Holiday rentals with a kayak in Dabob Bay

Amazing stay! Great location and lots of wildlife for the kids to watch. House was exactly as described and the hosts were very flexible, friendly, and responsive. :)

Very clean. Peaceful and relaxing. Good bed, slept well. Beautiful setting and view of the lake. Steve and his wife were very helpful, friendly, and responsive. Felt at home. Thank you both very much!

It a wonderful visit! The beauty surrounding this place is amazing. We saw so much wildlife. Will definitely consider staying here again when we visit family.

Beautiful, serene, and private location—perfect for a peaceful family getaway. The home was well-equipped with thoughtful amenities, and our toddlers especially loved the toys. The space felt safe, comfortable, and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Home with a beautiful view of the water and, if you use the provided kayaks to go a couple hundred yards north, a view of the snowcapped mountains in the park as well. We saw a lot of wildlife from the kayaks. Good for stargazing when it's clear. If it had rained, the couches by the giant windows overlooking the canal would have been the perfect spot to settle in with a book and watch the rain. A great base to explore the area and recharge after, and roomy and comfortable for four adults. Jay was quick to respond to any question.

Our stay at the Ostrich nest was great! Right on the water, with plenty of amenities and a fantastic outdoor space to take advantage of. We kayaked around the island in about 95 leisurely minutes using the provided kayaks and paddles. A/C was available but not needed - yet good to know it was there. The kitchen had everything you'd expect from a short term rental as well. All in all, it was a good weekend.

Amazing, quiet, and beautiful location right on the lake. Very affordable too!

We had such a lovely stay here over the Easter weekend – it was everything we hoped for and more! The house is clean, beautifully kept, and the views? Absolutely breathtaking. It’s one of those rare places that feels even better in person than in the pictures. It had everything we could possibly need – and then some. The hosts were simply wonderful – super friendly, accommodating, and just really easy to talk to. They made the whole experience feel warm and personal, not distant or transactional in any way. They even let us check in early and check out late, which made a huge difference for us with kids. Our days were filled with beach walks, seafood harvesting adventures, backyard chill time, and gorgeous sunsets. It felt like a perfect little reset from our busy lives. We were also celebrating our daughter’s 4th birthday during the stay, and she had an absolute blast. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you Dale & Carol.

Absolutely beautiful location and very close to Olympic National Park hiking, lakes, and amenities. It was so nice to come back after a long day of hiking to then dip into the lake and paddle board to relax. The cabin in small, as listed, but functional for a couple. All meals were cooked in the kitchen or on the gas grill outside. We had a small issue the first evening but Bonnie was super responsive. I would return to this cabin on my next trip to the park.

Good cozy place. Very convenient for our shrimping week with the dock and location. Our buddies booked their other place right below and we had a great time.

Peaceful lakeside location with excellent communication from the host. Everything was perfect! This stay exceeded our expectations. The location is absolutely stunning—just steps from the lake, with plenty of space to relax and take it all in. Thanks again!

We had a lovely stay at Cassandra and Eric's cottage. The space is cozy and bright. The location is very private and tranquil, well off the highway with numerous hikes close by. The view is truly the highlight. We were riveted by the nearby eagle activity! The beds are extremely comfortable and everyone slept well. Highly recommended!

I visited the cottage to escape the city for a few days. This place is absolutely adorable— completely drenched in natural sunlight. It manages to maintain its historical charm while also feeling modern. I did some remote work during the visit & the WiFi worked perfectly— I could even get signal sitting outside. It was a little too chilly to take advantage of the water, but even just sitting outside on the floating dock or the balcony provided a lot of peace. This place is the perfect mixture of providing a secluded feel while still being just a short drive to grocery/ restaurants. I truly loved my stay here & am already trying to figure out when I might be back!

We celebrated a birthday here with 5 adults and a newborn, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The home is beautifully decorated with such kindness and thought—it felt incredibly cozy and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We spent our days kayaking on the water, spotting seals, birds, and even a curious raccoon who came to visit the porch during dinner! It was such a special feeling to be so close to nature, yet so comfortable at the same time. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook delicious dinners together, and we really appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the house. My guests kept commenting on how much love clearly went into this home. And the deck… absolutely breathtaking. I couldn’t have wished for a better birthday. Truly a magical and memorable stay—we can’t wait to come back!

