Luxury Vacation Homes in Seattle and Beyond
Beach houses, mountain cabins and city homes across the Pacific Northwest and beyond, run by hospitality people.
Work and life shouldn’t compete. Both are better when aligned and able to shift throughout the day.
We want to make getting caught up on emails as joyful as possible and discovering the taco truck around the corner something you’ll always remember.
We take what you love about hotels and what you appreciate about vacation rentals and bring them together into one perfect stay.
We’re where plush towels meet full kitchens, and a morning conference call leads to an afternoon of discovering your new favorite neighborhood.
Your accommodation should encourage living life on your terms. At Recreation, you have the opportunity to be productive, adventurous, pampered and relaxed all in one place.
Some of the activities you can experience around our properties include:
700
Miles of Hiking and Bike Trails
47
Wineries and Breweries
8
White Water Rafting Spots
62
Ski Runs
The place was literally two blocks from the park area and an easy walk to the Space Needle, Pop Museum, and Gardens. About a 15 min car service ride to the Market with tons of food and shops. Everything worked fine for our group of 5. Highly recommend, and will stay again the next we visit Seattle. Thanks!!

Peaceful and beautiful! While the resort is leans vintage, it’s also what makes it special. Reading the journal entries of those who stayed in Unit 21 from 1991 or so, made it clear that this is a place where special moments occur and memories made. Many of the entries state that families return countless of times! My 2-night stay with my young grandchildren was perfect. The unit was super clean and the office staff friendly and helpful! The sofa bed was comfy and the kiddos thought it great fun as they’d never seen a pull out sofa before! The bedroom bed was also very comfortable. The full kitchen was great to have, just remember to bring all you need for your planned meals. The kids loved playing in the sand by the river, walking the beach, playing horseshoes and painting rocks. The painted rocks that cover the property, again, reflected the many who enjoyed this resort before us. The kids and I plan on returning and making more of our own memories!

Positive:
The house was in a great neighborhood and close to beach access. It was only an 8 minute drive to downtown Ocean Shores. There was plenty of space for the 7 members of my family. The hot tub was clean and worked great. There was a slight problem with the internet, but thanks to the onsight manager, it was able to be fixed pretty quickly. We loved the big kitchen area and open dining room with plenty of space for dinners, games and crafts. All in all, we had a great time!
Negative:
Check-in at 5pm was so late! We hoped to get the early check-in but even after paying for that it was not available. There are some things that need updated to make the stay even better, for example: the furniture, only one TV with very little cable channels and no ability to stream, limited kitchen cookware & utensils (good thing I brought my own pan), the hot tub cover is really heavy and split in half making it a two person job to take off and on. Also, the laundry room connects to the owners house, where the manager stays (although there were no issues, it was not mentioned on the website).

Positive:
– The proximity to local stores and restaurants. I could grab a bite on the go just opposite the property.
– Security is on a 💯. Keyless entry is top notch..
Negative:
Honestly, there is nothing I didn’t like. But I would advise that they could consider putting a tall mirror by the big plant in the living room.

We really enjoyed the spaciousness of the house, the beautiful ocean view, and the many amenities provided. The location is also wonderful—quiet and peaceful, while still only about a 5-minute drive from Seabrook, where you can easily find a grocery store and restaurants.
That said, the house could definitely use some better maintenance. The entrance was difficult to find because of the overgrown trees and plants, one of the shower handles had been replaced with a pair of pliers, and the blinds were missing in the kids’ room, so we ended up using sheets to cover the windows for privacy and sleep.
Overall, this is a great house in a lovely location with a lot of potential. We just wish it were maintained a little better, as a few improvements would make the stay much more comfortable and enjoyable.

Our stay at the condo at the HiTide resort was amazing! We’d been on the road for over a month, and although we booked a two night stay, we were offered a third night with a discount and immediately accepted because the area was so relaxing, private and welcoming. The beach access is tremendous, with easy walks over short dunes on maintained paths through sand grass. The staff were all incredibly friendly, always ready with information, suggestions and checking to see if we had everything we needed – without over intruding. While at a local restaurant, I mentioned to the waitress that we were st staying at the HiTide. Her response was, “Oh, that’s so good. It’s the only authentic place left around here.” The price was incredibly reasonable and the accommodations exceeded our expectations, and the privacy, beauty, uniqueness and access to the beach were extraordinary! Also, I’ve never seen so many sand dollars!
— Anne Andrews
Positive:
It was a cozy place and worked out for the 5 nights I stayed.
Negative:
No AC or fans provided so it was always hot in the condo. Only the bedroom window opens, the sliding door could be useful if there was a screen on it. Kitchen window doesn’t open, so leaves you with just the bedroom window to open. Also had no wifi, no internet the entire stay. They said they were working on it but never got it working.
— Jacinda Slack
We had such a wonderful getaway here. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to unplug from the busyness of everyday life, this is it. The photos honestly don’t do it justice. the property is right on the water, with beautiful views and such a quiet, private atmosphere. It was the perfect place to relax, recharge, and just enjoy being present. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape.

We enjoyed the great proximity to the beach which is accessible via a walking path. Their pet policy was confusing as I asked if they would allow us to bring our dog which they allowed for a fee. But when I asked to pay the fee they said that dogs weren’t allowed. So they ended up allowing our dog based on the previous communication indicating that I was ok. This place needs some help with curb appeal and discussion with long term tenants who leave clutter around the place.

