About the host
Hosted by Michael j Koontz
Joy and Michael have enjoyed bringing our three children and close friends to Anchors Away for the last 25+ years. We love the Pacific Northwest and all the beauty and adventure it has to offer. Michael is a native of the area and loves to fish, scuba dive, kayak and cook. Joy, is from Iowa originally, and loves being with friends and family, coaching volleyball, or just enjoying a cafe' mocha in the morning with a friend. When she's relaxing with a good book in a beach chair or by the fire, she's in her happy place.
Why they chose this property
If you love Nat Geo or Discovery channel, you will love this place. Every day, we see something that reminds us how blessed we are to be here. Whales, Porpoise, Seals and Sea Lions are common. Navy ships and Freighters cruise by while commercial and recreational fishermen and crabbers work their gear. Tug boats and sailboats navigate stormy seas. The gorgeous sunrise over glassy-calm Possession Sound makes it hard to want to sleep in. Any season, every hour paints a different picture. It's our little slice of heaven.
What makes this property unique
So many things to do. Grilling a fresh-caught salmon and boiling crab that you caught from the rowboat. Kayaking with the porpoise and seals, walking the beach, discovering shells, and treasures from the last high tide, digging clams at low tide.
Or - get away and explore the many island attractions. Restaurants, shops, family activities, hikes, wineries, beaches, and more are just minutes away in Langley, Bayview and Clinton, or drive the entire island and see beautiful Deception pass, Fort Casey, Oak Harbor.
Anchors Away feels remote because we have only one neighbor and a private beach, but you're quite close to all the conveniences of town.
Bring your fishing pole and crab buoy and you can use the row boat to drop our crab pots and let the kids catch sole/flounder, sea perch, and salmon and crab (in season). Catch and release fisheries are also good for sea -run cutthroat and steelhead. Check WDFW website for Area 8-2 for information on fishing/crabbing/shrimping/clamming
