About this property

Phenomenal Sunsets, Wild Orca & Private Beach

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.

"Great cute little home on the water. Good location and perfect for our Mother’s Day weekend getaway. The outdoor sitting area is laid out perfectly. We had a great time playing games and enjoying the sunsets." - Tony

The place has great amenities and is relaxing. Make sure to bring really sturdy water shoes because there are plenty of barnacles to scratch up your feet.

Great little escape

We had a nice short stay on a cold rainy January weekend. Nothing beats warming yourself infront of a fire while looking out over the water! Great spot. House was clean and had all the essentials. The beach access was a hit with both our 4 year old and our dog!

Lisa's place is super clean, super comfortable and has neat maritime decor. Everything works, the house is easy to settle in to and the privacy and grounds are amazing. It is a little remote, so we came prepared with groceries and had a great retreat.
