This place looked incredible from the photos, but they fall short to how gorgeous this place is. The property is huge and pretty private, protected by a GIANT tree that perfectly shades the deck and house without blocking the view of the water! We had a little doe, some geese and goslings visit the yard almost every day and a couple seals and heron that frequented the water. The paddle boards and kayaks were perfect and it was super easy to cruise around the bay. It was hard for us to leave, was incredibly peaceful and fun! The ferry is pretty easy as well (though you only need tickets to get to the island, not to leave it) and was honestly kinda a nice pace, we saw dolphins and orcas during our ferry trips! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8a458817-2f09-4daf-9964-f408e11f505a-1751928456954.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1e8cc93d-010a-4ebf-affa-afb46ea0bf1e-1751928459425.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nick Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vesta F.

We have stayed at many homes in the Puget Sound and this one by far is our new favorite! The grounds are large and comfortable offering everything a family could want - beach front, grass to play in, gardens and orchards to explore, playground, pickleball and so much more. Our family LOVES to cook and eat meals outside. The kitchen is large with multiple cooking tops, dishwashers, and large counter space. The deck was our favorite place to be! Sometimes the summer heat at other homes on the sound makes it hard to be outside in the afternoon, but the wonderful tree that grows next to the deck here offers amazing shade on the home and deck for every meal and an afternoon nap! ##### Lauren D.

The inside with the considerably large kitchen, sunken living room with super soft carpet and cozy furniture was wonderful enough but then you open the class doors out to the shady deck and beautiful view of the water, enormous grass lawn and large swings for ridiculous relaxation! We knew we would be coming back to stay here again next year! In addition to the above mentioned there is a garden with fresh veggies to cook with in the beautiful kitchen and a indoor game room and outside of that a pickleball court which we loved, we had never played before but now are hooked. Deer in the yard, Bald Eagles, and adorable seals playing in the water complete a trip we will always remember. ##### David A. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce P.

Watching the tide roll in and back out had an almost hypnotic effect on our little group. A profoundly curative influence that we will remember for a long, long time. Merlene and Loren have created an oasis that they should be very proud of. The sunsets were a delight. The house is a comfortable living space nestled beneath a huge shady tree. The amenities are top drawer. The kitchen is so well appointed that all of our expectations were surpassed. But the absolute shining feature of this lovely getaway is the peace and quiet. Good for whatever ails you! Thank You, Bruce, Laura & Rory ##### Bruce P. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer L. Aug 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely family getaway We had a lovely stay. Traveling with a toddler, I appreciated that the playground is gated. Our kids had a great time on the playground (better than pictures!), swings all around the property and entertainment options available (foosball, water crafts, volleyballs, so much more!). The house was clean-- so much so that I didn't even feel the need to sanitize upon arrival as I often do in rentals. Our host was very gracious to come and deliver extra dish washer detergent pods. The kitchen is large, with great pots and pans to use (a rarity with rentals!). Two dishwashers is a cook's dream! The soft ice machine was my personal fav in the kitchen. Bring some flavored syrups and make snow cones! A few items to note for planning purposes-- you definitely want to bring all food items with you to the island. Waiting for the ferry can definitely add a decent amount of travel time, but there is ice cream and playgrounds at Steilacoom! The living room at the rental is sunken with a few steps. Overall, the views were amazing, access to water great. The property has plenty of activities onsite-- no need to leave unless you want to go explore other parts of the island. A lovely property and home and we will for sure return. Thank you so much! ##### Jennifer L. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve S.

We love the calm and serene setting on Amsterdam Bay! There are so many activities to do on the property, that you really don't even need to leave. Some of our favorite activities include: looking for crabs on the shore, finding wildlife in the Puget Sound, using the rope swing up the hill, and picking blackberries. It is a great place if you have children, or if you just want some peace and quiet. We are already planning our trip again for next summer. ##### Steve S.
