About this property

This three building property is located on Rocky Bay, a beach which offers a multitude of activity options, including floating, fishing, clamming, beach-combing and swimming in some of the warmest waters of Puget Sound. Close to additional amenities, including kayak and boat rentals in nearby Allyn, hiking on the Olympic Peninsula, and proximity to the activities afforded in Gig Harbor and Tacoma - a short drive away.

The three cabins offer privacy, while also affording the ability to congregate, providing an ideal setting for multiple families, including pets, to enjoy a relaxing vacation together.

One building, "Kingfisher", has two bedrooms and a bathroom. "Blue Heron" has a bedroom, a double futon in the living area, and bunk beds at the base of the lighthouse tower, which is separated by double doors. Additional sleeping is available on tri-fold mats in the loft of the building, as well as the lighthouse tower. The lighthouse has been known to strike the imaginations of the young and old who visit there.

The main cabin, (the "Cabana") is an open-concept living area with great water views and a cozy fireplace. A perfect all-weather setting for family gatherings inside or out. The dining table easily seats 6, and can be expanded to seat 10.

We are excited to share this gem that we have enjoyed for generations, and invite you to explore all that it has to offer.

Annual Family Visit

We looked for a place that could accommodate our 3 adult children and families on the Puget Sound waterfront. 9 of us in all with plenty of space for more. This is the perfect place for it. Ample space to spread out or hang together as desired. There are 3 separate buildings but all just steps away from each other. We weren't sure how that would be but turned out to be absolutely perfect. Extremely well equipped kitchen and lots of fun indoor and outdoor activities. The hosts communicated along the way and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. This right on the water so we spent a lot of time on the outside patio and walking the rocky shore collecting and observing the myriad of open creatures. If you've ever wanted to see live sand dollars this is the place with thousands of them. I couldn't recommend this place more. Absolutely gorgeous views and spectacular sunsets! You won't be disappointed!

Soothing Get Away

Our family gathered in this beautiful location. First time for all on the Puget Sound. We enjoyed the sounds and beauty of nature in a private setting. The common area was used constantly by all and really set up a atmosphere of a family gathering. The kitchen was excellently equipped. The sleeping buildings served our purpose of having some privacy. We all loved using the kayaks right off the patio into the sound. It truly is a comfortable, warm and kid friendly place.
