Outdoor Space

Settle into the calm rhythm of waterfront living. Lounge on the deck, dine alfresco, or wander down to the beach below. Watch eagles glide overhead, launch a kayak as the sun sets, and let this space connect you to the water's edge.

Guests have full access to the entire home. Parking is available at the property.

Getting Around:

A car gets you everywhere here. Poulsbo's waterfront and "Little Norway" shops are about 10 minutes away; the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal is roughly 40 miles south — worth the trip for a day in Seattle.



Other Things to Note:

1- The home shares a wall with an attached owner's suite that has its own private entrance. Your rental is fully self-contained and private, with no shared interior spaces. The owners are quiet and respectful neighbors, though as with any attached home, occasional everyday sounds may carry between the two spaces. They also have a friendly dog you may hear from time to time

2- Driveway parking is available for up to 4 cars. Please do not park on the right side marked “Reserved for Caretaker.”

3- The upstairs game room/library features a low railing. For safety, parents must supervise children at all times when using this area.

4- Pets are welcome — up to 2 pets with a $150 per pet fee (or $300 total for two).

5- Like any nature-forward waterfront retreat, you may encounter the occasional insect or small critter — keeping doors and windows closed goes a long way.
