Holiday rentals with a kayak in Strait of Juan de Fuca

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.

Such a gorgeous location- we spend so much time on the deck just enjoying the view and the birds, and the kayaks and cruiser bikes were so much fun! Beautiful open indoor space, with vaulted ceilings and giant slider doors that let sunlight and the glorious view inside. Friendly, responsive hosts- We’ll definitely be back!

What an amazing home!! We loved the cottage decor with all the little nooks to hang out, books and games, telescope, cozy blankets. The views from the living room and patio were spectacular. We spent our mornings watching hundreds of herons fishing in the low tide! Walking down the beach to the southern point was so quiet and peaceful. Then ending our nights back out on the patio with a fire - such a relaxing time. Dawn’s home was also so great for our pup. He loved basking in the sun on the patio and exploring the water just steps away. Driving the short loop toward the ferry is well worth the amazing view of Mt Baker, and we enjoyed a little ferry trip to Lummi island, although the cottage is so comfortable and relaxing, we would have been happy not leaving at all during the day too!

Amazing stay with family. Everyone including the kids had a wonderful time. We had great weather in May and got to take advantage of the beach and kayaks several times. Nearby golf and tennis was great, two guest played 9 holes and a bunch of us played pickleball. Everyone was sad to leave and we all said we would love to come back. Such an amazing property in a beautiful corner of the world. Thanks for sharing it with us!

We had a great stay at this cabin. It was close to the water with wonderful views, and it was convenient to be able to take the kayaks straight down from the house for some afternoon paddling. We saw so much wildlife while out on the water, including bald eagles, hawks, egrets, crabs, and starfish. Gail was a responsive host, helped us out with flexible check in and check out times, and even mailed us a set of earbuds that one of our group forgot at the cabin. Thanks for a great stay, Gail!

Cutest place we’ve ever stayed in. The mural is adorable and great for family pictures, and we loved the view of snow-covered mountains from the dining room. Fenced in yard was perfect for our little ones. Amenities were fantastic. We didn’t get to spend much time with them, but the host has board/card games, national parks books, and more for family entertainment. Furniture is very comfortable and nice. Host was responsive and friendly, and you can tell a lot of effort has been put into making this a top-notch experience

The Ravens nest is perfect. Clean, quiet, friendly hosts. We stayed a week and didn't want to leave. The space is well laid out with a small sitting room at the front with a view of the entrance to Active pass and Miners Bay. There are loads of extras like condiments in the fridge, coffee pods (2 per day) sugar, food wraps, etc. Tim and Patti were very friendly but never intrusive. Although the suite is on the bottom level we never really heard any sounds from them. I recommend 100 percent. Thank you Tim and Patti!

What an awesome place! Everyone loved it. The beds were comfy and the views were otherworldly. The water everywhere was gorgeous. All the little touches were thoughtful, such as the kayaks and cornhole. We loved hanging out here. The host was very responsive and thoughtful during check-in. We’d happily return!

We were lucky enough to spend the whole month of May in this little slice of paradise! For a small place, very well equipped and comfortable! You cannot beat the location and being just steps from the water. A time we will always cherish! Thank you!!

Beautiful, cozy, and peaceful cabin. We loved our stay and hope to be back!

Eric was a great host and made sure our check in process was smooth. He was frequently available and responded quickly. Eric's place is in a great location with beautiful views. The place was cleaned well and stocked with everything you could need. We thoroughly enjoyed their place and Washington.

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!

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!

Our long weekend was absolutely outstanding! The location was stellar and we saw jumping fish, herons, and seals daily. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some delicious meals and we felt right at home. It was a rainy weekend but the home had games and a beautiful wood fireplace to keep us warm. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Our daughter had her first sleep in a “big girl bed” at your house, and our dog slept soundly on the floor beside her. We had the best sleep of our lives with the window cracked and the sound of the ocean. We will definitely be back!

What an absolute treasure of a location! We had a glorious time & thoroughly enjoyed the beach access & the serenity of the property. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Beautiful place and amazing view. Enjoyed being right on the water - rooms, decks, fire pit(s), and hot tub were amazing. Really enjoyed watching the sea otters in the Sound. Well cared for place.

We had such an amazing, relaxing, and peaceful stay at this little cabin on the lake. Wayne and family were all wonderful and the pups made us feel right at home. If you like lake views out everywindow, cozy fires, sitting in the hot tub as you watch the sun set, and loving on some pups then this the spot for you. It's small. It's comfortable. It's got everything you need and the hosts are lovely. We loved this spot so much we just booked our next visit. See you guys soon!

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.

This lake was beautiful. I love that there are no electric/gas motors on the lake. The hot tub was spectacular, the fire pit was great, and the kayaks were in great shape. We took them for a trip around the lake. The water is clear and you can see the bottom almost everywhere. The beds upstairs are so soft and the couch was comfy. Overall a great experience. I felt safe there and it was cozy. 10/10 I would go again.

Our annual getaway with three families was a great success! Both when we were hanging around the house (with the beautiful view) and when we made quick day trips to Dungeness Spit, Lake Crescent Lodge and the Elwha Dam area, we had a great time. My husband and I, our two adult sons, their wives and children simply enjoyed each other's company. So nice to get away from all the to-do lists at home, play board games, watch the two grandchildren get and give their first hug to each other. Priceless. The large deck was the perfect place to hang out when grandchildren were napping or parents were sleeping in. This is a great place for your upper Olympic Peninsula getaway.

It was such a tranquil place. Jessica was so proactive and provided us all the information we needed for the trip. My family had a great experience. Will definitely come back!

Claire's house was so wonderful. It was the last stay for our trip and it was a great place to end on. We felt right at home when we got there, and felt the same way our whole time staying.

What a beautiful cabin and location! My kids loved watching the koi in the pond and we all loved being close to the lake. Beautiful views and super comfortable! Definitely would recommend.

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.
