Holiday rentals with a kayak in Kent

I had an amazing weekend stay at this beautiful lakefront property! The cozy vibe and tasteful decor made it feel like a true getaway. One of the highlights was the spacious deck overlooking the lake, it was the perfect spot to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning while taking in the peaceful views. We especially enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings, roasting marshmallows and unwinding under the stars. The private deck by the water was another favorite, great for lounging during the day and even better for fishing right off the dock. It was such a treat to enjoy quiet moments by the water throughout the day. Grant was a fantastic host, super responsive and helpful, which made everything easy and stress-free. I'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic escape. Would love to come back!

2nd visit to this wonderful house. Great for families with teens or young adults - between the pool table, the kayaks and the space itself. We'll be back!

The house was absolutely beautiful. Decorations were perfect. Very modern and comforting. The view was unbelievable. Any issues that we had, Ming and team addressed immediately. It was very comfortable. The beds were comfortable. The sheets were comfortable. The carpet was thick and very nice. Everything was beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for more. This was the 2nd home of Ming’s that we stayed in over the last month. Both perfect! Ming…. Great job!!

Our stay at the Ostrich nest was great! Right on the water, with plenty of amenities and a fantastic outdoor space to take advantage of. We kayaked around the island in about 95 leisurely minutes using the provided kayaks and paddles. A/C was available but not needed - yet good to know it was there. The kitchen had everything you'd expect from a short term rental as well. All in all, it was a good weekend.

Our family of eight had a wonderful time in Seattle during our spring break trip, and one of the highlights was staying at Thai’s home. The house was spotless, fully equipped, and perfect for a large family like ours. The serene view of the lake made our stay even more enjoyable. Thai was incredibly kind and helpful—he welcomed us on arrival and checked in throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend this home to anyone looking to make their trip memorable and truly worthwhile.

Lisa has gone above and beyond to make her guests feel at home. From the welcome snacks to the small sunscreen and other items in the bathrooms, she has put a lot of thought and planning to ensure guests have an exceptional experience at the lake. The kitchen has some of the nicest cooking tools that I have seen in an Airbnb and we were able to happily cook most meals in. We stayed three nights and enjoyed kayaking, hiking in the local area, as well as eating at local restaurants. It was a perfect vacation with our kids and we created many happy memories. One of the most unexpected surprises was the floating dock on the lake: my daughter spent two hours daily playing on the dock, jumping back and forth between the deck and the floating dock. It felt like a giant water bed. I wouldn't hesitate to book this place, I cannot recommend it enough.

The Airbnb was in a quiet area of Metro-Seattle. It is about 20 minutes away by car from the city center. Nice, bright and clean place exactly like the photos. The host was always friendly and polite too. A wonderful place to stay for a getaway. Thank you so much for a great experience.

We had a nice stay at Michael’s place, we enjoyed the river and garden and how much he put into his outdoor space. The home was clean and well kept. He had lots of recommendations for the river area and we appreciated that.

A gorgeous spot on the lake - especially loved the fireplaces, hot tub, and dock w/ a view of Mount Rainier!

This is a cozy little spot that makes for a perfect retreat from the world while still having some great amenities just a mile or two down the green winding roads. I can't wait to bring the pups back later this summer when the lake warms up!

We loved our stay! The deep sea / blue theme was so welcoming, and the location right on the shore was beautiful. Lots of birds and eagles and cute animals on the property. I fell in love with Edgar the black cat! Margo and Sam are so kind and wonderful. Highly recommend for a single person, 2 close friends, or couple's getaway!

This place is AMAZING! The photos do not do it justice; the views are superb. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. Super peaceful and lots to see and do on the property. Christian also made it a point to get the place prepared for check in a bit earlier due to flights arriving earlier than expected. Super accommodating and responsive host; would love to stay here again.

Beautiful place and amazing view. Enjoyed being right on the water - rooms, decks, fire pit(s), and hot tub were amazing. Really enjoyed watching the sea otters in the Sound. Well cared for place.

