Another Wonderful Stay at Lakebay!
We adore this house and location. Best stocked house. Lovely furnishings. Barbara is always so gracious and prompt with any questions we have. We like it so much here that we want to retire at Lakebay. So quiet. Never saw or heard any neighbors as they are a good distance away (not right next door like many waterfront properties!). Love the deck for viewing and relaxing and the grassy area is perfect as you look out on the water. Kayaking was fun as was beachcombing at low tide. Seattle is an hour plus away. GO MARINERS! Thanks for another great stay. Perfection.

All the former reviews just begin to do this place justice—over the top excellent family place, kitchen, comfy beds, water sports! Just terrific. Spent a week with 4 grandchildren, ages 11-13. They swam and kayaked (first timers) most of the day. And slept well at night! So many happy memories! Thank you!

It's really as good as all the reviews say it is!
If you're looking for a relaxing place that has both woods and water, this is it! We spent a week just hanging out and enjoying being out of the big city and in an environment where deer roam across the yard, a baby bunny makes a daily appearance to dine on the lawn, and otter have lunch right off the shore. We rent houses for a few get-aways each year and this one has had the best kitchen by far. Actually, the whole house was perfect for our needs and wants. The house can easily accommodate large families, but it was just two of us (and our dog) on this trip and it was the ideal size for that, too. We've already booked again for next year - I can't give it a better recommendation than that!

Amazing property with every amenity
this home was just lovely—-it was clean, beautifully decorated and landscaped, fully stocked and just plain relaxing. The chairs on the deck and the secret seating nooks were charming. It was wonderful to sit and drink morning coffee while looking out on the water. Thank you for sharing your lovely home-i don’t think I’ve stayed at nicer VRBO

Perfect Beach Getaway!
We rented this home for a week for my in-laws when they were visiting from out of state for our wedding. They absolutely loved the place, all the views, the spaces to relax, the kayaks, and especially the beachfront property that's perfect for beachcombing! Gorgeous home, clean and spacious, beautiful views, lots of extras provided by host (games, beach towels, life vests, toiletries, etc). Perfect stay!!!

Great stay!
Our family had a great stay. The house is perfectly set up for comfort and entertaining. Being right on the water is so relaxing. We ate outside every day as the weather was perfect. Long walks on beach when tide out. Saw seals, bald eagle, lots of birds, and a big deer. Comfy beds and nice linens. We hope to be back soon!

Wonderful place for family gathering!
We had a wonderful weekend at the house in Lakebay. We did a beach campfire, used one of the kayaks, and enjoyed the beautiful view while cozy next to the fireplace during spring storms with our extended family. All the little touches, like dog beds, puzzles and board games, were really appreciated. Felt like a million miles away but only 1.5 hrs drive from Seattle. Hope to come back again.

Quite peninsula, beautiful house
A beautiful house on a quite peninsula. Very well mailntained and stocked and it even had a nice little office for remote working (which both myself and my wife took advantage of). The yard and view of the little bay was perfect for relaxing and drinking a coffee on each morning. Beach access is great. Easy to get to the nearby grocery store for your needs, and not too far from Gig Harbor if you needs more stuff. The host was great and quick to respond when I had a question for her. Good times were had.

PERFECT LONG WEEKEND GETAWAY
Perfect place to unplug and unwind for the long weekend. It had everything the kiddos wanted: sandy beach, a fire pit, kayaks, board games, and a fireplace. Amazing views. House was well-stocked. It was nice having a grocery store nearby. We picked up firestarter and wood for the firepit. Beds and pillows are nice and comfy. Wall are thin so you can hear everything going on in the dining room/living room. Not great for those who are light sleepers. Barbara's a great host. Would love to come back again during the warmer months to fully enjoy the outdoors.

Me and my extended family enjoyed our Christmas holiday at the house. It is a beautiful location and well suited to a group. Our only issue was with the weather and the steep driveway but that of course was out of the control of the host of course! We’d love to come back during warmer weather to enjoy the waterfront more.

Multi-generation family trip
Stayed at this property to have a pre-holiday visit with Mother-in Law, and our family of five plus our bulldog. Loved the house and the location. Prior to our stay the owner had added a small decorative Christmas tree with lights. We spent each night with the fireplace going and Christmas lights on playing games and doing puzzles-perfect for a Pacific Northwest Winter's stay. Can't wait to go back and use the kayaks this summer. Had an issue with hot water and owner responded within minutes.
