This home was perfect for our trip to the Pacific Northwest. This was the cleanest property we have ever visited and was exactly as described. The home was well stocked with items we would need in the kitchen and laundry, which was greatly appreciated, as we had a long flight and were in a new time zone when we finally got to the property. Our rooms were warm and cozy, and the wall heaters and extra blankets kept us comfortable as the outside temps dropped The neighborhood was totally quiet and the home was easy to access. We couldn’t recommend this home more highly.

We had a wonderful stay at Agate. The house was clean and orderly with many big and small amenities provided. The views of the sound are remarkable! We loved the fire pit space and all of the porches/decks. We saw a deer on the beach our first day and saw several seals in the water throughout our stay. The house is about 15 minutes to “town” but the drive is so beautiful, it goes by quickly. My only negative is that it seemed to be spider season. There were none inside or outside when we arrived but throughout our stay, we’d wake up to massive spider webs, mostly outside. But the next day, they’d be gone. I’d highly recommend this spot for a wonderful stay!

Nice location on the waterfront with good outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy our visit. The property had a nice fire pit that came in handy for a couple of cool nights, and two covered porches with views of the bay were great to be outside but out of the weather. Nice amenities inside for preparing meals and dine. Only drawback was the main bedrooms mattresses are aged and need replacing.

We had just the best time together at this dutiful home. It had everything we needed to enjoy each other and the great PNW.

Pleasant peaceful neighborhood with privacy, loved having 3 different decks to view the waterfront, watched harbor seals swim by several times during our stay. The property felt very comfortable and homey, with nice personal touches like cozy blankets to wrap up in watching the evening sunset or early morning sunrise, highly recommend!

Beautiful view but lots of stairs outside and inside. My family enjoyed the home.

We stayed with another family and loved it. Great place, great view.

Enjoyed exploring the surrounding areas! Great home base for our family!

Everything as stated in their listing. Spacious living space, comfortable seating, clean and comfy. Property manager was “Jill on-the-spot” when we couldn’t download the combo to get in even though she was out of state. Hopefully we can stay the again in the near future.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The house was just as advertised and had everything we needed

Another great vrbo property

Because the owner agreed to address all our concerns I agreed to to post a bad review. I would not stay again

This was our second time in this home. We watched beautiful sunsets over the Bay from the deck while enjoying good conversation and a glass of wine. I have an adult son with autism and it was wonderful for him as well as his sister and I for him to have his own space. The set up of the house is three floors and he got to use the bottom floor which opens out onto a small yard that leads down to the beach. He had the quiet he needed and the space to build Legos and play video games.

Great in every way!

We had an excellent time walking the beach and paddling from the house. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Great view from the master bedroom. The pool was a big bonus.

Had a delightful stay in this spacious home on the south sound. Check in was easy and stream less. Enjoyed a beach walk during low tide, relaxing and catching up with friends. Highly recommend this home.

Lovely quiet getaway

Has everything you could ever want there for a lovely weekend away!

The house is very clean and beautiful view from the deck. We are really enjoy for times here.

Description was very accurate. Beautiful house with new deck and a fabulous view. Very nice trip away from city with the kids and friends.

When we first got to the property the house was great and it had a good view of the water. When you walk in it looks great but notice the steep stairwell right by the kitchen. Without having a baby gate, you have to constantly keep an eye on the babies or keep them cooped up in a playpen The beach was a little hard to get down to for my pregnant wife, since there is a row of boulders you have to walk down and either jump down or climb down. Minor inconvenience but figure it would be good to mention. The kitchen was stocked fairly well in terms of utensils and even had some basic necessity like salt and pepper and sugar. The cupboards where the pans were wasnt cleaned very well at all, and was off-putting when we were checking everything out. The rest of the house was fine in terms of cleanliness and was very happy to not find any bugs or spiders in the house. The outside firepit was nice to have, and the deck leading down to the water front was nice to have too. I would have liked if there was a bench down there or something to sit on and watch the water. The outside chairs were covered with spider webs and spiders/eggs. I would suggest maybe some folding chairs in the downstairs area we could take out as needed? The property manager was very quick to reply to my inquiries and was very accommodating allowing an early check in, and company to visit. Beds were comfortable, chairs were comfortable, adequate toilet paper and paper towels, and other necessities. The location in general made it a little out of the way as expected, as the agate store is the closest one and while it has things you would need, being a convenience store it's very overpriced and it's a decent drive to get anywhere else to buy groceries. Would definitely not recommend walking to the store or anything because of the roads. Would be dangerous with the winding roads with no side walks. Overall I definitely recommend staying here, just be sure to bring a baby gate if youre bringing a crawling / walking toddler. Some items they had for use include: Coffee maker (with filters), toaster, dishwasher, over range microwave, full refrigerator that works well, as well as a built in icemaker in the freezer, some pots and pans, measuring cups, silverware, small highchair in the closet, extra linens, throw blankets in the ottomans in livingroom, propane bbq with necessary utensils (though one of the "burners" wouldn't light), firepit with nearby hose, and outdoor chairs.

