesn't have direct access to the lake. We loved the kitchen/dinning, but there are no window covers, so sunsets and sundowns although beautiful, were a bit blinding!
The most complicated thing for me was the driveway, it's narrow so it was difficult to get out with ease.
My recommendations: place some shades on the far end of the dinning area windows, in the kitchen, to give the option of closing during those glaring sunsets/sundowns and make the driveway a bit wider to make it easier to get out, so folks won't have the need to drive over the grass.
Otherwise, we had a great stay, thank you for the accomodations!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. From enjoying sunsets to watching bald eagles fishing our trip could not have been more perfect.

We had a great time at this home, we spent so much time on the deck and patio watching ducks, seals and eagles and THE SUNSET, wow, incredible. Thanks for a memorable trip!
5.0 / 5.0
Easy check in. Communication with the host was great. No issues during our stay. The host supplied everything needed. It was clean, but a little dated. The layout of the house was very nice and roomy. The views are amazing! The huge windows and style of the house made for a very zen feel. The only complaint we had was that the King bed was very hard and terribly uncomfortable. Aside from that, it was a very nice stay.
5.0 / 5.0
We flew in for a quick weekend to attend a wedding. This house is exactly as described and accommodated our large family perfectly! We enjoyed the deck and view tremendously. We saw many harbor seals and even a bald Eagle. We took some great family photos under the stunning tree in the front yard.
The only flaw was no soap in any of the bathrooms. The only thing supplied was hand sanitizer next to each sink except for the kitchen. So we all shared the kitchen soap for 3 days.

This was our 3rd time staying at this property and Linda the owner is wonderful to work with. The house is right on the Puget Sound with unbelievable views. We ate breakfast every morning watching the seals play down in the water and the eagles flying over the cove. The home is an absolute treasure!!

Had a very nice time on our visit to Federal Way. The place has unobstructed views of Puget Sound. It’s pretty quiet. Minor road noise. Its kitchen is well stocked. It’s clean. Property manager is responsive. Lost internet service the morning of our departure which was inconvenient. It came back on just as we were leaving which allowed us to check flight status. Otherwise a great value for the price. I hope to return.

What a great place for our family to gather. Easy drive from SeaTac airport. Stunning view. Comfortable, spacious and cozy seating for all of us. We all enjoyed cooking together in the big kitchen.
My grandkids loved spotting the big ships. We enjoyed using the provided binoculars to watch the eagle pair come and go from their nest. Iconic PNW location.
Thank you!

This place is incredible. This trip was planned in less than a week and and this home was booked the day before we arrived. My 4 kids and I stayed here. The host was so quick in responding and made sure everything was perfect for our arrival, and it was!!!!! We loved everything about the home the views and the property. My boyfriend flew out to visit his son at the Bremerton naval base and is a complete skeptic on renting these vacation homes and boy did this home change his mind. He wished he hadn’t rented a hotel. I love that our stay was beautiful (but too short) to say the least. We will definitely be back! Thank you for everything and especially the memories I was able to make with my children!!!

This house is in a beautiful location with stunning views. Shopping is nearby and so is everything else you might want to see in the Seattle area. The house is very spacious and is very spacious. The bedrooms are downstairs with a bonus sitting room. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of pillows. There are plenty of towels and if you were to actually run out, there is a washer and dryer one can use to do laundry.
The host Linda is very responsive and very kind. We had a family emergency and because of it, we needed to extend our stay. She was so helpful through the process and even blocked some time for us just in case we needed to stay even longer. She checked in with me every day to see how our daughter was doing and was so empathetic. We have stayed at many different places, but Linda was the best host we ever dealt with.
I highly recommend this place and we will definitely stay here again when we are in the area.

My family & I stayed at this waterfront vacation property for a week. We had a wonderful time! The home was as described and the view — oh, the view!! — was spectacular! There was plenty of room for us whether we were together at the dining table, or taking a quiet break in different rooms.

We travelled as a family of 6 and spent 5 days in the Seattle area pre-cruise. This was a fantastic property and meet our needs and expectations perfectly. The home was very well maintained , clean and tidy however the star of the show was the view. We could easily have sat and looked at this all day and evening. Ideal location for seeing the sights nearby and only 20 mins from airport and 35-40 mins to Seattle. If we’re fortunate to be staying in this area again in future, we will definitely be booking with Linda, who was a great host.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Puget Sound. The sunsets were amazing. Fireworks for the Fourth were visible all across the water. The house was big enough for our family. The beds were comfortable. The home was stocked with everything you need…just bring your clothes and toothbrush. Linda's communication was proactive and very helpful. The only warning is that travel to Seattle and Tacoma took longer than I had anticipated because of all the traffic. I would highly recommend this house for a relaxing stay on the water.

