Wonderful stay!
We loved our stay in this house! We enjoyed walking to the Boatshed for lunch and Larry and Kristi’s for donuts for breakfast! We loved relaxing on the deck one lovely afternoon and then one rainy night we logged into our account and binged Deadpool! We’d love to come back!

Cute Place - Could Be Cleaner
This was a cute place in a great location. There were lots of ants inside and the shower didn’t seem to be deep cleaned. There was hair on the wall and the shelf’s have hair and product build up.

Perfect!
My husband and I loved the cottage! Bremerton is a charming little town, everything within walking distance including the ferry’s into Seattle(which I highly recommend vs driving) . We even got a visit from a Harbor Seal, lots of birds and Mountain View. House was super clean and well stocked. Would love to come back!

Cute Beach Cottage
Adorable clean, quiet cottage on the water. Harbor seals and river otters did a little "people watching" as we sat on the deck with a glass of wine at sunset. Great location, easy walk to village of Manette restaurants and bakery. Strolled over the bridge to ferries to Seattle and walk-on ferry to Port Orchard farmers' market. We'll definitely be back!

Great place even in bad weather!
My husband and I stayed for a few days here hoping to spend our time golfing. The weather unfortunately was not on our side. We were able to sit on the deck the first night and enjoyed to waves and sound of the bay. This place was perfect! The weather being cold, rainy and windy, was still a sight to see from the couches and warm electric fireplace and blankets! So cozy, cute and definately comfortable! We walked up to the Boat shed for dinner a couple of times, which was amazing! It would have been much better in warm weather, and we will definately try to make that happen again! We didn't want for anything while at this adorable and comfy place! It met all of our expectations and then some, despite the weather conditions! Highly recommend!

Dead lawn
This old hut, converted into a "cabin", is merely OK as a building. The lawn, right up against the beautiful Puget Sound, is dead and dry, full of bugs and unpleasant. It should be green and cared for, a place to lounge in the sun and enjoy the view. The deck is nice, but too hot on a sunny afternoon... when you want to be in the cool grass. Quite a lot of money for a hot hut on the rocks.

Beautiful place, cheap flimsy furniture. The paddleboards and kayaks listed don't exist.
The property manager does not promptly address your problem. He knew there were no kayaks or paddleboards but left them on the listing. Very disappointed about that. That is one of the reasons we chose this property.

Bremerton cottage
The location was nice and convenient for what we needed, and our kids really enjoyed the small beach along the back of the property. I contacted the property manager to see if we could check in early because we were already in town, they said fine and we ended up having a delay from our original plans and didn’t actually get to the property much later than anticipated. We had to ask for the access code to the property, nothing was provided. Also, We had trouble logging into the wifi according to the pamphlet thing on the fridge. I texted the property manager about this, he said it was the exact same as on the pamphlet. Still wasn’t working and I showed him this and no response so we called him. He didn’t pick up at first, then when he did was very rude. The wifi provided on the pamphlet was not correct, he ended up claiming it was a typo but the one on the pamphlet was the one he texted to me before we had to call… Very strange. He also complained that we didn’t get there the time we asked for, 1 pm and why were we calling so late. Really unprofessional exchange, for that reason I’m not sure I’d recommend this property to anyone unless they don’t care about hospitality or accessing information that should be correct and readily available anyway. The cottage itself was clean but basic.

Navy
My son is stationed there in the navy and he was able to take leave and stay at the house with us, we had a great stay and would definitely stay again! So nice to sit out on the deck by the water watching the tide come in or go out and the ferries and sea lions and blue herons and so on… only thing that was wrong was the coffee pot was not emptied and washed other than that everything was nice and clean and we were able to check in an hour early which was nice and we were thankful for the owner letting us do so!

An Enjoyable Vacation
I was there to spend time with family. Manette Beach House was perfect for cooking, socializing, bird watching, and coffee drinking. The neighborhood was very quiet. The walking was splendid even in January. A couple of bakeries were found. A few restaurants are in the area as well. Lots of coffee.

Charming Beach Cottage
This is the cutest little beach house located directly on the Sound; we could look across the water and watch the ferries coming and going. We were able to step out the sliding glass door and sun bathe on the spacious deck, swim in the Sound, and regretted not bringing our paddle board as this would’ve been the perfect location for paddle boarding. The cottage is very very clean and well appointed. The couches and the bed are very comfortable. But the highlight for me was the excellent service we received from the evolve team and the owner Kyle. I had accidentally locked us out of the cottage and called both the Evolve team and Kyle. Within 15 minutes a locksmith arrived to let us in. During our stay we had car problems, so I requested a late check out. Kyle graciously and immediately granted my request. The professionalism, the courtesy, and the swift response by both the evolve team and Kyle our very very impressive. If You are looking for a getaway in Bremerton I highly recommend this property.

Very beautiful view.
It was a lovely view of the water. We loved sitting on the deck at night and watching the boat and ferry go by. Wish we would have remembered paddle boards or something to go out on because the beach wasn’t very nice to go on or swim. But overall we loved it!
