Island house located on Stretch Island close to Fair Harbor

A Northwest dream vacation just an hour away from Seattle located on Stretch Island minutes from Fair Harbor. Contemporary cedar home w/.5 acres of beachfront only an hour and 20 minutes from Seattle. No ferries required, unless you'd like to boat over and drive from Bremerton, Southworth or Kingston.
Soak in the 180 degree view of the beach and Mt. Rainier from the living room with 20' tall prow fronted windows. The home has a large master suite upstairs with loft and crows nest. Downstairs hosts a large guestroom and bath. The house comfortably sleeps 6 people. We do not allow pets. We do not allow gatherings of any kind at the home without permission.
Explore acres of pristine private tideland, at low tide you can walk the rim of the entire Island. The beach offers many wildlife sightings - seals, otters, a multitude of sea ducks, eagles and herons, if you are lucky Orcas. The island is home to deer, Fox, Pheasant, Owls. Explore the North bay waters with kayak and SUP rentals in nearby Allyn.
For golf fans, Chamber's Bay in Tacoma recently hosted the U.S. Open is 40 minutes away. For those looking to play close by, the much lauded Gold Mountain Golf Club in Bremerton is only 15 miles away.
Guests have access to propane BBQ and outdoor dining table. The immediate beach is part of the rental property. Beaches North and South are private property, but you are free to explore and walk the beach in either direction.
Great for families or a romantic getaway. The beach is safe and accessible via community stairs. The island is an ideal retreat from the city for couples and families. The town of Allyn is nearby and has a great ice cream shop, Big Bubbas Burgers, our favorite Mexican restaurant, kayak and SUP rentals, and don't miss the chainsaw art outdoor gallery. The summer also offers the rare Drive-in Theater just 20 minutes away.
Need a location for a small wedding party ask me. We can accommodate 20 people outdoors. Separate day rate provided upon request.

Nice property. Quiet. great view.
There were a few little glitches but nothing major. one of us was a bit cold most of the time - might have had something to do with the gentle rain for 2 days. we slept well. the communication difficulty might have been a VRBO problem.

The house is super cute and cozy. Very well maintained and clean. The view includes Mount Rainier on clear days. We saw whales and sea lions from the deck. The neighborhood is quiet and the residents were all friendly.

Long weekend holiday
The property was beautiful and well-maintained! However, the deck is multiple levels iand is a trip hazard. Everyone tripped and fell at least once because of all the level changes. The owners would benefit to painting the different levels, different colors, or marking the level changes with tape.

Anniversary weekend
This is a beautiful property and a cozy clean home everything was great, only 2 ideas I would say moving forward. It says no dogs allowed, either the actual home owners own dogs or someone brought them anyways because the two down stairs couches were covered in white dog hair, I'm a dog owner so I just lint rolled both couches and all was good, but someone with a allergy may not agree. Second the property does not have beach access like I thought. Still 5 stars great home, beautiful sunrise and a quiet peaceful spot.

Good For Some, Not So Good For Others...
If you read other reviews you will see flying colors. I think for 90% of vacationers it will easily be a 9 or 10. For my parnter and I we enjoyed the stay overall, and the area and view are beautiful, no, stunning. But we independently felt the quality didn't meet our expectations, comparing this experience to other Vbro experiences. Keep in mind we have very high standards/expectations so we are not representative of most people. For us, it felt outdated and no touch of personalization. For example, there was no care/welcome package common for vacation rentals, and wifi was never communicated. Patio furniture was not arranged or set up for our expensive stay, until a day later after we left the premises to enjoy the area, which makes us wonder if the NEST camera at the door is used to monitor departures and arrivals. If so, a little too cyber surveillance for our taste. We would not stay there again unless accomedations were improved. Not for the generous price we paid. These things are subjective.

This place was absolutely perfect for a lowkey girls' weekend with a couple of friends. The setting and view couldn't be beat, and the home was very comfortable and had everything we needed. And excellent communication from owners. Would love to return in the summer!

Nice Getaway
Beautiful location right on the water and plenty of space to spread out. There were four of us and we could have used more dishes, one of the beds was noisy and uncomfortable, and some things were missing when arrived..dishwasher soap and bath soap. Laundry area had a lot of stuff piled, closets were locked so couldn’t hang clothes. This could be a great property with a little sprucing up.

Great Location
Overall, an enjoyable stay, but not impressed with the preparation of the property in advance of our stay. Patio furniture was not at all like in the listings - not set up, cushions were all in a closet, there were no lounge chairs or coffee table, most of the furniture was plastic, and there was no umbrella to provide shade on the very sunny patio. The interior of the grill was very rusted out and the grill brush was missing all of its bristles - we had to purchase one at the store. Inside, there seems to have been an issue with the housekeeper as there were no paper towels, no dishwasher detergent, no laundry detergent, and no body wash in the showers. When I communicated this to the host the response was that the housekeeper was supposed to take care of that, but offered no solution - we ended up going to the grocery store to purchase these supplies. The smoke alarm in the master bedroom was low on battery, and was beeping incessantly so we had to remove it from the ceiling and pull the battery. Upon returning to the house one night to prepare dinner and enjoy the deck, there were landscapers performing maintenance on the property - at 5PM, which is kind of a strange time to be there and quite a nuisance. We enjoyed our time here, but for the money, we will likely look for alternative accommodations should we return to Stretch Island. Also, there were no checkout instructions on either the listing or posted in the house, so we did our best.
