Secret Island Getaway- Private Beach, Boats, Kayaks & guest only Seafood Farm
Sunset Lagoon Retreat, with guest only Seafood Farm, is located on a private island in the Puget Sound of Washington. Enjoy your own private beach, boat dock, oyster filled lagoon, and spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains, all framed in a different sunset every evening. With the lagoon, dock & beach in your backyard there are unlimited outdoor activities to experience without leaving your retreat. Where else can you relax all day on your own private beach or take a leisurely kayak ride around your island, and then grab some fresh live oysters, clams or mussels for dinner, from your own private lagoon and seafood farm? This is truly a seafood loverâs dream. We have spent so much time and effort making Sunset Lagoon a unique place to live our lives, we decided to make it available for others to enjoy as well. Now you too can enjoy what others only dream of in your own separate 1200 sq. ft. of secured downstairs living area, at the Sunset Lagoon Retreat and guest only Sea Food Farm, with your own private entry and covered deck. Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and families. Come experience what you have always dreamed about all year round at your own private island getaway. By the way; if youâve never chucked an oyster or dug for clams we would be happy to show you how, Just Ask!
Dont think twice. Just book it. If youre looking for that *island getaway* this is it. Firepit,bbq, friendly small island community. Youre own private seafood lagoon. Endless amounts of clams/mussels and oysters. Bring the ingredients, gorge on the shellfish.
This place is so magical and such a unique experience you wonât find elsewhere! My husband and I enjoyed a much needed weekend getaway at this place, where we were able to relax, eat all the oysters, clams, and mussels we could possibly consume, and kayak on the sound. We saw seals and ospreys during our 1.5 hour kayaking journey around the entire island! The space itself was perfect for the two of us, but could definitely accomodate a few more if needed. The views were incredible! We loved being able to look out at the water while eating dinner AND from our bed in the morning! More importantly, Dale and Carol were the best hosts! We donât often stay at places where the hosts are present, but these two are so sweet, welcoming, and beyond helpful. They were always available when we needed them but also gave us privacy. It was the perfect balance! We will definitely be returning for future getaways. Thanks again, Dale & Carol! :)
Stop reading this review just book it. The hosts are genuinely amazing people and the property is everything you dream of and more. I honestly couldn't have had a better time and will definitely return and recommend to everyone who will listen.
Beautiful quiet setting with gracious and helpful hosts.
Appreciated the adventure of the private fish farm and with help from the host, we dug clams, mussels, and oysters.
Highly recommend this stay to those who want a private getaway with your partner or family! Dale and Carol are friendly and thoughtful hosts. Their place is beautiful, inside and out! The seafood is amazing! The walk to a nearby beach was nice. We also had a couple deer stop by to feed on some carrots we brought with us!
The property is beautiful. The owners have thought of everything and provided for you. The owners are very friendly and there to help but unobtrusive. The seafood farm experience was great. There were lots of oysters, clams and mussels. Plus the mountain and Puget Sound views create a very relaxing experience. This was one of our best stays ever. If you like the outdoors you will love it. Just note there are 55 steps to the beach and some are steep and occasionally wet.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The setting was beautiful, our hosts, Dale and Carol, were very welcoming and helpful, and the house contained everything we could possibly need. The icing on the cake was being able to harvest clams, mussels, and oysters for our meals. We would highly recommend this place to any of our friends!
Carol & Dale deserve every bit of their high praise. Genuinely kind and thoughtful people who while respectful of your privacy make their availability and helpfulness clear. We got an oyster shucking lesson from Dale. Their generosity is as abundant as the clams and oysters they tend and offer you freely. Everything you need to know for your stay is in their very organized notebook. The place was much larger than we thought from the images and very clean, comfortable and tasteful. Beautiful setting and huge windows to enjoy it all. Lovely visit. Thank you both so much!
Our stay in February was more than advertised. Dale and Carol made everything easy and are super friendly. The property was spacious, clean and comfortable. The view is incredible and the shellfish abundant. We walked the whole island in a couple hours and got a sense for the community. Beautiful spot.
I canât say enough good things about our stay and experience with Dale and Carol. They are super sweet, graciously generous, amazingly accommodating; always kindly available but not intrusive. Just all around superb hosts.
