About Scott VandeZande or Jan Place

My husband and I bought our beach home because we love being on the water. We are sailors, and have a sailboat that we bring to our property, and park on our bouy which is right in front of our home, when we are there, during the summer moths. We decided to share our home with VRBO renters after a very successful experience with our West Seattle VRBO RENTERS. We have 14 reviews, and all 5 star. Please refer to listing number 399739 to get reviews from our recent vacationers at West Seattle. Since we have just listed our Longbranch home, we hope these reviews will give you an idea of how we maintain our homes, as well as our character. We do strive for our vacationers to have a memorable private, and enjoyable family vacation.

Scott VandeZande or Jan Place purchased this house in 2010
Why Scott VandeZande or Jan Place chose Gig Harbor

The sense of peacefulness, quiet, and beauty of the northwest surrounds us while staying at our home. The incredible sunrises, as well as when the sunsets, bring a warm orange cast on the snow capped Mount Rainier throughout the year.

What makes this house unique

Our home has been completely remodeled, so all appliances are new, including remodeled baths, new carpet, and a beautifully decorated, comfortable home, that most would not consider a beach home, but instead, a beautiful home at the beach. The wall to wall windows provide an incredible view from nearly every room.

Just steps to our beach, and minutes from our home is a boat launch. We have a bouy in front of our home, where you can tie your boat. Or if you prefer, there is a Marina in Fulicy bay, just a mile from our waterfront home. Penrose State park is minutes away. There is a local winery for those that enjoy wine tastings. Side trips to Olympic National Park, Hood Canal, Mount Rainier, Mount Saint Helens, Port Townsend, Olympia , Seattle, Bremerton, and Gig Harbor are all points of interest. During the summer there are many local festivals. During the month of August we have delicious blackberries, pears, and plums growing on our property.

Lovely weekend in LongBranch

We spent 2 nights in April and really enjoyed this house. The highlights were the fully stocked kitchen and entire 2nd floor master suite with a soaking tub and view.There is incredible blown glass by the owner everywhere and super comfortable couches in the living room for watching movies at night. The owners were friendly and even sent back our smart phone charger we forgot. It's a very peaceful part of the south sound and we hope to return someday soon!

Great Weekend

We spent a wonderful weekend at this picturesque home, located in a relaxing and peaceful area overlooking Puget Sound. The house is beautifully furnished and has all the comforts of home. Waking up to the view out of the master bedroom was amazing. We spent the mornings sitting on the deck drinking coffee watching the wildlife and enjoying the peace and quiet. We went on an hour long walk and were undisturbed by a traffic. We cooked our meals in the roomy and modern kitchen that has all the amenities you could imagine from a corkscrew to a rice cooker. One evening we built a fire in the fireplace and enjoyed a good movie. If you want to get away from it all this is a great place to stay. We look forward to staying here again.

Awsome Anniversary Weekend

5 of 5
Submitted: March 15, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We stayed at this home for our anniversary weekend and we could not have picked a better location. The views of the Puget Sound where just spectacular, even though we did not have any clear days it was still wonderful. The house was very clean and was equipped with everything we needed and more. A beautiful, spacious, modern kitchen. Wonderful master bedroom and bath with an awesome view. The location of this home is in a quiet, peaceful, tranquil area, but still only a 1 hour ferry ride into Seattle. We would certainly recommend this home to anyone of our family or friends and I know we will return in the future.

Four of us spent last weekend in this beautiful home in Longbranch. It was so relaxing. The house was super comfortable (we mostly talked and ate and watched movies by the fire). The view from the home is spectacular, to say the least. This is a perfect place for a peaceful getaway - and it's so easily reached from Seattle.
