The photos online do not do this place justice. It was much better than I expected. Everything was clean and nice and we had a great time staying here.

Had a wonderful time. Very convenient for exploring the area and a relaxing locale for our downtime.

Coming in late evening Home was lighted and very welcoming The stay was so cozy and relaxing Everything was perfect We spent our Christmas here If you love plants like I do Several garden areas to walk or sit We were welcomed with wine and a Christmas tree I could on on and on. We will stay there again

When we arrived, we opened the door and there was wonderful jazz music playing, heat was on and there was a bottle of wine with glasses all ready to go! It was so inviting. The house was charming and very well equipped (even all of the necessary kitchen tools to fix a Thanksgiving meal)! Everything was there for us and we had a very relaxing time. The jacuzzi was fantastic! What an added plus!

A charming well-appointed cottage. The hot tub was a added bonus. Our only complaint is the shortage of wash clothes -- only found two for a 4-day stay.

Nice, quiet, relaxing getaway with friends. Kitchen had everything we needed to complete meals. The rooms were nice and dark for good sleep.

This is a lovely quiet space. Daily walks to the pier and shoreline included sightings of deer and eagles as well as seabirds and various types of boats. The host was gracious and responsive.

This is a delightful cottage with beautiful water views. Owner was kind and helpful through planning and check in as well as through the stay by checking in on us even after arrival to offer help/guidance as needed. Gave four stars for cleanliness due to the nature of this well- loved century old home surrounded by lots of vegetation. Leaf litter is a reality, and was seen around the grounds and on the deck upon arrival. This is not intended to be a flaw, but rather, a review to clarify future guests’ expectations. This cottage is a vintage home that has been lovingly cared for and is well appointed with many items to make the stay comfortable. Many extras were also available that were a delight to have available. If your desire is to stay in a modern, sterile residence with sharp clean lines and pristine lawns, this is not the place to stay. However if the description above fits your vision of a place in which to get away, you will find that this is a great place to stay! Will return!

Amazing little house with lots of amenities and close to some really cute town centers with restaurants and shopping. The house has been beautifully kept and the foliage well groomed. Very well stocked kitchen with some “welcome” drinks in the fridge for us. We used the jacuzzi and the fire pit which were both wonderful. Even saw a bald eagle in a tree while sitting on the back porch on our last day! The only suggestion I would have is to have more small trash cans in the bedrooms and living room. Only ones were in the bath and kitchen. Had a great time and will definitely return to this house in the future for vacation.

very peaceful place to work and relax

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. We would love to come back

As advertised, an indirect view of the Puget Sound, a quiet neighborhood, and a comfortable house with a hot tub out back. 14 of my days there were great, 1 not so great. All in all, a very good experience.

Enjoyed the stay. The kitchen was well equipped. Quiet location with water views. Nice outdoor area as well. Would stay here again.

The location is wonderfully located for a bit of R&R!

Really enjoyed the property. Hot tub makes all the difference. The piano was a fun touch. Would recommend.

My wife and I enjoyed this charming home with all its features. We had a good partial view of the water from the back porch in March. The five minute walk to the shore is well worth it. We were able to walk along a private road and explore the beach.

Combined wife's work trip with a little weekend getaway. Home is well-appointed and cozy. Would like to see the yard in the summer. Fire pit was great!

Cottage was well kept and clean. Nice amenities and close to restaurants and the water.

It was a quaint home. Had everything you needed for a relaxing weekend. Even had a kettle and French press. There were also needed cooking items that you probably would have forgotten like oil, spices and etc. We enjoyed relaxing in bed watching TV. The hot tub was an enjoyable part of our "do nothing" weekend. You are not on the water but have "pick-a-boo" views. I also enjoyed having extra blankets to snuggle on the couch. Many vacation rentals to not have these little touches. The home was out of town but close enough for a quick drive into Port Orchard. It was a very nice and welcoming touch to see the wine and fresh flowers on the dining room table for our anniversary. We enjoyed our stay. I had only 2 negatives- Bathroom is small which it is not the owners fault. It's a 1920's home. Things were smaller back then. Just want to mention if it's a concern for future guests. 2nd- it's time for deep spring cleaning & pressure washing. Don't get me wrong. All surfaces were VERY clean. It was one of the cleaner short term rentals homes I have stayed. The linens smelled so fresh and clean. Overall, I would definitely recommend this little quaint home for your next adventure in Port Orchard/ Gig Harbor Area. I know we would stay again!

