About this property

Waterfront Beach Cottage Retreat

Get away from it all and relax at our beach house that has been in the family for over 90 years! 100 feet of low-bank waterfront north of Suquamish near the entrance to Miller Bay.

Unbelievable views of Puget Sound from this secluded private retreat. Perfect for beach combing (up to 250 yards exposed at low tide), wildlife viewing (bald eagles and dozens of blue herons are regulars), or just relaxing in the hot tub.

With vaulted ceilings and large windows with expansive views, this cozy cabin has character at every corner and feels much bigger than its listed square footage.

Upgrades like heated tile floors in the bathroom and a wonderful wood stove will make sure you have an amazing time even if the northwest weather doesn't cooperate.

***PLEASE NOTE: Due to liability issues we are no longer able to offer our kayaks for use. However, there are rental locations nearby.

Perfect beach getaway!
My family of 4 loved the beach house! Our kids loved the bunk beds. We enjoyed the hot tub in the rain and piling onto the couch with a crackling fire in the fireplace. The kitchen was well appointed, we found everything we needed. We saw eagles and seals on our very 1st morning. It is obvious that this beach house is a beloved family treasure and the owners were delighted to share it with us.

Very peaceful and beautiful location
My DIL's and I had a VERY nice stay at this little retreat. The beach was fantastic and the beds were quite comfortable. ( In fact, I had to get the brand off the pillow so I could buy some for myself.) This was my third (annual) use of the VRBO system. The process is usually quite smooth. I would definitely recommend this place, but I would suggest you be prepared for what it actually costs in the end, together with cleaning fees, deposits, and INSURANCE. As I said, I have done this a number of times before in equivalent properties and this was by far the most expensive even though the nightly rent was similar. We had a little trouble with the lockbox accessing the property but we were able to contact the property owners and they were quite helpful. There is only one parking space for this unit and it is quite tight. I would not recommend coming with a large vehicle. All in all, our stay was awesome and none of us wanted to go home!

Water, Wildlife and Wrestful
I realize I stretched on alliteration but this was a great place to find comfort while exploring all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. We experienced fine dining, great wine, amazing hikes, Poulsboro, and day trips to Seattle and Olympic National Park. And still found time for crossword puzzles, reading, and relaxing. Great location! The owners very easy to communicate with and very accommodating.

We are both born and raised in the Seattle area. We continue to call the Northwest home and love all it has to offer. We enjoy very active lifestyles and can regularly be found cycling, running, hiking, or snowshoeing just to name a few.

Why they chose this property

This property just north of Suquamish has been in the family since the early 1920's. The current cabin was built in 1962, and we've been steadily making improvements while maintaining its original character and charm. Our family has generations of memories here and we love being able to share this special place with family and friends.
