Experience a rare island adventure in this three bedroom home with 120 feet of beachfront property, only 90 minutes from Seattle and 60 minutes from Tacoma.
Begin your excursion with a short ferry ride to a small private island where the deer are so friendly they will eat out of your hand.
Take out the kayaks and the paddle board and you're very likely to see some of the neighborhood seals. You might even be lucky enough to see an orca or humpback whale! Or follow the beach around the entire island in about 1.5 hours. The grill, fire pit, and yard games will enhance your outdoor experience. Or visit the island playground, tennis, and basketball court with just a short 5-minute walk.
When you're ready to wind down from your day, pour yourself a drink, fire up the grill, and enjoy the spectacular views from the huge deck. Hang out in the 6-person hot tub. If you stay up late enough, you'll enjoy some fabulous star-gazing.
In the morning, help yourself to a cup of coffee and enjoy the beautiful sunrise.
Food & supply notes: This is a tranquil place to disconnect for adventure and relaxation, which means no grocery stores, gas stations, or restaurants. The kitchen is well-stocked and supplied with oil, spices, and coffee and tea. There is normally propane at the house, but bring a tank as back-up in case the tanks are empty. The Food Market at Key Center is the closest large supermarket, so be sure to stop before you get on the ferry if there's anything you need for your stay.
Ferry notes: The ferry dock is at 20801 Isted Rd NW, Lakebay, WA. The cost is $20 for the car and driver, and $3 for each additional passenger. Only exact cash and checks are accepted, no credit cards. We will arrange a ferry pass for you and help you with all the details!
Boat and Jet-skis: There is a buoy at the house if you plan to arrive via your own boat. Please let us know if this is the case so we can provide you with boater instructions.
