Sandy Beach Front Cottage with great Sunsets

Rare Puget Sound Cottage directly on the water with a large sandy beach! Spectacular sunsets and great marine wildlife... Orca, Humpback, and Pilot whales. Seals, Salmon, Crabs, Clams, Sand Dollars, Eagles and Seagulls. One of a kind oasis in the Pacific NorthWest.

Great spot for a romantic peaceful getaway. Snuggle up on the deck with a glass of wine and a good book while enjoying spectacular views. Or go for a beach walk on our private secluded sandy beach.

Our kids grew up on weekends here, so it is also a great spot for a family vacation. We have lots of beach toys and nothing like planting a chair in the sand while your kids run around. We can comfortably hold two families of four (8 people total) if you have the kids stay in the loft. We have had 4 adults and 6 kids for long weekends, it only gets tight in bad weather and everyone is inside.

* Note that the map location says Harstine Island, but if you look closely at the location, we are NOT on Harstine or any other island.

Amazing, something for everyone in our family (4 adults, 4 teens, and a preteen) Magical sunsets, amazing wildlife experiences. Unexpected yet amazing mattress in a pull out couch, that has an air mattress topper for amazing comfort and the best view. Came during the Summer, but want to come back for storm season in the Winter now

Beach Getaway

The beach views from the deck and the access to soft sand to play on are absolutely awesome. We made so many memories. We did several beach walks and all the neighbors were so friendly. The kids made a fort out of drift wood (just crazy boards leaning against a big log). They gathered different colored rocks and pretended they were paint...it was adorable.The only issue I had was with the comfort level of the Master bed. An easily solved problem.The kitchen was well equipped and easy to use.

Lovely bay view and sand beach.

Two weeks at this nice property. Even with the rain we had it was snug. Enough beautiful days to feel how lovely this area is. Close enough to Key Center for groceries, hreat Mexican restaurant in Home, nice beach state park at Joemma park. Very nice stay.

Perfect spot on the water

Lovely home in a great location. Everything you could need or want is available for your use. Beds were very comfortable and it was very quiet. Sadly the weather was cool but we used the provided throw blankets and spent a lot of time on the deck listening to the lapping of the waves. This place has the feel of a beloved summer cottage that helps you feel right at home.

This property is even more beautiful in-person. The beach is pristine and provided endless fun for kids and adults. The owners are quite generous with what they keep stocked and amenities they offer. If you can’t find a way to enjoy yourself here, there’s no hope for you.

Gorgeous view

We brought our 3 grandsons to this lovely secluded home right on the water for 3 day. Lots of things to do both inside and out . The deck is a great place to relax and watch the kids play. All kinds of games and beach toys are readily available along with plenty of towels and blankets. The only drawback was the lack of a screen door to the deck as we had way too many flies in the House. I would recommend this place happily to anyone.

Great getaway right on the water

The house was wonderful for our family getaway - everyone loved being right on the beach! We saw sea lions, eagles, sand dollars, geese, deer, and cranes, all while hanging out on the property. The kitchen was well stocked for all of our needs and we had plenty of sleeping areas for our party of 7. The house was clean and clear instructions were left to help answer all of our questions.

Our stay was above and beyond our wildest dreams. What an amazing spot with wonderful amenities. Secluded area,safe, immaculate and quiet. We loved the beach and deck. The windows all along the front are amazing to view ocean and watch sunset inside or outside. What a treat to stay in this amazing beach cottage. We could feel the loving touches of the family that own it. It was a divine vacation / graduation family celebration!
