Lovely house in beautiful location

We loved our stay here. The house is very well appointed. Every time we thought, “I wonder if they have a,” then we would find it. The view cannot be beat. The beds were comfortable. We saw many seals and otter during our stay. Highly recommend this for couples and small groups.

Beautiful home on the beach!

We had such a relaxing, wonderful quiet weekend with friends. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. Woke up and took nice walks along the beach, ate meals looking out onto the water, and dipped in the hot tub for a relaxing evening. So nice!

Beautiful Shelton house on the water

House was very nice, clean, had everything we needed and then some. Used the kayaks and hottub. Saw otters, a mama deer with 2 babies, and a seal (and of course birds, fish, crabs). Not far from restaurant, gas station. Owner very nice, responded quickly.

Beautiful property and view. Loved all the treats left by the host and the Nespresso coffee machine. Enjoyed sitting on the window seat at the huge picture window in the dining room drinking coffee, visiting and checking out the wonderful view. Appreciated the work stations and high speed internet. Kitchen well stocked, beds super comfy and hot tub toasty. This is out second visit, but sure it will not be our last. Highly recommend. comfy beds

Spacious with great views

Our family of five was looking for a place near Olympic National park to start our Northwest coast vacation. Our first stop, this was a great place to start our trip. The house is very well stocked with lots of room to spread out and amazing views from inside and from the multi-tier deck. Scenic and peaceful, kayaking with everything provided was a bonus and close proximity to nature sites made this a perfect location. Communication with the owner was helpful and accommodating.

Extremely relaxing. Very peaceful setting. House was as described. We enjoyed having dinners on the back deck, going for kayaks in Pickering Passage, and enjoying the hot tub. The view from the kitchen and dining room are just beautiful. Our last day, there was a seal sunning itself all day on one of the docks in the water. My husband was able to work a few days from one of the work desks at the house. Took one star off from location as there isn't much going on in the nearest small town. If you are looking for a little peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the place for you!

Cute, cozy and clean

The house was fine, the listing was accurate....we really don't have any complaints. We have a family of 5 and the home was large enough. The only negative was that the home was a little too far removed from Olympic National Park. We had about a 2 hour drive to get to the north side of the park and even further to the west side. Over to Seattle was about 2 hours as well. So we have no complaints regarding the home; we just found ourselves a little too far removed from where we wanted to spend most of our time, which is our fault. We enjoyed the kayaks, my son did some fishing, we saw a sea otter on one of the docks....and we found the tide moving in and out of the bay to be very interesting.

Absolutley Perfect Way to Get Away!

Our two-week stay was fantastic. This property is lovely, better than the listing, and extraordinarily well stocked. The location is close enough to town to be convenient for groceries of the occasional meal out but remote enough to get a true break from the real world. It is remarkably quiet, significantly set back from the main road, allowing for a restful stay. We saw Orca's nearly every day the first week we were in the home, were treated to frequent visits from otters, seals, and an occasional fly over by a pair of eagles. It was nice to have both the Nespresso maker and traditional coffee maker. The large kitchen and living areas were comfortable for our group with large, comfortable furniture and fantastic views. Beds were comfortable and the two king bedrooms being on separate floors allows for privacy. Our very favorite part of this house was the large rear deck and windows looking out over the water. Given the remarkable views I would imagine this property to be a beautiful place to be year-round. The hosts were great, quick to respond and very helpful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!!

Really relaxing stay on the water! The giant windows with the bench seat were so dreamy, and the bed was so comfortable. We went down to the beach during low tide and we have never seen so many starfish before. We saw dozens upon dozens and that was very cool to see up close. Would definitely come back again.

Our stay at this waterfront villa was absolute bliss! The home is beautiful, comfortable and offers just about everything you need. And the view . . . provides serenity, peace and calm!

An absolutely fantastic experience.

The home is beautifully and spacious which creates a warm / inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The breathtaking view truly provided a serene and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The level of cleanliness and organization in the home was impeccable. It was evident that Ashish & Sitara took great pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness, which made me feel even more comfortable during my stay. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, One of the standout aspects of the experience was the exceptional service provided by Ashish & Sitara. From the moment I made the reservation, they were incredibly responsive and attentive. They promptly answered all of my questions, ensuring that I had all the information I needed for a smooth and enjoyable stay. Their dedication to providing top-notch hospitality was truly remarkable.
