Beach house on the bay with pickleball court

MODERN AND COZY CABIN ON THE BEACH

2 beds 1 bath Sleeps 6
Comfortable modern family home on 8+ acres with large kitchen, cosy living room with tv, piano, klos guitar and ukulele. Game room with ping pong and fooseball and a pickleball court. Hot tub on deck, swings of all sorts and 400+ feet of waterfront to explore. There are 2 paddle boards, 1 row boat, 2 single kayaks a double kayak and a canoe to enjoy the bay. During summer and fall, you can enjoy ripening blackberries, huckleberries, and mulberries. There is a herb garden and mint for fresh mint tea, and you can use vegetables from the garden for cooking. Fall Hazelnuts are also available to gather. It's a race with the squirrels.

Come enjoy the experience of a lifetime in a warm, cozy beachfront property situated on Historic Anderson Island. This unique retreat embodies the spirit of the Pacific Northwest beginning with a beautiful ferry ride. Once on the island, you’ll drive 5-minutes through wooded country roads to a private 8+ acre property with 400+ feet of waterfront, tucked away on Amsterdam Bay. The home itself has been beautifully updated and was designed for a cozy gathering of family or friends. The large deck and hot tub provide unmatched views of the bay while the row boat and paddle boards will give the adventurous an up close and personal wildlife experience. For those looking to cozy up with a good book or show, there is a beautiful living area with large windows and comfortable leather couches. For the cook inside you, enjoy the modern appliances indoors for a savory breakfast, get out the deck grill for a hearty lunch, or build a fire on the beach for a truly authentic outdoor experience.


If the property itself isn’t enough to keep you entertained, Anderson Island is an absolute treasure worth exploring with so many hidden gems scattered throughout.

Visit the quaint island general store and cafe on your way to the property to pick up necessary ingredients and any cravings to make the stay even more enjoyable.

Don’t miss the island swimming hole on Florence Lake for warm days! Make a day out of it by bringing a picnic for the afternoon or go for a quick dip to cool off. Bring along the paddle board or canoe to lengthen the stay and explore the water. The lake has roped off areas for small children, a dock in the middle for the big kids and adults to slide down and jump off. Finish off with a game of sand volleyball. Tan on the sandy beach while the kids swim to their heart’s content and build sandcastles by the lake.


Anderson Island also offers the Riviera Community Club for a unique round of golf. The golf course offers a well-maintained 9-hole golf course along with the Riviera Lakeshore restaurant for a delicious meal afterward. A fun way to take a break and bond together as friends and family.

This island property offers an unmatched, one-of-a-kind Pacific Northwest experience. Get away from the rat race of life and enjoy island living; bring your family and friends to this piece of paradise and leave with priceless memories worth talking about for a lifetime.

This was perfect for a quick 2 night new years visit. We enjoyed the game room, pickleball court and hot tub! Not much to do on the island but that's what we wanted, somewhere quiet to enjoy with the kids! Would love to come back in the summer.

Our family really enjoyed the quiet beauty of this amazing water-front location. The accommodations were fantastic and clean, and the amenities (hot tub, pickle ball court, games, ping pong, canoe, row boat, rope swing) provided for lots of fun and great memories. The hosts are wonderful to communicate with as well! Highly recommend!

Prefect. The photos in the listing are great but the property is even more impressive in person. There were lots of activities to do onsite. The waterfront view is amazing.

We had so much fun out on the water raft in the bay and swimming in the lake that’s a 5 min drive away! The kitchen and BBQ are great-we ate out on the deck spotting wildlife each night! Thank you for sharing your wonderful place with us once again!

We just returned from our second trip at Merlene's house, and it was just as good as our first experience. We love the calm and serene setting on Amsterdam Bay! There are so many activities to do on the property, that you really don't even need to leave. Some of our favorite activities include: looking for crabs on the shore, finding wildlife in the Puget Sound, using the rope swing up the hill, and picking blackberries. It is a great place if you have children, or if you just want some peace and quiet. We are already planning our trip again for next summer.

My family enjoyed a cozy, snowy winter stay! Such s gorgeous spot with plenty of fun activities for the whole family and gorgeous views! The water is so clear and calm so we will look forward to a warmer month stay too. The owner is so kind and communicative. A south puget sound gem!

This family home is situated on a small orchard and had activities to keep our little family busy for over a week! A pickleball court, kayaks, a canoe, ping pong, fusbol, a hot tub, endless grass, a garden and an orchard! One of the cleanest homes we've ever stayed in and had an amazing kitchen. We had campfires at the waters edge nearly every night! We can't wait to return for another stay!

The property is beautiful and will not disappoint, we really enjoyed our stay. From dipping our toes in the water looking for crabs, throwing rocks with our toddler, kayaking, making campfires at night and watching the sunset, this place has it all for a relaxing getaway and is perfect for families. They have a wonderful play structure for young kids and a game room for older kids and parents. You and your family will have a wonderful time here.

