Location: Grapeview, Puget Sound, Washington State, USA (On Case Inlet in Grapeview)
Accommodations: Beach House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-8)
"The Beach House of Grapeview" sits on half acre with 100 feet of no-bank waterfront. The home is nestled on Case inlet, next to Treasure Island and Stretch Island in Grapeview, Washington. The drive from the Seattle metropolitan area is wonderful, but boating in is SPECTACULAR! If arriving by boat, visitors will enjoy some of the most pristine natural surroundings found anywhere on the waters of Puget Sound. Just around the point is Fair Harbor Marina, one of the nicest marinas on Puget Sound.
The beach is accessible from the lawn via a stairway in the bulkhead. The beach in front of the property is owned by the Mazanti’s and guests are welcome to dig clams and collect a few oysters for dinner. At low tide it is interesting to explore the entire area by foot as residents don’t mind people walking on adjacent property as long as they are only sightseeing. There is a large Geoduck farm in front of the property that can be viewed at low tide as this is one of the few places in the world that these large clams are grown commercially.
The home is 1800 square feet and newly remodeled; "The Beach" features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, great room, family room loft with sitting areas, two-story woodburning stone fireplace, two TVs with DVD/VCR, stereo system, modern kitchen, full laundry facility, two queen-size sleeper sofas, and views from every room of the water. The home is set-up to sleep eight people in beds and has dining and gathering facilities for large groups.
Outside you will find a 1000 square foot deck area with beautiful lawn surrounding the home. There is a firepit overlooking the water with Adirondack chairs to relax and enjoy the solitude. The Bar-b-que is set-up on deck and there is plenty of wood for indoor or outdoor fires. After a swim or a day of diving, enjoy an outdoor shower.
Points of Interest in the area:
Next door is located the only active winery in Grapeview. It was started up about three years ago and is in the process of becoming a local attraction with tours and sampling in the future. Across on Stretch Island is located the Maritime museum operated by Bill Somers who is one of the original residents of the area. The museum is open on weekends or by appointments and has many artifacts loaned to the Seattle Museum of History and Industry. It is also the original location of the Isle Belle Winery which dates back 75 years.
A walk or bike is the best way to explore Grapeview. The Fair Harbor Marina has a store open in season and has a wonderful barista on duty. There are two nearby islands to explore, Stretch and Treasure. Allyn offers everything from kayak trips to chainsaw wood carving artists and boasts one of the best 27 hole golf courses in the area located on the hill above in LakeLand Village.
The water is by far the reason to come to the beach. The property has a 270 degree view of Case Inlet and is a great jumping off point for boat exploration during the day. Whether you have a kayak or a powerboat, there are a number of Washington State Parks and secured waterways to explore. Lunch in Olympia by boat, watching the eagles from the deck, clams for dinner, or just hanging out. There is everything at The Beach for the perfect vacation.
