Sobre esta propriedade

Waterfront Cottage, The Captains Cabin is a romantic, remote spot in the PNW.

A quiet romantic waterfront home is the perfectly positioned on Pickering Passage of the Puget Sound. Famed Walkers' Landing looks across the water at Harstene Island, the view is a constant changing drama unfolding on this body of water, named after a naturalist on a Wilkes expedition. Pickering Passage flows past the mouths of Hammersley Inlet, Totten Inlet, and Eld Inlet. It is a nutrient rich area, producing oysters that grow rapidly. Come enjoy the view from the bank of Abbondanza, a property designed by artist Ray Turner, graduate of Stadium HS in Tacoma. Attending college in Washington. Oregon and California, undergraduate for four years. The next four years at Art Center College of design where he taught after graduation for many years. Enjoy the view from 34 windows and doors in the Captain's Cabin a cedar sided exterior, wrapped in pine from floor to ceiling inside. The 1950's table and chairs in the breakfast nook, boast a great view, with a fully equipped Kitchen, with retro style appliances, to compliment the beautiful barn lights, antique fixtures, and chandeliers. All the lights are on dimmers setting a romantic interior when the sun goes down. The outdoor lighting sets a mood as well as guides you to the fire pit or railing to sit under the stars and look at the sound. The bedding is all cotton, with a goose down comforter and cotton quilts. The pillows are high quality goose down. There are decks off the kitchen and master bedroom, to enjoy the sunrise, sunset and all the wonders the passage has to offer. The natural stone staircase and gravel paths will take you to the wooden railed staircase access to the beach, where you can kayak, windsurf, paddle board, fish, whatever you like to do on the water. After your water sports, or walk along the gravel beach, go up take a hot outdoor shower, soak in the claw foot tub, take a sauna, or do all three. Abbondanza is difficult to describe, it has bountiful sea life, always common to see any number of birds, including bald eagles. It is quiet, peaceful, and has an effect on you that will make you wish you could stay longer, wanting more. The sauna is a favorite building where you can enjoy a warm eucalyptus infused relaxing space. Then take a hot outdoor shower overlooking the Sound. Rock away an hour on the master deck in teak rocking chairs with your favorite evening drink. Welcome!

50th Wedding Anniversary

We wanted to find a very special place, on the water, near the place we married 50 years ago. The cabin was beyond perfect. It was hosted and curated by an artist, clean, quiet, comfortable, well equipped, full of special touches, and gorgeous. Ray was a gracious and communicative host. When my daughter and son arranged time to join us for our celebration, Ray helped us find equally lovely cabins for them within walking distance. We could have spent our entire stay in the rockers on the porch, overlooking the water and catching glimpses of orcas, but there were other fun things to do: the sauna, kayaking, walks down the path to the beach below, the fire circle and picnics at the outside table. We hope to return often.

An Amazing Retreat

We have been using VRBO and similar apps for some time for getaways, but our experience here was by far the best we've had. Ray is a wonderful host and is so helpful with details that make a great trip even better. We treated ourselves to a week, and could immediately feel ourselves relax. The cabin and grounds are designed with thought and care. Beauty everywhere, from the sound below the cabin to wildflowers and wildlife (we saw pods of orcas, deer, herons, eagles and more). Amazing art just adds to the experience. We most certainly will return!

Wonderful place, Beautiful views!!

I highly recommend this rental. It is quiet with breathtaking views of the Puget Sound. If you’re as lucky as me, you may see a pod of Orcas swim through. Kitchen is stocked with any tool you may need. Just stop at the grocery store and you’re all set. There is a breakfast nook off the sleeping area. Fabulous for a sunrise cup of Coffee.

Great place to get away!

We had an lovely time at this property. The house is clean and comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked, and the views are picturesque. We especially loved having coffee on the porch, kayaking in the bay, and the outdoor shower. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy the simpler pleasures in life. Ray is an amazing host. He is responsive, thoughtful, and made sure we had everything we needed and so much more. If you want to escape, this is the place for you!

Honeymoon Dream

o wow, we loved this place! Ray was such a lovely person to communicate/ and he set up this spot so well. You can tell it is well loved and used as it feels so homey. We could've just stayed at the property the whole time, enjoying everything about it! Very lovely neighbors that offered us freshly harvested oysters. A wonder haven of the world.

Puget Perfection! Abundance, indeed..

