This 5 bedroom 2.5 bath 2100 sq ft retreat is a true slice of paradise with huge picture windows overlooking the water from the living room, dining room and kitchen! Relax on the large, benched deck overlooking the Puget Sound, explore the sound on the kayaks , or take a walk on the beach. There are several bald eagles that live in the trees nearby, and you will often see them soaring above the water in search of their next meal. Seals are also a frequent sight just in front of the home in search of fish. Canadian Honkers can be heard as well, announcing their presence. We are fortunate to experience both high and low tides, which provides for exploring the best of both worlds! Low tide provides the opportunity to explore the incredible sea life up close and personal. Star fish, sand dollars, crab and more. License is required for the gathering of any clams or oysters, and limits apply. We want to preserve the integrity of the beach, and please gather responsibly. Leave oyster shells and fill in clam holes. High tide allows for easy launching of the kayaks and you are off to explore! We have provided life jackets for guest use, please use them when out on the water. You are close enough to stores and dining that you can choose to go out for food, or bring food back and cook in the well appointed kitchen. A gas BBQ is available as well, under the covered entry way, and provides for cooking out rain or shine. This home will easily accommodate a group and is a comfortable space with a lot to offer. We are firm on the request for no parties however. We ask that you respect our home. Washer and dryer, air conditioning, granite counter tops in the bathrooms and kitchen and several items that will make your stay comfortable and relaxing! There are 3 bedrooms on the main floor with queen sized beds, a powder room and a full bath. The upstairs has 2 bedrooms. The upstairs master has a King sized bed with an en suite bathroom, soaking tub, double vanity and double headed shower. The Master is also equipped with a flat screen TV and a DVD player. Its 3 sets of windows offer views as well as the opportunity to leave them open and fall asleep to the sound of water lapping on the shores of the sound. The second room upstairs is equipped with 2 sets of bunk beds, and there is also a loft area between the rooms with a futon style couch, TV and an X-Box 360. The main floor with the open concept provides for conversation and interaction while in the living room, dining room or kitchen. The living room is equipped with a TV, DVD player and stereo system for your enjoyment. For the sports enthusiast, the owners have also provided the digital sports package with the cable plan, so you won't miss the game! In the entertainment center, you will find rows of DVD movies for all ages and genres. Personally, we enjoy layering blankets on the floor for the kids and having movie parties after the sun sets and water activities have wrapped up for the day. Our goal is for you to enjoy your time here, fall in love with the space, and return every time you need to get away! Thank you for considering our home!
