Only 60 miles North of Seattle and no ferry. 'The shortest distance to far away!'

Relax and enjoy this beautifully furnished, private, vacation home with no-bank access to the beach. Awesome unobstructed Southern views of Port Susan Bay and be delighted to see Mount Rainier. Bring binoculars and cameras to enjoy a constant variety of wildlife activity. At high tide, there is water to the North as well as the water to the South. It is almost like being on a ship! We have provided a 20' ramp from the bulkhead over the driftwood for easy access to the sandy beach. The ramp will be removed early Oct.

In the cooler weather, cuddle up in front of the Quadra Fire wood stove and enjoy winter storms. Wood for the fireplace is provided. Please be sure to read Guest Comments.

One guest said it is a birdwatchers paradise and they identified over 27 different birds including eagles. The private beach is ideally suited for walking, swimming, fishing, crabbing, and launching kayaks or canoes. There is a public boat launch near by.

Very quiet neighborhood. Enclosed gravel backyard was great for the dogs. Easy to take long walks on the beach and felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves. House was clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely come here again.

My sister, 2 large dogs and I recently stayed three nights here. It is a great place if you want to enjoy the beach and relax. There is absolutely no traffic on this road. The house is dated, but had everything we could possibly need for our stay. We actually used the kitchen to bake fresh cod and halibut which we never do when we are on vacation. There is a front deck to barbecue or enjoy the view. The beach was great for walking with the dogs or just letting them play and burn off energy. The back and side yards are fenced but not high enough to leave large breed dogs alone (especially if they are prey driven with all the rabbits around), but they were perfect for us to take the dogs out first thing in the morning. It was a quick drive to the local grocery and hardware store for any items we needed. The neighbors were welcoming and friendly. Suzanne and Dennis were very helpful and responsive if we had any questions.

This was the first time I brought my dogs to stay away from home and it was a test to see how they would do. Once they settled down in the new environment, they simply loved playing on the beach and exploring the driftwood.

Master bedroom bed is very comfortable; most comfortable furniture in the living room are the dining room chairs, but that might be because we both have back/leg issues. Taking the garbage/reycle to the dump was not an issue, plus everyone we met on the island was so nice and helpful.

quaint cottage- perfect for small family getaway

My husband, 2 young kids, dog and I recently stayed at this property for two nights. We felt a million miles away from the city, even though Seattle is less than an hour and a half a way. The cottage is small but very cozy, and the kitchen is very well supplied with all the utensils, serving dishes and cookware you could possibly need during your visit. The cottage decor is somewhat dated, but we found that to be part of its charm, it was very comfortable and helped us feel relaxed and disconnected. The driftwood beach, walks out to the tidepools during low tide, fire roasted marshmallows and the friendly neighbors all made for a very relaxing stay. The property contact/owner/manager was very hands on and available to let us know what to expect, answer any questions, and to resolve any issues (which we did not have). There were no surprises.

We would stay here again.

Thank you

Great house, amazing location!

Four women writers shared this lovely and well equipped home for 4 days. We wrote, we talked, we read, we rested, we explored and we cooked meals together. Such a well stocked kitchen!! We will be back for sure!

Very pleasantly surprised to find this cozy property was on a dead end private road, fronting the Bay. The road in has speedbumps, so between that and the private drive-- we had no car noise or zooming vehicles. There is a nice gravel parking area across the street from the property, where a sturdy ramp was set-up for traversing the driftwood and getting right to the beach. Made it perfect for unloading my kayak and taking it the 50' or so, to the sand. There is ample parking right at the property, so it's optional to use the gravel area.

The home has nice trex decking out front and down both sides, with gates for keeping your canine buddy well protected, with his run of the entire backyard--which was perfect. Nice deck furniture, and large BBQ--which we used for a Mothers Day intimate dinner.

The views are to die for. The front of the home has 6 large windows--which look across the deck and the parking area, and straight onto the water. We could see Mt. Rainier to the right, and another mountain to the left. Bald eagles flew by, and we had a constant chorus of song and other birds/foul--including doves, redwing blackbirds, sparrows, kildeers, robins, etc. The back view from the bedrooms looks out onto another arm of the bay--where it was common to see 8 cranes at a time walking in the shallows. A great breeze comes in the bedroom windows at night--and the view is totally unobstructed.

The home was comfortable, with a nice couch, recliner, and a couple easy chairs. Good appliances, and washer & dryer. Well stocked with towels and paper goods, and light bulbs that were actually bright enough to see! (my pet peeve)--including 3-ways in the master bedroom lamps. Great wifi, basic cable, and flatscreen TV. We streamed a movie from my Mac, as the wifi had plenty of bandwidth. TV has an HDMI port right on the edge, so it was a snap to hook-up.

Good beds, and nice to have a King, since my wife and I are tall and need some elbow room.

We enjoyed the quiet and views, and the neighbors were great at night. Any anxiety we brought with us drifted away after our first night, ha. The tides change often, so I was pleasantly surprised when a high tide brought the water to within 8' of my kayak. Only downsides: 1 papa-san chair will put you down to the floor leaning back, 2- hauling your garbage out. The dump location and drill once there was a little bit of a hassle. Other than that, we truly scored finding this peaceful respite.
