About this property

53’ PNW Yacht — L Y L A

  • The Lyla is a 53' custom boat built in 1968 in the Pacific Northwest. We offer you a stay unlike any other - step back into time for a maritime getaway. Sip your coffee and enjoy views of harbor seals, seagulls, and passing boats while docked at a historic maritime marina at Net Shed No. Fifteen.

    * We decorate for the holidays! *

    Dogs are allowed subject to restrictions and an additional fee. Please review our "House Rules" at the bottom of the page for more information.
    The space
    Before she retired, LYLA belonged to the Fluke Family of Bellevue. Every summer, spanning from 1968 to 2020, LYLA spent endless hours cruising the waters of the Puget Sound and beyond.

    The boat has recently been completely restored - here you will find quartz countertops and beautiful woodwork throughout. The interior boasts a beautiful salon and galley with views of the harbor in every direction. The pilothouse, or mid-ship, is outfitted with a wine fridge and cappuccino/espresso machine. In addition to these amenities, enjoy sweeping views of the harbor from above deck, BBQ and lounge on the many exterior decks (season permitting), and spend time kayaking around the harbor in our complementary kayaks.

    LYLA sleeps up to five people comfortably:

    - The Captain's Room: has one queen size bed and closet

    - The Bunk Room: has two extra long twin beds, bunk bed style

    - The Pilot House: has one extra long daybed
    Guest access
    We are available through vrbo for any questions - we live nearby so we can assist anytime!
    Other things to note
    *NOTE*

    By confirming a booking you accept the following responsibilities -
    Each person assumes full responsibility for their actions on the boat and around the dock. Life jackets are provided and to be worn at your own discretion.

    The netshed is not part of the listing. This is the property of the Marina owners only - using this space is a violation of house rules and will be a loss of security deposit.
