Super clean, very cozy, beautiful area. Front door lock was a little fussy to deal with, but overall the place was awesome — definitely recommend.

The house is super cute and cozy. Very well maintained and clean. The view includes Mount Rainier on clear days. We saw whales and sea lions from the deck. The neighborhood is quiet and the residents were all friendly.

Great space for a family with children. Beautiful view of water even on a cloudy day. Overall great location.

Lovely cabin, with beautiful views. Everything we needed for a little getaway. Very clean and host was responsive to questions. Peaceful and beautiful! Had a wonderful time.

We had a great stay right on the bay. It was cold, windy and rainy, but once we got the house warm, we had a festive family Christmas.

Beautiful view of the water a quiet place to restore and re-energize yourself. The property is clean and well maintained the property owner responded quickly. We felt safe and in the lovely quite home.

If you read other reviews you will see flying colors. I think for 90% of vacationers it will easily be a 9 or 10. For my parnter and I we enjoyed the stay overall, and the area and view are beautiful, no, stunning. But we independently felt the quality didn't meet our expectations, comparing this experience to other Vbro experiences. Keep in mind we have very high standards/expectations so we are not representative of most people. For us, it felt outdated and no touch of personalization. For example, there was no care/welcome package common for vacation rentals, and wifi was never communicated. Patio furniture was not arranged or set up for our expensive stay, until a day later after we left the premises to enjoy the area, which makes us wonder if the NEST camera at the door is used to monitor departures and arrivals. If so, a little too cyber surveillance for our taste. We would not stay there again unless accomedations were improved. Not for the generous price we paid. These things are subjective.

We had a lovely relaxing time at this beautiful place. The views were spectacular and the house was lovely. We were a group of three adults and two children and the sleeping arrangement worked well. You do have to walk down the street a few houses to get to the stairs to the beach, which is very rocky. The water was lovely especially since it was so hot some days. Thanks for a great day!

This was the most quiet, peaceful place we’ve ever stayed. There was a pod of four orcas that swam by almost every day and eagles and deer also. The deck was incredible, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Communication with with the host was excellent.

Enjoyed this house so much! Such a cool little cabin. The house is full of surprises and was a perfect place to relax!! The view is to die for. The sound and the mountain!

The house is absolutely amazing. Clean, warm and cozy. Definitely will be coming back to this place. Well stocked with things. Beds are very comfortable.

We stayed 4 nights at this water-view home. We had another couple join us for a couple nights. Loved walking the beach and exploring the area. It was a rainy May but we got a spectacular view of Mt. Rainier one day when the clouds cleared. The house is super-clean and has everything you need for your getaway. We used the wood stove every day which made it very cozy on those rainy days. The media loft was terrific and there was a whole bin of DVDs available. We needed to reach the owner shortly after we arrived and they texted back immediately. Really appreciated being able to reach them if needed. We wouldn't hesitate to return for a future stay.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is comfortable well-appointed, and has a great deck for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view of the Hood canal. We would have loved to stay longer.

Another great stay on Stretch Island. Highly recommend!

This was our first trip to the PNW and we fell in love. July was the perfect time of year it seems as we just missed a hot spell and had perfect 70 degree temperatures to enjoy while gazing upon the beauty of the Case Inlet and surrounding area. We were a bit surprised that more wildlife wasn't out and about, but perhaps the extreme heat the previous weeks did something to impact that. We did end up seeing a bald eagle and an otter, though. For the price we found this property to be a great value! We would love to see the owner invest in some window coverings, newer sheets, and pillows. The sun comes up early (at least in the Summer) so it was nearly impossible to sleep in past 5:30am. The patio furniture was comfortable and we spent many, many hours watching the water. SO relaxing! Overall we loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat! Be ready for a 1.5 - 2 hr. commute into Seattle if you're looking to see the city. It was also about an hour to Olympic National Park to go hiking, though there may be closer spots. We rented Kayak's right down the road at Fair Harbor Marina which was delightful, especially since we didn't have to go far! Even though there's a fair amount of driving (depending on your activities), the scenic views around every turn make it worth it! Thanks to Heather and Nick for hosting us!

We spent 5 days at this amazing property. The hosts thought of everything, from games and movies down to the binoculars we used to watch the seals play in the water in front of the house. Heather was extremely responsive to requests, and provided great recommendations for things to do in the area. Would definitely stay here again.

We had an incredible 5-day stay with our friends. They had a 1.5 year old and we had our 8 month old, and the home was very accommodating for both. Comfortable home, incredible views (especially from the deck), and very quiet. We watched two eagles hunt for fish every day, and seals swam by when the sea was calm. As we walked down to the beach we were greeted by multiple friendly neighbors who were so kind to us. We also picked up oysters and clams from Tom Farmer Oyster Company per another guest’s review and they were amazing. We would love to stay again in the future. Highly recommend this place!

Allyn-Grapeview is the perfect destination if you're looking for a peaceful getaway. The area and views are so beautiful!

Me and my family had a great time staying here. We loved waking up to see the seals and sea lions frolicking in the water. Other critters we saw included porpoises, river otters and lots of birds. The neighbors were super friendly and welcoming. Heather was extremely responsive to any questions we had during our stay which I appreciated. I definitely would recommend this lovely house to any of our friends.

Excellent

What a wonderful getaway, in a beautiful setting, and with all the amenities. We were so pleased to have a girls' weekend getaway at this lovely home, where everything was exceptionally clean and thoughtfully appointed. The communication with the hosts could not have been better, and Stretch Island was the perfect destination for us -- not too far from home, but far enough to where you feel like you're away from it all. Thank you for a memorable experience.
