No propane
The property is very nice. There was no propane for the fire pit or BBQ. The hot tub had way too much chlorine, it burned our eyes. The telescope was upside down as well, my husband turned it around.

Beautiful location and lodging.
My daughter and I stayed for 3 nights. Ruth made sure communication was smooth and sent us recommendations for things to do, restaurants, etc. The location is beautiful and quiet except for the airplanes going over. Didn't bother us at night to sleep, but as suggested we had the doors open in the evening to cool things down since there is no air conditioner. So every time a plane went over it was loud. With the doors closed it wasn't an issue. The location is not far from the freeway and/or getting into Seattle for touristy stuff. There aren't a lot of restaurant options nearby - have to go about 5 miles to find more than a couple. But there is a Safeway about 2-3 miles away. And that's the whole point of staying here - it's NOT in the city. But you need to plan in advance that it's NOT in the city. With the fridge, microwave, coffee maker, etc it's not hard, just need to be aware. IT'S WORTH IT, but that's the reason I gave a 4 for location. Internet was great if you need to work. Owners were responsive to our requests and we barely even knew they were on the property at all. If we needed something they would drop it off on the porch and text that it was there. Would recommend.

The location is beautiful, clean, and private. The hosts are very kind. They are very responsive. The stay was peaceful and refreshing. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! A slice of paradise for sure! We even saw some porpoises in the Sound! The only downside and it's VERY minor. There truly is NOT a kitchen or kitchenette in the property. There is a small fridge, a hot plate and coffee pot but not a sink, etc. that you would call a kitchen. However, again, we didn't really plan on cooking anyway. 5 star location and hosts!

Lots of extras
The property is very serene. The use of a private firepit and hot tub is super special. There are thoughtful extras, including a sound machine for sound sleep, two coffee makers, and trash & recycling options. It was very quick and easy to get to Seattle without staying in Seattle. We highly recommend the waterview suite.

Great jumping off place.
We choose this place for the location being close to the airport. The extra bonus is in the place itself with view of the sound in a neat neighborhood perched on the shores. This is not a quiet place with it being in the glide slope of SeaTac. It seemed the busiest times were early in the morning and about 9 in the evening. The place was very clean a full of supplies. There's a Trader Joes a couple of miles away so we bought drinks and a couple of microwave dinners. The owners would kind enough to bake a batch of croissants that we had purchased at TJs as there is no oven. Overall a very nice place to stay while in the area!

Perfect for our stay
My husband and I enjoyed our relaxed stay. The airplane noise from SeaTac Airport was noticeable because we are not used to it where we live - it did not interfere with our sleep. We enjoyed watching the porpoises through our binoculars in the morning. We were very comfortable and communication with our host was great. We appreciated the wine and yummy chocolate!

Clean and Cozy
Excellent directions to find the place and the door. Reasonable instructions for staying (removing outdoor shoes upon entering to protect floors). Rooms were well lit, comfortable bed. Everything was very clean. We greatly enjoyed sitting outside or inside with the doors open. They provided a kettle, expresso machine (we did not use so can't review specifically), and keurig. Microwave and small fridge were nice too. Extra towels were provided, along with cleaning supplies which we greatly appreciated. Would love to stay again. However, VRBO messed up the merger with Hotels.com so I'll be deleting this account and using the other one that was created. so when we stay again, it will be under a different VRBO account. This is one property I am saving on the new account.

Great view, but airplane noise
The room was awesome and roomy, the bed very comfortable, great shower, nice large T.V. Terrific view! The eating table was small, a tall bistro table. Would have been nice to have a larger table to play games on, there is lots of room for one. Some footstools for the couch maybe? The gas fireplace didn't work, maybe out of fuel, but owners were gone for the day, so no way to find out. Don't know if there are tanks that have gauges to be checked for levels, but would be nice if guests didn't have to be responsible for that. Didn't meet, but host super friendly by text! :-). One caution if you are a light sleeper, this is near SeaTac airport, so there is a lot of plane traffic, especially on Sunday morning.

Best place for a couples get away.
This was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. The view of the bay from the outdoor seating area was beautiful, and on a clear day you can see mountains in the distance. The location was very ideal as well - right by several state parks, Seattle and Tacoma, Sea-Tac airport, and a small town where you could go out to eat or get groceries. The hosts were very kind and helpful, and the House itself was perfect for cozy couples weekend. We had a great time and would love to return next time we are in town!
