Picturesque beautiful Port Orchard home away from home
Our stay started with great communication from Melissa, she was welcoming, helpful and accommodating to our requests. Home was well taken care of, furnished and updated. Plenty of space for our family to have room to stretch out, play and relax. Accommodations were comfortable and thought out. The bay away is right next to the road but felt quiet throughout the visit. The weather wasn’t super cooperative but the deck looked wonderful to use. Location was an easy ferry ride in from the city and a short drive away a waterfront shopping area. Enjoyed the waterfront trail for a run. Was a great trip, if we stay in port orchard again this will be at the top of the list!

Amazing house. Everything that we could possibly need! No surprise charges. It is on a busy road and weekday/work traffic was quite a bit but we chose it knowing this because the location/size/price was absolutely perfect for us!

Our favorite rental property ever
This property checks all the boxes in terms of ease of booking and communication, amenities and considerations included, and just a phenomenal home and layout overall. We were in town for my husband’s military promotion and had plenty of room to spread out with us, our 2 young children, and husband’s parents. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything we needed to make family meals, and the bathrooms even had toiletries available. This is our number one pick ever, coming from a family that travels 3-4 times per year and always stays in vacation homes. We loved it, and will definitely select this one again if we return to the area!

Stay for a 50th
I chose this home since it was “centrally” located between Sequim and Gig Harbor. We enjoyed our stay, the only issue we had was a bit of noise from the basement and the main floor walking around. The house was well appointed with everything you could need. We all enjoyed our stay and would probably stay again.

Wonderful home in Port Orchard
This house was great for our family and a friends visit. Plenty of space on 3 levels. It was very well stocked and comfortable. The weather was not conducive to enjoy the outside area but it looked great. Beds were great and all was clean. I’d recommend this house and stay there again.

Spacious house, well-equipped with open kitchen, dining and entertainment area on the main floor. Plenty of room and accommodation for a family gathering. Nice view of the bay. The weather was wet and cold, so we were unable to take advantage of the huge wrap around deck.

Great family get-a-way!
Such a great place- so much room and space for everyone. There were 6 of us and with 3 levels to the home, everyone had room. The house was fully stocked, had a large table for our board games and plenty of room in the living room for everyone to gather and watch a movie. We did contact the property manager and her responses were quick and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.
