Welcome to Shore Lane Beach House - your water front retreat!
Less than 2 hours from Seattle right on Puget Sound's Oakland Bay near Shelton, Washington. Experience waterfront living at its best. Enjoy the WHOLE HOUSE RENOVATION.
ABOUT SHORE LANE BEACH HOUSE ~~
Escape to the beautifully decorated water front retreat. Shore Lane Beach House offers three bedrooms, one and 3/4 bathrooms on three levels totaling 1400 square feet. All rooms (except for one bedroom) have superb views of the water. Stay in touch if needed utilizing our high speed WiFi connection.
It is a great set up for adults and kids. Send the kids to the downstairs living area to play games or watch TV in the evenings while you enjoy the view and conversation on the main floor. Kids can sleep in the bunk room with their choice of upper bunk, lower bunk, or trundle.
On the main floor, step outside the French doors onto the covered deck right off the dining and living areas. Enjoy the water view while you prepare meals in the fully equipped kitchen featuring maple cabinets, oil rubbed bronze hardware, and granite countertops with slate backsplash.
Laundry area and brand new 3/4 bath with shower and 4 ft granite top vanity are on the main floor as well.
Later retreat to either of two upstairs bedrooms. Pick the waterside room with the king bed, cable TV and balcony overlooking the bay, or relax on the queen size bed in the tastefully appointed blue room.
You'll find a full bath with a bathtub/shower, tile tub surround and granite counter vanity on the third floor as well.
ABOUT THE WATER ~~
Shore Lane Beach House is located on the east side of Oakland Bay (which is just south of Hood Canal). Look across the water and see the city of Shelton - the lights are beautiful at night. Saunter down a few stairs to the beach which is great fun to beach comb any time of year. You'll see playful seals frolicking and salmon jumping in the water. At high tide, you can catch fish off the lower deck or simply cast from shore and reel them in! The water is surprisingly warm in summer. You can swim, or just sit with feet in the water, face in the sun for a truly Northwest Puget Sound experience. In winter it is just beautiful. You can even kayak on the calm waters of Oakland Bay. North Bay Kayak in Allyn will deliver!
THINGS TO DO ~~
Shelton and the surrounding areas offer plenty to do for everyone. The covered deck is the perfect spot to enjoy the winter waters - just bundle up if it's chilly. Or build a campfire right in the back yard and take in the view. Take a walk up the beach for an hour and you won't see any houses, just the wonders of nature. Experience fishing, wildlife viewing, or visit the Olympic National Rainforest Park.
Perhaps you'd like to catch a flick at the drive-in movie theater, try your luck at the Little Creek Casino, take the family out to eat, or enjoy Kneeland Park with its gigantic playground, grassy areas and beautiful picnic shelter.
Now, if GOLF is your game, you will not be disappointed. Truly test your skill at the prestigious Alderbrook, Gold Mountain, or Trophy Lake golf courses, all 20 to 35 miles from Shore Lane Beach House.
Don't miss the beautiful heated private community pool. It is open all summer and is free for guests of Shore Lane Beach House to use. It's just 2/3 mile away!
We are certain you will have a relaxing vacation and will want to return soon to Shore Lane Beach House!

What makes this house unique
What we enjoy most is the view from almost every place in the house and the beach. Between our two families, our kids range in age from 7 to adult and everyone has something fun to do there. Cable TV and WiFi keeps you connected, while the beach provides hours of fun exploring, wading, gathering clams and oysters, or our kids' favorite activity - throwing rocks in the Sound. Of course, the nearby heated swimming pool is a HUGE hit in the summer. We love that the house is remodeled completely and decorated nicely too - you really feel like you're on vacation, with all the amenities of home. Come experience the peacefulness of Shore Lane Beach House - you'll love it!

Great house - Not the best location
The house was as advertised. Plenty of space.
Our family (4 kids between 3-11) had some bad timing. A burn ban kept us from using the fire pit. Poor air quality kept us from using the pool. The pool closed for our entire trip and my kids were in tears. We picked this house due to the pool. Of note, the pool is more like a public pool. The VRBO doesn't mention the dollar per person charge - but the rental contract did. The Rental contract didn't mention the ant problem in the house. But after we paid, the welcome message instructed us to clean up after ourselves to help with the ants. Most of the ones we saw were in the bathrooms. Speaking of bugs, my kids counted 12 large brown spiders (with webs) on the porch by the front door. My wife and I both got spider bites - the kids did not. You'd think the cleaning charge would include a quick web sweep... The back yard was dead grass and weeds (pretty standard for the PNW), but the picture shows green grass. My littlest kids got multiple splinters from the railing on the stairs that led to the beach. They also could not get up or down the last few rock steps that lead to the beach - as I'm sure any person with mobility concerns would. We walked the beach during low tide but didn't make it far. The beach at low tide has thick mud that would overflow into your sandals, and it smelt like low tide. We did take to the water (because the pool was closed). It was pretty gross, but we put on our best smile to help the kids have fun. We paddled our surfboards from the shoreline, hoping to find some clean water further out. Never happened. Dead bugs, bird droppings, and overall yuck went on as far as we could paddle - I guess I should have researched better. It makes sense based on where the house is located. Others: I asked to check in one hour early but was denied due to maid service. On the day of checkout, the maids were parked outside the house at 1030 as we were departing. I called to check out a day early due to the pool closure - no refund offered. It did smell like kitty litter on the bottom floor - I think a separate post observed a similar odor. We use VRBO often. I think families with kids can do better for the $.
Beautiful view
While the view was beautiful, we were very disappointed with the bunk bed location in the basement. The basement had a very funny/musty smell so the kids did not sleep there. In fact, we never went in the basement after the initial walk through due to the smell.
In addition, the pots and pans need to be replaced. They are in really bad shape. And there were ants on the kitchen counter, which is not ideal for wanting to prepare meals.
When we opened the dishwasher there was, again, a very bad/musty smell. I ran the dishwasher without dishes and that seemed to alleviate the odor.
Overall, we would not stay here again.
great girls getaway
quick getaway for our girls. loved the house, just what we needed. Quiet, secluded but close enough to everything.
Beautiful location with spectacular views. Very peaceful, and comfortable.
This was a great place to vacation. It was away from the big city which is one thing we loved. It was close to a lot of trails, sea exploration options, and some very quaint little towns. The owners where very friendly and easy to work with. They answered any questions we had promptly. The house is well kept, clean, decorated nicely, and pretty well stocked with things you might need like kitchen tools, laundry soap, etc.
One thing that was lacking was nearby seafood restaurants (something us inlanders where looking forward to) but I suppose that's what happens when you vacation away from the city.
Wonderful house, even in 97 degree heat!
We spent four nights at the Shore Lane house this July. We LOVED the views - we spent our evenings sitting on the deck, looking out over the bay. Our kids LOVED the community pool (we did, too), and all in all it was perfect for us. We had another family of four with us for two of the four nights and it was still plenty of space to suit our needs.
We plan to return next summer!
Relaxing!!
Beautiful location, right on the sound. Home is very clean and spacious. It was very hot in Shelton so no AC made the home very hot, however there is fans to help relieve the heat. The evenings cooled down, and it was perfect. We will definitely come back again, maybe in fall or spring.
Map
Three prestigious golf courses 20 to 35 miles away, community boat launch 1/4 mile, Little Creek Casino 30 minute drive, drive-in movie theater 30 minute drive, Walter Dacon Winery 30 minute drive, Kneeland Park (huge playground and beautiful covered picnic area) 15 minute drive, community heated swimming pool, playground, and basketball court 2/3 mile. Locals have told us the water out front is the best jet skiing on any body of water in the area.
