A year round experience. The space General description of your property's rooms and spaces so guests know what to expect. We are situated on 12 acres of land separated on two parcels that are connected by one driveway. There are 5 units on the lower property and 1 on the upper. The driveway is signed with the unit directional arrows and the buildings are also signed with the units name on or near the door. The hot tub, outside bathroom is shared by the guests. It is a large property that has farm animals. The property has an estate gate with a code that you will receive in an email the day before you arrive. This is half of a huge oceanfront beach house. It is attached to the other half of the house “The Lodge”. The house is separated by a corridor and locked doors from both sides. Guest access Keys/Unit locations Keys/Unit locations Your key will be located in your door lock box so you can arrive whenever you like. Please ensure that you are entering the correct unit that you booked. You will receive an email the day before your arrival with the gate code and possibly a door lock box code. The properties consist of an upper property and lower property with connecting driveways abutting the sound. As you arrive it is well signed on the driveway with directional arrows pointing which way to drive to arrive at the different units. The buildings are also well signed with directional arrows to help locate your unit. Each unit has its name on it or closely located near the main entrance door to that unit. The upper property has one vacation rental on it. The lower property has 4-5 vacation rentals on it depending if the owners are on site or renting out the unit they stay in. If confused just walk around the different buildings until you see the name of the unit you booked on the door. It sounds more complicated than it actually is. Parking/Navigating larger vehicles and trailers When you arrive we request that you park on the right in the large parking area. We requests that you do not park on the paved area with the no parking sign by the garages. It is set up for charging electric vehicles and is used regularly. There is plenty of additional parking on the upper property or along the side of the driveway. If you have a large party of people and lots of vehicles during peak season it would be kind to park in a way and in areas that help everyone navigate coming and going. If you have a trailer or boat during a period as before mentioned please park it up top and walk down if parking is tight. You will have a hard time turning around longer vehicles 32 feet+ especially with other vehicles in the parking area depending on how they are parked. The upper parking area has looping driveway easy for getting turned around. Facilities There is a hot tub located behind the main house that is pretty private. We request that you just be courteous with noise after 10pm. This Feature is shared with the other guests on site. There is an external bathroom located by the hot tub with 2 showers, 2 sinks a changing area and toilet. On the back of the facility there is a sign that says bathroom and 2 signs on the front (Loo and the universal sign for bathroom). Beach toys/ Gear Also we have Kayaks free of charge located down near the beach with safety equipment and gear to operate them. We would ask that you bring them back up to were you got them from because when the tide is high it can take float off down the passage. The gear is used so have a good look before dragging it down to the beach to then discover it doesn’t have a seat! There is a water facet down by the fire place near the beach if you want to clean it up first. We also have rubber boots for guests in a large stand up tote on display in the breezeway near the blue loft. We have lots of different sizes and we ask that you just help us keep it in order when taking or putting away gear so it’s nice for the next guests. Other things to note Pricing & Additional Fee breakdown. The breakdown of our pricing is as follows. The base price for the unit covers the first 2 guests. We charge an additional occupancy fee per head of $25.00 per person after the first two guests for units that can sleep more than two. We charge a cleaning fee of $40.00 for paying our cleaner (per stay). We charge a pet fee of $25.00 (per stay). We charge an Administrative fee of $30.00 to cover the lodging/sales taxes and for paying our Co-host (per stay). Farm Animals We have two greeter dogs one bigger and one small both very friendly. The pug is still learning his manners so feel free to let us know if she made a mess. The pug has also followed folks up the driveway before please do not take it to town with you. We are trying to train it to stay on the ranch. They are adorable but we ask to not let them in your unit or keep them overnight. Please feel welcome and knock on the door (call or text too) and ask if something is missing or needs tended too. We have Alpacas. An alpaca is a domesticated species of South American camelid. It resembles a small llama in appearance. There are two breeds of alpaca; the Suri alpaca and the Huacaya alpaca. He likes Kisses and Alpacas have no top teeth therefore they can't bite you. They might let you touch them if they are in the mood too. They do not like their head or faces touched like a dog. Try to touch there long neck or chest area. Beach life Washington State is one of a couple of states that have private tidelands. Feel free to enjoy our beach and remember the rubber boots in the bin if you forgot yours or didn’t expect to go exploring. The property had a small oyster farm on it at one point in time and is interesting to go check it out. Please do not open the oyster bags. If you harvest oysters off the beach make sure to only collect on our site as it is a crime to take from other people’s private property. Please put the shells back on the beach or leave them outside your unit so that we can put them back to nature. Mason County is the biggest producer of shellfish in the country and the people who live here and have beachfront property can get upset if you trespass on their land. Washington is different in this land ownership aspect than most of the country please help us keep in good standing with our neighbors. If you want to do a long beach walk we would recommend Harstine Island state park a short 8 minute drive and great views of Mt Rainer on a sunny day. We hope you enjoy your stay or if you are returning again thank you.
