I have never stayed at a property with so many thoughtful amenities, from cold drinks to every utensil you could imagine to lotions and soaps, outlets galore to charge devices and of course the incredible view.

Exceptional Pacific Northwest Getaway Suite The property is located in a safe, well-established neighborhood with stunning panoramic views of Commencement Bay. During our stay, we relaxed on the back patio with a glass of wine, enjoying the boat traffic on the bay. The suite was perfect for our needs, featuring a full kitchen, a comfortable queen bed, and the convenience of a washer and dryer.The pre-arrival instructions were clear, concise, and easy to follow. Belinda and Todd are outstanding hosts—very attentive to our questions and generous with helpful information about the area, including recommendations for restaurants and local activities.We’re from Arizona and will definitely stay here again during our hot summer season. Highly recommended!

Great Find
This was the perfect place for us. Centrally located between Olympia and Seattle…where all of our plans were. Property is in bottom of host’s home. Private entrance in walk in basement apartment. The apartment is fully outfitted. The bed super comfortable. And an electric fireplace to make it cozy. The view was spectacular and we lucked out with some beautiful sunny days. Highly recommend.

Simply Perfect
We had a lovely stay-cation at Serene Sunsets! I could not think of a most fitting name. Everything is absolutely perfect. I could not think of a single thing to change. The sunsets are magical, parking instructions clear, the kitchen, and bathroom had everything we needed. The backyard was great to play games of duck, duck goose and catch. Our hosts were accommodating, quick to respond and very kind. Thank you again for having us.

Would stay here again!!
We love this place, it was clean, had everything we needed. I wish we had more time just to sit on the swing and admire the view. Checkin was a breeze and the owner was quick with communication. Would very much stay here again. Love the open floorplan and blackout drapes around the queen bed.
The apartment was perfect! It was very clean and comfortable. Having a washer/dryer was great. The setting was absolutely gorgeous! The host, Belinda, was very accommodating in letting us check in a little early and communication was easy and responses were quick. Would definitely recommend a stay there.

Commencement Bay Gem
My wife and I recently stayed for four nights. Although its a basement unit, the views are expansive and the accommodations are fantastic. Loved watching the sunset over the Olympic Peninsula and the location is much more peaceful than anything we have stayed at in the area. We will gladly revisit when back.