Really enjoyed our stay with friends. Nice, clean house, equipped with all our needs.

The photos - which are gorgeous - don’t do it justice. I stayed here with family over Christmas and it was the perfect cozy little place to spend a few days relaxing. Wood-burning fireplace was a great feature. View of the water. The owner was extremely communicative and extremely apologetic about a powe outage that was not at all his fault! Does include a washer and dryer. TVs are more up to date than they appear in the photos. There is a waterfront road that can be accessed by walking in either direction from the driveway. The road it is on is not the best for pedestrians, you have to walk on the shoulder. It’s not for very long either way to get to the water, but it was something we noted especially with my dog. All in all, a great stay and we plan to book again!

Enjoyed our stay!! Great location, including beautiful morning walks by the water and family of deer stopping by to visit . Cottage was nice a cozy and kitchen was well stocked.

The inside of the home was very nice and clean. We couldn’t find wash rags for the bathroom, they were still in the dryer. The outdoor patio area was really dirty and many leaves and spider webs. I thought the area could have been sprayed down with the hose. It said it was 10 miles from cruise terminal, but it was much longer than that. It was very quiet and relaxing tho. No problems with anything. Thank you.

This place was old.. it was cute inside but definitely old. There were spiders EVERYWHERE! 🕷 In the 3 days we were there we killed 5 spiders inside the house and the outside was infested with them. Black widows, orb weavers, wolf spiders. The outside of the property is NOT taken care of very well at all. It was over grown with dense vegetation. Anytime we came in or out of the house we ran because there was an infestation of spiders everywhere including the underneath of the overhangs and easels. We got in the hot tub only once or twice because there was so much shrubbery and spiders surrounding it. We could not walk barefoot anywhere. There was severe overgrowth of weeds everywhere outside. I will never go back to this property. The owner needs to do a serious overhaul of the landscape and have serious pest/ insect control done. There were some cute quilts inside the home but there literally were spiders IN the quilts. We had to shake out everything we used. The owner I think must have controlled the thermostat because it wouldn't let us warm the place up at all... it was like on some type of timer. , as was the t.v. It would turn off after about 30 minutes of watching anything. We left all the lights on pretty much every night because we didn't trust the creatures in the dark. Didn't sleep very well. There were long, dark hairs in the bed when I pulled back the covers so we ended up sleeping on top the bed freezing our butts off every night. My sister found some type of insect egg inside the covers of her bed. This was our very first ever vrbo and we were so excited but I will forever now stay in hotels only. I don't think the owners are in state but I'm not sure... almost seems like an old property that they have someone come out and "straighten up" there were dust bunnies all over the floors so I'm not sure the cleaners swept very well, if at all. I am happy to say no roaches or bedbugs (that I know of) so that's good .... If you don't care about spiders hanging from every nook and cranny you just might like it!

The cottage actually felt much bigger than the pictures showed. It was clean and very comfortable. The bathroom was small, but functional. Loved the neighborhood and the views. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We enjoyed our stay. Glad that our 2 small dogs were welcome. The home is exceptionally well furnished and supplied. Communication with the owner was fast and cheerful. The views of Puget Sound are very nice We highly recommend this home.

Lovely, clean, well equipped property - large kitchen stocked with everything for cooking and prepping food, plenty of bath towels and toiletries, comfortable beds and linens, and A/C! Basically, great attention overall to detail and comfort. Would absolutely book again.

It was well-stocked with the necessities. Lots of clean towels, pillows etc. A nice property overall.

Quaint little cottage full of all the things necessary for a quiet, comfortable week as we prepared for our daughter's wedding!

We very much enjoyed our stay here! It was relaxing and beautiful! In fact, it could not have been bettet!

The family had a great time.

Proximity to ferries & day trips make this a great location for exploring the area, along with water views & a hot tub. There are nearby hiking trails as well. We found the house charming & very comfortable, perfect for relaxing in the evening after our adventures.
