About this property

Anderson Island Luxury Beach Home. Kayak, HotTub, Paddle Board, Beachfront, View

Enjoy island life at its finest! You'll see more deer, eagles and seals than people. You won't be in close contact with anyone the entire time you're here. You'll be secluded on the eastern shore of Oro Bay on Anderson Island, about 90 minutes from Seattle. Enjoy the view and all the beauty the Puget Sound has to offer. Kayak, paddle board, beach comb, golf and experience some of the most amazing sunsets you'll ever see.

This secluded, spacious and sunny 2,500 square foot beach home, just steps from the beach, has everything you need to create memories to last a lifetime. Enjoy your time with friends and family and still have plenty of privacy when you want it.

There are two upstairs master bedroom suites. The South Suite has a king bed, vaulted ceilings, ensuite with a jetted tub. The North Suite has a queen bed and a single daybed, and ensuite. Both bedroom suites have flat screen TVs and private decks with spectacular ocean and island views. On the main level is a third bedroom with a queen sized bed. There is another full bath with washer and dryer also on the main level.

There's a cozy living room with a leather (sleeper) sofa and a very cozy sun room , both great for relaxing and enjoying the sunset or watching the 48" flat screen TV.

Our Anderson Island home has great Wi-Fi and Direct TV.

The fully equipped kitchen, kitchen bar and dining area open to the huge entertainment deck. On the deck you'll find a hot tub, propane grill, propane fire table and a complete set of patio furniture. Just a few steps to the beach where you'll have 3 kayaks and 2 stand up paddle boards at your service at no additional charge. The calm waters of Oro Bay make for some of the smoothest paddling you'll find anywhere. A short paddle across the bay brings you to Jacobs Point Park Marine Reserve with 82 acres of natural habitat and over a mile of pristine, undisturbed beach. This is the largest natural reserve in the entire Puget Sound. Expect to see our resident seals, heron, deer and eagles. More experienced paddlers can circle the island or head for nearby Ketron Island. If you're lucky you'll see the Orca and Humpback whales that frequently visit southern Puget Sound. If you'd like to bring your own boat we have a buoy right in front of the house.

Whatever you like to do, Anderson Island is a great place to do it. Many of our guests enjoy the natural beauty of the Puget Sound from the air-conditioned comfort of our home. If you feel more adventurous, there's lots to do on island. Golf at the Riviera Golf course and enjoy meals or drinks at the clubhouse restaurant overlooking Lake Josephine. Hike or bike the many parks and trials including Andy's Marine Park. Explore the many beaches of the island shores, bays and coves. Visit our local historical museum. Swim and fish in one of our 3 fresh water lakes including our famous "Old Swimming Hole" or take in a yoga class at our local community club studio. If you'd like to venture to the mainland, you'll find some great shops, restaurants, and spas in historical town of Steilacoom, all within walking distance of the mainland ferry dock. The Chambers Bay Golf Course, site of the 2015 U.S. Open, is just a few minutes drive from the Steilacoom ferry dock. 

Please note that there is a maximum occupancy in our home of 6 total guests (strict rule). Our base rate is calculated for 4 guests. For parties of 5 or more, we charge an additional $20/per guest/per night (including kids) even if they are not staying the entire visit.

Purchase groceries for your stay on the mainland in advance of catching the ferry to the island. There is a general store on the island with fairly limited grocery items like milk, bread, snacks, coffee, beverages, beer and wine.

We had an incredible 3 night stay at this serene, quiet, amd peaceful home. Enjoyed quiet mornings overlooking the water and peaceful nights by the fire. The island has a great restaurant, cafe, and trails to explore on top of the kayaking and paddle boarding you can do right from the home!

Beautiful home with gorgeous views of the sound and pink sunsets. We loved the easy beach access and using the paddle boards to play in the water. The house was very clean, the beds super comfy, and the kitchen had everything we needed to make pizzas! Host Betty was very communicative and lovely to chat with.

