Spacious Family-Friendly Home on Port Orchard

Reviews

• Beautiful home on the water

  5/5

  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.

  5/5

  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

  5/5

  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!

  "Thank you for sharing back with us, Mindy! It’s wonderful to hear you got to enjoy and see everything we love about this home, too! After the complete modernization of the basement last year, we are setting our sights on the upper floors in our next remodel. We hope you’ll come back!"

  We were celebrating a special birthday and the beautiful Illahee house and its magical location were perfect for us. We so enjoyed the the tidal fluctuations and kayaks and wildlife--all so special. And so many fireworks to see across the water.

• Liked: Cleanliness Great waterfront house!

  5/5

  Our family had a wonderful stay at this home. It was very clean and just as advertised. There were eleven of us and we had plenty of room in the house. The kids loved the bunk bed room in the basement. Plenty of kitchen supplies, towels and blankets. We enjoyed the waterfront view. Our kids loved exploring on the shore when the tide went out. We had a whole collection of shells and other finds. There were even boots under the porch that the kids could use to wade in the water with- such fun! Only a 10 min. drive to Bremerton. The only hiccup was we received the check-in instruction email a day late, so that was a bit confusing. Though I booked through Vrbo, it actually is a Revolve property, so maybe that's the issue. We would definitely recommend this house!