I wish I could keep this place secret so we can keep it all to ourselves, and protected, but all good things must be shared :) .
The clams, mussels, and oyster farm was 5 Star quality and my wife and I had fun foraging for our nightâs dinner. Dale and Carol provided everything you need from instructions on how to forage, recipes, and even provided a few simple ingredients we forgot to pack. The sea bounty at Sunset Cove fed us with memorable meals throughout our weekend, and we could not ask for anything better.
We already booked our next stay!!
Thank you so much, Dale & Carol
When looking into this place, I had wondered why the Millers had a cumulative average 5.0 from all the reviewers. Now I understand why. Dale and Carol were great, very hospitable, available to help. The place was as advertised, no disappointing surprises. The setting and views were peaceful and pretty. The shellfish were great. We ate butter clams, mussels, and oysters. We also enjoyed seeing and feeding the deer that came onto the lawn in the evening. Our small dogs, 12# and 14# cockapoos, enjoyed the walks and beach. They were too small to take the stairs to the beach, as it is quite steep, but a public path to the beach is nearby. We stayed three nights. We will be back.
Dale and Carol were the best host we have ever had in our travels, there property is Ten Star.
Some of the best people I have ever met in my life, we will make this a two to three time a year trip to there property, Clean , well kept place. And the neighbors were awesome as well. This is a lovely place to take your family. We had the best time for our anniversary. Thank you both you are amazing people.
I absolutely love this property! So relaxing and yet there are plenty of activities to keep folks busy. Kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, clamming, beach combing, deer feeding, Orca spotting (yup, we spotted some) and so much more. Not for parties or loud group though. Love the owners.
This is our familyâs favorite place to stay for a relaxing weekend getaway! This is our third time visiting and we always love it here. The view of the Puget Sound is beautiful, home is clean and very comfortable and we love having access to the kayaks and paddle board. Itâs a perfect place to unwind in nature. Thanks to Dale and Carol for another lovely weekend. We look forward to visiting again!
Carol was very helpful in answering all my questions before our stay, and she kept us updated any time the ferry schedule changed. Her and Dale were very welcoming when we arrived and gave us the lay of the land - we immediately felt right at home! There were so many fun activities to choose from - paddle boat, kayaks, row boat, SUPs, exploring the island. My kids especially enjoyed the tree swing, feeding the deer and going to the park! We enjoyed coffee in the quiet mornings, meals on the deck, and beautiful sunsets in the evening. Amazing view of the Sound and mountain range! Dale and Carol showed us how to dig for clams, clean/prepare them, cook them, and even how to shuck oysters! We had a wonderful couple days, and I canât wait until we can come back!
This property is a little different because the owners live above the rental. They were a great combination of very helpful and respectful of our privacy. Our daughter and grandkids ages 3 and 5, were there for a short time. It was fun for them but my daughter was concerned about the long stairs and the deep water etc. She didnât find it restful. Maybe be better for some older children. The beach was very nice and we swam though a little chilly but refreshing. It was in the 90âs a couple of times and the AC was great. The room area is very nice and modern. Very comfortable bed. My husband also did some fishing off the shore. And we tried the shell fish which was fun. Oh and orcas and dolphins were seen off the beach. I definitely would recommend.
There were many new beautiful additions to the home decor, very quaint. And the view, OMG! As far as the eye could see. The clam digging was super easy and fun and when the tide was low the beach stretched on forever and revealed many hidden treasures. The deer and fawn grazing just added to the charm.
Carol and Dale were very kind and showed us how to harvest clams and oysters. They also gave us an onion when we realized we needed one for the clam chowder. They also had a very adorable german shepherd who was so well behaved and gentle. Overall it was a fun experience. 10/10 would stay again.
Everything about this place is warm and welcoming. Amazing location, with awesome views of Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains. Even getting there is part of the adventure. Accommodations were extremely clean with a comfortable large bed, recessed lighting, and fireplace to set the mood. Dale and Carol your care and attendance to what we needed made our anniversary weekend something to remember. Thank you so very much! We highly recommend this rental.
What a perfect place for a little getaway! Dale and Carol are amazing hosts, very friendly and accommodating. The seafood is fun and easy to harvest, not to mention delicious. Even the weather was perfect for us.