Island staycation

I really enjoyed the beautiful home with wonderful views and our own access to the beach. We wish we had more time there, we lost power our first night which is the only thing that made us lose time & comfort. However, that’s not something that was in anyone’s control.

Beautiful View

We had a choice of staying in 2 hotel rooms or renting a home for close to the same price. We chose wisely! Mostly gone during the day, the mornings and evening did not disappoint. Great place for coffee, breakfast and organizing our upcoming day. Great place to unwind with beverage and sunset. Communication was great. We did need to time our travels based on the ferry, the ferry website states 15 minutes ahead, really needs to be at least 30 minutes to be safe. Beautiful home! unwind and enjoy the sunset and a

Absolutely awesome home on the Bay of the Pacific Ocean. The home has great views of the bay. Super easy check-in and felt very safe. My wife and I and two kids that are in their 20’s loved everything about the home. The bedrooms are spacious and the two bedrooms upstairs both have decks overlooking the water. The third bedroom is downstairs and very nice as well. All with full bathrooms. The kitchen area is huge and fully stocked with amenities. The sunroom is super nice and we spent a lot of time just being together and watching the water and the great views. They also had some fun games that we enjoyed which is hard to find for the four of us. We used the bbq grill with no problems one night and the rest of the deck is really large with a fireplace, table and chairs with plenty of shade and an awesome hot tub. They have 2 paddleboards which we don’t use but did use the 3 kayaks a lot. Two single and one double kayak. They have life jackets and paddles. Even if you have never kayaked you have to try it. The water is chilly but very calm. The views are amazing. On clear days you have a great view of Mt Rainier on a 2 minute kayak trip or a 5 minute walk. We also saw several seals and even an orca. The owners are crazy nice people and very responsive. We loved everything about our trip. We travelled from Ohio to try something new and loved the home and the island that it’s on. A vacation that is so full of great memories. You won’t be disappointed.

Perfect summer getaway!

This property provides all the amenities necessary for a wonderful summer retreat with friends. We especially loved the hot tub, the outdoor seating area, and the serene views. However, the path to the beach is obstructed by overgrown weeds and thorns, which should be cleared to improve guest access. Additionally, the downstairs TV appears outdated and was challenging to operate. Despite these minor inconveniences, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beach getaway.

We enjoyed our stay. Views were great, deck needs a refresh, peeling paint. If you stay, bring water, tap water is yellow. Plenty of places to sleep. Could upgrade kitchen supplies, drinking wine our of a scratched plastic glass isn't near as fun as a clean glass wine goblet. Put off we had to bring our own towels for hottub.

Peaceful

The house is incredibly peaceful. It was very very clean and the kitchen is well stocked. The check in process felt somewhat cumbersome, and there were a lot of rules. However, we mixed up our check out date and consequently checked out late, which they were very nice about. It would be nice if they would just buy some towels for the Beach and hot tub rather than requiring that you bring them. But we slept well, watched beautiful sunsets, hiked all over the island and generally had a really lovely time at Donn and Betty's place. There aren't any board games so bring your own!

About the host

Hosted by Donn Bennett

Host profile image
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. My wife is a professional communicator who loves the great outdoors. I'm a musician and can bore you to tears rambling on about my favorite music. After much world travel, we think the Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Why they chose this property

After living in the Pacific Northwest most of our lives we recently discovered the South Puget Sound islands. We fell in love with the hidden islands and their secret inlets. Anderson Island quickly became one of our favorites. It has the perfect combination of secluded natural beauty and just enough modern conveniences to make the perfect place to relax and enjoy all the Northwest has to offer. Conveniently located and just about 90 minutes from Seattle. We love our Anderson Island home!

What makes this property unique

The house is located on the beach right on the shore of East Oro Bay with the calmest waters on Anderson island, ideal for swimming, paddling and boating. Beautiful water and sunset views from the deck, bedrooms, lounge and hot tub. Great year round for a romantic getaway or family vacation.
