Thanks to Joe, for sharing this beautiful property with us! He's a great host and very responsive from the time we booked 6 months earlier to the day we left! The VRBO description listed and great pictures tells it all! Loved my mornings on the patio, coffee in-hand, enjoying the quiet time of the tranquil water and nature all around. The soaring eagles, seals and deer are definitely there to see. The home is spacious and open allowing everyone to visit between kitchen, living and dining rooms. And, the 2 master suites have sitting areas should you want to retreat. Beautiful views from almost every window. The kitchen is well stocked and has about any appliance and ample amenities to cook for our family of seven. We enjoyed the BBQ most evenings. Winding down the day after dinner and watching the sunsets from the large hot tub that sits out overlooking the water was incredible. We could not have asked for more beautiful weather this mid-July. The adults launched their personal kayaks and paddle boards off the shore. We did have 2 young children 3 and 6 yrs and were supervised on the lower bank at water's edge during low tide. It is not a sandy beach for children to swim; however, there are swimmable sandy beaches and lakes nearby. The ferries are easy commutes to enjoy all the sites of Seattle by car or walk-ons. A day trip to the quaint Viking town of Poulsbo was fun. Lots of good memories were made! This is a MUST-book property to enjoy!
