Marrowstone Island Beach Cabin

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

If serenity, the sound breeze, and some much-needed seclusion are what you are after, there is no better place than Marrowstone Island Beach Cabin! This getaway is a mix of rustic charm and natural beauty boasting sweeping views of the Puget Sound from the spacious back deck, you will have no trouble slipping into relaxation with a glass of wine or your favorite cocktail in hand while listening to the sound of lapping water in the distance. Though everyone will be drawn to the outdoors, any downtime spent inside will be just as enjoyable with the amazing vaulted ceilings, natural light, and spacious layout that is ready to accommodate the whole family. When everyone builds up an appetite, simply hop into the full kitchen and make some homemade comfort food for the whole gang before breaking out some board games at the dining table. Not to mention, the two TVs and a new couch can come in handy for a movie night with the whole gang before dozing off in one of the two perfect bedrooms. A new heating and cooling system allows you to sleep in comfort no matter your preferred temperature. Free WiFi is available, making working remotely easy if the need arises.

Perched on the northern end of Marrowstone Island, you will have plenty of peace and quiet. When you want to venture out a bit, you won't have to go far for a day of hiking and sightseeing, as Fort Flagler Historical State Park is just a mile from your front door. Head to the southern portion of the island and you will find a local general store to stock up on needs, a trail to the beach to spend warm afternoons on, and even a local vineyard to indulge in wine tasting. There is also a boat launch and kayaks for rent on the island if you are feeling adventurous. Fine dining and charm are only 19 miles away in historical Port Townsend. Play 18 holes at the Port Ludlow Golf Course only about 20 miles away.

The location and home was great. Saw deer and herons on the property. No mosquitoey was fantastic. Only thing that was a concern was some of the carpets were stained or dirty. I took pictures in case I was going to be charged but not too concerned. If you have a chance it is a nice be place to stay. Thank you

Nice but the mosquitoes were a BIG problem.
The property inside was clean and beautifully furnished. The sunset views were amazing! The couches were so comfortable and large enough to nap on, which I did. The huge problem is the mosquitoes. There appears to be a large amount of standing water in the backyard with algae growing on top and mosquitoes everywhere. They greeted us as soon as we arrived onto the property flying around our vehicle. I appreciate the 3 different bug sprays. I did use them when I walked to the beach, but it was a pretty unpleasant walk swatting mosquitoes left and right. We did not attempt to sit outside on the deck--although it was so inviting. But bug sprays are not enough, the standing water should be drained in the backyard to really tackle this issue. If that is not possible, mosquito dunks should be placed in the standing water on a regular basis to kill the larvae. And adding bat boxes to eat the rest. We did see a bat flying around but much more are needed to eradicate the problem. This is the reason for the 3-star overall rating.

Clean and well kept, we enjoyed the stay. Spent a lot of our time on the deck enjoying the fine view. The mosquitoes were rough but we figured that out. A couple minor critiques would be that the towels could be a bit nicer and pillows could use replacing.

We were looking for a place to relax and unwind for a few days and found this place. Quiet and serene. We loved watching all the birds on the water and had a special surprise with deer one evening. We will keep this place as a favorite.

Not really worth the $
The "beach" is pretty much unusable. The housekeeper left her little letter probably expecting a tip but we had to clean a lot of yucky stuff. There was nastiness behind the microwave, brownish-red thick liquid. The house smelled of old cigarettes. There was cereal in the crevices around the blocked-off fireplace. There is what appears to be nicotine running down the skylight in the main bathroom. there was literally an inch of dust under the bed in the first-floor bedroom and an old pill bottle covered in dust as well. You are charged a cleaning fee, told to clean before you leave and you are left cleaning stuff that was there a LONG time before you ever got there. I have photos of all of this if anyone is interested in seeing them.

Beachcombing delight
Property is accurately accommodating and as described online. We had a tad bit of trouble with keyless entry as batteries may be dying. Agency was quick to reply to text about back up keys. We selected this location for beachcombing at Glass Beach in Port Townsend and at Fort Flagler. Found our largest pieces of glass right out on beach by cabin! Downstairs shower is perfect!

Lovely property, just stay off the unbeaten psth
Cozy and clean property. Nicely stocked kitchen with all the small appliances you could need (toaster, microwave, mixer). Only thing missing is an iron and ironing board, which is a small fix. Plenty of towels and linens. Only complaint is that the path to the beach is not a path. Trudged through knee high grass to get to wooden boardwalk, and when the boardwalk ended, path was unclear and treacherous. Stepped on a log, which collapsed and I almost broke an ankle. Had to turn around and never actually was able to make it to the beach, which was one of the reasons for renting the house. Path needs to be maintained and definitely built out after where the current boardwalk ends.

It was…fine
The location great and views were spectacular. The house was not entirely clean, dirty dishes and mystery stick under the kitchen table. The worse part was the smell. The couch was obviously a smokers couch at some point and had been covered up with fabric odor remover. The sink too had the smell of a neglected good trap. The house was obviously intended to be a vacation house and is cared for as such. We decided we would have stayed here over a hotel, but have stayed in better vacation rentals. Destination, views, and peaceful getaway made up for most of the downside.

Disappointed
From the time we walked into this house and got clobbered by the very musty odor, to the time you leave, you keep discovering the fact that this place has not been thoroughly cleaned for a very long time. Heavy layers of dust in too many places. The worst moment was when we lifted a cushion of the living room sofa. We couldn't believe how much food was under it!! It apparently had been accumulating for a long time. Combined with 2 ancient toilets that struggled to flush, and you have a rental property we won't be seeking to returnn to.

The best vacation.. EVER.
Booked this adorable place for a weeks' stay to attend a USCG retirement party for some friends. Enjoyed EVERY moment. The house was adorable with gorgeous views of the water and mountains, perfectly clean, and had everything we needed (except for laundry- was dismayed to find I had overlooked that was missing!) Close to nature, walks on the private beach and sand dollars were found everywhere. Wildlife was plentiful and loaded blackberry bushes lined every road I traveled. It was a PacNW paradise, you MUST book this house!

Nellie & Cappy A., Mercer Island, WA

Exploring Marrowstone
A comfortable house that was very nice for two couples. Comfortable beds, nice bathrooms with ample towels, etc. (this house does not have washer or dryer) and well stocked kitchen utensils, etc. Could use a bit of cleaning around the edges as several dead flies in the window sills and corners and could use some sweeping around the decks/stairs. Windows on the view side of the property appear fairly new, but they could use a good washing to really enjoy the view/sunsets. Even with nice summer weather, cooler nights being near Juan de Fuca Strait so an extra blanket would be nice. House could use an extra blanket or two. Decent access to beach but signs posted on beach limit one to just stay within property limits all the way to low tide line. A bit restrictive that way. Fort Flagler State Park nearby is a nice amenity which gives one much more beach to roam. Having Port Townsend near is also a nice amenity. NOTE TO OWNER: On the second day of our seven-day stay we discovered the back door could not be secured. Bolt and face plate in the door jamb not lined up properly. The whole door and jamb looked warped or something. We immediately notified Vacasa of the issue. Said they would send someone out the next day (Wednesday). Two days after not hearing from Vacasa I sent a second inquiry. Finally talked with a person that said someone would call me when on the way. That was a Friday. We left three days later on Monday and never heard from Vacasa nor saw a repair person. We rented a Vacasa-managed property last month (June). Reported a safety-related issue with the house. Same result. Vacasa never sent anyone to the property to remedy the issue during our 7-day stay. Unfortunately, the Vacasa experience tainted our stay and over-all rating.
