This was a wonderful experience. Curtis got back to me very when I had questions. The houseboat was just as described and worked very well for the two of us. Sitting on the top deck each evening was so peaceful after a day of sight seeing. The neighbors were very friendly. We definitely recommend this home and will go back again. Thank you, Curtis, for sharing your floating home with us.

About the host

Hosted by Curtis

Host profile image

I’m someone who appreciates well-designed, thoughtfully kept spaces and the slower rhythm that comes with being on the water. Hosting this houseboat is less about hospitality as a transaction and more about sharing a place that I genuinely enjoy and care for. I tend to attract guests who are curious, respectful, and comfortable with something a little different—and I enjoy hosting people who value experience, calm, and character over excess.

Why they chose this property

The marina has a quiet, close-knit feel that’s increasingly rare. It’s a small community where people know each other, look out for one another, and genuinely enjoy living on the water. There’s a peaceful rhythm here—boats coming and going, sunsets over the inlet, and quiet evenings that feel a world away while still being close to town. It’s a place that rewards slowing down and paying attention.

What makes this property unique

This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience of living on the water. The houseboat offers sweeping views, a cozy interior, and a sense of calm that’s hard to replicate on land. You’re surrounded by water, wildlife, and the gentle movement of the marina, yet still have modern comfort and easy access to Olympia and the surrounding region. It’s especially well-suited for guests who appreciate character, quiet luxury, and a space that feels intentional rather than generic.