The location and house are great! Beautiful views, great deck, kitchen very well stocked, rooms/beds comfortable-it's a super place-3 or 4th time we've stayed while visiting friend in Federal Way who no longer travels. Six of us who've known each other since junior high travel to see him-we're all over 70. We look forward to staying there again next year!

This is a wonderful place in a beautiful and safe location. The host leaves a helpful binder with instructions. The entry key code system and WiFi worked well. We enjoyed watching the eagles and seals from the deck. We highly recommend this house. This is not a complaint - just awareness for folks who might have trouble with stairs and balance - the bedrooms are all down stairs from the main floor living area and there are no safety grab bars in either shower. The sheets are washed in a strong smelling detergent (Tide?) and some people have sensitivity to smells. We solved by washing the sheets in an unscented detergent. Thank you for a wonderful visit.

The view is gorgeous, the house gracious, spacious and well-appointed. It is easy to relax, lovely to watch the spectacular sunsets. The family could come together and hang out as a group and also find places to rest and spend quiet moments alone. The owner is delightful, responsive and kind. This is great place to stay.

This is a treasure of a house! The views are stunning and we had a pod of seals playing in the water right below the house that kept us entertained! Brand new mattress was much appreciated and we loved cooking in the kitchen overlooking the Puget Sound. We will be back - the owners really do an amazing job with this home!

We recently made a family trip to federal way to visit family and stayed at this beautiful property in dash point area. The property is gorgeous, spacious and very well kept.
Communicating with Linda was easy breezy and she was more than accommodating for an early check-in request. We had everything we needed.
Being along the water was serene and very relaxing. We got a couple breaks of sun which made it that much more enjoyable.
Our kids (6 and 4) enjoyed the games and space downstairs and my oldest loved peering through the provided binoculars at the wildlife and water.
Overall we definitely would stay here again and especially in the warmer months to enjoy the patio and bbq grill.

The property was warm and inviting. Beautiful view and boosted endless space. It was perfect for our multiple needs - office work space, family dining, space for kids to play and socialize, and massive, modern kitchen. It was perfect for our family gathering for surprise birthday party. Host was responsive, friendly, and accommodating. Defiantly a 5+ star experience

Our family of 4 stayed here over Thanksgiving and it was perfect. The view from the kitchen was amazing and made the cook's job so enjoyable. The kitchen had everything we needed (including a potato masher). The beds and rooms were clean and had extra blankets to snuggle under watching TV. We saw seals, a Great Blue Heron and a Bald Eagle! Thanks for providing the binoculars.
The rooms are not as big as they seem on the photos (e.g. the office) but they are plenty big. The owner is super easy to contact and check-in/check-out was simple.
Thanks again!

Happy birthday to my husband, as we visited our Grandchildren/Kids in Seattle. Our Grandchildren’s first Halloween Trick or Treating, as well. Our kids/Grandkids only stayed one night out of 3, but this home is large enough and comfortable for 10. There is an office and a playroom/TV room downstairs and 3 bedrooms (one has a crib and two double beds. Most of the sofa’s pull out to become a bed. which would be nice if you have teenagers or other adults in your group.
The views are so nice. Waking up each day to the water is just calming. It is peaceful and perfect, all at the same time. It felt like home. The owner Linda is very nice and was available anytime we needed her or just to chat to say we are all good.
If you want a vacation house on the water, this is it.
The decks are large enough to have the family eat outside and a grass area for the children to play.
We definitely will be back and looking forward to it!

Beautiful home with such an amazing view!! Accommodations were wonderful. Our only issue was the beds desperately need to be replaced. The box springs seemed to be broken and the mattresses were very soft and old.

Lovely views of the sound
We enjoyed our stay, but were not able to use the outside as much as we would have liked due to the rain. But great views of the sound! We saw sea otters playing below us several times, and had some great sunsets. Good places to eat are close by!

Visiting Grandma and Grandpa
Federal Way is a perfect location to travel to either Seattle or Tacoma. The home is beautifully situated in a peaceful location with a spectacular view. We appreciated the host’s prompt replies before arrival and did not have any problems once we arrived.
Our family, including 4 young children were safe and easily entertained in the spacious environment. We would return to this location again without hesitation. Thank you for the wonderful stay!
