Located on ever changing and world famous Hammersley Inlet in Shelton, this adorable beachfront cabin will provide you with the ultimate spot for some much needed rest and relaxation. Watch the tide, tug boats, seals, and occasional Orca from the comfort of the couch. With more than 20 miles of visibility to the West, the view will never be the same twice.

Originally built in 1940 this cabin retains it historic charm including the original hardwood floors, wooden walls, exposed beams, millwork and wood stove. There are even two Dutch doors facing the water perfect for letting in the summer breeze. A ductless heat pump has been installed to provide both heating and air conditioning. The home includes a refrigerator, dishwasher, washer/dryer, and microwave for you to use. The bedrooms feature queen beds, dressers, and closets. A queen sized inflatable mattress will also be left at the home. The home will be fully furnished and decorated for your enjoyment.

The property is over ½ acre in size and is fenced on both sides, providing a private escape for you and your guests. The home is the third to last home on a dead-end street, so you’ll see more marine traffic than cars driving by. Much like the waterfront, the landscaping is always changing. The yard features many seasonal plants uncommon to the region including Rice Paper plants, Banana Leaf trees, and Hardy Pampas Grasses. The backyard is exceptionally private during the summer months when the grasses are in bloom. The yard includes a brick-lined firepit, gated stairs (10 stairs total) to beach, and a small covered patio located off the kitchen.

The home features 75’ of low bank frontage along Hammersly Inlet in the South Puget Sound. This particular area experiences over 15’ of tidal movement and can look more like a river than the Sound during certain periods of time. The beach is rocky/sandy, allowing you to walk on it without sinking into mud. There is also a moorage buoy out front in case you choose to bring your boat. Adirondack chairs and two kayaks will also be provided.

During my seven years living full time at the home I have been lucky enough to see many Orca pods, sea lions, seals, and otters. The home is also often visited by many deer, Bald Eagles, and even the occasional fox. Watching the Seagulls attempt to break into the abundant amount of shellfish on the beach will entertain you for hours!

Upon arrival you will be provided with an information sheet describing instructions for the WiFi, television, and check out procedure. You will also be provided with freshly washed bedding, towels, drinking water, coffee, and all the plates/cups/silverware you’ll need.

Outdoor amenities include two kayaks/paddles/vests, BBQ, propane fire pit, and many lawn chairs perfect for watching the sunset over the horizon. We strive to have all of the lawns mowed and landscaping looking great for maximum outdoor enjoyment!

The exterior of home has been freshly painted, a new electrical panel installed, water treatment system installed, and whole house recently replumed. All systems/appliances in home are up to date and work great.

We're a private host who cleans, maintains, and services the rental ourselves. As opposed to locations which are managed by rental agencies, we have pride of ownership and are here to help at a moments notice. The cottage was my primary residence for 7+ years and over that time I poured my blood, sweat, and tears into making the property as tranquil and inviting as possible. We are proud of what we've built and look forward to sharing the experience with you!
