Remote Bluff-Top Retreat near Port Townsend, 180° Water Views & Private Beach

Location! Stunning Year-Round Views!

Perched above Admiralty Inlet, with a bird’s-eye view across more than 180 degrees of water and mountains.

Savor your morning coffee as the sun rises over the water, watch bald eagles glide past the windows at eye level, then unwind with a glass of wine as the day fades. It’s easy to see why guests fall in love with Marrowstone Island and return year after year.

Set on 1.2 quiet acres on a rural stretch of the island, Marrowstone Beach House looks out over Admiralty Inlet, Whidbey Island, and the Cascade Mountains, and on clear days, Mount Baker and Mount Rainier. Ships and boats pass through the inlet below, and in winter you can watch storms sweep in across the water from beside the fire.

Expansive picture windows fill the home with natural light and frame the view from nearly every room. Relax by the gas fireplace, cook in the fully equipped kitchen, or gather around the dining table as boats glide by. All three bedrooms overlook the water, and private patios invite you to slow down and breathe the sea air.

A short walk brings you down to the home’s own 100 feet of private beach, wild and uncrowded, where the occasional walker may pass along the shoreline. Well-behaved dogs are welcome too.

Book with confidence. Marrowstone Beach House is one of the area’s few legally permitted Jefferson County vacation rentals (Permit ZON2022-00029).

Quiet country roads wind through towering evergreens to peaceful beaches. Explore Fort Flagler State Park, kayak the shoreline, hike scenic trails, or spend an afternoon in charming Port Townsend, then return to the quiet of the bluff.

Whether it’s a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a winter escape by the fire, we look forward to sharing this special place with you.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony or patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Great location.Nice and modern house with gas fireplace.The view was spectacular, the neighborhood quiet, and the property was very private. It was close to several waterfront parks and Port Townsend was only 30 minutes away. We would certainly stay there again.

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.

Lovely, cozy home with an incredible view. The entire property is like a forest retreat with little seating areas and places to gaze out at the water. Everything is comfortable and well stocked. The house lives bigger than the square footage with a place for everything. Very clean and welcoming. Jenny was very helpful and easy to contact.
