Top-Rated Waterfront Retreat Near Port Townsend

Location! Stunning Year-Round Views!

Savor your morning coffee as the sun rises over Admiralty Inlet, then unwind with a glass of wine as the day draws to a close. It's easy to see why guests fall in love with magical Marrowstone Island—and return year after year.

Welcome to an immaculate waterfront retreat where the tranquility of island living creates an unforgettable Pacific Northwest escape. Set on 1.2 acres with 100 feet of medium-bank waterfront, the home overlooks Admiralty Inlet, Whidbey Island, the Cascade Mountains, and, on clear days, Mount Baker and Mount Rainier. Guests often remark on the relaxing atmosphere, bald eagles soaring past the expansive picture windows at eye level, and the gentle rhythm of ships passing through Admiralty Inlet.
Expansive picture windows fill the home with natural light and bring the waterfront indoors. Relax by the cozy gas fireplace, prepare meals in the fully equipped kitchen, or gather around the dining table as boats glide through Admiralty Inlet. Three inviting bedrooms, each overlooking the water, and two full bathrooms provide a comfortable retreat, while private patios invite you to slow down and enjoy the fresh sea air.

Book with confidence. Marrowstone Beach House is one of the area's few legally permitted Jefferson County vacation rentals (Permit ZON2022-00029)—a reflection of our commitment to providing an exceptional guest experience.

Quiet country roads wind through forests of towering evergreens to peaceful beaches, where nature sets the pace and everyday cares fade away. Explore Fort Flagler State Park, kayak the shoreline, hike scenic trails, visit charming Port Townsend, or simply embrace the slower rhythm of island life.

Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a peaceful retreat, Marrowstone Beach House offers an unforgettable Pacific Northwest experience. We look forward to sharing this special place with you.

Beautiful views of Puget Sound. The grounds are well maintained with a wide variety of plants and the rhodies were especially beautiful during our stay. A well equipped kitchen and a large dining room table; a comfortable living area. A great stay for the four of us (a womens only trip) plus our little dog.
