Direct Beach Access: Getaway on Port Orchard!

Long weekend in Bremerton

The property is an updated home from the 30s which the owners are trying to market as quaint. However things that we found critical - cleanliness and functionality were lacking and not quaint at all. They list it as having central air conditioning which is generous. It covers the basement and ground floor but not the upstairs bedrooms where it is needed most. I was told there were fans for every bedroom but the fan for the master was loud and cumbersome to use. The house has a coffee maker that makes three cups at a time, imho too small for the house this size. We bought one for our use (and took it home). Ceiling fan in the master didn’t work at all. Other fans worked once you located the controls which were not always easy to find. Instructions for some light switches and door locks were written on the wall with a sharpie. That was just plain odd but they called it quaint. Some of the small appliances were dirty and needed to be washed before use Website Pictures of the kitchen make it appear much larger than it is. Two adults make it feel crowded. Remote owners make resolution of operating issues impossible - tenant has to rectify any issues themselves. Or just ‘deal with it.’ Kids toys strewn in common areas- found under furniture, on deck in the yard, etc The general condition of the house was dirty, as if it had been unoccupied for a long time - cobwebs, dirt and dust bunnies, yet we came in right after other renters. I encourage them to get a better cleaning crew. Garbage bins and recycle bins were full when we arrived making dealing with the trash and recycling our issue to address. The owners / contacts are responsive to phone calls but email contact is useless as the mailbox was full. Multiple attempts to send emails were unsuccessful even after advising the owner that it needed to be emptied. If you’re willing to overlook these issues it is a nice location and the deck is a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by.

Beautiful home on the water

We enjoyed just about everything in this house. The location on the water is idyllic and exploring the water line as the tides went in and out was fun. The view of Mt Rainier (when or sunny or sunny-ish) is spectacular! The house itself is in good condition, was clean and had plenty of space for our party of ten. Our kids enjoyed the amenities in the house like the pool table. The owners of the property are very nice and were exceptionally responsive when a (relatively minor) issue arose. Overall, we had a terrific time and would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful house, location, and amenties for a large family

Our family of 9 had an absolutely wonderful time at this home! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed. The house was spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated, providing ample room for everyone to relax comfortably. The location right by the water was a dream come true. We woke up to stunning views each morning, and the sound of the waves was so soothing. One of the highlights of our stay was the availability of kayaks. We spent hours paddling along the serene waters, exploring the coastline, and even had a chance to spot some local wildlife. It was a memorable experience for all of us, especially the kids who couldn't get enough of it. Moreover, the hosts were incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs. They made us feel welcome from the moment we booked our stay. Any questions or concerns we had were addressed promptly, which made our trip stress-free and enjoyable. The surrounding area had plenty to offer as well. We discovered charming local restaurants and shops. The combination of a peaceful waterfront retreat and the convenience of nearby amenities made this home the perfect choice for our family vacation. In summary, we can't say enough good things about our stay here. It was a fantastic getaway, and we highly recommend this home to anyone seeking a relaxing and memorable vacation by the water.

Location

Location on the Sound was wonderful! We especially loved the deck and firepit and ate most of our meals out there enjoying the amazing views. We also watched river otters, eagles, even a seal or two out in the water. Having the kayaks and paddleboards was awesome. House is so cute and quaint and it worked well for our family gathering. The upstairs bathroom could use updating as it doesn't have a shower. Noleen and the Mgmt company were flexible and so easy to work with!
