Perfect Getaway

We stayed to attend a family reunion nearby and had the best time, the home has kayaks, a fully stocked kitchen, amazing views of the water and the quiet pier has a marketplace with any little things you may have forgotten (and of course ice cream for the kids). We highly recommend staying here!

Absolutely Wonderful!

The Beach Barn was very clean, extremely comfortable, and way above our expectations. We grew up visiting Grapeview (our grandparents had a piece of property with a couple of cabins on the water), so we were thrilled when our cousin chose Grapeview as the destination for her wedding. Everything you could possibly need is available in the kitchen, the bedding is top of the line and super comfortable, there is a washer and dryer, and three kayaks you can launch right in front of the Beach Barn. It was fabulous and we would love to stay again!

Winter wonderland

We stayed here for 3 nights and it snowed the entire time! It was so relaxing to chill out next to the fire and watch the snow fall. The place was clean and well equipped with everything we needed to hide away for a few night. We already have plans to bring our nephews when covid conditions improve.

It was a very appreciated peaceful respite for our group. There are not a lot of dining or grocery options locally. But the kitchen is very well equipped for cooking with quality pans and easy to cook in, and there is a grill. The house is both comfortable and luxurious, and very well cared for. We wanted for nothing. Would highly recommend and hope to return.

Perfect getaway home!

Home is beautifully decorated with every amenity you’d need. We loved the private beach with clams & oysters. It is so quiet and peaceful. Don’t let the launch ramp concern you - there is very little noise and very friendly people. It is a bit of a jaunt to get in to Seattle but the ferry ride out of Bremerton is easy to maneuver and gorgeous scenery. Going in the fall was cool but so very quiet. We loved it.

Family visit

Wow!! I can honestly say this was probably the nicest VRBO we’ve stayed in. The owners go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. The decor is also very nice and flows wonderfully through the house. We enjoyed the mornings drinking coffee and sitting on the patio with the outdoor heater on and a blanket watching the marina. Seals swim by and eagles fly over. We have family near by so we will definitely stay here again!!!

Great Family Retreat over NYE Weekend

This property is special, with a well-stocked kitchen, gas fireplace and wonderful amenities. The weather was dry on NYE so we were able to have a campfire and s'mores with the kids after sunset overlooking the water. The covered deck with heat lamp made for some cozy outdoor chats. And the beds were super comfortable. We were able to enjoy some jigsaw puzzles plus watch the Sugar Bowl game from the comfort of the living room. Thank you, Diane and Mark! We'll be back.

Love and laughter

The beach barn holds special memories for our family, this is our second stay and we will definitely be back. The location is amazing, being right on the Puget and beside the marina allows visitors to enjoy the locals. We meet some lovely people on our stay, including a lovely man who gifted us a bottle of red wine from his vineyard Mosquito Fleet winery. More memories were made with our American family. The beach barn is well thought out and very relaxing it has everything you need to make your stay perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Carter

Host profile image
Mark and Diane are Seattle natives and high school sweethearts who love sharing their vacation homes with guests. The Beach Barn was purchased in Aug 2017 and lovingly remodeled with comfort and relaxation in mind. We started in the vacation rental business in 2008 with a property on Puget Sound in Shelton, WA (VRBO#150033) that is now run by Diane's sister. Next we purchased a condo in Anaheim, CA (VRBO#329422) across the street from Disneyland that has been a successful vacation rental since 2010. Our most recent rental is near Palm Springs CA in Indian Wells (VRBO 9496387ha). In 2015 we purchased a fixer upper in Renton, WA which we remodeled and is our cozy primary residence near family. Real estate is our passion and we can't wait to have you as our guest.

Why they chose this property

We have been searching for years for the perfect Puget Sound getaway and fell in love with the location and setting of this home. Allyn, WA is a quaint beach side town 5 minutes away from our place. The property is low bank salt waterfront, bulkhead with 7 stairs, so access to the water and the beach filled with clams and oysters is a breeze. Adjacent to the property is the Port of Grapeview boat launch and the Fair Harbor Marina. The water in front of our home is somewhat protected as it faces east toward Treasure Island, a small island in Case Inlet. It's about a 1-hour paddle around Treasure Island. The waters in front of our property are a "no wake" zone so any motorboats or jet ski's will be travelling slowly and quietly which is such a nice bonus.
The home was built in 1964 and was nicely maintained but with original decor. The layout was great, so we just updated everything and embraced the gambrel roof (barn shaped roof), added some barn like features and The Beach Barn was born!

What makes this property unique

The home features 2 huge decks, 1 is covered, and a fairly flat grass lawn all facing the water. We love outdoor living so this home felt like the perfect fit for us. The home is removed from major highways so very limited traffic noise. The adjacent boat launch is an added bonus in our opinion. We have met so many nice people and it can be very entertaining to watch.
