RARE FIND! Waterfront Beach House walking distance to shops and ferry.

Come to beautiful Bainbridge Island and enjoy the spectacular waterfront location of The Beach House on Bainbridge. With stunning views and an easy walk to town, this family friendly beach home offers something for everyone. Perfectly situated, you are a 10-minute walk from the iconic Washington State Ferries and picturesque downtown Winslow. Comfortably sleeping 8, this wonderful, casual home is ideal for a long weekend getaway or a memorable family vacation.
A quick walk from your front door takes you to the best dining and shopping that Bainbridge Island has to offer. Stroll down picturesque Winslow Way and you will find something for every member of your family. Enjoy brunch at the quaint Streamliner Diner and then head off to explore the beautiful Winslow Waterfront Park. Walk through the history of the island at the Bainbridge Historical Museum and then shop the seasonal Farmers Market for great local produce and crafts. Head down to Doc’s Marina Grill for a shore-side lunch and enjoy the views.
The spectacular south-eastern exposure provides stunning views of Mount Rainier and the arriving ferries. Just steps from the backyard, access the public beach bordering Eagle Harbor. Paddle the calm waters of the coved inlet in provided kayaks or paddle boards. Wade in the tide-pools or enjoy the nature boardwalk through wetlands of Hawley Cove just a few minutes' walk down the beach. Enjoy coffee from the lower deck while watching the seals and herons in the bay. Evenings spent enjoying the waterfront fire-pit will bring a lifetime of amazing memories.
At the end of the day, retreat inside and drift off to sleep with the sound of the waves as your background music. Upper floor of the house has a primary bedroom suite with ¾ bath, queen size bed TV (cable) and private access to the second-floor deck. Also upstairs is a private bedroom with a double bed and Smart TV (DVD player attached, Roku, Hulu ready). Down the hall is a dorm-style room with three double beds. A family-friendly full bath accommodates the upstairs bedrooms.
The main floor has a convenient ensuite bedroom with a queen bed that includes an ADA compliant shower. Each bedroom has ample space for clothes storage.
Across the front of the house is a spacious living room with floor-to-ceiling windows that highlight the views of Mt Rainier and Puget Sound and includes a wood-burning fireplace and plenty of comfortable seating. A separate family room includes TV and ample seating. A variety of games and puzzles are provided, and Wi-Fi is available throughout the house.
The large kitchen is outfitted with everything you need to prepare meals for all your guests including two ovens and a breakfast bar that seats 5. Just off the kitchen is a separate, butcher-block pantry for baking and food storage. An outside gas barbecue is available for your use.
The generously sized dining room has unobstructed views of Puget Sound and includes a dining table that seats 10, allowing your family and friends to enjoy meals together. When weather permits, there are two full sized picnic tables down at the water’s edge for outdoor dining. A large fire-pit completes this wonderful, waterfront yard.

Our experience was 5 stars! I would definitely rent this property again. The views, location and amenities were exactly as advertised. The only unexpected features was the 5 minute walk from the ferry as it was closer to 10 minutes and included a couple of gradual hills that might impact older or out of shape guests. (Like me!) We found both Uber and Lyft drivers were able to accommodate any pick up and drop offs so a rental car is not needed.

We had a great time celebrating Mother’s Day’s at this amazing home! It was very clean and comfortable. We loved sitting outside with the fantastic view and especially enjoyed making a fire in the pit and watching the ferry at night (the fire “kit” with wood, paper and starter was a nice surprise!). We hope to return for a future celebration!

Location was great. Walking distance to ferry, stores and restaurants in town. Surprisingly quite location, even when so close to town. The house definitely felt (in good way) it was somebody's vacation home. It had everything you need for a big family of all ages. We were two couples in our late 60's and at first a little surprised by the rustic makeup of the home. But quickly learned to love it. It was truly a beach front cabin - not a high-end house that you couldn't wear shoes or were scared to play and hurt something. This home was built for families, big families, to have fun and gather around the 12-person table or talk at the multiple inside and outside sitting areas. Pamphlet in the house states this has been the family's vacation home since 1958. It shows...again, in a very positive way. This house was like a good friend who said, "Hey, our cabin is empty this week. You want to take your family there?" We would definitely go there again - except we'd take the kids and grandkids and let them have fun.

We have stayed at this location twice now. The property is amazing with easy access to downtown and ferries (my young kids could even walk from the house!). We all had a great time watching the ferries come in and out and watching seals swim all while having a bon fire down by the beach. The house has everything you need and makes vacationing easy and simple. We stayed during a hot week, the house does not have air conditioning but it was no problem after opening windows at night and letting the sea breeze cool the house. There are also lots of fans available in the house. We are going to make this a yearly tradition for our family.
