(WE HAVE ANOTHER WATERFRONT PROPERTY ON VRBO. CHECK OUT EAGLE'S WINGS PROPERTY #1628884)

Take in the beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the Sound from the 180 degree view of the ocean while lounging in the spacious master suite with cathedral ceilings. Look to the West and find Shoofly Creek running through to meet the ocean. It is quite a sight to watch salmon make their way up the creek from the sea right in the backyard during spawning season!

Don’t forget to go out onto the waters for some fun kayaking (kayaks and life vests included), swimming, fishing and crabbing. If you re lucky, the herons , porpoises, and seals might make an appearance as well! Grab some jet ski rentals and take off into the horizons!

Take long walks along the water, shoot basketball with a water backdrop, or just soak in the Sound! Admire the seabed during low tide (small crabs, starfish, jellyfish and many more!). Have the kids ride bikes, scooters, or just run around in the fenced-off front yard along the long private driveway. Come inside for netflix, PS4, and board games or settle down into the kids reading corner.

If you're looking for a culinary experience, we have an amazing kitchen with high end appliances for you to cook up a feast! Let's not forget the outdoor BBQ if you want dinner outdoors. As the sun descends, light up a campfire just steps away from the covered backyard and treat the family to stories and s'mores.

When it s time to wind down, there are 5 bedrooms for you to choose from and 4 bathrooms + 1 powder room to refresh in. Shoofly Retreat can comfortably host up to 15 with laundry and kitchen stocked with all necessities and amenities you may need.

****please note we are now a NO SHELLFISH COLLECTION BEACH to avoid complications with property lines and also for the sustainability of our beach*****

I stayed at other beach front vacation homes, including those in CA, nothing as comparable as staying here. Docking our boat close by and we were able to enjoy tubing, swimming, site seeing, canoeing, crabbing and fishing. On land there are games for kids, wifi for movies, basketball .... Looking forward to stay here again!

Spacious, relaxing and perfect getaway!

Stayed here with friends and family for a long weekend and had a blast! Spent time kayaking during the day on the calm waters just feet away from the house. Plenty of activities for the kids like discovering small crabs on the beach, basketball upstairs and outside to watching movies on the PS4!

This home is gorgeous from decor to scenic views! The master has panoramic views of the bay and a balcony that almost wraps the entire upper floor. Plenty of space and bedrooms for our entire family! The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need including a separate fridge to chill wine! I will definitely be booking here again and have recommended it to all of my friends and family!

Our family of 9 had a wonderful stay in Belfair. The home was the perfect size for our family and had all amenities we could have asked for. The location is perfect - just 10 minutes from the gas station, coffee shops and the grocery store. There is a great taco truck next to the winery and a wonderful tattoo parlor in this area too. Tuyen was very responsive to all our questions; we did have some issues with getting the doors to open but was no fault to the owners, however she was very helpful. We rented the kayaks and paddle board which our family enjoyed. We saw the seals with their pups, otters and lots of crabs along the beach. Thank you for the wonderful memories! We will come back again one day!

This beach home of 3800+ sq footage was perfect for our 6 adults and 4 kids (ages 4-7) for our first family gathering. Loved the flooring on the main floor, the large couch accommodations couldn’t be better for all ten of us to view shows on the large TV, kitchen was a great size for 4 people to prepare meals at the same time. The upstairs was the kids own bonus room with the air hockey and hoop ball activities as well as their own comfy couch for their shows. However, with the fantastic weather we had, they were outside on the beach or riding with their parents on the kayaks, playing hide and seek outside and completing their Gramma’s infamous scavenger hunt around the property. I couldn’t have picked a better place for both children and adults to enjoy on our weekend. We all wished it could have been longer. I can’t express our enjoying this “piece of heaven on earth” enough. Thank you Hung Family for our amazing weekend!

One of the best rentals my friends and I have stayed at to date. This home is just as beautiful as the pictures, if not more so. The backyard and its access to the water is the best feature of this property. We were able to kayak and fish which was relaxing and wonderful after spending a long day visiting Seattle. A lot of other rentals in the area were smaller, more expensive, or didn't have any features that made them worth staying at. The home is stocked with several kayaks, a paddle board and an abundance of life jackets. We hadn't thought parking was going to be a plus, but this property has a large private parking area down a fairly private road. We brought five cars and it was still very spacious parking. Tuyen - the property manager/owner was extremely attentive to our needs and requests. She catered our welcome package with snacks and wine and prepped the house prior to our arrival. Her husband Thomas was also very accommodating. He answered a house call to address a small issue with the house and he even brought us cinnamon rolls and oysters. When we inquired about recreational fishing, he left rods and information about the chum count and tide times. This home itself was able to fit several adults comfortably and had additional air mattresses as well, with most rooms giving adequate privacy. Part of the cute charm of the home is that it is an older wood renovated home, updated with more recent comforts of technology. We were very impressed the internet was ab

We totally enjoyed the beach and water. The house is large enough for 4 or 5 couples or multiple small families. It is quiet and nicely remote from the road for safety and noise.

Family reunion
Family reunion
We had 12 people from 4-75 for a family reunion. Kids room was good but really only works for 3 kids, although we also had an air mattress in that room. Adults all had nice beds, although one of the bedrooms didn’t have a closet. Master bedroom is Hugh and we slept the 4 year old in there with her parents. We had a wonderful time, the grounds, beach, tidal area were great. Using the kayaks and the paddle boards was the kids favorite activity. Kitchen was large, even with several people working in it. With all of us we could have used more sitting in living area. My biggest concerns were that kids bathroom had barn door on bathroom, and teenage girls want total privacy. Also the master bedroom doesn’t have blinds on doors, and gets light very early in June. House was clean, had lots of kid activities, and we had a good time.

What a great place and location!
What a great place and location!
I want to just open this review up by saying that we couldn't be happier with our stay at Shoofly Creek. Tuyen was great to work with and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Now the details: We wanted to rent a place where our spread out family could all get together for the holidays. There were 12 of us this year. Throughout the process of booking and preparing for the stay, Tuyen was incredibly communicative and accommodating. She even decorated the house with a tree and Christmas decorations for us! The instructions for entering the house were clear and well laid out as well as the description of amenities. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome gift basket of snacks, wine, and even a couple of toys for any kids we would have brought. We felt this was incredibly thoughtful. The house was beautiful and had plenty of room for everyone. We all commented that it was one of the best stocked vacation rentals we have seen with regards to appliances and a well supplied kitchen. We arrived in the evening so we didn't get to enjoy the view until the morning but we definitely weren't disappointed. There is an awesome creek that runs alongside the property with Kingfishers that were great to watch. The canal was therapeutic to look at through the wide open windows and there is a family of seals that hangs out front as well as otters and eagles. The amount of shoreline that gets exposed at low tide is impressive. The house worked really well for us and would be even better if we were a family that had younger children as they have set it up to cater to them with a large rec room upstairs with all kinds of games as well as plenty of room outside for them to run and explore. In the end, this place was exactly what we needed and think it would be even better to stay in the summer to enjoy the water on a different level. Thank you Tuyen and Tom for allowing us into your beautiful home. You have a special place there.