This place is amazing! I loved that it was like staying at a friend's house - it had so much character. Not boring and staged like a hotel. There wasn't an "owner's closet" like most rentals. Jess is a beautiful soul that shares her amazing space and genuinely wants you to enjoy every minute. From the decor to the records, hammock, outdoor tub, kayaks, exploring the low tide wildlife...everything brought peace and relaxation. We never even turned on the television...it was magical!

Wonderful stay. Beautiful surroundings and very cozy and comfortable house and furnishings. Really nice to have a hot tub right there with a view! Great for a big family or small group. Kitchen was very well supplied. Lots to do right around the property. Hosts had everything very organized and easy to follow. Would 100% stay again!

Jacob's place is really special! The view and outdoor seating area would make this spot worth it, but the house is also really well taken care of, cozy, and enjoyable to spend time in. We loved our time here and felt it was a great home base for exploring the area or relaxing on the water.

We had a wonderful and peaceful vacation weekend in Allyn! Fang’s home was easy to get to and settle into. We loved watching the water and tides, and it was easy to walk to restaurant, coffee shops and more. We spent most of our days on day trips in the region (Staircase Ridge & Hama Hama Oysters, and the Tacoma Zoo). This was the perfect place to recharge. We also loved the kayaks and hot tub, and generally cozy space. Fang was proactive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay as well.

I hesitate to reveal how great Carl's place is because I don't want it to become so popular that it becomes hard for me to book. The setting is spectacular. If you like to cook, the kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans everything you need. There are also basic staples that renters can use. If you don't like to cook, a lakeside restaurant is a short walk from Carl's. The restaurant is currently open Wed- Sun. We went on a couple of short hikes that were close by. Millersylvania Park is about a 15 min. drive. We also enjoyed seeing the Monarch Butterfly Sculpture Garden. Lots of outdoor art and a fun area for kids (or adults) to play in. I had some questions for Carl and he always responded quickly and clearly. Carl and Sue make available everything that the renter might forget to bring: Toothbrushes, Q-tips, shampoo, etc. Did I mention the jar of chocolates? We are not fishing enthusiasts, but it looks like that could be fun. Carl also has kayaks & life vests.

This was such a lovely place to spend our honeymoon. Surrounded by nature in every direction, waking up to birds chirping and a beautiful lake view. There were so many small details, from extra toothbrushes and a blow dryer in the bathroom to twinkle lights on the patio for a romantic evening outside. Jordyn was so responsive and helpful! Thanks for a great stay.

It’s a must if you are looking for a peaceful family getaway! Our family really enjoyed the beautiful views, open windows, spacious patio, kayaks and wildlife. The property was very clean, with clear and detailed instructions. Definitely returning for a longer stay!

Annie’s place is a beachcomber’s dream! The house had everything we needed to be comfortable, and the location is great. The views are spectacular, especially if you’re looking for a place to watch eagles soaring high above, seals playing in the Puget Sound, and there was even the cutest little beach raccoon scavenging for shellfish. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful cottage on the water! The surroundings are very peaceful. Nice to watch the tides. the kitchen was well outfitted includingna gas range and teapot! Loved it, thanks, Erin!

Wonderful place, has to be the best one on the lake, unobstructed view of the lake and no zero houses on the opposite side, you literally looking at the forest after the lake ends from the patio. Great fishing spot too, we caught lots of trout and sunfish. Respectful neighbors around, was very quiet during our stay there. We’ve had an extremely relaxing time! Billie is a great host! It was definitely one of our top stays of all time!

My partner and I stayed at Daniel’s place for the weekend, and it was truly magical. Nestled in the woods, the cabin is warm, cozy, and incredibly peaceful. We loved starting our mornings with coffee and a short walk to the nearby beach—just a three-minute stroll away. The whole area felt like a perfect escape from the world. We spent our days biking, paddleboarding, and kayaking through the beautiful surroundings. It was a special experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for sharing this place, Daniel!