5 stars is simply not sufficient. We have stayed in many VRBO/ Home Away/ Air B&B’s- but this place: MAGICAL. If you want to truly escape, book without haste! My instinct is to downplay the serenity, because I am a selfish human who hopes this gem will always be available to us when we need an escape. I’m so thankful Ray and Sally are not like-minded! They graciously (and I do mean that - lovely people - with generous hearts and spirits across the board) open their sanctuary to the scrutiny of the world- one party at a time, (in my opinion) to promote the feeling of extended community and peace. This is a healing place. Ray’s artist’s eye is apparent everywhere- from the lovely landscape lighting that comes on at dusk (making evening trips to the sauna and shower much easier!) to his own original works peppered throughout. Coming from the Midwest we were a bit concerned about safety and ‘West Coast’ hostility. Don’t believe the narrative being pushed in the media, my friends! We did not meet one person that wasn’t welcoming and lovely in this little community. This is not the city- or a high rise hotel with room service. This is ‘abundance’. And you will feel that across the board as you explore the grounds. The bedding is exceptional- like sleeping in a cocoon of clouds. The sauna is restorative- and it’s easy to let your imagination wander as you relax inside.. We used it daily. The kayaking was a hoot for we ‘landlubbers’ as well- (adventures abound!) A neighbor (and new friend) pulled oysters from the sound, gave us a ‘shucking 101’ class, and even brought by a homemade sauce his wife makes that they enjoy. I could literally wax poetic for pages- but- I will close by tempting you a bit further: there are so many more enchanting surprises that await to delight as you step into the realm that is Abbondanza. You will not regret this stay, I assure you. It really was one of the best times we’ve had in a long time! Thank you, again- to the gracious hosts and neighbors who made this such a special time. We do hope our paths cross again soon!

Perfect spot to really relax

The view from Captains Cabin is stunning and given the windows in the cabin, the view is constantly in front of you. The cabin is brilliantly designed and well-outfitted. We did a lot of cooking and found everything we needed. The sauna and outdoor shower were a treat. And I can't forget to mention how thoughtful Ray was and how easy he was to deal with. We will definitely be back.

Magical One of a Kind Property

Our family flew up to Washington to celebrate a birthday, and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to stay! Once we arrived at the gated entrance, we drove onto the property and up the driveway to a beautiful, picturesque scene of the Puget Sound. Located on the Pickering Passage, with a view of Harstine Island across the way, the property itself is gorgeous. You can tell the landscaping was well thought out with all different kinds of species of plants and trees, as well as beautiful, natural stone paths and steps. The three structures – the captain’s cabin, the church, and the firehouse – are all unique and striking in their own way. Having the three separate places to stay was nice for us, being that there were three couples staying on the property. The captain’s cabin has a stunning view of the water. We loved waking up to that incredible view and sitting on the porch in the rocking chairs, taking it all in with our morning coffee. The church was very cool, as it looks like a chapel with the high pitch ceiling and cupula, and the exquisite stained-glass windows. It has a spacious bathroom with a sliding door and massive claw foot tub. Right outside the bathroom is a sauna which was an awesome bonus! The firehouse is the first property you see when entering the driveway, it was actually an old firehouse that was converted into a wonderful living space. The first thing we noticed was the big stone fireplace which made the room so cozy and warm. It has a full kitchen and bathroom as well (like the captain’s cabin). The back doors open to a private deck and garden with a fenced arbor. While each of the cabins are special in their own way – they all have incredibly high-quality linens, and everything else you can imagine for a comfortable stay, along with unbelievably beautiful art. All of the rooms are curated with so much thought and talent. The nature surrounding the property made our stay extra special, we were lucky enough to even see a pod of orcas swim by! There are kayaks provided down on the beach, so getting to go kayaking was one of our favorite parts of the trip. We loved grilling on the Weber grill and enjoying the firepit on the property – we barely had to leave since it had every amenity we could have wished for. The weekend flew by and we didn’t want to leave the tranquility and magic of this property. Ray has created such a special atmosphere at Abbondanza, and we can’t wait for our next trip here.

Relaxing Nature Get-a-way

The Orchard Beach Captain’s Cabin in Grapeview, Washington was off-the-charts relaxing and rejuvenating nature experience. The location on the Pickering passage; the unique, clean, well stocked, quiet and very comfortable cabin; and the very gracious and accommodating host (Ray) make this VRBO a rare and an exceptional vacation destination in the Olympic peninsula. Our two day stay at the Captain’s Cabin allowed us an opportunity to experience a beautiful sunny day for kayaking and calm peaceful drizzly day for relaxing. Rain or shine this spot on the Pickering Sound is amazing. Ray is a super friendly and welcoming host. I recommend staying at his Captain’s Cabin if you find yourself in the Grapeview, Washington area.

Fabulous house, less fabulous rental process

The house is esthetically off the charts with a comfortable, artistic blend of retro cabin, contemporary gallery & personal library vibe. However, the owners really don't get how the rental home business works. There was a communication lag of nearly a week after my first message to them. I finally just booked thinking I guess I'll see if this is really for rent or not. (He couldn't get messages because he was working on the property - where we later successfully received phone calls, texts & emails so???) Then he called at a really inconvenient time and verbally rattled off all the essential info. It needs to be in writing. This info doesn't appear for reference in his listing, is not laid out in any email AND there is no "welcome" packet, booklet or single sheet of paper with critical info in the cabin. I can't remember ever arriving to no written information. There was not even the local property manager's name & phone. The one in VRBO listing is not the current one! Once there I left a voice message for him as there was no hot water for the bath in "the church". The huge bathtub was a major reason I rented this property. I didn't hear back until we had already left 3 days later. Anyway beautiful house, grounds & setting - complete knockout. But truly the most disorganized, missing in action rental process ever.

