Wonderful location with everything a family needs
We have 3 kids 5 and under, this house was perfect for them to explore the beach, the National Parks, and Olympia, including the Children’s Museum. The tram/trolley works perfectly and couldn’t be easier to operate, and the kids loved the ride.

Lovely home
This amazing home just steps from Johnson Point is comfortable and well-equipped. The setting with the waves lapping at the shore and Mt. Rainier in the distance is the perfect getaway. And the tram to access the property is not only practical, it's a fun ride. I highly recommend this home.

Beautiful location overlooking Mt Rainier!
We had a lovely time at the relaxing waterfront escape. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, fully equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi, kayaks & comfy beds. We enjoyed cold plunging in the Sound followed by warming up in the hot tub & walking on the beach with our pups. The host was very accommodating to our requests.

Great family vacation stay
Beautiful, quiet, and chic, this beach house went beyond our expectations. Our family had plenty of room to relax inside or out, enjoying morning views of wildlife and even a peek of Mt Ranier. The host was friendly and responsive and my kids keep asking when can we go back to the beach house. Location was also great and only 15-20 min from everything! Wonderful stay! Would definitely book again.

All it appears to be and then some!
Beautiful property with beautiful views. The house was immaculate and very well stocked with dishes and utensils to prepare food for small groups. There is plenty of room and activities to keep you occupied, or just the perfect place to just relax. The communication and check in process was a super easy too! It’ll be my place to stay when I visit Olympia in the future. Thank you!

We certainly enjoyed our stay :) kudos to the host for accommodating our change in dates.
We had originally scheduled for early November but had to move it back to December. Wished we could have enjoyed the outdoors and amenities more but none the less we cozied up and enjoyed just being together. Id like to go back in the summer!! Thank you to our host she was perfect! Cute place and exactly as pictured.

One of the Best!
Don't miss this cute and cozy beach house on the bay! It is a worth the long haul down to the house. (there is a tram coming that will make the stairs nearly a non issue) it is super clean and well equipped in every way. The beds and other furnishings are super comfy. It was hard to get out of those beds in morning. We are seasoned travelers and this is near the top of our list! Will gladly stay again!

Relaxing beach stay
Had a fabulous time visiting for my sons third birthday. The house itself is beautiful, well maintained, clean and relaxing. Theres a tram to get down to the house (which my kiddos thoroughly enjoyed) because the house sits right on the beach. At high tide the water was up to the retaining wall, at low tide we explored the beach and saw seals and some orca whales! We rented a pontoon from the marina, which is super close and boated out to the different inlets so beautiful! The fact that you can wake up to a sunrise right over the water, with a giant mountain in view! 10/10 would recommend

Magical location & very comfortable house
Our stay was so nice! From the dramatic tram entrance to the Mt. Rainier views, this little gem nestled near the top of Johnson’s Point was perfect for us! So relaxing to just sit by the water and stare at the view. Plenty of outdoor space to soak up the sun or stay cool in the shade. The hot tub views are incomparable! Even in hot weather (85 degrees+) the bedrooms stayed cool. Leaving a window or door open at night let’s the sound of the sound lull you to sleep (perfect screen placement helps 😉). 12/10 would definitely recommend!

Awesome Vacation
My wife and I just finished our vacation at your house and quite frankly we were sad for our time to end in the house. What an awesome place, we have rented a few places from Home Away before and this house takes the prize. Its location is one of the finest. Nothing like taking a afternoon nap while listening to the waves lapping against the beach. You truly only have to bring the food, everything else is there. We travel to the area annually and if the house is available we will be staying again. Signed Sorry our vacation ended

Incredible views, charming home
The house is older but feels quaint in a cozy way. The views and the outdoor space is what makes this an easy 5 star review though. Mt Rainier is front and center when you look outside (even from your bed in the morning 😍) and we saw SO MUCH WILDLIFE! I grew up in Washington and I saw more wildlife in 3 days at this property than I did in basically all my childhood. There were seals, herons, scores of porpoises playing, fish jumping out of the water, the occasional raccoon, I woke up to deer walking along the shore every morning, and I even saw an otter on the floating dock. I honestly felt like I had walked into a Disney movie. The sunsets were breathtaking. The sunrises even better. And the view from the hot tub is something else entirely. Do yourself a favor and stay here. I know I'll be back!

