The home had everything including upgraded appliances that included separate cooling drawers and a warming drawer. The master shower was two thumbs up. The views of the canal, the bald eagles, the harbor seals and fire pit made it difficult for us to get away to adventure out for daily hikes. The local restaurants were also very inviting. We loved Hamma Hamma Oyster Saloon and Geoducks. We are already discussing returning to this same property in the future. This is an awesome place! My comments don’t give it enough justice. We all loved it!

This is a great spot near the Olympic National Forest and an hour away from the ferry to Seattle for day trips. Lots of hiking trails nearby.

After searching VRBO for the perfect home to rent for my boyfriend’s birthday weekend, I settled on the Madrona Waterfront Splendor located in Brinnon, WA on Hoods Canal. Upon arrival we began preparing dinner and I realized after a few hours of running the hot water on and off there was no hot water. We checked the hot water heater and it appeared to be shut off. There was a button we turned on and it started running, still no hot after two more hours . No showers Thursday night in the spectator double head tile shower. Friday morning, I phoned the management group and left a message. After no response for an hour and half I phoned again and Andres, the officer manager picked up. Andres came to the home and could not determine why the water heater was not functioning. We told him it was the element that appeared to be out. Andres let us know if he could not get it fixed, he could offer us one of their other rental properties to shower and he would refund us for our down time with no hot water, perfect. We were then told there are no available properties for us to shower, and they could offer us a one-star hotel in Quilcene or shower tokens for the State Park. Quilcene is a 35-mile round trip and the only hotel I am familiar with is $65 a night and nothing remotely comparable to the five-star property we rented. Saturday morning a plumber showed up and changed out the element. By the time the water finally heated it is 2:00 pm Saturday, dirty dishes are stacked up with no clean dishes left to use and still no hot showers up until this point. Two out of three days of our vacation is gone waiting for property management and plumbers to fix the problem. I understand these things happen and we were extremely patient through the entire process knowing we would be refunded for our time without hot water. We were only refunded one night stay out of the two nights without hot water and this is what I have an issue with. Why one night and not two when we were out hot water for two full days? We were unable to leave the home to do our planned activities Friday and most of Saturday, big disappointment. Maybe in the future they can send out a maintenance technician who knows what the issue is, I believe this could have been rectified Friday. I will not rent from Brinnon Windermere again due to the way they managed communication and refunding us for the time spent dealing with this issue and no hot water.

We had a fabulous Christmas holiday and truly loved everything about the home including the views and location. It was clean and the kitchen was fabulous to work in. We loved the warming drawer. With all the great things to offer there was only one item that disappointed us but was not worth making a stink about because we had so much fun. That was the lack of the fireplace. The fireplace was working but we were told we could not use it. It was shown in the pictures as lit but there was evidently fine print that we didn’t realize was in the listing that it was not usable for some reason. With the snow falling Christmas Eve and reading night before Christmas, with our stockings hung from the mantle, it would’ve been nice to have the warm fire. All in all we had a spectacular time thank you and thank you jolene.

I loved our stay. Exquisite home with well appointed amenities, comfortable beds, and absolutely beautiful views. We celebrated Christmas a bit early while staying here, and it was just lovely. Thank you for providing such an amazing home for our family getaway.

Our second time staying and won’t be the last. We love this house. Gorgeous location. We will be back.

Loved every minute of the day there! Wonderful view and great access to the water.

The location of this house on the point is fabulous. Loons calling, seals splashing, incredible sunrises! The living room with vaulted windows is stunning. The house has a very well-stocked kitchen. And the waterfall shower in the main bathroom was a delightful experience! We loved our stay here!

Amazing home and location. Should be called harbor seal sanctuary. Every morning a school of seals played in front of us. We will be sure to return.

This property was amazing!! Morning coffee on the deck with eagles soaring. Beautiful view and access to the crystal clear water. We paddle boarded, swam, and went crabbing. This house is well stocked with everything you need. Great indoor and outdoor spaces. Already booked another trip for the fall.

The home — and view — is every bit as beautiful as shown online. Great family hike one day @ Olympic National Forest, fresh oysters from the beach and fun family meals soaking in all the amazing, expansive views. Beautiful sunrises over the water taken in from the main bedroom deck. Would love to visit again in summer to kayak. This is a really special place.

We've never been to Washington and we wanted a woodsy out of the way experience and this place was ideal! Don't get me wrong this place would be ideal in any season. The water is clear and pristine, the wildlife abundant and busy and the house is the perfect setting for enjoying the area. We loved the quiet of all hours. One of the best parts of the house is the fully equipped kitchen and great grill.

My family and I spent a week at this property, and loved every minute of it. The home is very clean and decently stocked. The view over the water is expansive and wonderful for taking in all the sights of a pleasantly sunny day or a dramatic storm. We had both!My kids are young (5 and 3), so we had to be very watchful of them outdoors, as the area surrounding the deck and patio quickly drops straight down to the beach, many feet below. The stairs to the beach are also quite steep and required both adults to help the kids down safely. A rocky beach is a lot of fun for the little ones though, and we spent a good deal of time there. We ate lunches outside on the deck most days, while looking for whales in the water. The only thing I would note is that there is some limit to the internet usage at the house. If you’re planning to use WiFi for work or school, you may experience a slower connection. Overall though, this was a really special place for our very much needed family getaway!

You can see the water from almost every window in the house. The large windows in the living area are magnificent. The kitchen is well stocked and organized for those who like to cook. The double oven is a huge plus. Living space had several blankets and room for board games. Fireplace is not operational during the stay. The master bathroom was luxurious with heated floors and a rain shower head.

We had a really lovely stay at this property. It was beautiful, well kept, clean and incredibly well stocked. We had a very enjoyable time and have no complaints.

We had a great stay at this home for a 3-night getaway from the city. The home had a lot to offer. The views were the best! The upstairs bedroom and bath were amazing. Laying in bed you could see all of the great views. The bathtub in the master was excellent. The only feedback I have is that the downstairs beds weren’t very comfortable, and it was unfortunate that the groundskeeper came during one of the days we were there to lead blow the whole property. With the very large windows, it definitely took away from the private feeling of the house otherwise.
