A dedicated bonus room with water views serves as the perfect yoga or meditation space.
Beach access and kayak launch are minutes away. Hiking and the Hansville Greenway trail start right at the gate.
Restore
Enjoy panoramic Sound and mountain views from every main living space. A fireplace for evening unwinding. A spacious deck overlooking the lawn and garden, with seating for eight facing the water. Resident hummingbirds, eagles, osprey, and the occasional deer make every morning feel like a wildlife sanctuary.
Sleep
Four distinct sleeping spaces for up to 8 guests, each thoughtfully designed:
Primary Suite: Queen bed with a personal patio overlooking the Sound. Wake to water light every morning. The adjacent bathroom features a bathtub with panoramic Sound views, a guest favorite.
Second Bedroom: Twin beds facing the garden. Perfect for kids or a pair of solo travelers.
Third Bedroom: Queen bed with its own separate entry. Ideal for guests wanting extra privacy.
Loft: A sun-drenched space with skylights, expansive Sound views, a queen bed, and room to spread out. Another guest favorite.
Nourish
A freshly renovated kitchen with a brand new 10-foot picturesque butcher block island, designed for wholesome, unhurried home cooking for a crowd. The house is group ready. With two separate kitchen areas, the main island for entertaining plus a second prep kitchen with a waterfall faucet and coffee station in the back, mornings never feel crowded. The dining table extends to seat eight, perfect for slow dinners with people you love. Step outside to the deck for al fresco dining under string lights facing the lush garden, or in the backyard with the Sound as your backdrop.

The Pearl is perched on a scenic waterfront bluff, offering panoramic views of Puget Sound. While there isn’t direct beach access from the property, several beautiful public beaches are just a 5 to 10 minute drive away, our favorites being Point No Point and Foulweather Bluff, both great for walking miles along the shore.
Point No Point County Park is about a 10 minute drive, home to the oldest lighthouse on Puget Sound, with parking right by the lighthouse or in the overflow lot a short walk out, leading to a beautiful shoreline walk.
Foulweather Bluff Preserve is less than 10 minutes away, where a gentle half-mile forest trail from the trailhead opens onto a long, peaceful sandy beach, and orcas, humpbacks, harbor seals, and river otters are sometimes spotted offshore.
20 minutes to Poulsbo, a charming Scandinavian waterfront town with cafes, bakeries, and boutiques.
Three ferry connections to Seattle: Bainbridge Island (35 min to downtown waterfront), Kingston Fast Ferry (40 min, passenger only), Washington State Ferry to Edmonds (30 min crossing).
One acre of private botanical garden, with resident hummingbirds, eagles, osprey, and the occasional deer.
Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, and the Cascades on the horizon.

OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE
PETS
The Pearl is dog-friendly and we’d love to welcome your pup. Dogs 20 lbs and under are covered by a pet fee of $45 per night.
Fees are calculated automatically at checkout based on your length of stay. If your dog is over 20 lbs or you’re bringing more than one, please send us a message before booking so we can confirm the fee.
Please share your dog’s breed and weight when you reserve so we know who to expect. All dogs should be house trained.
THE SETTING
Hansville sits at the tip of the Kitsap Peninsula, one of the most quietly spectacular corners of the Pacific Northwest. Far enough from the city to feel genuinely remote. Close enough to everything to feel free, not stranded. The neighborhood is peaceful and unhurried, you might spot a family out for an afternoon walk on horseback.
Three ferry routes put downtown Seattle within easy reach, whenever you’re ready for a day in the city: the Kingston Fast Ferry (40 minutes, passenger only, walk-on to Pier 50), the Bainbridge Island Ferry (35 minutes, vehicle and passenger, lands near Pike Place Market), or the Edmonds Ferry (30 minute crossing, ideal if you’re driving in). Come home each evening to the kind of quiet that resets everything.
A hiking trail runs directly from the property, facing a horse farm across the road. Mother Pearl sits between two of Puget Sound’s historic lighthouses: Skunk Bay Lighthouse (a private, federally commissioned light that has guided ships through these waters for generations) is your nearest neighbor. Point No Point Lighthouse, the oldest on Puget Sound, is a short drive north. Very few places in the Pacific Northwest can make that claim.
The Skunk Bay Lighthouse is strictly private, but its distinct red light adds quiet charm to our neighborhood on clear nights.
Cozy up by the fireplace and watch majestic bald eagles and ospreys soar above the Sound. This is the Pacific Northwest as it was meant to be experienced.
PLANNING YOUR STAY
The Pearl books quickly, particularly during summer. International and out-of-state guests are welcome to reserve up to 12 months in advance.
