Anderson Island Luxury Beach Home. Kayak, HotTub, Paddle Board, Beachfront, View

Enjoy island life at its finest! You'll see more deer, eagles and seals than people. You won't be in close contact with anyone the entire time you're here. You'll be secluded on the eastern shore of Oro Bay on Anderson Island, about 90 minutes from Seattle. Enjoy the view and all the beauty the Puget Sound has to offer. Kayak, paddle board, beach comb, golf and experience some of the most amazing sunsets you'll ever see.

This secluded, spacious and sunny 2,500 square foot beach home, just steps from the beach, has everything you need to create memories to last a lifetime. Enjoy your time with friends and family and still have plenty of privacy when you want it.

There are two upstairs master bedroom suites. The South Suite has a king bed, vaulted ceilings, ensuite with a jetted tub. The North Suite has a queen bed and a single daybed, and ensuite. Both bedroom suites have flat screen TVs and private decks with spectacular ocean and island views. On the main level is a third bedroom with a queen sized bed. There is another full bath with washer and dryer also on the main level.

There's a cozy living room with a leather (sleeper) sofa and a very cozy sun room , both great for relaxing and enjoying the sunset or watching the 48" flat screen TV.

Our Anderson Island home has great Wi-Fi and Direct TV.

The fully equipped kitchen, kitchen bar and dining area open to the huge entertainment deck. On the deck you'll find a hot tub, propane grill, propane fire table and a complete set of patio furniture. Just a few steps to the beach where you'll have 3 kayaks and 2 stand up paddle boards at your service at no additional charge. The calm waters of Oro Bay make for some of the smoothest paddling you'll find anywhere. A short paddle across the bay brings you to Jacobs Point Park Marine Reserve with 82 acres of natural habitat and over a mile of pristine, undisturbed beach. This is the largest natural reserve in the entire Puget Sound. Expect to see our resident seals, heron, deer and eagles. More experienced paddlers can circle the island or head for nearby Ketron Island. If you're lucky you'll see the Orca and Humpback whales that frequently visit southern Puget Sound. If you'd like to bring your own boat we have a buoy right in front of the house.

Whatever you like to do, Anderson Island is a great place to do it. Many of our guests enjoy the natural beauty of the Puget Sound from the air-conditioned comfort of our home. If you feel more adventurous, there's lots to do on island. Golf at the Riviera Golf course and enjoy meals or drinks at the clubhouse restaurant overlooking Lake Josephine. Hike or bike the many parks and trials including Andy's Marine Park. Explore the many beaches of the island shores, bays and coves. Visit our local historical museum. Swim and fish in one of our 3 fresh water lakes including our famous "Old Swimming Hole" or take in a yoga class at our local community club studio. If you'd like to venture to the mainland, you'll find some great shops, restaurants, and spas in historical town of Steilacoom, all within walking distance of the mainland ferry dock. The Chambers Bay Golf Course, site of the 2015 U.S. Open, is just a few minutes drive from the Steilacoom ferry dock. 

Please note that there is a maximum occupancy in our home of 6 total guests (strict rule). Our base rate is calculated for 4 guests. For parties of 5 or more, we charge an additional $20/per guest/per night (including kids) even if they are not staying the entire visit.

Purchase groceries for your stay on the mainland in advance of catching the ferry to the island. There is a general store on the island with fairly limited grocery items like milk, bread, snacks, coffee, beverages, beer and wine.

Perfect summer getaway!
This property provides all the amenities necessary for a wonderful summer retreat with friends. We especially loved the hot tub, the outdoor seating area, and the serene views. However, the path to the beach is obstructed by overgrown weeds and thorns, which should be cleared to improve guest access. Additionally, the downstairs TV appears outdated and was challenging to operate. Despite these minor inconveniences, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful
The house is incredibly peaceful. It was very very clean and the kitchen is well stocked. The check in process felt somewhat cumbersome, and there were a lot of rules. However, we mixed up our check out date and consequently checked out late, which they were very nice about. It would be nice if they would just buy some towels for the Beach and hot tub rather than requiring that you bring them. But we slept well, watched beautiful sunsets, hiked all over the island and generally had a really lovely time at Donn and Betty's place. There aren't any board games so bring your own!

We had a great visit - the Anderson Island home was perfect for us. The house was very clean, quiet and located on the bay. We enjoyed cooking, hot tubbing, kayaking (spotted a couple of bald eagles), and just relaxing.

Beach getaway.
We enjoyed our stay. Views were great, deck needs a refresh, peeling paint. If you stay, bring water, tap water is yellow. Plenty of places to sleep. Could upgrade kitchen supplies, drinking wine our of a scratched plastic glass isn't near as fun as a clean glass wine goblet. Put off we had to bring our own towels for hottub.

Great Location Right on the Water
This house had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. All the house rules were clearly laid out ahead of time (which we greatly appreciated). The house is right on the water with only a short walk to get down to the beach. It was nice having access to the kayaks and SUPs. The hot tub was nice. The beds were comfortable. The towels and linens provided were good quality. We had some issues with a couple of the showers but the owners were great with communications and handled it appropriately. As others have mentioned, the driveway is quite steep but we were able to drive down to load/unload the car which made it manageable.

Wonderful Getaway
Beautiful comfortable home right on the beach. Kitchen has everything you need (even basic spices)! Plenty of space to relax Check in was seamless with their wonderful hostess meeting us right on time and showed us all we needed to know. Even though it rained all weekend we enjoyed the view and the hot tub and just relaxing! We can not wait to come back in the summer so we can walk on the beach and enjoy the deck. Some have complained about the house rules which we did not understand - Respect this house. Take off your shoes (we do at home anyway!) tossing sheets in the wash and towels in the basket is no big deal. One tip - there is NOTHING on the Isand. bring it all with you. other than bare bones basics at the mini market Anderson Island is residential ( OK there is a golf course with a restuarant and the little coffee shop by the mini mart was cue for a latte run) and QUIET and LOVELY.

Relaxing stay on Anderson Island
We had reserved this property in 2020, but cancelled because of COVID. I am so glad we decided to book again. The location (water view) and amenities (hot tub, gas fire pit and bbq, kayaks) made our stay very enjoyable. The wildlife was an added bonus, especially the nest of swallows.

Outstanding!!
Having seen some prior reviews that raised concerns about too many restrictions we were a little apprehensive. However, our experience was fantastic communication with the owners, the place was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, equipped with everything we could need and more, fantastic views- simply outstanding! There is a brand new hot tub which was wonderful. Prior comments said too many signs and rules in house- we have no idea where that came from. There’s a sign or two reminding users it is a septic tank system, and another asking no shoes in the house, but that is about it. Overall we wished we had stayed longer and absolutely loved the house and the experience. Getting to the island is easy and the on island store is really well stocked for whatever we needed. Mostly we sat on the huge decks and watched the view, walked on the beach, and curled up inside relaxing. Loved it!
