About this property

Lovely Water View at The Chowder House on Filucy Bay

Enjoy a beautiful marina view from the sun room, deck, living room or bedrooms. Built in 1920 but with roots dating back to 1890, The Chowder House was a hotel and restaurant before becoming a private residence in the early 2000's. With charming accents of coved ceilings and original hardwood floors, it also has huge picture windows overlooking beautiful Filucy Bay from the sunroom, dining room, living room, and both bedrooms. The main floor has a large, fully equipped kitchen with new cooktop, a dining room that seats 6, and a sun room with a sleeper-sofa and a large desk--perfect for working from home. The living room has a Smart TV where you can log into your Netflix/Hulu/Amazon or Youtube accounts, as well as a DVD player and a gas fireplace. Upstairs are both remodeled bedrooms with Queen size beds, and en-suite bathrooms-- each with a large walk-in shower, plus a study area with a full-size futon and desk overlooking Filucy Bay. The south bedroom has it's own small deck overlooking the bay, and both bedrooms have window seats for cozy reading while watching the herons or enjoying the sunset. The house has WIFI and air conditioning. We have a 3 person hot tub outside on the deck, as well as kayaks for use on the bay. Please note there are 18 stairs to the 2nd floor that are a bit steep, and several level changes on the main floor, so accessibility is limited. There is a small stool for easier access to each pillow-top bed.

Whether you need a tranquil getaway, a quiet place to work, or a home base to explore the many state and regional parks and beaches in the area, we know your stay at The Chowder House will be memorable. Reserve your escape today!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie and Wayland

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 Seattle Natives who love to call the Pacific Northwest our home, while also loving to travel and see the world. We have many more places to travel on our bucket lists and have found that vacation rentals make our stays more comfortable. With a daughter and a son, vacations were better for everyone when we could each have a bit of space at the end of a busy tourist-y day. We've stayed in vacation rentals all over the US, and also Canada, Ireland, Iceland, England, Italy, Greece and Scotland. We love good food and wine, hiking, swimming and boating, plus reading, museums, history and photography.

Why they chose this property

In 2020 we decided to find a vacation spot closer to home and began looking on the Key Peninsula. We spent quite a few family vacations over the years at nearby Camp Seymour and love the pristine beaches, quiet picturesque communities and getting away from it all. We saw the Chowder House on-line and fell in love with it's history, views and charm. We have already made great memories here and want to share this spot with others.

What makes this property unique

The Chowder House is across the street from the Longbranch Marina, which offers public boat moorage for a nightly fee on a first-come, first served basis. For more information contact the Longbranch Improvement Club, Dockmaster Katie, at (253) 202-2056, or dockmaster@licweb.org The marina is almost never fully booked. Our home is also minutes away from many local beaches, hiking and state and county parks.
