Oceanfront Garden Oasis/Mt.Rainier & Sound Views

Welcome to the Whale's Tale where you'll find the perfect balance of nature and comfort. Less than an hour drive from the Seattle metro area, let the hustle of city life slip away as you settle into your serene new surroundings. This updated 3,400 square foot home, set on nearly 18,000 square feet of waterfront land, offers ample space inside and out. Perched high above tranquil waters of the Puget Sound with views of Mt. Rainer, Raft Island and so much more, you'll feel immediately embraced by the beauty of nature.

The airy living, kitchen and dining areas provide plenty of room for everyone to relax in style, featuring hardwood floors, cozy bay window seating, skylights, and tasteful décor. Admire the stunning Pacific Northwest scenery through wide windows, or slide open a glass door to experience the sweeping views firsthand. As night falls, switch on the electric fireplace to enhance the cozy vibes and curl up with a good movie or book.

The balcony and deck overlook a beautiful garden with outdoor dining, a fire pit area and Henderson Bay, offering perfect spectator seating to watch friends and family toss a Frisbee, soak up the sun, or spot some orca whales.

With three inviting bedrooms, an office with a queen sized sleeper sofa, three full bathrooms, a half bath/powder room, and spacious living and dining areas, The Whale’s Tale comfortably accommodates up to nine guests. The master bedroom features direct balcony access, skylights, and a private ensuite bathroom.

The kitchen is a cook’s dream, boasting bay views, an open layout, large island, induction cooktop, granite counters and every cooking utensil one could ever need.

Create your own Whale Tale:
Ideally situated between downtown Seattle, Olympia, and the Olympic National Forest (each approximately an hour's drive away), this location offers easy access to a variety of attractions that will help you create your own "whale of a tale" to share with friends back home.

Local Seafood Delights:
Some of Seattle’s best oysters are farmed in this area and available at Minter Oyster Company, less than a mile away. They also offer fresh crab, mussels, clams and shrimp for a seafood feast. Additionally, you can visit the Minter Creek Salmon & Fish Hatchery to learn about salmon conservation efforts.

Beach Access:
Access to the beach is a quick 5 minute walk from the house, at the front of the neighborhood, through a locked gate. (The key is provided at the house.)
