Canal Home
The master closet is nice and big to fit a pack and play in there, they had lots of comfy blankets and pillows which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the beds were not our taste, they were very firm and uncomfortable (bring a mattress topper if you can). The view is beautiful and we enjoyed roasting s'mores by the fire, only a quick drive to the jetty for the sunset! This was really nice for us because we have a bigger family and I do believe its more bang for your buck. I would bring your own cutting board because the one there is plastic and pretty worn. Do not leave any food out! Big raccons roam around at night, we had a big one out on the front porch and he was enjoying our chocolate and hamburger buns. Overrall we had a great stay with a few very minor things that could be easily improved.

Clean and cozy home
Nice place and very cleaned. The price for the night is reasonable but the extra fees are exaggerated , we paid more than half of the total for the 3 nights in extra service fee. The check out is also very early but I asked for an extra hour and the host in charged allowed us to do that. Thank you again for that.

Beautiful Home
My boyfriend, a couple friends and I stayed here for 4 days. The home exceeded our expectations and was much better accommodated than the one we stayed in last year. They have all supplies you could need for a short or even a long stay which was a pleasant surprise. The dock would have been more enjoyed if the weather had been more agreeable but what else could we expect in March lol. May be staying next year!

Perfect place and location
I cannot say enough about this house! It was perfect for our family and I loved that it is dog-friendly. The canal and dock were hits for our 5 year old who loves fishing. The house had everything we needed, so clean and cozy. We will definitely be back!

Looking for a relaxing weekend
The property was as listed and I would recommend to anyone looking for a get a way. The fire pit was awesome, each night S’mores of a different flavor rocked the desert menu. Everything worked perfectly and it was just what we hoped it would be… Thank you to our host and the team for making this a wonderful experience.

Great stay
We had a great time at this home. It was clean, quiet and well appointed. We didn’t know before this stay about the wonderful canals in Ocean Shores. This home doesn’t have direct canal access but does have a great view. It’s a short drive to town and beach access points. We loved traveling with our dogs and really appreciated this property being so dog friendly. A couple suggestions would be to have dressers in the bedrooms and increase bed size from queen/full to king/queen in the bedrooms.

This place was great. Super clean and they had labels for everything that was provided. Anything you can think of that you would need was there. And it was so peaceful by the canal. The fire pit was so cute, we would’ve used it if it wasn’t raining. The location was perfect, just close enough to town but far away enough to stay peaceful. We would definitely stay there again. We wish we could’ve stayed longer!
