About this property

Waterviews, Gameroom, close to DT, & Ferries!

Beautiful waterfront rambler with panoramic views, a game room and space for the whole family! Come enjoy this waterfront home in a central location for venturing to Seattle, Hood Canal, and anywhere on the Kitsap Peninsula. Just minutes to downtown Port Orchard, 15 minutes to the Seattle ferry, and 30 minutes to Poulsbo, Bremerton, Gig Harbor, and Tacoma. Come for the location, but stay for the beautiful views and amenities!

Relax year-round and wake up to an amazing view of the Puget Sound, all while in the comforts of home with panoramic views! Enjoy listening to the sounds of harbor seals bark in the distance as they search for their morning meal. Let time slip away while admiring Bald eagles perched on the dock, devouring their catch with a seated view from the living room. Take a quick drive into downtown to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee from the various coffee shops or grab a bite for breakfast and enjoy a drive along the water. The house is located just about a mile from downtown Port Orchard where you will find public beach access, a boat launch, dock, waterfront playground, and an assortment of local restaurants and shops! During the Spring & Summer there is a local kayak rental, regular farmer's markets, and great holiday parades and events!

As you approach this home in the beautiful Port Orchard community, you will be greeted by non stop water views of the Sinclair Inlet, marinas, and the Seattle ferries. Once arriving at the house, a gorgeous covered front porch with built in seating overlooking the water will welcome you to begin relaxing! Enter the house and be mesmerized by the expansive windows covering the entire front wall with panoramic views of the water. Comfy seating, a large smart TV, and game table will give you plenty of amenities to entertain the family. A fully remodeled and stocked kitchen awaits on the other side of the living room for you culinary expertise! The kitchen should have all you need for cooking - you just bring the food! A dining room sits off the kitchen, leading to the back porch. Enjoy your time on the back porch BBQing, eating your meals on the large patio table, playing cornhole and ping pong, then end the night with a campfire while you watch the always changing water views!

This single level home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for your comfort. Bedroom 1 faces the water and holds a King bed and a twin over twin bunkbed. Bedroom 2 has a queen bed and also overlooks the water! Bedrooms one and two share a full bathroom with a shower and a bathtub, that is located just across the hallway.

Beautiful place!

The house, view, and location was amazing! The house had a wonderful feel and was so welcoming that you did not want to leave. There were 4 of us and we enjoyed the views, the yard, and the layout of the house. We would stay here again in a minute!

Amazing view

The house has a big picture window with a view of the bay. Loved waking up and having my coffee, and enjoying the water view with it. Even though the house has tvs, the big picture window was my tv for the week! We loved the house. Communication with the host was also quick and easy.

Sweet Getaway

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The home was perfect and had everything we needed. We were able to sit, relax, eat together, play in the game room, and enjoy the views. The location and proximity to the ferry and Gig Harbor was great too. The only thing to be aware of is that the street is pretty busy with cars driving pretty fast. However, the host-provided ear plugs were so thoughtful! We truly enjoyed our time and will definitely come back.

This is a very nice home. Thought was given to everything. Extra paper towels, laundry detergent, good outdoor lighting and even toothbrushes should you have forgotten yours.

Stunnning ❤️

The property description and pictures are beautiful but in person, the property is even better! This place has everything…. For my group, the expansive windows and views were relaxing and breathtaking. My father has mobility issues, and this property was very accommodating for him. The beds were extremely comfortable. We cooked an amazing Thanksgiving dinner and the kitchen had everything! My 12 yo nephew, my brother and I, all had so much fun playing ping pong and getting away from the adults 😉 Don’t hesitate, if this place is available, book it!

Felt like staying at a friends home

Wonderfully located and appointed home! The kitchen and bathrooms are very well appointed, washer and dryer are huge, everything inside is new, clean and comfortable. The view cannot be beat and the game room was great! Wish we’d have had more time for more games and a fire…maybe next time, because we would definitely rent this home again! Communication with Melissa was easy and honestly, she was so considerate! I was traveling with my mobility challenged mother and Melissa was so kind to find some extra accommodations for us to make the stay easier. We would absolutely recommend this home for a lovely stay!

Very nice experience we enjoyed Our time I-love the location I only think that the showing Of the pier in the picture was kind of misleading because I was counting going There and drinking my coffee in the morning and the other thing was it should say no access to the beach other than that we enjoyed it very much. the experience with the representative was awesome. communication was great I like the check-in and checkout system all in all it was very very good experience look forward to To next time Again thank you and have a great day

2nd Property We Have Stayed

This is the 2nd property of Melissa’s we have stayed. I will actively search for one of her properties each time we stay. Melissa thinks of every detail, and the house was very comfortable. The location was amazing. Close to the ferry to Bremerton. And the view is spectacular. Perfect for sunsets. Thank you for your hospitality!
