Photos and Description of the Olympia vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Detached Unit, 1.5+ Baths, (Sleeps 6)

This charming vacation property is located just to the west of Olympia, on the tip of Johnson Point, where you'll view an abundance of wildlife, and sip your favorite morning brew while watching the constant flow of tugs, trawlers, and sailors rounding the Point on their Puget Sound journeys. To the east is a breathtaking view of Mt. Rainier and the Cascade Mountain range, while the Olympic Mountains are in view to the west.

For a full description of the home and property, please scroll down until you find the link to our Home Page, or go to JohnsonPointBeachHouse(dot)com

Note: Please be advised that this home is best suited for Guests in reasonable physical condition. The home is located at beach level; however, parking is located on an upper tier of the property. A meandering hillside path with railing (roughly equivalent to 3 or 4 flights of stairs) provides Guests with access to the home.

An old-fashioned ''supply trolley'' is available to transposrt luggage, groceries, and other supplies up and down the hill. Our family members walk the path routinely, but the home would not be suitable for those who are severely out of shape, have a physical disability, or those who deplore a bit of physical exercise.

The benefit of the home site is that it provides for a truly unique, very private, and charming waterfront setting. The home is completely unhindered by road traffic, noisy neighbors, etc. Most Guests find that they only venture up and down the hillside path a few times per day, and view the walk as a minor incovenience allowing them to benefit from a unique setting that can't be found elsewhere.

About Jeff & Tracey Wittenfeld

Tracey and Jeff Wittenfeld

Johnson Point Beach Retreat Owners

Jeff & Tracey Wittenfeld purchased this house in 2003
Why Jeff & Tracey Wittenfeld chose Olympia

We chose this home after 6 years of shopping for Northwest waterfront. It is extremely rare to find such a private and peaceful setting on a sandy beach with views of both Mt Rainier and the Olympic Mountains. The charming trolley is a nice way to transport supplies to the home and the boat house / ramp are highly coveted toys on the sound for any boater. The community is truly lovely with a most enjoyable walk around the 'loop' to get to excercise while passing by resident cows, goats, horses and an occasional red tail fox. The combination of natural treasures is very rare.

Located on some of the most pristine beaches of Puget Sound on the charming and quaint tip of Johnson Point. Enjoy the peace and solitude of having a nearly private beach all to yourself for beach combing, sealife watching and water sport recreation. At high tide the home feels like a house boat, given that it is on a concrete bulk head. At low tide gain acres of sandy beach for exploration.

Just down the beach is Zittle's Marina, a charming marina with a convenience store, moorage and boat ramp. You'll be entertained watching boat activity galore, as all boats traveling between Tacoma and Olympia pass through Dana Passage in front of our home.

Toss your line in the water and try to catch dinner for the BBQ. Or, dig down to some clams or toss out a crab pot for famous Puget Sound Dungenous, just down the beach.

Enjoy wild life? Check out sea lions, otters and seals as they bask on Zittle's pilings, swim past our home or sun themselves on our float. Our point is home to a resident herring, Harold, our numerous hummingbirds and graceful eagles, in addition to countless others.

Like to walk? Take a picturesque stroll around our loop for great excercise while enjoying pastoral setting with cows, horses and goats. And, odds are you'll spot deer, red fox and raccoons.

Want to experience city life and the state capitol? We are about 10 minutes away from downtown shopping, restaurants, nightlife and sight seeing. Take a stroll down Percival landing on the water front to visit marinas, restaurants and quaint shops.

Planning a visit to the big city of Seattle? We are within driving distance to the most populated city in Washington. Check out the Space Needle, famed Pike Place Market, Seattle Mariners or Seahawks. Water travel via ferry or excursion boat are a fantastic way to get a real feel for this great lifestyle that is truly Northwest treasure.

Family Stay

Submitted: April 3, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
We stayed with our two young children ages 11 and 3 for two weeks in March. It was so peaceful for us having come from Tokyo. It was exactly what we needed. Our children had a superb time playing on the beach directly in front of the home, relaxing in the hot tub and roasting marshmallows in the fire pit outside the home. The home is well kept and extremely cozy. I am originally from Seattle, which is what brought me back to the area. All my relatives that came to visit us at the home immediately feel in love with the place and did not want to leave. We will definitely be back, as long as it is available. I cannot say enough about this lovely property. Thank you Jeff and Tracey.

Owner's Response: Joe,

We are so pleased that we were able to provide your family a cozy home away from home while you were visiting our area. It is our pleasure to get to share our place with other families to get to experience the wonderful Puget Sound beach living experience. We just booked a stay for your brother, as well. So, I guess it is true that your family loved it!

Please come back and visit us at any time.

Our best, Jeff & Tracey

Fabulous Place

I've never used this site before so was a little nervous as I was taking my Mom and her best friend for a much needed get away. The second we arrived we were warmly greeted and felt immediatly at ease. The family who owns the house truly make you feel welcome and treat you as instant friends. The house is gorgeous, very clean, and right on the water. I can not express in enough words how perfect our stay was, not a single complaint. We will be back!!!!!!

Fantastic waterfront retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: August 24, 2011 Stayed: August 2011
This retreat was perfect for our family of 4, to include male and female teenagers.Our college-aged son who has some hotel/resort management interests thought it was more perfect for us than the 5-star resort-type places he convinced us to go to in the past! We loved the seclusion, wildlife, waterfront location, and peace.There's lots to do in the area, but we "cooked in" a number of the days because of the beautiful views to include Mt Rainier. We think we saw a sea otter or seal a hundred yards out.

The owners were wonderful and always available. We definitely will recommend this property to friends and relatives!

Owner's Response: We are so pleased to hear about what a nice time your family had. We know how hard it is to please young adults, so we consider that to be an even a bigger compliment. It truly is a special place and we are happy to share our place to help others make great memories together. Please come visit again!

An amazing dream week right on the Sound in a house we could really call home!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 14, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
Our whole family came for our daughter's graduation from TESC, and this was the perfect place to be; close enough to town for the festivities, the farmers market, sightseeing, etc., but far enough away not to be bothered by traffic and the city bustle. You know you're on vacation when the big excitement of the day is watching the tide come in to touch the sea wall, seeing the geoduck barges go by, and keeping track of "Henry", the resident Great Blue Heron. We were able to host several sizable get togethers with family and friends, had campfires, walked on the beach, some even went clamming with great success! We saw all kinds of waterfowl, eagles, seals, and even some porpoise. The house was very clean and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed. Soaking in the hot tub overlooking the Sound was superb. Not sure if we'll ever need to return to Oly for any length of stay, but if we do, this will be our "Oly home".

Owner's Response: We are so pleased that our home could facilitate such a special family celebration opportunity. Given the unique setting and comfort of our home, we feel it is important to share our little slice of heaven with others. We are always happy to set the stage for memories in the making. And, we truly appreciate such gracious guests as were your family.

Come back and visit any time!
