Phenomenal Sunsets, Wild Orca & Private Beach

Enjoy phenomenal sunsets and wild orcas splashing in the bay, as you relish relaxing in the cabana, looking out over the water and letting go of all your cares. It just doesn’t get much better than this.

ABOUT CAPTAIN'S RETREAT

Located on the tips of Hammersley Inlet and Oakland Bay, Captain's Retreat is the perfect vacation spot, whether you prefer to relax or head out for adventures. Enjoy magnificent water views from the living room, the enclosed patio or the private beach cabana.

In the living room, you'll find comfortable couches and chairs, great for curling up with that book you've been looking forward to, as well as a wood fireplace to warm you and your companions up when the evenings are cool. If you're inclined, play a favorite movie on the flat screen television to round out your day.

Not only is there an enclosed patio with its own propane fire pit and water views, you'll also delight in the cabana nestled nearly on top of the water, with a propane barbeque and all ready for al fresco dining. And, down the stairs, closer the water, is another fire pit where you can end your evenings under the stars.
