Three delightful weeks in The Beach Loft
The property was very clean, comfortable, well equipped and perfect for a relaxing vacation. It is a swimmers paradise! Laurie and Jay were ideal hosts who were always ready to offer help and suggestions. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We appreciate their thoughtfulness and generous hospitality. This property is conveniently located 7 miles from Belfair where you can purchase everything you need. The ferry to Seattle is 20 minutes away. It was a great vacation!

Warm, Friendly and Wonderful
This is a cute beach cottage with wonderful hosts. The unit was clean and the views were amazing. What we really enjoyed were the wonderful hosts. I would give them 10 stars. They are the sweetest and most accommodating hosts we have ever had. They even took us on their boat to see the orcas that were passing through the canal. Wonderful stay and if ever back in the PNW, we will definitely stay again.

Lovely spot with kind hosts!
We really enjoyed our stay here and the hosts were very generous and helpful throughout our stay! The view is absolutely stunning and we really enjoyed the campfires on the beach, beachcombing and in-house massages! The only thing that we struggled to enjoy was the memory foam beds, which were overly squishy and difficult to get used to. I'm sure some other people are more used to these type of beds, but perhaps getting more standard mattresses might suit a wider range of guests. Overall a lovely stay and we will definitely be back again! Many thanks, S&B

Hood Canal Vacation
The owners were great and gladly answered questions. The design of the place is well thoughtout and looks wonderful. The place looks very clean. Their kitchen is full with all the necessary supplies. We were given access to the kayaks, paddle boards, etc. and this made our trip more fun. There are chairs and umbrellas out on the beach and I enjoyed having coffee there in the morning.

Wonderful, Exceeded Expectations
I've stayed in a dozen or more VRBO properties. This is the first time I've felt compelled to write a review. Top 5 reasons to stay here (they are all ranked first): 1. Location/Property: Beautiful spot, right on the water. Sunrise and sunset views. Huge lawn area. Beautiful garden. Seating, with umbrellas, everywhere. Fire pits stalked with firewood. Floating dock. 1. The Unit: Spotless. Fresh. Comfortable. Beautifully decorated. Great beds. Well appointed. 1. The People: Easiest owners to work with. Welcoming. Great to talk with. Love what they do. Clearly spend all of their time keeping up the property. Everything is well maintained and newly painted. And they have plans for future upgrades that don't appear needed but will only enhance the experience. 1. Amenities: In addition to chairs and umbrellas and fire pits and a floating dock there are paddle boards and kayaks and water shoes and everything you need in the kitchen and a great BBQ and plenty of parking and massage right on the property. 1. Value: Based on the price we paid we did not expect this to be as great as it is. Exceeded all expectations. We'll be back.

Awesome Experience!
Highly recommend staying here! Jay and Laurie are amazing hosts. The loft is super cute and has great views of the water. The property is incredible with lots of beach toys to enjoy. Do yourself a favor and book a massage with Laurie. Best massage I’ve ever had. We can’t wait to go back next summer!

Amazing! Great for Babies & Adults
We absolutely loved our stay here. Great views, find your dinner on the beach, and so many activities. There was so much to do we only left the property to restock food. A great rental for babies! Highchair and pack and play were provided. Laurie even sanitized toys and books for our 1 year old. The hosts are so friendly, accommodating, and thoughtful. Laurie left us champagne to celebrate an anniversary and birthday. They also installed a patio gate before we arrived to keep our crawling daughter safe. We loved our stay here and will be back for sure.

Excellent Location!! Very Prompt, Friendly and Helpful Communications
My wife and I and two 15 year old girls had a great time while spending most of a week here. Paddle boards, kayaks, lifejackets, water shoes, rakes/shovels for oysters and butter clams (and an abundance of both), a bbq, etc, etc were all readily available and in great condition. The living area and kitchen are both roomy and wonderful with tons of utensils (everything I could imagine one might want or need), a full refrigerator, microwave, stove, etc. and plenty of spices. The beds are super comfy!!! Simply put, it’s a great place!!

Lovely stay with a gorgeous view
What a lovely place to call home for a week! The cabin was clean and super well-appointed (we cooked a full-blown Thanksgiving meal on the amazing vintage stove). The location is right on the water, which is fantastic for strolling, sunset watching, and oyster-picking! The hosts were friendly and helpful and easy to communicate with. Can't recommend highly enough!

Awesome rental
We stayed at the property for 5 days and had an excellent time. We had a fantastic firework show right in front of the ocean on the property. We kayakers frequently and harvested a ton of clams right on the property. Jay and laurie were excellent hosts whom helped us with the kayaks and even shucked oysters for us. They also directed us to many fishing locations and state parks in the area. The property was well equipped with everything we needed. We will rent this property again in the future.!!!!

Very Nice But Needs Improvement
While we truly enjoyed staying at the Beach Loft, there were some things that could be improved. There were some dirty kitchen utensils (dried food) and cookware was very old. There could have been more useful items in the kitchen like a liquid measuring cup, small saucepans, a ladle, a colander, better kitchen towels and overall better frying pans. The bed was comfortable but the smell of scented laundry soap or dryer sheets was off putting. The bathroom rug appeared to need washing but the supply and quality of towels was good with the exception of dryer sheet smell. We loved the living room but the morning sun was so bright coming through the big windows we had to put on our sun glasses for awhile. Laurie and Jay were absolutely wonderful and they even shucked and prepared some oysters for us! Delicious! Overall we had a very quiet and restful stay which was our goal. The large beach property is magnificent. Thank You Laurie and Jay. We really had a nice time

Heaven close to Home
We can not say enough about Laurie and Jay and their slice of Heaven. My husband and I and our friends only had 3 days for a get away. So we found the Beach Loft and only 30 mins away. We asked for an early check in and check out. Laurie was so sweet to give us those extra hours and we used every second. The Loft is bright, cheerful and relaxing! Simple decor, fully stocked kitchen, lots of towels and comfy beds. Beautiful view of the Beach and Hood Canal and access to sit at the shore. You can kayak or paddle board or take a swim. We had a pleasant time using the fire pit and Laurie even supplies the makings of Smores. Even though there are neighbors nearby, we had all the privacy wanted. Jay encouraged us to do some clamming and they were delicious! They put together a great book that gives you ideas of things to do and places to eat at. We are already planning another visit. We recommend this place and the very fine owners a 1000%
