About this property

Rare Puget Sound Cottage directly on the water with a large sandy beach! Spectacular sunsets and great marine wildlife... Orca, Humpback, and Pilot whales. Seals, Salmon, Crabs, Clams, Sand Dollars, Eagles and Seagulls. One of a kind oasis in the Pacific NorthWest.

Great spot for a romantic peaceful getaway. Snuggle up on the deck with a glass of wine and a good book while enjoying spectacular views. Or go for a beach walk on our private secluded sandy beach.

Our kids grew up on weekends here, so it is also a great spot for a family vacation. We have lots of beach toys and nothing like planting a chair in the sand while your kids run around. We can comfortably hold two families of four (8 people total) if you have the kids stay in the loft. We have had 4 adults and 6 kids for long weekends, it only gets tight in bad weather and everyone is inside.

* Note that the map location says Harstine Island, but if you look closely at the location, we are NOT on Harstine or any other island.

Perfect spot on the water

Lovely home in a great location. Everything you could need or want is available for your use. Beds were very comfortable and it was very quiet. Sadly the weather was cool but we used the provided throw blankets and spent a lot of time on the deck listening to the lapping of the waves. This place has the feel of a beloved summer cottage that helps you feel right at home.

Gorgeous deck and beach

We loved this space inside and out with our young kids (4,1,1). What a treat to have a fun beach, tide pools and great toys. Campfire was quite the treat for adults in the evening!

This property is even more beautiful in-person. The beach is pristine and provided endless fun for kids and adults. The owners are quite generous with what they keep stocked and amenities they offer. If you can’t find a way to enjoy yourself here, there’s no hope for you.

Gorgeous view

We brought our 3 grandsons to this lovely secluded home right on the water for 3 day. Lots of things to do both inside and out . The deck is a great place to relax and watch the kids play. All kinds of games and beach toys are readily available along with plenty of towels and blankets. The only drawback was the lack of a screen door to the deck as we had way too many flies in the House. I would recommend this place happily to anyone.

A Nice Getaway

The overall week we stayed here was very nice! The front door was very hard to open when we first got to the house, but we were able to get it open after some wiggling. Everybody walked the large beach at low tide and we got to see a decent amount of sea creatures! Specifically sea stars, sea snails, a sea slug, anemones, and seals! It was sadly cloudy everyday we were there, but we did get to see the mountain views the day before we left which was a nice surprise. We didn't expect the loft to be in the garage and to have a rock wall to climb to get to it, but the two 24 year olds were able to make due. The sliding door was very hard to open for the two 70 year olds, but thankfully they were only at the house alone for 1 of the days so it wasn't a major problem.

A beautiful location - an ideal getaway home

We travelled from Ireland to see the Pacific Northwest and chose this property for the views - seeing the snow-capped mountains from the deck was breathtaking. In hindsight, a little out of the way for what we wanted to do, but that is not an adverse comment about the property. It was clean, comfortable & a real home from home. Would have liked to have wardrobe hanging space and an iron & ironing board, but that might just be us. David was great - whatever we needed prior to travel was quickly accommodated, notwithstanding our 8 hour time difference.

This incredible home is a place you will never want to leave. Our family felt immediately peaceful the minute we walked in. We loved the hours long sunsets, gorgeous view of the deck, and roasting marshmallows at night. We will definitely be back!

Lovely, but not really a 3 bedroom.

Let me start by saying that the record breaking heat was not the fault of the property owner. The small window size air conditioner was no match for near 100 degree weather. The third loft bedroom was in the garage and accessible by a rock climbing set up. Our group of 3 consisted of 2 60+ and our 92 year old mother. We made do with the 2 bedrooms and the couch. On the positive side the house was perfectly situated on the sound, and the views were fantastic.

Great getaway right on the water

The house was wonderful for our family getaway - everyone loved being right on the beach! We saw sea lions, eagles, sand dollars, geese, deer, and cranes, all while hanging out on the property. The kitchen was well stocked for all of our needs and we had plenty of sleeping areas for our party of 7. The house was clean and clear instructions were left to help answer all of our questions.

Beautiful setting on the water low bank with a sandy beach. We had a light show the first night. Watching lightening on the water was a new experience. Great walks on the beach and kids spend their day in the sand and water. Everyone loved it.

Our stay was above and beyond our wildest dreams. What an amazing spot with wonderful amenities. Secluded area,safe, immaculate and quiet. We loved the beach and deck. The windows all along the front are amazing to view ocean and watch sunset inside or outside. What a treat to stay in this amazing beach cottage. We could feel the loving touches of the family that own it. It was a divine vacation / graduation family celebration!

Amazing place

I had a hard time when trying to find a place since I hadn’t been to the area before and I am so glad I chose this house. I flew out from Indiana with my daughter and her kids to meet my daughter in law and my other grandkids who live NE Washington. The house had plenty of room for all of us and plenty of things to keep everyone busy. We walked the beach every morning and evening. The kids played right in front of the deck. The scenery from the deck was amazing. The views did not disappoint. The neighbors were so kind and friendly. I loved washing dishes with the breeze coming in the windows and seeing the view. The hosts were responsive and had the house stocked with everything we needed. It was so nice not dragging dirty laundry home! I will definitely look forward to staying here again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by David Overcash

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. Grew up fishing, camping, hiking and enjoying the great outdoors with my dad and family. Big Seattle sports fan and bleed Purple and Gold of my Washington Huskies! Love spending time with my family and my two amazing daughters.

Why they chose this property

As our daughters have gotten older and become very active in their activities, we were not using the beach house nearly as much. It is a very special place, so we wanted to create the opportunity for others to enjoy it while keeping it in the family for generations to come.

This property is an absolute oasis! Family friendly while being a place of relaxation and healing. This is not your Spring Break getting away and not any ordinary rental property. We still spend lots of time here and love that we are able to share it with you. Our community is one big family here, so we ask everyone to be respectful of all our neighbors – and don’t be surprised if someone ask you who you are and strikes up a conversation. We all look after one another.

Thank you for reading this, respecting our wishes, and for taking care of our “beach hideaway” during your stay. We are truly blessed for this sanctuary, and we look forward to sharing it with you!

David, Sherie, Dyllan & Sydney

What makes this property unique

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I have never seen this big of a sandy beach anywhere except Ocean Shores. It is an amazing one-of-a-kind treasure. The beach walks are unbelievable with tons of open space and a crazy sand dollar bed. The sunsets are spectacular year around with great views of the Olympic mountains. Over the last few years we have also seen an increase in Orca and Humpback whale sightings from our deck. It just never disappoints!
