Waterfront Cottage, The Captains Cabin is a romantic, remote spot in the PNW.

A quiet romantic waterfront home is the perfectly positioned on Pickering Passage of the Puget Sound. Famed Walkers' Landing looks across the water at Harstene Island, the view is a constant changing drama unfolding on this body of water, named after a naturalist on a Wilkes expedition. Pickering Passage flows past the mouths of Hammersley Inlet, Totten Inlet, and Eld Inlet. It is a nutrient rich area, producing oysters that grow rapidly. Come enjoy the view from the bank of Abbondanza, a property designed by artist Ray Turner, graduate of Stadium HS in Tacoma. Attending college in Washington. Oregon and California, undergraduate for four years. The next four years at Art Center College of design where he taught after graduation for many years. Enjoy the view from 34 windows and doors in the Captain's Cabin a cedar sided exterior, wrapped in pine from floor to ceiling inside. The 1950's table and chairs in the breakfast nook, boast a great view, with a fully equipped Kitchen, with retro style appliances, to compliment the beautiful barn lights, antique fixtures, and chandeliers. All the lights are on dimmers setting a romantic interior when the sun goes down. The outdoor lighting sets a mood as well as guides you to the fire pit or railing to sit under the stars and look at the sound. The bedding is all cotton, with a goose down comforter and cotton quilts. The pillows are high quality goose down. There are decks off the kitchen and master bedroom, to enjoy the sunrise, sunset and all the wonders the passage has to offer. The natural stone staircase and gravel paths will take you to the wooden railed staircase access to the beach, where you can kayak, windsurf, paddle board, fish, whatever you like to do on the water. After your water sports, or walk along the gravel beach, go up take a hot outdoor shower, soak in the claw foot tub, take a sauna, or do all three. Abbondanza is difficult to describe, it has bountiful sea life, always common to see any number of birds, including bald eagles. It is quiet, peaceful, and has an effect on you that will make you wish you could stay longer, wanting more. The sauna is a favorite building where you can enjoy a warm eucalyptus infused relaxing space. Then take a hot outdoor shower overlooking the Sound. Rock away an hour on the master deck in teak rocking chairs with your favorite evening drink. Welcome!
