About this property

Award Winning Waterfront Home on South Sound's Best Beach

Treat yourself to an extraordinary waterfront getaway. Just 15 minutes from downtown Olympia. This expansive, unique property is comprised of a modern hilltop home for your exclusive use overlooking the main passage on south Puget Sound . On the beach below is a gorgeous one of a kind sandy beach and cove...beckoning you to explore. People's Choice winner in Olympia Master Builders 2018 home tour. Max, 4 persons in 2 queen beds

Guests will enjoy use of 1 full bathroom and 2 half baths . Radiant floor heat throughout assures cozy comfort even on coldest days. Floor to ceiling windows feature wonderful seaviews of sunsets, marine traffic and wildlife passing by on the main marine corridor between Olympia and the Pacific Ocean

There are no steps to enter the home or accessing any room in the ground level floor...including main bath, one bedroom, living room and kitchen.

A full, well equipped kitchen features new, modern appliances. Amazon Echo devices are in living room, rec room and bedrooms.

All guests share use of beach activities with the owner who may be residing in the neighboring heritage beachside cabin complex far below. . He will delight in assisting with waterside activities...including suggested beach walks and tidepool explorations, stable double kayak, single sit on top kayak and a SUP. A caution, however, there are 120 steps to the cabin and beach. For some, it's an easy climb, for others it may seem like Mt Everest.

The option to enjoy sandy beach activities is especially appealing for families. While perfect behavior is impossible to guarantee, the owner advises this home is not "child-proof," so prefers children 4 years and older.

Sorry, parties and any unregistered guests are not allowed, but certain social activities may be allowed after discussion with owner/host.

easy access getaway
So close to downtown, yet so far! Beautiful views, nice walking & hiking. Very civilized, comfy, and well-thought-out space. Semi off-grid, with a well and septic system. Craig was very attentive and helpful. Greeted me in person when I arrived. He stays in a separate building on the site, but respects your privacy. For extra charm, the property comes with an optional bonus kitty whose primary agenda is getting extra food. :D If you’re not into cats, you can just ignore him. He’s very hardy and independent.

Beautiful home- quiet setting
This gorgeous home is in a very quiet and serene setting. Comfortably appointed we enjoyed watching the tides roll in and out The owner is extremely responsive to request and questions. The location was perfect for us with easy access to all the amenities of Olympia. And a plus for us was the very friendly resident outdoor cat.

Outstanding location for outdoor loving adventurers
The location is stellar. The home is beautiful and the views are amazing. The beachfront is gorgeous- we were on the beach every morning and evening- we loved all of it. The stairs to the beach are very steep, fine for older kids and those with good balance and strength. We were very pleased with our stay and hope to be able to stay again. Location is 10 minutes to downtown Olympia and 15 minutes to I5. Definitely recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Craig Sternagel

Host profile image
Retired ...from travel industry. Extensive world traveler, traditional and adventures. Have biked across USA, around Iceland, Austria, France , Croatia and extensive Pacific NW. Completed two 140.6 mile Ironman triathlons, after turning 60. Most recent contest, 70 mile row in 17 hours and 350 mile roundtrip row to Canada. I will teach you to kayak, or row with a super fast and stable query. I look forward to sharing my paradise with you.

I am third generation owner...and so terribly proud of a very, very special property. When you rent my new home, I may take up residence in my heritage cabin on the beach far below. A place I lived for 4.5 years before building my new hilltop home .

Why they chose this property

This mid century modern home is very unique, incorporating many elements from the property. Combined with an extraordinary beach, guests can enjoy comfort with all luxuries on the hilltop and an incomparable beach experience at the bottom of a 120 step stairway..

And if you want to enjoy other area attractions, restaurants, breweries, shops, etc, I have been a volunteer at the local tourist info center and the local performing arts center

What makes this property unique

Remarkably quiet. Private beach. This modern, award-winning home is sparkling clean and blends with a marine environment.
