• Great stay with a few hiccups

  4/5

  We loved being right on the ocean and close enough to walk to a few places (the park, coffee). The location is just a 10 minute drive to one of the entrances of Olympic. The house itself was plenty big for our group (4 adults, 4 kids), but it is a mix of newer/renovated and dated. Check-in was a little inconvenient because they needed to meet us at the house to sign paperwork. I've never had to meet a host at the rental before and it just meant we had to be available for that. We also had an issue with a realtor dropping by and going into the house while we were out, which didn't feel great. And, we weren't aware that we would be sharing the backyard/fire pit with the smaller house that's on the same property. All in all, it was a good trip and the house worked for us minus those few things.

• Beautiful setting, lacks privacy

  4/5

  We had a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful and the grounds were well represented in the photos. When we chose this location, the backyard was a major deciding factor. However, the listing does not disclose that the backyard is shared with the guest house that adjoins the property. Therefore, we had visitors in our backyard on a regular basis. The backyard is large, but what is problematic is that neither bathroom has a window covering and are easily visible to people that may be in your backyard.

  We also felt that the house, as a whole, needs a deep cleaning. Windows and furniture were dusty and there were some dirty dishes in the cabinet. Overall, we weren’t disappointed in this property, however, we feel like the listing was inaccurate regarding the shared space.

• Beautiful place, beautiful location

  4/5

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Convenient to Hurricane Ridge and downtown Port Angeles. Plenty of room in the house and a large, flat back yard for the kids to run around. Everything was well stocked. Games available to play.

  They are strict on not wearing shoes in the house, which is understandable and not a big deal because we have the same rules at our house. Just a heads up to bring “house” shoes if needed!

  I knocked off a star because check in was different than any other VRBO - we had to meet with a lady on site, walk the property to check for damage, and sign two additional documents, which made me slightly uncomfortable (you really don’t have a choice but to sign them at that point). Other than that, I highly recommend this property!

• Lovely location in Port Angeles

  4/5

  We were a group of seven who stayed here in the early summer.

  The best thing about the property is definitely the view out the back. There are some nice chairs on a back patio where we had our coffee every morning while looking out over the ocean. The location also offers easy access to Olympic national Park.

  The kitchen was stocked for cooking. There were some basic spices which was helpful.

  We enjoyed the fire pit - had a great time one evening roasting marshmallows.

  I would like to emphasize the fact that there is a no shoe policy in the house. It does say this in the property description; however, we didn't pay enough attention. This was a significant factor for an older member of my party who has some arthritis in her feet. I would definitely bring house slippers if this is an issue for anyone in your group

  Although the house had been cleaned when we got there, it was a fairly superficial cleaning and there was still plenty of dust about. The check-in process was also unusual. I had never before been asked to sign separate damage waivers or perform a property inspection to assess for pre-existing damage at a VRBO. The list of checkout chores was rather onerous given the size of the cleaning fee that is being paid for the property.
