Serene 2BR Waterfront Retreat in Garden Setting
A Cozy, private, 2BR waterfront home with easy access to the beach.Strong Wi-Fi. Sleeps 4 adults in luxurious, queen-size sleigh beds.
A dreamy, secure and quiet retreat just 10 minutes from the Bremerton ferry to Seattle. Under 5 minutes to shopping, golf, and the Illahee State Park+Forest 20 min to charming Poulsbo, 30 min to the Olympic peninsula. Very friendly LGBTQ+ Pets OK. Cleaning is meticulous and management is by myself and my assistant. No Agency !!.. Personalized attention
My Guest Lisa says "If you’re looking for the perfect getaway with a most gracious host and a beautiful property overlooking amazing waterfront views of Puget Sound, then you need not look any further! We wanted to find the perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Washington’s Puget Sound, and this home provided all we needed. Amenities, nature, close to great tourist areas yet tucked away in an wonderfully peaceful haven to escape the rest of the world. Wonderful time and memories to last a lifetime!" 10-24-20
Enjoy carport parking for two cars just off the street. (Back into your spot for safer exits.) A few steps and a sidewalk wind down to the official front door, but your entry door is down a path on the left side of the house.
Amenities: Use the viewing deck with grill alongside the house, or take a staircase down to a dining table and lounge chairs at your landscaped beach front. Use of 2-4 kayaks is permitted -- life jackets are provided and mandatory. A public fishing and boating dock is accessible just a short walk away, with ample birding opportunities.
Leave with priceless memories of the Great Northwest. For more parking options call/ text your host..
Feel free to text me in the AIrBnB app for any questions or permissions. I respond very promptly to your needs and questions.
Enjoy this paradise with your favorite beverage, remarkable views and visiting friends on your patios. There are many many to choose from. Magic awaits!
You will have ultimate privacy even though I sometimes live next door.
The neighborhood above the beach includes a state part, a forest preserve and the beautiful 18-hole Rolling Hills Golf Course. Fishing, swimming and birding at the public dock a walk away. Bremerton and Brownsville marinas are both within a 10-minute drive. Shopping within a one-mile radius includes Safeway, Fred Meyer, Walgreens, Starbucks, Walmart, fast food, etc. Fine dining and exquisite french pasty shop are in Downtown Manette within 5 minutes..An Antique Trading Post is awesome and across the street
We're a 10-minute drive from the Bremerton ferry, and a 1-hour drive to the Bainbridge ferry. Kitsap buses depart from the ferry terminal to the McWilliams Park and Ride. Uber averages $15 from the ferry to the house; $8 from the Park and Ride. Limited overflow parking can be had a short walk away at the Illahee dock.
Public feedback from our GUEST FROM ALASKA: "This is now going to be the place to stay when I’m visiting my son in Bremerton! It was beautiful sunset moon coming up and sunrise in the morning. Birds everywhere, eagles in the trees next to the house. Wine at the fire pit at night and coffee on the deck in the morning. Even though it’s located by a road, we could not hear any traffic going by. It was secluded and private. Michael was an amazing host! Very hospitable."
The house is a great jumping off point for exploring the Bremerton Naval Base, Keyport Submarine Facility, Olympic College, Poulsbo, Bainbridge Island, Bloedel Gardens, the Olympic Peninsula, Port Townsend, but truthfully ... you will find it hard to tear yourself away from the tranquility of the beach house. Life Jackets Mandatory for FREE Kayak use (at your own risk).

A lovely, special place by the water. We had a great long weekend, kayaking everyday. The home is so comfortable with unique and beautiful art. We enjoyed coffee and drinks with many great spots to relax with awesome views. Our host is so gracious and kind. The property manager is very sweet, and responsive to questions. We even experienced a baby seal coming up to the shore to sun herself. A perfect location to visit Bremerton and the surrounding area. We will definitely stay here again.