Overall our stay at this house worked out. It started rough and ended well. We appreciated the host’s positive and prompt response. First, the pros:
Pros:
Very clean!
Relatively private
Comfortable beds
Comfortable couch in living room, nice place to hang out.
Nice trail access to the beach.
Fun game room with something for everyone.
Cons:
Properties along driveway before the house were sketchy. We had no issues but it gave us pause.
The water tasted and smelled really bad. We ended up buying water for drinking.
The host bills themselves as luxury property hosts but this property is not quite that.
The outdoor grill was not available for our use since it was broken before we arrived. While we were there the fridge broke and we lost our food. The host responded promptly and agreed to a refund. Everything else was in working order.
— Ted Ryan
We had a wonderful stay at this home and would definitely stay here again! The home was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of space to relax. We especially enjoyed spending time on the deck, and the location was perfect for us since it was close to family we were visiting.
The check-in and check-out process was incredibly easy and made our stay completely stress-free. The home had everything we needed, and it was a great place to come back to after exploring Seattle each day.
Adam was a great host, and we truly appreciated the opportunity to stay in this home. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located place to stay in the Seattle area, and we look forward to returning on our next visit!
— Laura Willet
Spacious home with an open floor plan and great territorial and water view of the ship channel. The kitchen is really nice especially if you want to cook! The home is well stocked, the host was very accommodating whenever needed and Queen Anne is a lovely neighborhood in Seattle. The place is quiet, peaceful and in a safe and beautiful area.
— Colby Remsing
What a beautiful little space right on the lake. It was wonderful to live in a space where we were lake people for a short period of time- the private dock and shore space with the fire pit is dreamy! Great access to the Hood Canal but you’ll want to hunker down and be on the lake in this gem.
— Jessica Hopkins-Hubbard
A few things were reported: a broken Keurig, very cold downstairs where second bedroom and bath were, whereas the upstairs tended to be too warm. There was one dish towel!!!
The gate had to be lifted up to enter the side of house so it didn’t stick on cobblestones. One cobblestone was very loose once inside the gate-crooked and uneven stones made it difficult not to trip.
But all in all, we were pleased with our stay and would recommend this home to others.
— Linda Zager
We had a great stay and the location was perfect to visit both the Paradise and Sunrise regions of Mount Rainier. The cabin was super cozy and accommodated our family of 5 well. The loft beds were fun! The host was very responsive and checked in to make sure we were all settled. Highly recommend!
— Meghan Gencev
Good location for visiting Packwood and close to hikes in Mount Rainier National Park. The cabin is quaint, but small if you are a large person. The cabin is located in a quiet neighborhood, and only a 5-minute drive into the town of Packwood. You can drive to the top of the passes in about 30-40 minutes and access many trailheads along the way.
— Mike Adams
My family loved our stay here! Beautiful views from both upstairs and main level windows, and the chairs out front. The beds were so soft and comfortable, the rain shower in upstairs bathroom was heavenly, and soft towels and washcloths were plentiful. The house felt like home and everything was clearly labeled. We will recommend this home to friends and family and would stay here again if given the opportunity. Thanks for the great communication, Adam & team!
— Serena Osen
We enjoyed our stay! This home was perfect for a gathering of 6 adults, plenty of space for us to gather, make meals, and lounge. We had private access to the beach which was amazing. The hosts were very responsive to our needs when a couple issues arose. Overall, would highly recommend for a bigger group.
— Xochilt Hoover
This is one of those occasions where the pictures didn’t do it justice! When we arrived, our group was in awe. The home was incredibly beautiful and spacious, but the view was even more spectacular. It was so incredibly peaceful to fall asleep to the sound of the flowing river.
The kitchen was very spacious and had modern appliances, and was stocked with everything you could possibly need.
My only wish was that we stayed longer so that we could explore the area more. It felt like a perfect home away from home.
The host was very responsive with every question I had.
— Lori Peternell
We had quite the adventure. The cabin was great! During a windstorm a tree fell against the house and we lost power. The management responded quickly and we were able to arrange to leave early although we would have loved to stay longer if we could. We would love to try to stay there again in the future.
— Gary Mitchell
We had a wonderful stay! The Airbnb looked exactly like the online pictures and was spotless when we arrived. It’s located in a quiet area, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, which made our stay even more comfortable.
The space was the perfect size for 2–4 people. Whether you’re visiting to golf or simply looking for a peaceful getaway, this is an excellent choice. We would definitely recommend staying here and would happily return!
— Maria Diaz
I couldnt have asked for a better place to stay in my first visit to Leavenworth. The place was clean and really nicely set up and with an extremely comfortable at home kinda feel. Right in the middle of everything and rarely had to use our car, everything in walking distance which my family loved. When ever we had any qeustions we got an answer back quickly which was appreciated. Would recommend this stay hands down and would definitely stay here again. A very strong five stars from me.
— Michael Higgins
Our family of 4 enjoyed the quiet town for a few days. The beach is pretty quiet and so is the neighborhood. Booking this unit you will have the bottom half of the house. There isn’t a view from the home. The beds are hard but everything is clean and well kept.
The local grocer is so friendly!
— Christine Hadley
Great beachfront stay! The location was unbeatable — right on the sand, with gorgeous sunset views every evening and morning beach walks where we spotted all kinds of marine life. Such a peaceful way to start the day. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well.
A few small things could use an upgrade: the hot water didn’t quite keep up when all four of us showered back-to-back, the wifi was spotty, and the TV is on the older, smaller side. None of that took away from the experience though — the location alone makes this place worth it. We’d happily stay again!
— Raj Santhakumar
We loved our vacation to Dover! It was a great space and very close to the lake! Host was very responsive, and fast to reply. Although they did not quite know what was available to us within the home. FYI, for any future guests: there is a barbecue, there are beach towels, and a starter pack of basic supplies is provided. Overall great space! Very clean!
— Diana Piefer
I had a very comfortable stay here. It was so nice being just a couple minutes from the ferry terminal and just steps from great restaurant, museum, and entertainment venues. Adam was responsive and helpful during my stay. I’ll keep this location on my list for the next time I’m in the Bremerton area.
