Breathtaking Waterfront Home with Beach & Hot Tub
Welcome to Porpoise Paradise, your majestic escape into the Pacific Northwest with a recently added brand new hot tub. Perched above the beautiful Puget Sound, this 1940s beach house is opening its doors for the first time to welcome you! Whether you are bringing the kids or just the significant other, we're sure you'll leave with lasting memories.
Porpoise Paradise is a 1940's beach house, at the end of the road, that has been added to at least one time. The 4 bedrooms are not your typical bedrooms and the stairs to 3 of the 4 bedrooms are what some describe 'boat stairs.' Technically, there are 5 different levels to the house.
Porpoises, which are very similar to dolphins, frequent the bay in front of the house, nearly every day and sometimes all day long. Bald eagles, seals, otters and salmon are just a few of the other wildlife you might see at the house.
Kids will love it, and it's a romantic spot for couples too. But if there are people in the group that have some physical limitations, there is only one bedroom that could be suitable for them, and that has a half set of stairs to access.
Calling all BIRDERS! This location is a special treat that offers vibrant birdlife right outside the back door. Kitsap county, in particular, is a birdwatcher's paradise with the likes of bald eagles, Anna's hummingbird, dark-eyed junco, great blue heron and much more whizzing right by the bluffs of the Puget Sound. Grab some binoculars and don't miss your chance to witness this thrilling sight!
Please see listing photos for a picture of the stairs that leads to the three remaining bedrooms.
The Master Bedroom is a space of its own and perfect place to unwind by yourself or with your significant other. The King bed faces the gorgeous Puget Sound that looks off to Seattle and Mt Rainier, seen on a clear day.
There are two full bathrooms in the house, but neither are connected to any bedroom. The main bathroom is on the common level floor and there is also a full bathroom with walk-in the basement of the house. The main bathroom is set up as a spa with huge walk-in rainfall shower, towel warmer, soaking tub, robes and more. The upstairs shares a very small, half bathroom.
The basement has a sectional sofa that can be turned into 4 super comfy twin beds. We provide pillows and blankets and it just takes a small rearranging of the sofa.
Check out what our first guest Mike thought of the place :
Wow... we weren't sure what to expect at this AirBnb, but it exceeded our expectations by far. There was so much attention to detail that really made the place feel like home for the time we were there. A completely fully stocked kitchen with all high end appliances, a beautiful bathroom with separate bath and fun bath details like bath salts, robes, and single use loofahs, warm flannel jackets in different sizes to use, and a fun trail that leads directly to the ocean where a single person kayak and/or paddleboard is available for use with direct views to Seattle and the mountains. It's a beautiful home with a cabin-like feel. I wouldn't think twice about coming back, and would definitely recommend this place to others.
