4BR/2BA | Waterfront home | Sleeps 8 | Dog-friendly | Private Gym
Welcome to The Pearl, where life genuinely slows down.
Our rare waterfront sanctuary features panoramic Puget Sound views, and a fully equipped private gym. Dogs are welcome on a weight-based pet fee.
For soccer fans, skip the downtown chaos and enjoy a scenic, traffic-free ferry ride to the stadium. After the game, wake to bald eagles riding thermals over the water and deer wandering our one-acre curated garden at dusk.

Skip the Seattle World Cup Traffic!
Forget highway gridlock and stadium parking. Three effortless ferry routes connect you directly to the action:
The Kingston Fast Ferry (passenger only): 40 minutes to downtown Seattle's Pier 50, then a flat scenic walk straight to Lumen Field.
The Bainbridge Island Ferry (vehicle and passenger): 35 minutes to the downtown waterfront, steps from Pike Place Market and pre-match festivities.
The Edmonds Ferry: 30 minutes, ideal if you are driving into the region.
Experience the world's biggest sporting stage by day. Come home to your own private waterfront sanctuary by night.
Six FIFA World Cup matches come to Seattle between June 15 and July 6, and The Pearl is the perfect distance away: close enough to feel the electricity, far enough to return home to silence.
Move
A fully equipped private gym in a detached structure with weights, cardio, and everything you need for a full workout without leaving the property.
A dedicated bonus room with water views serves as the perfect yoga or meditation space.
Beach access and kayak launch are minutes away. Hiking and the Hansville Greenway trail start right at the gate.
Restore
Enjoy panoramic Sound and mountain views from every main living space. A fireplace for evening unwinding. A spacious deck overlooking the lawn and garden, with seating for eight facing the water. Resident hummingbirds, eagles, osprey, and the occasional deer make every morning feel like a wildlife sanctuary.
Sleep
Four distinct sleeping spaces for up to 8 guests, each thoughtfully designed:
Primary Suite: Queen bed with a personal patio overlooking the Sound. Wake to water light every morning. The adjacent bathroom features a bathtub with panoramic Sound views - a guest favorite.
Second Bedroom: Twin beds facing the garden. Perfect for kids or a pair of solo travelers.
Third Bedroom: Queen bed with its own separate entry. Ideal for guests wanting extra privacy.
Loft: A sun-drenched space with skylights, expansive Sound views, a queen bed, and room to spread out. Another guest favorite.
Nourish
A freshly renovated kitchen with a brand new 10-foot butcher block island, designed for wholesome, unhurried home cooking for a crowd. Two separate kitchen areas: the main island for entertaining plus a second prep kitchen with a waterfall faucet and coffee station, so mornings never feel crowded. The dining table extends to seat eight. Step outside to the deck for al fresco dining under string lights, or in the backyard with the Sound as your backdrop.
Explore
5 minutes to Hansville's beautiful beaches and Norwegian Point Park.
20 minutes to Poulsbo, a charming Scandinavian waterfront town with cafes, bakeries, and boutiques.
Three ferry connections to Seattle: Bainbridge Island (35 min), Kingston Fast Ferry (40 min, passenger only), Washington State Ferry to Edmonds (30 min crossing).
Point No Point Lighthouse, the oldest on Puget Sound, just down the road.
Foulweather Bluff Wildlife Preserve with orcas, humpbacks, harbor seals, and river otters a short drive away.
One acre of private botanical garden, resident hummingbirds, eagles, osprey, and the occasional deer.
Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, and the Cascades on the horizon.

Getting Here
Downtown Seattle is about 35 minutes by the pedestrian-only fast ferry, and about 1 hour total by the car ferry. The house is about 20 minutes from the Kingston Ferry Terminal and 35 minutes from the Bainbridge Ferry Terminal. Check ferry schedules at the WSDOT website (car ferry) and Kitsap Transit website (fast ferry). Download the WSDOT app for real-time updates. If driving, we are about 1.5 hours south through Tacoma then north via the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Ample parking for at least 3 cars on the property.
FIFA WORLD CUP
Attending FIFA World Cup 2026 in Seattle? The Pearl sleeps 8 and is perfectly positioned for match days. For groups, The Pearl works out to around $80 to $120 per person per night, less than a standard Seattle hotel room, with Puget Sound as your backyard.
Two separate kitchen areas, a brand new 10-foot butcher block island, plus a back prep kitchen with its own sink and coffee station, so 8 people can fuel up and head to the ferry without the morning chaos. After the final whistle, come home to Puget Sound, the Adirondack chairs, and the kind of quiet that resets everything.
Ferry options on match days: Kingston Fast Ferry (40 min, passenger only, book returns in advance); Bainbridge Island Ferry (35 min, car and passenger); Edmonds Ferry (30 min, best if driving into Seattle). Allow extra time on match days; ferries fill quickly.
THE SETTING
Hansville sits at the tip of the Kitsap Peninsula, one of the most quietly spectacular corners of the Pacific Northwest. Far enough from the city to feel genuinely remote. Close enough to everything to feel free, not stranded. A hiking trail runs directly from the property, facing a horse farm across the road. The Pearl sits between two of Puget Sound's historic lighthouses: Skunk Bay Lighthouse is your nearest neighbor, and Point No Point Lighthouse, the oldest on Puget Sound, is a short drive north. Cozy up by the fireplace and watch bald eagles and ospreys soar above the Sound. This is the Pacific Northwest as it was meant to be experienced.
PLANNING YOUR STAY
The Pearl books quickly, particularly for FIFA World Cup 2026 match weeks and summer holidays. International and out-of-state guests are welcome to reserve up to 12 months in advance. Secure your dates now.
