We booked with Martha's lodge 7-8 months in advance for a large family (wedding) celebration in the…read moresummer of 2020. Then COVID hit. Even with 2-3 months notice, Martha V. would not allow us to even RESCHEDULE our booking, but chose to exploit the pandemic to keep our funds. With no help from VRBO, we cancelled our reservation to protect our family, and Martha kept our money. I expected more cooperation during the difficult time. If you are deciding between renting from Martha or some other business, I strongly encourage you to avoid Martha V vacation rentals. Not only is it a risk to do business with such a greedy vendor, but I implore you to patronize other honest businesses in the area.

Mark Schwartz catered our reception in the garden of McComb Nursery, at the day's end of our…read morenursery tours. Mark is the chef for the Williams Manor and Organic Gardens, a new bed and breakfast in Sequim. It was a delicious meal prepared with seasonal and organic ingredients, much of which Mark actually grew himself! Stuffed tomatoes, shrimp with herbed cream cheese on baguettes, blue cheese dip with crackers - everything was scrumptious and beautifully presented. And the pickled garlic scapes were so incredible, I believe I embarrassed myself. Mark's task was complicated by serving outdoors, in a garden and a somewhat limited budget. Thank you, Mark for pulling it together so well. Our group, APLD, the Association of Professional Landscape Designers was visiting the Olympic Peninsula from Seattle.

A group of 20 of us rented the Castle in October for a Game of Thrones Halloween party, and it was…read morejust phenomenal. The castle is so unique. Everyone had a blast. Keep in mind- this is an older place, and the business is family run. While it's an amazing, one-of-a-kind experience, it definitely has more "character" than a high end hotel. There's some wear and tear, but it did not take away from our enjoyment. The hot tub in the dungeon is closer to a large bathtub. I'd say maybe 3 people could use it at once? Don't go in expecting a more standard six person hot tub. While we were really excited to go on the roof, they do close it once it gets towards winter (likely for safety reason), and it was closed for the season by the time we were there at the end of October. Don't forget to find the secret room behind the poster!

I was planning to spend this weekend with my two children at a lovely cabin in Port Angeles,…read moremanaged by Sequim Valley Properties. Our plan was to spend the whole weekend outside. Unfortunately, due to massive fires in California and Oregon, the air in Western Washington became unhealthy and I made the difficult decision to cancel our trip. I first attempted to reschedule the trip to mid-October, hoping that by pushing our trip back, we'd be out of fire season and able to enjoy the outdoors. This was met by a phone call from Simone at Sequim Valley Properties, who accused me of overreacting, and berated me for the last minute cancellation and for requesting "all kinds of accommodations" (I had literally only asked if I could bring our family dog). She told me she would let me reschedule to mid-October, but only if I could guarantee that there would be no changes to the reservation. Since that's not a guarantee I could make (I am unfortunately not capable of predicting the future), and she was making me feel VERY uncomfortable to the point where I dreaded having to interact with her for a future vacation, I opted instead to cancel my reservation altogether. My girls and I will unfortunately never get to enjoy the lovely cabin in Port Angeles; at least not while Sequim Valley Properties is managing it. Simone's behavior was completely unacceptable. I'm not going to tolerate abuse from a property manager because of extenuating circumstances, and am certainly not going to give them any future business.

Simone and her lovely staff really go the extra mile. We got a phone call to check on us, because…read morethe wind was creating power outages one night. We also thought it was thoughtful the heat had been turned up before we arrived. Have stayed in a few of this company's vacay rentals, and they are all unique and comfortable. The website is really easy to use and book through - lots of reviews and photos, to find the house that's just right. I saw another reviewer had trouble getting forgotten items returned. I had the opposite experience - got my items back in a reasonable time period. I'm sure that is the biggest pain for these property managers! I just love coming to Sequim and trying out different spots to take in the mountains and the ocean views. Simone has like 30 properties to choose from!

She let us know the pros and cons of every area between Port Townsend and Port Ludlow, creating informative videos if there was a listing that ever caught our eye.

We had an accepted offer within 4 hours of her reaching out to us. The house is a dream come true, and that is saying a lot for Beth, especially in this out of control real estate market.
