Lovely Seaside Escape! Private Beach!

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!

*Please note that any reservations over one week will require a 50% non-refundable deposit to be paid to secure the booking.

Amazing Island Vacation!
This place was so quiet with a private access to the beach. We loved how clean the house was and how the management/owners took extra care to make sure we were well provided for- I would recommend this place to anyone! It was one of our more clean houses that we have stayed at and well stocked with everything we needed!

Family Vacation
We had a wonderful time at the Agate Beach House! The home is every bit as lovely as the pictures and equipped with everything you will need for your stay. We loved looking for shells along the beach at low tide and setting out by the fit pit in the evenings. There are plenty of hiking trails to explore and the kids enjoyed swimming in the lake. We definitely would recommend this home and Anderson Island to friends and family.

Amazing waterfront property
Well appointed home was more than just a place to sleep. This was more like your own home; well stocked, so many little amenities, and quiet. Family night around the fire ring and S’mores fixings provided by our gracious host family.

House was adorable and very clean! Great set up for 2 families. Anderson Island was so peaceful and quiet. The beds were cozy, kitchen was well appointed and the numerous deeply relaxing Adirondack chairs were appreciated by all. I most appreciated how helpful and incredibly accessible the property manager was.

A hidden gem
This was by far our best rental over the last few years. The view is unbeatable. The house has plenty of space for everyone. A fully stocked kitchen. A great backyard and access to the beach. We hadn't heard of Anderson Island before seeing this rental and now wish we stayed longer.

The property was as beautiful as advertised. Fantastic views of The Mountain and our weather was great. Campfires each night. Nice beach for a walk. The kitchen was fully stocked, we had everything we needed to create some amazing meals. Can't wait to return. Slow paced Island life.

BEST VACATION EVER!!
Awesome in every way. The island was a treat. It was my birthday (mom) so my husband and our youngest came and then our oldest who lives near Tacoma came on my birthday. We BBQ’d and enjoyed the view and peace. Would recommend but don’t know if we want to share this wonderful secret. LOL. Thank you for sharing your home with us! The Wheelers

Perfect for Winter Holiday
We loved this cozy, quiet home. The host was very communicative and quick to respond to a few questions we had when we arrived. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable for two small families. There were a lot of personal touches - they even added a small Christmas tree for our stay (after thoughtfully reaching out to check if that was ok.) Would absolutely recommend.

Wonderful experience all around. Highly recommend.
We spent 5 days at this beautiful location and had a wonderful time. The home had all the essentials we needed, including s’more’s ingredients which were a big hit. The kids had so much fun playing cornhole and darts and exploring the beach area. The lake was beautiful and we spent 2 days there in the sun. Cannot recommend this property enough. Everything we expected and more.

This house has a great view of the water with Mt Ranier in the background. I spent hours sitting on the deck and my son was a fan of skipping stones on the little beach. The house was comfortable and the owner/rental agent were extremely responsive when we managed to lock ourselves out.
