We enjoyed our week very much. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. The layout of the house was very convenient. The view is beautiful and looking at it from the porch with the fire pit was really great.

What a great spot! Loved seeing seals and bald eagles and salmon. Wood-burning fireplace was a special treat. Kitchen was thoroughly stocked to make a very enjoyable Thanksgiving. Will definitely stay again.

Lisa and Mikes home was lovely and just what we were looking for in a fall getaway. The home was cozy, the propane firepit was amazing and the house is right on the water. Great place for a family escape!

The perfect getaway spot on the Hood Canal! Peaceful. quiet, cozy, cute. Outstanding views and all the little extras that you don't expect, but really add to the vacation experience. Fireplaces, outdoor deck, barbeque, firepit, a small rowboat and PFDs, great TV and tons of games, puzzles, etc. Instructions were explicit and covered every possible appliance and activity. Lisa is quick to respond to questions. Be aware that amenities are a bit of a drive so plan ahead for food, etc before you head for the Captain's Retreat. You won't want to leave once you get there! Taylor's Seafood in South Shelton is fantastic for shellfish! Also take in to consideration that major sightseeing (like Olympic National Park) is a two-plus hour drive away. Certainly worth it! All in all, the Captain's Retreat is the perfect getaway!

We had the most wonderful time as a family at this beautiful beach home. Our young kids truly loved exploring all there was to see their first time at a beach! We saw lots of crabs, *so* many jumping fish, clams, and even some seals! Your place provided everything we could have needed! It was very tranquil, private, and the perfect respite for us! Thank you!
