We have recently renovated this sweet seaside home to provide a place for families to come and reconnect and enjoy the beauty of Anderson Island. Anderson Island is the southernmost island in Puget Sound, just a short 20 minute ferry ride from the historic town of Steilacoom, Washington - about one hour South of Seattle. The home features a stunning view of Mt Rainier, a private setting, and a quiet gravel beach.
Enjoy your coffee on a beautiful deck while you watch the sunrise over Mt Rainier. Keep an eye out for bald eagles, seals, porpoise, and an occasional Orca that just might venture by. After breakfast, explore the gravel beach and collect sea shells and agates, write a poem, or read that book you've been meaning to get to. Perhaps you can take a short drive to one of the many island parks, explore one of the amazing hiking trails, or take a dip in the lake at the "old swimming hole."
Inside the home, you will find bright open spaces for family gatherings, a cozy propane stove, comfy couches to curl up on and watch your favorite movie. The home is tastefully decorated in with a fresh costal farmhouse feel, featuring our personal photographs from around the island. Upstairs are two bedrooms tastefully appointed, both with new queen mattresses and plenty of comfy pillows and comforters for snuggling. A full bath and laundry room are also upstairs.
There is a well equipped open kitchen, dining table with seating for six and an eating bar so the whole family can gather and enjoy the sites and smells and remember what it is like to be a family together again!
Downstairs, a large walk out basement with view features a separate small kitchen, television/living room with a brand new sleeper sofa, and a third large bedroom with a king bed and twin daybed with a pull out second twin bed. There is a second bath downstairs as well with shower.
After dinner, take a seat out on the lawn and remember what it's like to count the stars away from the city lights, or perhaps toast a few s'mores over the fire pit while you listen to the waves lap at the shore.
For six generations, our family has called Anderson Island home. It truly is a unique and special place, a step back in time. Agate Beach House has been restored to reflect the beauty and tranquil nature of the island. Every detail has been attended to for your comfort and pleasure.
Give Agate Beach a try! You won't be disappointed!
