Come enjoy the experience of a lifetime in a warm, cozy beachfront property situated on Historic Anderson Island. This unique retreat embodies the spirit of the Pacific Northwest beginning with a beautiful ferry ride. Once on the island, you’ll drive 5-minutes through wooded country roads to a private 8+ acre property with 400+ feet of waterfront, tucked away on Amsterdam Bay. The home itself has been beautifully updated and was designed for a cozy gathering of family or friends. The large deck and hot tub provide unmatched views of the bay while the row boat and paddle boards will give the adventurous an up close and personal wildlife experience. For those looking to cozy up with a good book or show, there is a beautiful living area with large windows and comfortable leather couches. For the cook inside you, enjoy the modern appliances indoors for a savory breakfast, get out the deck grill for a hearty lunch, or build a fire on the beach for a truly authentic outdoor experience.


If the property itself isn’t enough to keep you entertained, Anderson Island is an absolute treasure worth exploring with so many hidden gems scattered throughout.

Visit the quaint island general store and cafe on your way to the property to pick up necessary ingredients and any cravings to make the stay even more enjoyable.

Don’t miss the island swimming hole on Florence Lake for warm days! Make a day out of it by bringing a picnic for the afternoon or go for a quick dip to cool off. Bring along the paddle board or canoe to lengthen the stay and explore the water. The lake has roped off areas for small children, a dock in the middle for the big kids and adults to slide down and jump off. Finish off with a game of sand volleyball. Tan on the sandy beach while the kids swim to their heart’s content and build sandcastles by the lake.


Anderson Island also offers the Riviera Community Club for a unique round of golf. The golf course offers a well-maintained 9-hole golf course along with the Riviera Lakeshore restaurant for a delicious meal afterward. A fun way to take a break and bond together as friends and family.

This island property offers an unmatched, one-of-a-kind Pacific Northwest experience. Get away from the rat race of life and enjoy island living; bring your family and friends to this piece of paradise and leave with priceless memories worth talking about for a lifetime.

The photos don’t do it justice!

This place looked incredible from the photos, but they fall short to how gorgeous this place is. The property is huge and pretty private, protected by a GIANT tree that perfectly shades the deck and house without blocking the view of the water! We had a little doe, some geese and goslings visit the yard almost every day and a couple seals and heron that frequented the water. The paddle boards and kayaks were perfect and it was super easy to cruise around the bay. It was hard for us to leave, was incredibly peaceful and fun! The ferry is pretty easy as well (though you only need tickets to get to the island, not to leave it) and was honestly kinda a nice pace, we saw dolphins and orcas during our ferry trips!

Quiet cabin on the beach!

This was perfect for a quick 2 night new years visit. We enjoyed the game room, pickleball court and hot tub! Not much to do on the island but that's what we wanted, somewhere quiet to enjoy with the kids! Would love to come back in the summer.

Peaceful Tranquillity on the Water

Our family really enjoyed the quiet beauty of this amazing water-front location. The accommodations were fantastic and clean, and the amenities (hot tub, pickle ball court, games, ping pong, canoe, row boat, rope swing) provided for lots of fun and great memories. The hosts are wonderful to communicate with as well! Highly recommend!

The perfect place to stay and relax.

This was second stay at the beach house., it was so great the first time, I came back and will visit again in the future. The beach house is immaculate, secluded, and extremely relaxing. It was the perfect place to stay and unwind. Merlene (the host) is incredibly friendly and responsive. There is no better place to stay.

Beautiful property

The property is beautiful and will not disappoint, we really enjoyed our stay. From dipping our toes in the water looking for crabs, throwing rocks with our toddler, kayaking, making campfires at night and watching the sunset, this place has it all for a relaxing getaway and is perfect for families. They have a wonderful play structure for young kids and a game room for older kids and parents. You and your family will have a wonderful time here.

Amazing stay...again

We just returned from our second trip at Merlene's house, and it was just as good as our first experience. We love the calm and serene setting on Amsterdam Bay! There are so many activities to do on the property, that you really don't even need to leave. Some of our favorite activities include: looking for crabs on the shore, finding wildlife in the Puget Sound, using the rope swing up the hill, and picking blackberries. It is a great place if you have children, or if you just want some peace and quiet. We are already planning our trip again for next summer.

Amazing stay on a gorgeous property!

This family home is situated on a small orchard and had activities to keep our little family busy for over a week! A pickleball court, kayaks, a canoe, ping pong, fusbol, a hot tub, endless grass, a garden and an orchard! One of the cleanest homes we've ever stayed in and had an amazing kitchen. We had campfires at the waters edge nearly every night! We can't wait to return for another stay!

Quiet retreat

What a wonderful lake house retreat! Owner met us at property upon check in. So many fantastic amenities for the whole family. We enjoyed the canoe and kayak, pickleball court, ping pong table etc. If I had any complaints it would be the tubes inside the BBQ out back were rusted and cracked open so flame wasn't well controlled. House was very musty due to age. Overall we had a very nice trip. Thank you.

Beautiful quiet escape

We so enjoyed our stay at the beach house. My toddler exhausted himself everyday playing on the swings, collecting seashells, and splashing pebbles into the bay. His grandparents enjoyed the sunsets, cozy blankets on the deck, and beautiful landscaping. The island also has well groomed walking paths and hiking trails perfect for families. We’re already checking our calendars for the next time we can all get together at the beach house.

It's a little paradise.
