Find peace, comfort and inspiration in our 3 bedroom beach cottage on the shores of Puget Sound. You can launch your kayak or paddle board out front, go fishing, beachcombing or just relax on the deck while enjoying views of Blake and Bainbridge Islands, Mt. Baker, the Olympic and Cascade mountains and the spectacular Puget Sound. A great location for exploring the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas and the Seattle area, we are located only 5 minutes away from the Southworth ferry to Seattle. Our home would be an ideal retreat for writers, artists, photographers, bird watchers or fly fishermen, or great for family gatherings, a getaway with friends, or for anyone longing to connect with nature while enjoying a view that is different every moment of every day. Private beach access out front, front and back decks, great area for walking and biking, Harper Fishing Pier down the street, big backyard with barbecue and badminton set We live next door and will happily answer questions but also respect your privacy Our street is a one lane dead end road by the shore that gets way more foot traffic than vehicle traffic. It's a 2 minute walk to Harper Fishing Pier, a 5 minute drive to the ferry to Seattle/Vashon, a 10 minute drive to Rt. 16, and a 20 minute drive to Gig Harbor or Bremerton. It's an easy fun commute to Seattle to catch a great sporting, music or theater event, or within an hour or two, you can be exploring the Olympic National Park, Bainbridge Island, the Pacific Ocean beaches, the Hoh Rainforest, or Port Townsend.
