With 155 ft of low bank waterfront enjoy panoramic views from of the Puget
Sound against the backdrop of the Olympic Mountains from this mid-century
modern designed and outfitted home on quiet and private Raft Island located an
hour south of Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
This beautiful mid-century modern style home comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests
with its 3 bedrooms. Bedroom one has a King-sized bed, bedrooms two and three
each have Queen bed and there is a large reclinable couch in the living room
that can sleep one an average adult. There are 3 bathroom, 2 with shower. The
kitchen is equipped with pots and pans, knife set and ample plates, bowls and
silverware with a dining area with table and chairs for enjoying a homecooked
meal.
Fortunate guests can catch a sight of a pod of Orcas or even gray whales from
the privacy of the expansive main deck, lower deck or hot tub spa. Blue herons
and bald eagles are nearly daily sights. 155 feet of the property's low bank
waterfront with Adirondack chairs are yours to relax on or to explore the
beach at low tide. Raft Island's quiet roads are perfect for strolls or rent
paddle boards that are delivered to to you from Deadman's Kayak SUP and
explore historical Deadman's Island a stone's throw away. Less than a fifteen-
minute drive brings you to quaint downtown Gig Harbor where you can visit art
shops, enjoy local beers and fare at the historic Tides Tavern, or rent sea
kayaks and paddle boards to ply its waters. Gig Harbor's Uptown provides
several entertainment and restaurant options, and further exploration of the
Key Peninsula areas offers opportunities to taste world class oysters from
nearby Minterbrook Oyster Farms or further afield on Hood Canal. Raft Island
House awaits those seeking a restful, soul regenerating getaway.
Summer Note: There is no central A/C, but a portable 10,000 BTU A/C unit is
setup in the dining room/common area that cools and vents the warm air
outside.
Families or adults 25 year and older only. No parties or noisy activity
allowed as island has noise restrictions. Please note parking at local dock
near bridge are for local residents only with passes. Please note the house
is on a septic system: no grease or food down the drains, only toilet paper
in the toilets. Be mindful of steps to beach and bulkhead rock steps to water
as they get slippery when it has rained (hold onto rails or other boulders).
Note that shellfish on the shores around our island are not monitored by the
State for toxins and there have been cases of shellfish poisonings from
norovirus and vibrio found in oysters consumed off our beach.
**Do not eat oysters here but you can go to Taylor Shellfish Farms or
Minterbrook Oyster Company. During summer dry periods small fires in the
enclosed firepit on your beach is ok as long it does not produce sparks and
embers through the grates.**
Please note there is a motion-activated outdoor security camera located at the
NW corner of the garage. Recordings may or may not be reviewed and are deleted
after guest checkout. There is no access into the garage.
