THE CARMICHAEL: LUXURY VACATION RENTAL
Escape to the tranquility of the Kitsap Peninsula! This one-of-a-kind luxury estate has a modern living area and multiple levels of Victorian design. We welcome corporate groups, families and pets!
The entire home has stunning views of the water & Olympic mountains. Enjoy the Dyes Inlet beach, mere steps away, and the newly added inflatable paddleboards (life vests provided).
An Eclectic, Special Home
Our unique home was built from Victorian house plans. Every room has beautiful period details and we
have furnished it to accentuate these features. In the early 2000s an addition was built, creating a
completely separate modern living space. Both ‘sides’ share an updated kitchen. You can choose to eat
meals at the kitchen counter or in front of the TV, or, set up the formal dining room with gold painted
tin tile ceilings and your choice of several sets of china and silverware, table cloths and cloth napkins..
We welcome groups for family or corporate events and we allow pets!
The entire home has stunning views of the water & Olympic mountains. Enjoy having high tea looking
out at the water or having a BBQ on the large deck.
A quiet public boat launch is less than 25 yards from the driveway. Bring your boat, jet ski or kayaks to
slip right into the water. There are 4 inflatable paddleboards available, and multiple sizes of life vests. A
special waiver needs to be signed to utilize these items.
There are three bedrooms with large closets- 2 queen beds and 1 king. For guest overflow there are two
attic rooms with a total of 6 twin beds (one attic space has 4 twin beds and a lounging area to play video
games, and the second attic space has two twin beds, yoga mats and hand weights.)
Step outside to a selection of outdoor spaces designed for relaxation and entertainment. Whether it's
gathering around the firepit on the expansive patio, enjoying the morning air on the wraparound porch,
or hosting a barbecue over the carport on the sizable deck, you'll find the perfect spot to unwind.
Choose between a gas or charcoal grill to suit your culinary preferences.
Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family retreat, a gathering of friends or bridal party, this
half-Victorian, half-modern estate promises an unforgettable experience where the best of both worlds
merge in perfect harmony.

We kindly ask that this residence be left in the same condition as you see it upon arrival.
Please also acknowledge the following:
1. We do not host groups who are all 21 years of age or younger. If everyone in your group is 21 years of age or younger, then please do not place a reservation. It will be cancelled and subject to our cancellation policy.
2. Local residents are not allowed to place a booking without pre-approval from us. This is to prevent locals from using our residence as a party house.
3. Please note that we only release door codes to the person who booked the reservation and every guest must provide a valid, government issued photo ID. No 3rd party bookings; the person who booked the reservation must be one of the guests staying for the duration of the booking.
4. All guests must be accounted for in the reservation. This means all guests entering the residence/building at any point in time counts as a guest. In other words, the definition of a guest is not limited to only those people planning on sleeping inside the unit, but to all guests planning to be inside the unit at any given time. For example, if 6 people are going to “hang out” inside the unit, but only 2 people plan on sleeping over, then the guest count selecting during the booking should be “6” not “2.” Any extra guests not disclosed before arrival will lead to an immediate termination of the reservation non-refundable, require that all guests vacate the premises immediately, incur a $100 penalty/unauthorized guest/per night charge, and we will seek compensation for any damages that are found upon our subsequent inspection of the property.
5. No parties/events. We have relationships with our neighbors, and we respect their rights as homeowners. Therefore, we will know if parties are being held.
