About this house rental
Enjoy phenomenal sunsets and wild orcas splashing in the bay, as you relish relaxing in the cabana, looking out over the water and letting go of all your cares. It just doesn’t get much better than this.
ABOUT CAPTAIN'S RETREAT
Located on the tips of Hammersley Inlet and Oakland Bay, Captain's Retreat is the perfect vacation spot, whether you prefer to relax or head out for adventures. Enjoy magnificent water views from the living room, the enclosed patio or the private beach cabana.
In the living room, you'll find comfortable couches and chairs, great for curling up with that book you've been looking forward to, as well as a wood fireplace to warm you and your companions up when the evenings are cool. If you're inclined, play a favorite movie on the flat screen television to round out your day.
Not only is there an enclosed patio with its own propane fire pit and water views, you'll also delight in the cabana nestled nearly on top of the water, with a propane barbeque and all ready for al fresco dining. And, down the stairs, closer the water, is another fire pit where you can end your evenings under the stars.

Very nice place with a great view. Beach access requires stairs (so be careful with grandparents or little kids) but offered great amenities. We stayed in Feb so mostly just enjoyed the view. Very well appointed with everything you could ever need in the kitchen and nice touches throughout.

My husband and I had such a lovely time here with our doggies. The place is Beautiful, both home and area. It was very quiet and spread out. A bit of a trek to get down the the water with the steps, but once we did it was a lovely private beach. There is a contract you must sign prior to finalizing everything. I’ve done this before and this was by far the simplest and more reasonable contract yet.
We loved spending time here and will definitely be back soon!

This home is clean, cozy and wonderful. They have done such a great job with this space. Really appreciate the attention to detail such as cleanliness, having nice stainless steel (big and small) pots and pans, adequate supply of both bath and kitchen cloth and paper towels, tidy space, etc. It's small but really comfortable. We came on a 90 degree day and the a/c kept the inside nice and cool, then, the refreshing ocean wind came in the early evening. We were surprised how wonderful it was outside when that wind came in on such a hot day. They have three options for outside space (covered and protected deck with a gas fire-pit), another deck a few steps away that is partially covered with a huge table and another fire pit partially down to the beach facing the water. The covered deck is lovely with glass panes so I imagine this is nice all year long. They do ask for the outside cushions to be brought in at night but I liked this because the outside cushions are well kept and not mildewy.
The only thing that I wish I would have known is that this property faces the industrial area of Shelton which is the mill. It really isn't a big deal but I wish I would have known in advance (probably should have taken a closer look at satellite images). But, during the day it really wasn't that noticeable. Kind of interesting actually. Wanted to let folks know that it's NOT a stinky area. It's just a mill and the air smelled ocean fresh. I still wish I would have known because at night the view is of the industrial lights. Some people may not mind those lights or if you plan to cozy up inside or on the covered deck with a fire and not stare out to the horizon, it's probably not a big deal. I can confirm the inlet is very quiet and peaceful. Just wish I knew in advance about the mill view. However, I would still highly recommend this property. The reviews are accurate that it is quiet, clean, peaceful, well stocked, comfortable, we loved our stay and the property is beautiful and well cared for. Also, nice privacy from the neighbors. You can't see the houses on either side due to the shrubbery. The owner is very responsive as well. I highly recommend this space.
