About this house rental
Experience a fantastic coastal retreat at our two-bedroom seaside villa in Olympia. Nestled hillside above the sand, this charming property offers breathtaking Sound views and a wealth of amenities to make your stay truly unforgettable.
As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a fully equipped kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, grill, and all the necessary appliances and utensils to whip up delicious meals. Unwind in the cozy living room, where you can curl up by the fireplace (seasonal) or enjoy a movie on the smart TV with cable channels.
Indulge in the property's many traveler favorites, such as free WiFi, and the convenience of a washing machine and dryer. Step outside to the balcony and soak up the sun...or shelter comfortably in place during inclement weather...still with magnificent water views
.. Explore the nearby Hands On Children's Museum, Olympia Farmers Market, state capitol grounds, Tumwater Falls/Brewery Park, Squaxin Park with trails to the beach and old growth forest, all within a very short drive.
With its prime beachfront location, thoughtful amenities, and array of nearby attractions, our vacation home is the perfect setting for your Olympia getaway. Experience the ultimate in coastal living and create lasting memories with family and friends.
Each bedroom is adjacent to a bathroom, one full bath and one half bath, with an additional half bath is the laundry/utility room . Bed linens are triple sheeted with comforter.
The beach is below your hilltop home ... down 120 steep stairs. To some the climb is a modest endeavor ... to others a more monumental task. But the effort is worth it to be able enjoy a one of a kind private sandy beach on Puget Sound. Beach games, kayaks and SUP are all available free of charge following a safety briefing.

A special spot with great history and ambiance. We stayed here to have our own space during nearby family holiday events. Hope to return during warmer weather to explore and enjoy a bit more!

We had a wonderful stay in Olympia. The property was located on an Inlet with water views from the house, and beach access from the stairs. Downtown Olympia is a quick 15 to 20 minute drive to access great restaurants and city perks. We were very satisfied.

My partner & I were in Olympia visiting family and chose this house as it appeared we could see a lot of the Sound - see below.Craig is a very knowledgeable host, friendly, and quick to respond to messages. He left some info about the area, and that's how we learned about a small, easy hike at Tumwater Falls.This is a full-time residence, but Craig stays in a cabin on the beach during stays. He gave us a tour day 1 but left day 2 so we did not interact with him as others have stated.This is a secluded spot - lots of houses in the neighborhood, but it's quiet. Lots of wildlife, great for bird watching! If you need/want to do anything in Olympia, expect a 15 minute drive. ACCESSIBILITY: There is a no-step entrance to the front door. However, we were asked to enter/exit the property using a keypad on the door to the garage, and there is a step to get inside the house from there. 1 guest bedroom and the only full bath are on the main level. The shower/tub is very tall and not easy to get in to if you have mobility issues. The back deck is accessible, but there are stairs to get down to the beautiful backyard. There is not a flat path out back, and there are a LOT of steep stairs (with railing) to get to the beach! You can see the water between the trees in the backyard, but if you're in a wheelchair or have limited mobility and your main goal is to be as close as possible to the water, there will be some disappointment. (The pic is what you see from the backyard.)
6 / 10Average·May 2021
Pros: The property was lovely with beautiful artwork and very nice appliances. The view was good and the landscaping is really pretty.
Cons: One of the comforters had something questionable on the underside. Major issue was that this is a main residence and the property owner stays in a cabin on the beach (which is far below the house). We felt spied upon and like our privacy was invaded (for example, a bag was moved while we were away once). My niece was frightened when the owner appeared in the backyard at one point. I do think the owner was nice and he kindly grilled dinner for us one night and he also took my sister and me on a guided kayak tour (during which we had a simply amazing interaction with a curious seal). But the overall feeling was uncomfortable and it had an impact on our enjoyment of our vacation.
