About this house rental
Did someone say “private island” only an hour outside of Seattle!? Disconnect, unwind and replenish with family and friends sitting waterfront on the magical Puget Sound. A short ferry ride will take you to a small island, just 3 miles around, that sits in the pristine Case Inlet. Kayak and paddleboard with the seals, have lunch with the deer, drink coffee and cocktails from your large deck while the children stay occupied for hours down on the beach. If your lucky, you may see porpoises, orcas, whales, bald eagles diving for fish and more.
Bring your paddle boards and kayaks - you can circle the island in about 90 minutes. Play outdoor games in the yard or on the beach or take a short walk down to the island playground where there are Pickleball courts (and rackets), basketball court, soccer net, baseball diamond and an old school slide, swings and merry-go-round.
This is truly a place to disconnect, which means there are no grocery stores, gas stations, or restaurants on the island. Be sure to get any groceries you need for your stay before you get on the ferry in Lakebay. The kitchen is stocked with cooking supplies but no food is available.
The house is newly remodeled (updated pics coming soon!) with a modern, beach house aesthetic. Upstairs is the kitchen and living room, with French doors, large windows and an oversized deck looking down over the Sound. Indoor and outdoor dining options. Gas fireplace with chairs and propane BBQ on the deck.
Downstairs hosts the second bedroom, a full bath, a bunk room (with two bunk beds) and a common area with two couches to lounge on if you need a break from the excitement happening upstairs!
Large hot tub overlooking the water where you can warm up after an evening swim!
You will have access to the entire home and expansive decks, as well as a private beach.
The entire island does not have broadband internet service and cellular reception can be limited. However, owners use Verizon hotspot on their cell phones and work out on the island for 6 weeks each year with no issues.
The ferry is $20, which includes the car and driver. Additional passengers are $3 per person. Only cash and checks are accepted. We will send you the ferry schedule and pass upon booking and our on-island host will connect with you to ensure a hassle free arrival.

We had a wonderful time at this property. Heron Island itself is such a peaceful place and this house allowed us to relax and unplug. The house itself was clean and well equipped. The hot tub was also clean and in working order. The host was very responsive to any questions that we had. The one thing that would have made the house better would be some black out curtains in the bedroom. I love all of the natural light that the windows bring in but the sun rises very early so it made it challenging to sleep in. We can’t wait to come back again!
4.0 / 5.0
Overall our stay was great. The house was clean and overall as expected. My only complaint is that the hot tub was pretty dirty to the point that we weren't comfortable going in. There was a dead frog floating in it, the water was cloudy, and there was alot of sand and other debris in the bottom. The property manager stopped by to check on us our first day there, and when I mentioned the hot tub she said her husband had just cleaned it. She did put more chlorine in, but that didn't really make a difference so we just didn't use the hot tub during our stay. Other than that one issue the rest of our stay was great, and our kids loved the beach!

Had a great retreat with Grandchildren before school starts. Plenty of wildlife and sunshine.
There was a tiny resident frog 🐸 hiding under the hot tub cover every day! The Grandchildren were entertained our whole weekend. Thanks for sharing your beach house!

From the lovely and clean home to the stunning location, this place is truly magical. We watched a mother seal and her baby play in the water, osprey fish, and nighttime phosphorescence light up the sea. The hosts were responsive and helpful, and the house perfect for our family of four and my Mother. We look forward to returning!
5.0 / 5.0
Our family of 3 had a great time at this beautiful property on the water! The deck was perfection for morning coffee, evening dinner and drinks and wildlife viewing. The newly remodeled house was very comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed and lovely.
Getting there on the cutest ferry ever was easy, just make sure you bring everything you need since there are no stores or restaurants on the island. Once there we didn’t use our car; roads are unpaved but we’ll kept. Our AT&T phones had decent service. We enjoyed kayaking (provided) and SUPping around the island…the water is so calm! Overall a nice, relaxing break.
