Cute little home for family beach fun
We loved the deck by the water with the canopy, the kayaks the paddle boards, and of course, all the seashells on the beach. The house was clean and was very well stocked with everything you needed. . Even the little cabin above was all stocked and very neat.
The location was amazing. We loved watching the tide rise and fall throughout the day. A perfect spot for our family back adventure. Thank you for sharing your fantastic home with us.
Water views out every window. You would need to stay a week to enjoy all the amenities. Everything adults or kids need is there. We drank wine on the deck watching the tide, cooked hot dogs over a driftwood fire in the fire ring, sat in the hot tub and so much more. You won’t find a more comfortable, complete place to vacation.
We had a great time. Things I particularly appreciated:
* tons of stuff for the kids: plastic plates and cups, lots of puzzles and craft stuff, and they love the bunk bed and stuffies
* everything you need for a great morning out on the water - life vests in many sizes, water shoes etc
* very effective blinds on the windows (I like it dark when I sleep)
Just a couple things need a little attention:
* the bunk bed just needs its bolts tightened up, it's a bit wiggly
* the hot tub is due for a water change soon
And one thing that can't really be fixed, but I feel like I should mention - some of our party was staying up in the cabin, and as they walked up the trail in the dark something in the woods snarled at them. Based on audio clips from the internet, they think it was a cougar (maybe a mom concerned about people near her cubs?). Anywhere in the PNW with a forest potentially has this problem, but just FYI maybe at night you should take the driveway instead of the trail up to the cabin.
