Beautiful property
We had a group stay and we enjoyed the ability to spread out among the 3 homes. Still gathering in the main house for meals and games. The weather was beautifully Washington cold and rainy. Didn’t take advantage of the kayak or Spa, lovely stay none the less.

Perfect Wedding Location
The estate had everything we could possibly want and more to host our intimate wedding!! Kitchen was more stocked than any kitchen I’ve ever used, grounds were gorgeous for our ceremony, and Katherine was a wonderful host who worked with me so well when we had a last minute change of plans. Highly highly recommend!!

Ladies retreat
This property is stunning and well equipped. Everyone enjoyed the sports court and spa and of course time In nature. We saw crabs and seals and bald eagles and numerous birds. Rented this space for a ladies retreat and it was superb. Would love to rent this space again.

Great weekend stay
Our group of friends and families had a wonderful stay for the weekend on the water. Nice big kitchen for cooking big meals. Fun and relaxing time around the fire pit and in the hot tub. The rain held off long enough to get in some pickleball, frisbee, and beach time. Overall, a great stay and we hope to be back!

The most amazing stay!
We absolutely loved this property!!! It’s stunning. To wake up on the after and have so much space with the three houses made it that much more relaxing. We had the best time and the owner was so amazing to work with. We so so hope one day we will be back here. Thank you so much for sharing your space with others.

Absolutely the best place for adventures, relaxing, gathering, and enjoying our friends and family with the best views, beauty, and comfort of the PNW. We loved the 3 homes and its property.

We had a fantastic family reunion at this property. All three homes were fully stocked with all the essentials and more! The property itself is beautiful with a pickle ball court, a wonderful covered patio, and, of course, the beautiful beach. Thank you for providing us with a great place for all of our family. We have re-upped for next year!

Wisteria Hollow Bridal shower
It was a wonderful celebration at the estate. I appreciated the ability to come in advance to plan decorations that respected the beauty of the home. Entry directions were clear. It was clean and ready. The managing people we met were friendly and helpful. Thank you for working with us to get the timing right and thank you for helping us bless our daughter with a bridal celebration in a place that is special to her from childhood.

Loved the size, location , and easy beach access. A few changes I would suggested: Drapes or shades in master bedroom and some kind of privacy tint on the glass shower. The yellow kayaks were leaking and improperly repaired. We did carry them to the waterline carefully, but damaged already had been done and was pretty extensive. I think the bedroom that is open to the stairwell should be closed off. I was originally going to put our daughter and her husband and 1-yr old in there, but it was too dangerous for a child.

Gorgeous Property and Surrounding Area
I don't think you fully appreciate the beauty of this property until you are physically there. We rented all 3 of the properties for a small family gathering for my daughter's wedding; we had a total of 14 people including 2 small children. Everyone enjoyed the stay. The property provided a gorgeous backdrop for the wedding. While the Victorian house is the centerpiece and very beautiful, spacious and provides the best views, the cottage and apartment are nice as well. The owners and property managers are so responsive and really want to make sure you enjoy your stay. We also loved the kayaks, pickle ball courts, and the grounds in general.

We had trouble with the hot tub getting cold, but Ron and Cindy were very responsive and got it repaired as well as repairing the washer. I appreciated their quick response!

This place is so lovely, picturesque. It has many great amenities. We came back for a second time with the whole extended family to celebrate my mom's birthday. The kayaks that are touted as part of the joys of staying here, however, nearly turned into a tragic event. We were told in the house guide to be careful not to damage the kayaks on the rocks so we used the provided wheeled carrier to take them to the shore. However, we were not warned that the kayaks had been repaired many times. We learned this after our daughter and son-in-law nearly drowned in Puget Sound when their boat sprang a leak and sank and left them in the middle of a crossing to the state park nearby. After 15 minutes in the freezing water, by the grace of God, a passing boater saw them and rescued them. The sister of the owner and her husband came the next day to check the boats and told us this was our own fault for not checking the boats as they have been repaired for holes many times (by him, not professionally). This place is so beautiful, yet because we came so close to tragedy due to lack of full disclosure by the owners, I cannot recommend this place to others.

Beautiful but dirty
This used to be a once beautiful estate. We recleaned when we arrived bathrooms and floors. Lights were out or non working in numerous rooms. The straw that broke us when 5 children broke out in rashes. After taking them to a Doctor we found out it was a fungus from the hot tub. Wish I could recommend but I can’t. No response from the owner!!! 😔😐

Retreat Getaway
This was the perfect place for this year's Women's Retreat. We used all three houses. It was spacious, gorgeous, had tons of things for everyone to do during our free time. There are a few things I did not mention in my exit paperwork. We had to borrow kitchen towels and wash cloths from the other houses as there weren't any in the main house which is where all the cooking and serving was done. The spa worked great but some of the dials/switches did nothing when we tried them. The hide-a-bed mattress in the Cottage by the Sea really needs to be replaced. It was torn around the seams and extremely uncomfortable. The kitchen in the main house, although pretty well stocked, probably could use updated cookware and a can opener that works. The cookware in there was very worn, but did the trick. The instructions left for operation of the TV/DVD never worked for us, not sure if it was our interpretation or not. We loved seeing the history of the house on the wall of pictures. Sitting out on the deck watching the sea lions in the morning was very tranquil. There were 17 women and 2 men cooking for us and I don't believe at anytime we felt that crowded or cramped. We will certainly consider these homes for futures retreats. Thank you so much.

Stay
I enjoyed our stay overall and they were quick to respond to needs. There were however rats in the cottage and the oven in the main kitchen was not working. It was a beautiful place but the rats definitely killed some of the quality for me. And the water in the main house and cottage was undeniable. It was bright yellow and had an awful smell.

We had a good time at the Great Estate Homes. There was plenty of room for my extended Family of 16 from out of town. All three houses was clean and decorated nicely. The kitchen at the main house is great , we were able to cook our thanksgiving meal perfectly. The scenery and location is beautiful. We loved this place and it was very affordable . Thank you so much for allowing us to use your houses. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend and will stay here again.

Great Estate!
We had an amazing stay at this property. There was 12 of us for a family reunion/getaway. It housed our 3 families and we each had our own separate units. It rained most days but the large main home with the hot tub had plenty of room for crafts games and hot tubing to keep the 6 kids entertained. Also the main house has an amazing chef kitchen complete with a grill, oven , steamer, 6 burner stove and even a deep fryer. Allowed us to make a feast for dinners. One of the best Vacation rentals I have stayed jn.

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn

Host profile image
I love travel. I love the Pacific Northwest. I have a large family and I love to spend time with them. We love using VRBO homes as we travel and this home fit all our needs.

Why they chose this property

This is such a unique, historic property and we fell in love with it on sight. With its location close to Seattle, right on the water of Puget Sound, and in a peaceful quiet neighborhood, it is the perfect place to spend time together.

What makes this property unique

Two hundred feet of private beach, over 2 acres of lawns and garden, and 3 beautiful homes that sleep up to 22 people! We love this home!
