YOUR PRIVATE GETAWAY ON THE BEACH!!

For those seeking a peaceful nature retreat with stunning year-round water views, Agate Beach House is the perfect place to relax in solitude or gather with friends and family.

Privately nestled amidst towering fir trees, Agate Beach House offers wide-ranging views of Hammersely Inlet, 8-miles of winding saltwater connecting Oakland Bay with Puget Sound. Watch the playful seals, fish from the beach, dig clams for dinner, and (on rare but fortuitous occasions) witness pods of splashing Orcas from the home’s wraparound deck.

The beach house consists of almost 2300 square feet, sleeping up to ten guests (eight adults max please). There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, with a third bedroom and an additional sleeping/entertainment room (with a door) and third bathroom downstairs.

The spacious main level living room features a cathedral ceiling and an entire wall of windows framing sweeping water views, which is equally mesmerizing in misty fog as when illuminated by bright sunshine. This room is comfortably and tastefully furnished with leather sofas, fireplace, 40” flat screen TV, DVD player, basic cable, a selection of books, as well as wireless internet (available throughout the house).

The open kitchen is fully equipped to prepare a gourmet feast, and includes a coffee maker, blender/food processor, commercial grade waffle maker and cookbooks.

Through the sliding glass doors of the adjoining dining room (seating 6 to 8), the large deck includes a gas grill and outdoor table and chairs overlooking the water. The yard is tastefully landscaped with mostly native shrubs and trees.

Still on the main level, the master bedroom offers a queen bed with water views, TV, and an en-suite bathroom with jetted tub (no shower in this bathroom). The guest bedroom next door faces the fir trees lining the private driveway. Furnished with a queen size bed, it is situated a few steps from the main level bathroom, which includes a tub and shower.

The downstairs living area offers limited views of the water, a cozy wood stove, and a sliding glass door to the lower garden. This spacious room with a door for privacy is furnished with a king sized bed and a twin bunk bed. The room also offers TV, videos, and board games. It is an ideal space to entertain children.

Also downstairs is yet another private bedroom with queen bed. There is also a third bathroom with a shower on the lower level.

WATER ACTIVITIES

Enjoy long strolls along the beach in either direction during low tide. Rent a kayak and have it delivered from the nearby town of Allyn (please note that the current strength varies throughout the day; consult tide schedule and kayak rental professionals regarding skill level requirements).

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS

Less than two hours’ drive from Seattle, Agate Beach House offers nearby conveniences and recreation including hiking, fishing, kayaking, wine tasting and fresh local seafood.

Fresh local oysters, Dungeness crab, and fresh and smoked clams can be purchased to bring home, from Taylor Shellfish’s Retail Store on the southern edge of Shelton. One and a half miles from Taylor Shellfish, visit the friendly staff at Walter Dacon Winery’s tasting room and sample their award-winning Washington wines.

In the opposite direction, seven miles north of Agate Beach House, on the way to Harstine Island State Park (which has been described as “the best kept secret in Puget Sound” for its pristine shorelines and protected forests accessible by hiking trails), the Olympic Bakery & Deli offers daily fresh baked goods, quick and healthy casual meals, and wine & cheese tastings.

Take a daytrip to the magical Olympic National Park, North America’s only temperate rainforest, with its breathtaking views and abundant wildlife.

Take the scenic ferry ride from Bremerton to downtown Seattle, where the ferry stops only a few blocks from Seattle’s famous Pike Place Market. Explore downtown Seattle by foot, avoiding the stress of navigating traffic and parking.

Less than 45 minutes’ drive from Shelton, scuba enthusiasts can dive with the giant Pacific octopus, wolf eels, rockfish, and anemones that reside in the clear waters of the Hood Canal.

    The kitchen was wonderfully stocked! Sharp knives and plenty of dishes, glasses, and silverware. Beautiful views from kitchen, living room and master bedroom. We loved the fireplace and we so appreciated all the beautiful art on the walls, all the masks, and ceramics. It truly was a treasure.And oh, there were so many salmon jumping!! We were all inspired.

    The house was very nice and quiet. The deer came by to visit. Saw a seal and lots of birds. Loved sitting on the porch watching the Puget Sound go up and down.

    We loved the house. It was very well stocked.But are some problems….. the refrigerator water dispenser leaks and makes a mess on the floor. Some of the lights didn’t have bulbs or were out. One kitchen light comes on and off by itself on the ceiling and last the curtains downstairs are falling off the wall as wall in the dining room.

    The house, cleanliness, check in, communication, were all excellent. The views are unmatched in my vacationing experience. But, the lack of yard space was an issue for 3 kids age 6-11. The back yard is beautifully landscaped and excellent vistas, but it is heavily sloped, and there is no beach to speak of when the tide is up, cutting down on play space for little ones. Because of the quiet location, it is unfortunately not within walking distance of attractions, parks, or town, so we had to load everybody up to get out and do things outside the house. There was only enough seating in the living room to comfortably seat 6. The listing noted games were available, but there were only puzzles. The final odd note is that the Master Bathroom has no shower. Just a bathtub. Again, this is an excellent house for Teenage and above, for hanging out, enjoying view with a cup of coffee. But for our group, not a perfect fit.

    House is in a great location. The inlet is beautiful and the wildlife is spectacular. The house is nice but a lot of the facilities are tired. Dishwasher needs to be fixed, there are tears in the couches, and most of the house was well worn. Still, it is a nice home.

    Great place to go if you are not looking to go out and about. There is not much to do in the nearby town. The patio and deck furniture should be replaced, they were pretty rickety. I would also suggest replacing the deck boards and railing. They are very wobbly. Otherwise it was a great place!

    Beautiful spot, clean home and comfortable beds. No AC and for the most part we didnt need it. We saw seals, otters, and 2 orcas on one morning. We enjoyed the lower deck and had a young boy who loved the beach crabs and finding treasures. The only thing I would change is the oven, it vents hot air into the kitchen and when it's hot outside and no AC, the upstairs in the summer is too hot. The pathways to the lower deck were nice but the it's just overgrown so you get whacked by bushes.

    The house had plenty of room for our family get-together of six adults, a teen and a child. The views of the full moon over the water were amazing. We enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding. The location is quiet and private and the grounds are lovely.

    Had perfect weather to enjoy this house with a calming view of the water while sitting on the deck and from the large windows in the living room. All worked out great for our group with accommodations and kitchen supplies. The location is beautiful tho I’m glad we didn’t bring our own kayaks or paddle boards as it’s relatively steep getting down the steps to the water. Fun to walk on the beach when tide is if you don’t mind rocky barnicles. All in all we would recommend this home and definitely come back! ?

    This is a wonderful home with a beautiful view of the water and access to the beach. Be aware that it is a steep descent to the water from the house, and the current was pretty strong which made paddleboarding difficult. Overall, this property exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely recommend it.