Yes Please!

This cabin and it's perks were amazing! Just bring food and no dishes or spices needed. All details have been thought of. Even the soap was handmade and luxurious. They had kayaks and an beautiful sauna all at no extre charge. The view is something hard to describe. You are one with nature as you watch the fish jump and feel the calm sounds of nature in the morning. It's hard to describe and so comforting. This was a place to just be with someone you love.

Great Getaway with a couple of surprises

First of all this is one of the most beautiful properties I have ever stayed in! The home itself and its decor a well appointed amenities were second to none. We had great communication with the property manager and found everything to be as advertised. I would say that there was one small hiccup on our last evening there, when we realized that our private oasis was not in fact private as there are other living facilities on the property that were in use, making the property shared not private. Upon an outdoor shower I walked out to see people wandering through the yard, which was embarrassing and alarming. I would just check upon renting if you will be alone or not, as one of the best features of the house is the fact that the front of it is made of glass giving you 24/7 access to the beautiful views, but when shared you may want to have those shades pulled. Overall I would still give this property a 5/5 review and say that we would even be tempted to return in the future.

Beautiful escape

We live in the city so this was a fantastic get away that was everything we wanted/needed and more. Amazing view of the sound on the balcony, where we spent a lot of time. I even proposed to my now fiance during a sunset one of the nights, the setting was a perfect back drop. Communication was really good with owners (thanks for the quick responses). On the last day we used the kayaks which was also alot of fun as well. Thanks Sarah and Ray for a unforgettable and much needed get away.

Unbelievable... nothing else can describe this amazing vacation rental

We new we found a good little cabin to stay in for a 4 night stay, but the amazing setting and attention to detail of this cabin really make it stand out as a MUST stay rental for anyone looking to stay on the Olympic Peninsula. We wanted something to unwind, so intentionally looked for something away from busier vacation destinations, which means you are going to be a few hours away from action, but the quiet and peaceful setting of this wonderful little modern cabin really makes up for that. We want to come back, and we're going to tell all our friends they should book a weekend here!

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Ray Turner

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião
I'm an artist, living in Los Angeles County, Pasadena. I graduated from Stadium H.S. in Tacoma where I first fell in love the the Pacific Northwest. I moved to Pasadena after my first four years of college, to attend Art Center College of Design for the next four. After graduating from Art Center, I taught there for several years until I took a leave of absence to paint full time. I've been painting full time now for twenty some years. I love the Pacific North West, and always wanted a place on the Puget Sound since I was a boy. I purchased these properties as an art project of sorts. The location and attributes were awe inspiring for me, so I decided to build a small compound where one could sit and watch a fire, the water, the trees blowing in the wind whatever came into view. It is a peaceful, quiet place, that has the magic of the Pickering Passage, changing constantly. I can't over bill it, it is a remarkable place. The charm of the little cottages or cabins, are a comfortable addition to the natural beauty of the trees, plants, view of the water, and Harstene Island. The work we did on the interiors and exteriors are uniquely comforting. The bedding and the furnishings are high quality natural fabrics that I personally love. You won't want to get out of the beds, they are as comfortable as can be. It is my good pleasure to share Abbondanza with you. Please come be our guests when you can.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

I bought and developed this because of the location and it's inherent beauty. It doesn't have a shopping center near by, nor a place to walk to a restaurant. Those accommodations are an easy drive, but what this place is, is quiet, peaceful, and remote. There are a small group of homes at the end of a road, with one way in and out. The trees are tall and old, I've also added many ornamental ones, and too many flowers and plants to count. Jasmine, clematis, and hydrangea, is climbing on all the structures, with hundreds of different flowers, that will be blooming from spring through the fall. The stars are brilliant on a clear night. I have said many times that it is magical, there have been many guests describe it the same way as well. If you're looking for peace and quiet, surrounded by trees on the puget sound with all of its wonder, this will become one of your favorite memories and places to stay.

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

There is a cabin with a full bathroom that can be rented with the Captain's Cabin. The Church has a lovely view of the water as well. Also wrapped in pine, wide plank floors and a six foot clawfoot tub and shower. Inquire about The Church which sleeps two adults. The outdoor shower was a surprise in that I wanted to have one for convenience when coming up from the beach. I like it so much that I use it in the rain, and snow, as well. The Sauna is also a pleasant, very healthful, during and afterward, you are without a doubt, relaxed and ready for a long nap. A couple drops of eucalyptus oil in the water bucket, a spoon on the hot rocks will send up a warm, wonderful scented steam that will set your olfactory into deja vu, never to be forgotten.
