Cute, clean, comfortable
This condo is adorable and cozy! It is beautifully decorated with a beach theme. The king-sized bed was soft, plenty of space for 2 and our dogs. The area is very nice and located near the state park and beach. We spent a lot of time taking the dogs for long walks, very relaxing. It was very nice to have a fully equipped kitchen to make coffee in the morning and breakfast. The host had great communication and was very accommodating. Westport is a cute little sleepy fishing town. Unless you are interested in taking a fishing charter there's not a whole lot to do. We did eat some fabulous pizza and I found a cute boutique shop in town. There are a few places to buy fresh seafood! Like I said, it was very relaxing and if you like to ride bikes, hike or just stroll along the beach... perfect! My only "complaint" about the condo is the walls are a little thin, you can hear people walking above you and can hear the neighbors, kind of like a hotel. If you are sensitive to noise and are trying to sleep in I suggest earplugs or white noise. My husband is still raving about our trip and the condo a week later. We will definitely look at booking this place first when we come back to Westport!

beautiful cabin.. lovely drive. There was quite a bit of flooding in the area, which Clarissa reached out about and was extremely pleased with the communication. Upon arriving, the outside of the cabin had a smell similar to animal urine, which permeated inside. I do understand that it’s a very moist area and it could have risen from the ground, so not really a complaint, but something to be aware of. When we entered, the heat was on and the cabin was clean. As we walked through the bathroom, the floor felt like it’s about to cave in and had weak spots and holes in the linoleum. The deck is lovely and the hot tub was up to temp! however, when we pulled back the cover, an overwhelming aroma of mildew wafted up.. the tub was clean and the water clear, so we assumed it was just the cover and the moisture from the rain. Once we got out, our suits and hair smelled of mildew though, so i’m not sure. Overall, beautiful area and lovely cabin; however if you want privacy, that may be a little difficult with neighbors about 8ft away on each side.

Absolutely Gorgeous!
This property was absolutely beautiful. It was exactly as pictured, except for the gorgeous new granite countertops and the lovely new tile backsplash in shades of blue and green and bronze. That was all a pleasant surprise! It felt like a little piece of heaven. We enjoyed the fireplace and watching the sunset from the balcony. The beach access was so convenient, and we made good use of the boogie boards and beach chairs provided in the storage closet. The beds were very comfortable. We all slept well each night! The pool and hot tub area was also extremely convenient, clean and lovely. We used the barbeques in the public area a couple of times for some delicious steak dinners, which reminds me, the kitchen is very well equipped. The town of Westport is quite charming, and we found some amazing little places to eat there, as well, based on the recommendations that Linda left in the guide folder. Oh, and I forget to mention that the condo was immaculately clean! I mean spotless! I cannot recommend this place highly enough. I really, really hope we can visit again.

Alex’s place was cozy and had just what I needed for a night’s rest in the midst of a long journey. I even had access to filtered water in the kitchen and was able to refill my water bottle and make myself some hot water in the morning. Check in was a breeze and finding the room was easy. The room is quite small, but has the necessities - a large bed, a comfy nook chair by the window, a closet, lots of outlets, and a working desk and chair. The bathroom is modern and has a large sink and a shower with hot water. Alex’s cat was very curious and friendly, just like he said. I enjoyed the affection (and I’m sure so did the cat). I’m allergic to cats if I stay in the same room with them for too long, but since they’re not allowed in the guest bedroom, I felt totally fine. The cherry on top is that Alex absorbs the unjustly inflated AirBnB fees and doesn’t charge a cleaning fee. I really wish more owners would do this. I feel like it can really encourage people to take care of the space as if it were their own. Thanks for the stay, Alex, and I hope you continue to keep your home open to weary travelers and bold explorers.

The location is perfect and quiet. We brought e-bikes and pedal bikes, a must! The walk to the beach is 6-10 minutes depending on how fast you walk. We enjoyed cutting the time in half with bikes! One block over you can get on the Discovery trail. We took it and road all the way to Cape Disappointment and the Light Houses. We stopped and got ice cream at Scoops. It was fun watching bald eagles on the perches near the ocean. We ate chowder from the Chowder Stop, fish and chips with oyster shooters from Drop Anchor, and Thai prawns at the Cove golf course. Many restaurants were closed while we were there so we felt lucky to find a few open. Make sure you eat early, places close by 7:30-8:00pm. The condo is very comfortable and has everything you need. The kids were content on spending every second on the beach. I was glad we brought a nerf football. There is a fun executive golf course two blocks from the condo. Make sure to bring bug spray! I was thrilled we choose this condo over others in town.

The Blue Bungalow was super cute, cool because of AC, a MUST in Spokane, and large. Hilary was quick and courteous for communication right from the first interaction before we even committed to booking. I’ve stayed at other Airbnb’s where there was little to no communication and no responses back when questions were asked. HUGE irritation of mine. Treat others how you want to be treated. Super simple. So loved Hilary’s communication. Hilary had music playing on the tv’s and lamps on when we walked in which was super inviting. Big comfy couch, super comfy bed in master. It is soft and was a bit too soft for my hubby but perfect for me. Our son loved the big backyard and so did we for relaxing and playing in the sprinkler we brought. Also, he loved the extra toys Hilary had supplied :) there’s a high chair as well. There are board games that we didn’t have time to play, but was a great thing to have! There were some hairs in the bathtub that the cleaners missed, which I reluctantly cleaned because that grosses me out haha But besides that, everything else was super clean. And I don’t think they’ll miss it again because Hilary is on it! Lots of super comfy blankets and quilts all over, loved that! I’m not sure if that last guest left the Pepsi in the fridge but I happily drank it :) Wifi, smart tv’s, lots of outdoor seating, big dining room table, and huge windows looking outside to the yard and side patio area. Lots of room on the driveway for two vehicles. This has been our favourite Airbnb by far; exactly what we expect and want from every experience. Thank you Hilary :)

Spectacular
Wow, how many amazing things can I say about this place? It truly was an amazing cabin for a snow weekend getaway. We loved it so much that we want to return in the summer to enjoy the lake. The cabin was spacious, warm, and very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking supplies and we didn’t need anything that wasn’t already provided. The beds were comfortable. Lots of towels and bedding. The hot tub was the nicest one I’ve ever been in. Sitting in it while it snows was very magical. The plow man came by late enough in the morning as to not wake you up, but early enough so you didn’t feel trapped in for the day. The owners were always quick to respond to your messages. There were not a million signs around the house telling you the do’s and don’t’s, but you were given all the information that you needed. The only draw back is I would say there wasn’t much seating in the living room for everyone, but that was only an issue at night before bed, and wouldn’t be an issue at all in the warmer months when you’re able to enjoy the huge deck or other outside areas. We really loved this place and would have bought it if it were available.

Awesome Suite, Especially for Pups!
This suite was perfect for my 2 big pups! The suite entrance opens up to the outdoors where they had could run. The nearby walk by the water and small trail were fun outings to do with them. And after all that, they could wrestle in one part of the suite while I got some work done in another. Shiyi is also definitely the best host ever! So communicative and thoughtful, not to mention she makes some incredible baked goods that she shares!!! This was the perfect stay!