Spend one of the best weekends at Danielle’s place. Comfortable and clean, great location for the perfect getaway. Highly recommended!

This place is amazing! I loved that it was like staying at a friend's house - it had so much character. Not boring and staged like a hotel. There wasn't an "owner's closet" like most rentals. Jess is a beautiful soul that shares her amazing space and genuinely wants you to enjoy every minute. From the decor to the records, hammock, outdoor tub, kayaks, exploring the low tide wildlife...everything brought peace and relaxation. We never even turned on the television...it was magical!

I hesitate to reveal how great Carl's place is because I don't want it to become so popular that it becomes hard for me to book. The setting is spectacular. If you like to cook, the kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans everything you need. There are also basic staples that renters can use. If you don't like to cook, a lakeside restaurant is a short walk from Carl's. The restaurant is currently open Wed- Sun. We went on a couple of short hikes that were close by. Millersylvania Park is about a 15 min. drive. We also enjoyed seeing the Monarch Butterfly Sculpture Garden. Lots of outdoor art and a fun area for kids (or adults) to play in. I had some questions for Carl and he always responded quickly and clearly. Carl and Sue make available everything that the renter might forget to bring: Toothbrushes, Q-tips, shampoo, etc. Did I mention the jar of chocolates? We are not fishing enthusiasts, but it looks like that could be fun. Carl also has kayaks & life vests.

We had a wonderful and peaceful vacation weekend in Allyn! Fang’s home was easy to get to and settle into. We loved watching the water and tides, and it was easy to walk to restaurant, coffee shops and more. We spent most of our days on day trips in the region (Staircase Ridge & Hama Hama Oysters, and the Tacoma Zoo). This was the perfect place to recharge. We also loved the kayaks and hot tub, and generally cozy space. Fang was proactive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay as well.

Beautiful cottage on the water! The surroundings are very peaceful. Nice to watch the tides. the kitchen was well outfitted includingna gas range and teapot! Loved it, thanks, Erin!

The Hideaway was everything we hoped it would be and more. The hosts made sure the house was clean and inviting. They also provided so many unexpected and wonderful details…luxury bath products, a basket of snacks, a dog bed and toy for our pup…and they even setup the firewood in the main fire pit so we didn’t even have to struggle building our own fire! Plus! Don’t even get me started on the sauna…it was EVERYTHING. We have stayed at a good number of Air bnb places over the years and this was far and away our favorite place. It’s beautiful. Book it!

They provided all the necessary support in a very professional manner. The scenery by the lake near the cabin is absolutely beautiful. Whether you’re inside the house, out in the yard, or by the lake, you can easily find plenty of things to do and enjoy. It’s a pity I could only stay for one night this time. I’d love to come back and stay longer if I have the chance in the future.

This was the perfect get away cabin! It’s just far enough out of the cities to feel secluded but close to enough to not feel like it’s a constant commute to do anything. The cabin was extremely well stocked and a very comfortable stay. Every evening was perfect with the deck and views to settle down for the night. I hope to be able to come again soon!

Inside and out, this place is amazing! There is so much to do on site, I calI it the "yes" house. Can you use the indoor fireplace? Yes! Can you use the grill? Yes! Can you use the kayaks? Yes! Everything you see is shared with you! (A note on the kayaks, they were too tipsy for us so next time we'll try their standup paddleboards.) In addition, this is the most well-stocked house I HAVE EVER SEEN! Tons of towels, blankets, etc but then additional things that save you trips to the store... matches, batteries, and a FULLY loaded kitchen! Our favorite activities were hunting for sea treasures, watching all the harbor seals pop their little heads up, making campfires in the evening, and watching the ferry when it chose to dock at the terminal that's right in front of the house. (There is an amazing view from the upstairs bedroom when it's there!) If there's poor weather, the house is still loaded with fun from games, puzzles, and a huge projector screen tv down in the ferry room.

The house was beautiful and so was the view! The home gives a retro cabin vibe with colorful accents. The host was very clear and helpful with their instructions. We had lots of fun out on the lake and relaxing in the hot tub.
