We chose this location due to its proximity to everything we wanted to do. It really is centered between Seattle, Mt. Rainer, the Pacific Ocean and Olympic mtns all while enjoying the beautiful view of Oakland bay. JC is a very generous host that makes sure you have all you need for an enjoyable stay.

This was my first experience with Vrbo and was very nervous about what I was "signing up for ". The house and beauty of the listing was better than the pictures. The house and host provided everything you may need or even thought you might of forgot. The View from the 3 patios is unbelievable ! Our family enjoyed tide out as much as tide in. We flew kites, found clams/oysters , or just walked along the beach. The view of Mt.Rainier was a daily highlight. We went kayaking, swam, waded.....only problem was time....not enough to enjoy this property. Host is amazing and takes care of everything, and I do mean everything ! We entertained extended family and had ample room for everyone ! Kids had things to do so adults could enjoy ! We are hoping to return next year and would return to this property in a heartbeat ! Thanks JC , you nailed it !

Property has many rooms, nice kitchen/living room/dining room upstairs, as well as a kitchenette in the lower daylight basement. Many bedrooms if you have a large party! The heat was record breaking, but fortunately there is an AC unit in the living room. Enjoyed walking the beach and making s'mores in the outdoor patio area. JC has stocked the house with literally everything, including marshmallows, skewers, and graham crackers! Also, lots of fruit and veggies growing in pots and gardens.

We had a wonderful time playing at the beach and enjoying the lovely home. JC is an incredible host who makes sure that you have everything you need. Our family loved our stay and can't wait to come back.

Thank you JC for letting us stay in your lovely house while we house hunted in the area. It was so nice to have a relaxing place with a beautiful view to come back to after all our driving around. Your kindness and thoughtfulness as a host were a wonderful treat for us to help combat the stress of finding a new home for our family.

The home had ample space, everyone had their spot they adopted. The sun room and outdoor patios were a great place for morning coffee. The kitchen was huge, everything you need to make meals. Indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit. The added benefit of greasy vegetables from the garden. The owner is very nice and gracious. Communication was fantastic. Home is well cared for and clean. Can’t wait to come back.

We enjoyed a lovely long weekend on the water. Our children particularly enjoyed the crafts and the fishing poles. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook, including a great electric griddle that was perfect for making grilled cheese for everyone. JC was available to answer all of our questions.

Had a great time at JC’s. The garden was plentiful and so fun to eat from, we enjoyed walking down the beach and using the kayaks. Was the perfect place for a long weekend. Only suggestion would be to bring a few gallons of water- JC provides a large water tank, but the tap water isn’t potable.

J.C. was a great host, even texting us to call to our attention an incredible moonrise, reflecting over the water. She had great suggestions for eating, when the water was perfect for kayaking (there were kayaks there), and more. There were many different spots in the house and outside for sitting back, eating, reading, talking, and enjoying the gorgeous water view. We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy all there was to do -- to swim/kayak more, make some crafts, etc. For our dog, we could walk on the beach when the tide was out, plus there was a wonderful park, with lovely hiking trails, a 5 minute drive away heading north on state road 3, across from the gas station. The kitchen was incredibly well supplied, and the house was decorated with interesting things around every corner -- not your generic vacation house decoration. The garden was also a beautiful treat. Wifi was strong and reliable, enabling my daughter to do some zoom meetings she needed to do for work. All in all, a wonderful place for work, play, and dog delight..

House is right on the Puget sound. We had so much fun, the owner of the home was available and very helpful. We will be back;)