What a wonderful lake house retreat! Owner met us at property upon check in. So many fantastic amenities for the whole family. We enjoyed the canoe and kayak, pickleball court, ping pong table etc. If I had any complaints it would be the tubes inside the BBQ out back were rusted and cracked open so flame wasn't well controlled. House was very musty due to age. Overall we had a very nice trip. Thank you.

We so enjoyed our stay at the beach house. My toddler exhausted himself everyday playing on the swings, collecting seashells, and splashing pebbles into the bay. His grandparents enjoyed the sunsets, cozy blankets on the deck, and beautiful landscaping. The island also has well groomed walking paths and hiking trails perfect for families. We’re already checking our calendars for the next time we can all get together at the beach house.

This has been our go to place on the island for the last 3 years. We have made many memories and look forward to many more at this property. Merlene is an amazing hosts and always has everything you could need on the property. She is always easily reached if need be or if we have any questions. If you want to stay at a place where you can just relax and enjoy nature and peace and tranquillity, this is the place! Wake up so a beautiful view overseeing the water and breathing fresh air! We look forward to many more stays at “our happy place”.

VRBO should have a property listing attribute to the effect of "grandparents spoil their families at this property"! Plenty of activities for the youngsters - new pickleball court, ping pong, foosball, kayaks, canoe... Some items are beginning to show their age (rowboat, beach chairs), but owners continue to invest in this property (new canoe, pickleball). We look forward to our next visit!

We loved this property! Can’t get a better view and one if the most well appointed kitchens ever!! Loved cooking fresh meals each day from the garden and using the cool flat top cool grill inside. The covered hot tub was so nice after a long day of kayaking. Merlene is wonderful and very attentive. We loved the welcome basket of goodies. Such a sweet touch. We can’t wait to come back next summer!!

Quiet. The key word here is "Peaceful". Watching the tide roll in and back out had an almost hypnotic effect on our little group. A profoundly curative influence that we will remember for a long, long time. Merlene and Loren have created an oasis that they should be very proud of. The sunsets were a delight. The house is a comfortable living space nestled beneath a huge shady tree. The amenities are top drawer. The kitchen is so well appointed that all of our expectations were surpassed. But the absolute shining feature of this lovely getaway is the peace and quiet. Good for whatever ails you! Thank You, Bruce, Laura & Rory

The property is beautiful. It has a lovely view and is perfect for nature watching. It is a waterfront property with lots of comfortable seating and swings. The home is immaculate and fully stocked and has a large kitchen for cooking and entertaining. There is plenty of comfortable seating and the beds have wonderful linens and are very comfortable. Marlene is a kind and friendly host. There are even fresh vegetables for your use. I highly recommend this property, it was difficult to leave.

We have stayed at many homes in the Puget Sound and this one by far is our new favorite! The grounds are large and comfortable offering everything a family could want - beach front, grass to play in, gardens and orchards to explore, playground, pickleball and so much more. Our family LOVES to cook and eat meals outside. The kitchen is large with multiple cooking tops, dishwashers, and large counter space. The deck was our favorite place to be! Sometimes the summer heat at other homes on the sound makes it hard to be outside in the afternoon, but the wonderful tree that grows next to the deck here offers amazing shade on the home and deck for every meal and an afternoon nap!

From the minute we entered the home we knew we had made a fantastic choice for our vacation rental! The inside with the considerably large kitchen, sunken living room with super soft carpet and cozy furniture was wonderful enough but then you open the class doors out to the shady deck and beautiful view of the water, enormous grass lawn and large swings for ridiculous relaxation! We knew we would be coming back to stay here again next year! In addition to the above mentioned there is a garden with fresh veggies to cook with in the beautiful kitchen and a indoor game room and outside of that a pickleball court which we loved, we had never played before but now are hooked. Deer in the yard, Bald Eagles, and adorable seals playing in the water complete a trip we will always remember.

We had a lovely stay. Traveling with a toddler, I appreciated that the playground is gated. Our kids had a great time on the playground (better than pictures!), swings all around the property and entertainment options available (foosball, water crafts, volleyballs, so much more!). The house was clean-- so much so that I didn't even feel the need to sanitize upon arrival as I often do in rentals. Our host was very gracious to come and deliver extra dish washer detergent pods. The kitchen is large, with great pots and pans to use (a rarity with rentals!). Two dishwashers is a cook's dream! The soft ice machine was my personal fav in the kitchen. Bring some flavored syrups and make snow cones! A few items to note for planning purposes-- you definitely want to bring all food items with you to the island. Waiting for the ferry can definitely add a decent amount of travel time, but there is ice cream and playgrounds at Steilacoom! The living room at the rental is sunken with a few steps. Overall, the views were amazing, access to water great. The property has plenty of activities onsite-- no need to leave unless you want to go explore other parts of the island. A lovely property and home and we will for sure return. Thank you so much!