This was a nice home on the sound, very nice views of the water, and was clean. Our downside was the location. It’s very remote, you cannot run to the store if you need something quickly, and we have a daughter with health issues and the drive to get to help would be longer than we were comfortable with so know that it’s out there.

Agate beach house location was perfect for my family. Plenty of room to visit without feeling like everyone was crowding each other. Enjoyed spending time down on the beach and watching wildlife (sea otters and bald eagles).

It was my first time to Shelton area…We had fun exploring the area. We visited an amazing winery, Walter Dacon…..and a cute little Boutique in Union…. If it wouldn’t have rained every day, it would have been great….

We were barely at the property. Spent most of the time finding hikes.

We went to the pool, paddleboarded, fished, dug for clams and grilled oysters. Lots to do!

This house was so much fun. I would definitely stay here again. The location was perfect, views were stunning, water was amazing & the house was really cute & set up almost perfectly for our group. A few things to note: this is a 3 story house, you enter on the main floor, which is kitchen, dining room for 6, living room (w television), balcony w seating for 6 & the bathroom for the basement space which has the washer & dryer in it. A little bit of a tight fit when doing laundry, doors behind doors. The basement has a common area w a twin day bed/trundle & a television & 1 room w bunk beds & a trundle, so you can easily sleep 5 kids downs there. This also leads out to the fire pit & beach access down about 20 stairs & then 10 large boulders. The yard could definitely use some maintenance & the walkway to the beach was pretty overgrown making the walk down a little harder, especially w kayaks, chairs, rafts etc. The upstairs has a queen bed & a king bed that share a bath. The king room is on the water side w a balcony & the queen is on the street side. Again, the setup worked really well for our group, though I did think there was a master suite. The kitchen was pretty tight space wise & could use some updating, to include pots & pans, which I could not find one that was not so scratched that I did not worry about the health risks of using them. The games drawers at the house were very outdated, missing pieces etc & again, a little updating would go a very long way. I am not sure if the listing mentions the tides, but when the tide is out, the beach is unusable not only due to the terrain, but also because it is owned by seafood companies, so definitely check your weather & tide tables before picking a date. We only had one day that it was pretty bothersome to have to wait for the tide to come in far enough. On the bright side, you are allowed to get 10-20 clams or oysters during your stay without issue. Another glowing point was that when both of the propane tanks were empty when we went to grill, I called the property manager after bus. hrs, she answered & directed me to the backup tank within 5 mins. She was wonderful & lovely to talk to on the phone. Overall, this house was great, & I really wanted to give it 5 stars, or at least 4.5, but that was not an option. I just expected a little bit more in the detail category for as much money as it ended up being after all taxes & such. & I'm just a person who appreciates an honest review. Thank you.

More than enough space for family of 5 and great decks. Pictures do not do the place justice. Plan to be careful with little ones on the beach thanks to a lot of barnacles and sharp shells.

After a long separation from our grandson, due to the pandemic, this was the perfect way to catch up. We spent a whole month in this house. We were looking for a place where we would have room to play and relax. This house was just right. The owners provided all the cooking amenities we needed and the house was stocked with paper towels and toilet paper. Everything was clean and well organized. The views were amazing. This home was very private. We felt like we were in our own little world. The grounds were perfect for the many squirt gun fights we indulged in. The property manager was prompt in responding to any questions we had. To sum in all up, we felt very at home there. We would definitely stay here again!

This was a first outing since Covid isolation. The house was wonderful. Terrific view, very clean, well-supplied, and comfortable. We had two good outings: Harstine Island (Jarrell Cove)and Staircase Rapids Loop Trail hike. It was magnificent being in the Olympic National Park again. Thank you for making this home available.

We enjoyed our stay! We really enjoyed clamming and fishing. It is kind of remote, which was fine for us, but if you're looking to go out to eat or need to shop, do it before heading to the house. You will need to drive into Shelton otherwise, which isn't too far, but not just a run down the street. The views were amazing and the water was fun!

We loved the three levels. I have a 22 year old son with autism and the lower level gave him the quiet he needs and thus gave the rest of us the space we needed to talk, laugh and enjoy each other's company. There is a beautiful water view and direct beach access. I would recommend this home highly.
