Reviews for this vacation cabin rental in Lakebay, Washington
I had a wonderful relaxing time with friends last Labor day. The setting was great and I really enjoyed the feeling of being away from it all, but in close enough driving proximity to get supplies and such. Fresh air, plenty to wander around and do or just a great time sitting back taking it all in. I look forward to my next adventure out there. Its fun to lift up logs on the beach and watch the little crabs scatter.
I had the chance to stay at riptide on three different occasions from July to September 2007 - what an awesome place! The view from the yard is spectacular, the beach is super-close and I love that there is a tipi and a tree house in close proximity. Very relaxing, lots of stuff to poke on the beach, and lots of wildlife to oooh and aaahhh over.
We are fortunate to live close enough to drive to Riptide for weekend get aways when we just need a break from the world! The calming atmosphere makes for the most wonderful and relaxing experience to be found. My son cooked and ate his first clam, dug up by his own hands - it was quite an experience! Sandy - thank you for the beautiful memories and 'R&R' your cabin, the beach, the sunrises & sunsets have brought to our family and friends!
The comfort of home with the beauty of Puget Sound all around. My husband & I love to come with a group of local friends and make a "family reunion" of it.
During A "strenuous" week at Riptide I read three books and sketched and painted sunsets over the mountain, wild flowers, and the woods. I feasted on salmon and oysters, purchased locally and barbequed on the patio. The bald eagle even flew by one evening to check us out. What a wonderful rest. Thank you.
situated above puget sound, a trail down to the beach...this was such a serene and peaceful world away from the city..terrific hiking, beachcombing..great patio..open living, with the feel of being at an established summer home...architecturally mid- century cooooool Felt like a great family camp. The sunrises over the water and Mt Rainier greeting you every day is sheer heaven....thanks for letting us be a part of it ! We'll be back!
