Fabulous Marrowstone Island retreat

Awesome location with lovely view of Killsut Harbor. A very quiet and private location for a relaxing getaway. The house has plenty of supplies and lots of interesting historical items. Whether you plan to explore the surrounding area or just want to get away from it all, this is a charming place to stay. And to top it off, Nancy is a very responsive host!

We had a wonderful time on Marrowstone Island. Kilisut Harbor is a quiet retreat. The house is perfect for a small family and has everything you need to just stay and enjoy the property. We will come back!

The description and pictures do not do justice to this amazing home. It is really a little piece of heaven where you can work, recharge or relax - or a little of all three - your choice. Morning coffee on the deck overlooking the water was best part of my day! The flora and fauna are totally magical and add to the beauty and tranquility. There are so many amenities here, we needed a longer stay to take advantage of them - like clamming and kayaking. The furniture and bedding were all very comfortable and made for wonderful sleeping and relaxing. In about 20 minutes or so you can also be in Port Townsand with many restaurants and shops on the water. This was a perfect weekend getaway for us - wish we could have stayed longer!

Marrowstone Island, a wonderful week in early autumn, 2021.
Marrowstone Island, a wonderful week in early autumn, 2021.
We, my dear friend of 51 years and I, loved our week at your home on Marrowstone Island. It had been nine years since we had a little getaway just the two of us and your awesome abode was a wonderful choice. Your home, inside or outside on the deck, is the quietest place either of us have ever stayed. Having an undeveloped forested island across the water in front of us added hugely to the serenity of the place. We loved watching the water, whether rippling or flat, and the sky with ever changing cloud formations passing by was sort of mesmerizing. We woke up to thick fog one morning and as it disbursed we saw a parade of Canadian geese silently swimming by the house. The evening skies were beautiful. The house was very well supplied with all the basics and much more. The décor was very cool, everywhere one looked there was something interesting to see, very beachy and nautical. It was great to have a fireplace of an evening when it was a little blustery outside. We’d both been to Fort Flagler many years ago but enjoyed checking it out again. It was fun visiting several other beaches on both sides of the island as well. We went into Pt. Townsend for a couple lunches and we had to return to places we hadn’t been to in decades, like Fort Worden. One day we drove to Sequim and had an excellent Thai lunch at Sawadee Restaurant. We had to hit the Ajax Café for our last dinner. We used to go there for special occasions back in the 80s and 90s all the way from West Seattle and we were so glad to see it open. The décor has changed but it still feels right and the food was great. Your home, in its wonderful setting, was good for our souls. And my friend and I had a blast just hanging out together. Thanks so much for sharing your piece of paradise. Jill & Peggy

Quintessential Pacific NW experience
Quintessential Pacific NW experience
The experience of staying in this beautiful home is even more delightful, relaxing and remarkable than the photos and the on-target description portray. We felt like welcome guests as we enjoyed the warmth of family history with this extensive property. Fun to explore the meadow and orchard, as well as the beach----and expansive water views at all times. The loons, the kingfishers, the seals, the sunrises and sunsets. Not easy to leave the wonderful deck for great excursions to the many nearby parks and beaches, Marrowstone Winery in its pretty setting less than a mile away, Finnriver Farm and Cidery and the Chimacum Corner Farmstand ten minutes away, and Port Townsend not much further.

This home is unique in its setting. It is so peaceful, private and relaxing. When the tide came in you could hear the waves lapping at the shore under the old historic boathouse. Owners come from a family of avid sailors and have been a part of Marrowstone for many years. It was a rejuvenating stay, particularly enjoyed the full moon setting across the bay! Owner was very responsive and clearly loves the property.

Second Time Around - Even More Peace and Joy
Second Time Around - Even More Peace and Joy
This was our second stay - we were here two years ago and couldn't wait to come back last year but COVID got in the way. We were delighted to return this week with the same friends and recreate the wonderful memories. This time was even more magical - the house is incredibly comfortable and just feels like home, only better. The view is breathtaking. We felt so fortunate and will be back next year if possible.