Wonderful family place.
Our family of five (including a 12 year-old, nine-year-old, and six-year-old) loved our stay at this location. We were only able to stay three nights, but on the first night we had the opportunity to watch seals feeding right off the back yard. The kids loved this. We also had a sunset view of Mt. Rainer that evening. The kids enjoyed watching the tide go in and out. We are from Mid-Missouri so they don't get those kinds of experiences. The location is secluded. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves. We caught a glimpse of a couple neighbors, but it was very peaceful there. However, Walmart, gas stations, etc. are only a few minutes drive away. The owners are very organized and helpful. They provided plenty of information before and during our stay to make us comfortable. The house is very clean and well-stocked. It was definitely worth the 2,000 mile drive.

Beautiful escape
This was such a fun place to stay with my family (two adults, one kid, one dog) from Seattle and our friends (two adults, two kids, one dog) from Portland. About halfway between, so easy drive for everyone. And the kids and dogs had a blast on the beach, in the funicular, in the separate media room - just everywhere. Meanwhile the balcony and the under-cover back porch provided peaceful moments with a cup of coffee for the adults. Would love to come back.

Stellar house on the water with view of Mt Rainier
Spent Thanksgiving weekend and we are used to bringing roasting pan, casserole pans, spices, flour. sugar, etc. None of that was necessary. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Tracey even asked if she should bring down a turkey roasting pan. The view is fantastic and just a few steps down to walkable beach if the tides not in. Beds are comfy. There's enough comfortable living room seating for our group. We even watched one of the many movies available. Was perfect for our group. We've been staying a beach lodging for Thanksgiving for over 30 years and this is the best one by far.

Perfect long weekend getaway on the water!
Everything about this property was excellent! Very clean, kitchen well-stocked (bring your own coffee grinder if needed), the views were stunning! There's a newly installed tram that really helps transport people and luggage rather than taking the stairs and it worked perfectly! As we were taken to the house via the tram we were impressed with the view of the mountain over the water — amazing! Hot tub is well positioned for a view of the water and mountains. So relaxing to sit on the deck and listen to the waves. Kayaks were provided and getting out on the water was super fun! Nothing but good things to say about this magical place. Hope to go back one day! Cheers!

Pure Relaxation
First of all, the brand new cable-trolley is wonderful! We enjoyed using the stairs to the house as a little workout and to justify that much more snacking, but for hauling our things/food/trash/firewood/etc up and down -- the trolley is a dream! The water and wildlife are gorgeous, the sunrise view was unreal, the house was cleaned, stocked, and practical. The host was communicative, responsive and accommodating despite being on an international trip herself (plus, she still provided 2 additional contacts with the extensive welcome information). There were virtually no questions that could have arisen that weren't in the house manual or the welcome info, but when they did we received prompt and courteous responses. We couldn't have possibly fit in all that there is to enjoy in a few night stay and that was fine because the serenity and peace of this place is worth quietly soaking in. I would love to come back!

Mother’s and toddlers weekend
Tracey is the best host I’ve ever met in our vacation rental experience and she made our stay extremely enjoyable and memorable. Her cottage beach home is so adorable with such a beautiful view! Our stay was so relaxing despite having 3 kids under 3 with us. On a sunny day you can see Mt Rainer in the distance to the northeast. We sat in the swing and watched the various birds fly by and even saw a seal playing in the ocean distance. It is such an idyllic and serene location on the water. The kids also enjoyed walking on the beach and collecting sea shells and finding crabs. The cottage is clean, and well equipped with everything. We were able to cook breakfast and spend the morning and evenings sipping on coffee and tea/wine relaxing in the yard overlooking the ocean and the islands. Tracey was very responsive and quickly answered a couple of questions I had. Just an overall perfect stay for all of us. Could not recommend it more! Will definitely return.