Our stay here was simply amazing. When we first arrived we found a beautiful garden area full of luscious plants and little seating areas, and there were some fresh-picked veggies waiting for us. When we walked around the outside of the house to the back, we immediately wowed by the outstanding view of the bay and a very inviting backyard, with a pond and various pretty seating areas with gorgeous views. Inside, we found fresh-cut flowers and a very bright, spacious, thoughtfully-decorated home. The pictures don't do it justice. It is larger than we envisioned, and we found everything we needed, from everything under the sun to use for cooking (maybe more gadgets than we have at home!), to all the toiletries you could need in the bathroom. And the kids had a wonderful time exploring the house and finding that there were books, toys, movies, musical instruments, and a whole craft room for them to enjoy! We spent a lot of our time on the rocky beach, where there were kayaks, some sand toys, beach chairs, life vests, fishing gear for us to use...the list goes on. We spent hours finding pretty rocks and tiny crabs, having fires on the beach (firewood was included!), and my son got to try fishing with the gear that was supplied. The area was so private and quiet, we hardly saw anyone at all and felt like we were worlds away from everything. It was very serene. JC was wonderfully communicative and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed, and it's evident with all the attention to detail that this home is well cared-for, and with the intention of making sure the guests have all they need and have a good time. It felt like staying at a good friend's house, with everything taken care of, and even extra clothes and things in the drawers in case anyone needed them! There were so many little surprises, like blueberries to pick, and little toy dinosaurs hidden in the yard that the kids loved finding! It felt like an adventure. Staying here was an wonderful experience. We couldn't have been happier or more comfortable, and felt like we really got to "get away from it all" and unwind. The property and location are gorgeous and serene. We wished we could have stayed longer and hope to return! The house is huge and spacious, bright and open, and thoughtfully decorated and outfitted with everything anyone could need. I We came to celebrate my husband's 40th, and had our young children with us.

We had a fantastic weekend on the water, great for kayaking and paddle boarding. The house has a very well stocked kitchen and there's a second small kitchen with an additional oven/fridge along with a large supply of bedding. Would comfortably accommodate a large group. Restaurants and stores are a 5 minute drive. J.C. is a gracious hostess!

The stay at the property in Sheldon was very enjoyable. The location allowed us to visit many beautiful locations within a 2 hour drive including Mt. Rainier, the Pacific Coast, Olympic National Park, and Port Angeles. The home was equipped with everything we needed for cooking and recreational activities. Oakland Bay was fun to kayak on as well as walk the shore to find shells and things. There were sea lions swimming around within sight from the shore and would swim by us while kayaking. We all had a great deal of fun during our stay and the J.C,. the property owner, was easy to work with.

This property is right on the beach in Oakland Bay (Shelton) with gorgeous views of the water and amazing beach access! The house has everything you need and more! There are many sleeping options which worked very well for our family. As described, the house is not “fancy” or modern looking, but the spaces like the fridge, bathroom, bedding...were all clean and ready to use. We appreciated JC who was very accommodating in all aspects.

The property owner was there to greet me at check in. It was an easy walk around then total relaxation. The owner was very accommodating and took very good care of us during our stay. The house is located right on the water of Oakland Bay. The owner has put tons of hours into growing plants, fruits, and spices around the yard giving the outdoors a tranquil setting. Plenty of room and was exactly what the add said. This has changed our experience staying away from home and we will be coming back to stay again. Thanks for the great stay and accommodations.

The views are great. The beach walk fun. Holiday Christmas decorations a ongoing surprise. So Nice. We had our table set for 9 for Christmas dinner. We will go back again if we have a chance. Home is close to Shelton and you could run to grocery store or go to a selection of restaurants. Bob’s Tavern is a fun place to stop for a local drink.

House and JC were very accommodating

The house was right on the water, just a few steps down the hill. It was outfitted with everything you could need. The owner was very nice and was ready to help with anything we needed.

Perfect spot for our large wedding party. Cute and clean with a gorgeous view, and completely kid friendly.

We had a water leak in our home and had to move out for extensive renovations with zero notice or planning time. We have four teenagers so the hotel that the insurance company initially put us up in was nearly impossible. Luckily, a friend suggested I check out VRBO and I found this house! It was clean and well stocked with just about everything we needed for six of us (we ended up being there for two months!!). The house was spacious with several different "hang out" areas (important when you have four teens who each want their own space) and we loved the easy access to the beach. We even had a couple weekends where our girls had multiple overnight guests and were able to comfortably accommodate 9 teens simultaneously! The only downside for us was that we normally live in town where our kids are able to walk just about every where that they want to go (none of them drive). Being a couple miles out of town meant LOTS of extra driving for my husband and I to accommodate basketball/track practice, youth groups, etc. . . As a vacation destination though, I'm sure that anyone, whether a couple looking for a quiet retreat away from it all or a family/large group out for some summer fun, would have a great time here and find it well suited for just about anything our area offers!
