About this property

Top-Rated Waterfront Retreat Near Port Townsend

  • Location! Stunning Year-Round Views!

    Savor your morning coffee as the sun rises over Admiralty Inlet, then unwind with a glass of wine as the day draws to a close. It's easy to see why guests fall in love with magical Marrowstone Island—and return year after year.

    Welcome to an immaculate waterfront retreat where the tranquility of island living creates an unforgettable Pacific Northwest escape. Set on 1.2 acres with 100 feet of medium-bank waterfront, the home overlooks Admiralty Inlet, Whidbey Island, the Cascade Mountains, and, on clear days, Mount Baker and Mount Rainier. Guests often remark on the relaxing atmosphere, bald eagles soaring past the expansive picture windows at eye level, and the gentle rhythm of ships passing through Admiralty Inlet.
    Expansive picture windows fill the home with natural light and bring the waterfront indoors. Relax by the cozy gas fireplace, prepare meals in the fully equipped kitchen, or gather around the dining table as boats glide through Admiralty Inlet. Three inviting bedrooms, each overlooking the water, and two full bathrooms provide a comfortable retreat, while private patios invite you to slow down and enjoy the fresh sea air.

    Book with confidence. Marrowstone Beach House is one of the area's few legally permitted Jefferson County vacation rentals (Permit ZON2022-00029)—a reflection of our commitment to providing an exceptional guest experience.

    Quiet country roads wind through forests of towering evergreens to peaceful beaches, where nature sets the pace and everyday cares fade away. Explore Fort Flagler State Park, kayak the shoreline, hike scenic trails, visit charming Port Townsend, or simply embrace the slower rhythm of island life.

    Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a peaceful retreat, Marrowstone Beach House offers an unforgettable Pacific Northwest experience. We look forward to sharing this special place with you.

Lovely, cozy home with an incredible view. The entire property is like a forest retreat with little seating areas and places to gaze out at the water. Everything is comfortable and well stocked. The house lives bigger than the square footage with a place for everything. Very clean and welcoming. Jenny was very helpful and easy to contact.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We had a fantastic weekend stay! The property is super cozy and super clean and has sweeping views from Mt. Baker to Mt. Rainier. There is a lot of beach exploring to do on the island, and with Port Townsend just a short drive, you can also find some nice dining and night life options. Highly reccommended!

Cozy Getaway

This was a perfect home for our winter family getaway. We enjoyed sitting in the living/dining area around the fire looking at the view of Puget Sound and marine traffic. We also explored the nearby beach, Fort Flagler and Port Townsend. The home was clean, kitchen well equipped, beds comfortable and private.

This cozy house is nestled in the trees in the back with the front yard open to a spectacular view. The neighbor houses on each side are mostly hidden from view and were very quiet. The gas fireplace on the stone hearth added to the charm. The kitchen and bathrooms are well appointed. There are lots of things to do within driving distance. It's a great place for a peaceful getaway. Would have loved to stay longer!!

Beautiful property and a magical area. The house was perfect -super well equipped, clean etc- except lack of more than 1 queen size beds made it so other couples couldn’t join us.

Great place, the two twin beds are not suitable for tall people. Their feet extended out over mattress. Would like to recommend they put in one more queen bed. Knowing from other reviews they were limited on silverware we brought our own and it worked out well. The house is the best we have stayed in in the immediate area.

Family Vacation on Marrowstone

What a stunning location! We were looking for a unique place to spend time with our grown kids, their spouses, and dogs. We certainly found it at this house in Nordland. The house and property had everything we needed to settle in and enjoy one another’s company. The yard overlooking the ocean was a great pace to sit and relax; what a great find! We look forward to returning.

Perfect weekend!

The home was cozy with a well-appointed kitchen, beautiful panoramic views of water activities of cruise ships, ferries, even a submarine coming into Port Flagler. The property was great for watching sunsets and outdoor meals. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms in great shape. Access to the beach was convenient. Beautiful neighborhood. Easy drive to Port Townsend, the Cidery and Marrowstone winery for wine tasting. A group of 5 friends enjoyed every single minute of the weekend. We’d stay there again.

Such a lovely place!

The view is stunning and the property is large and beautiful. The shipping traffic on Admiralty Strait is fun to watch all day long. The beach is a 5 minute walk and a great place for kids to entertain themselves. There are many places to explore, hike and bike ride such as Fort Flagler State Park and nearby Port Townsend. The house has everything you need and very comfortable beds. There is a great selection of games and movies for the evening hours. We have stayed here twice and will keep coming back!

Marrowstone Island Delight

The property was everything we had hoped for and more. We delighted in sitting in the living room when it was storming outside just watching life go by on the San Juan se Fuca and Admiralty Bay. We fell in love with the area and enjoyed the local restaurants. We also purchased wonderful groceries at the QFC and prepared our own meals several nights. We hope to have an opportunity to return to the area soon and would definitely contact Jenny to see if her lovely home is available again.

Very comfortable house with a Million $ view

The house was perfect for us. We are avid birdwatchers and saw many species from the back window. The view is unbeatable and the beach access is just a short walk away. love the wooded lot. The kitchen was well appointed and the gas fireplace was lovely. The only thing that I can see that might be an issue is that the bed in the master bedroom is very high. Like up to my armpits. They provided a step stool but if you have mobility issues, it might be a problem. luckily, there are 2 other beds to choose from . And they seemed a more normal hieight. All in all, would definetly rent again.
