Breathe in the fresh Puget Sound air. Close your eyes and listen to the waves lapping and rippling over pebbles and clams. Open them again and watch the spiraling flight of seagulls hunting for breakfast, the playful antics of sea otters or perhaps, if you're lucky, even a bald eagle. Read that book you keep meaning to pick up, or choose one of ours. Perfect for families or romantic getaways, Stella Maris at once provides quiet seclusion and a gateway to local wineries, restaurants, family farms, state parks, golf, boating and more. Tour an underwater submarine or try Anthony's Homeport famous clam chowder in Bremerton. Ride the iconic Puget Sound ferries to Seattle, visit the myriad museums of Tacoma, or take a hike in the Olympic National Rain Forest. Day-trip to the nearby Allyn or cross the Narrows Bridge to watch our Triple-A baseball home team, the Rainiers, play an afternoon game at the beautifully renovated Cheney Stadium. Or, you can always just stay in and use our kayaks to explore Filucy Bay, hunt for sea creatures and take in the quiet nature. At the end of the day, gather round the patio campfire for roasted s'mores or a glass of Trillium Creek wine and enjoy your perfect slice of the incomparable Pacific Northwest. The entire house, patio, and beach are yours! I am readily available by phone or through airbnb messenger (preferred) with a ton of hyperlocal support if needed. We have a lockbox so you can arrive and depart when it best suits you. Filucy Bay is incredibly peaceful and quiet. We love waking up to see the wildlife while drinking our coffee, exploring the shoreline and beautiful forest, and just spending time together. It is a perfect spot to reset and reconnect if life has been feeling extra full. We do ask for extreme respect of the neighbors as that relationship is crucially important in enabling us to share our home with guests. 5/2020 We have a pair of nesting Bald Eagles and a couple immature as well who frolic across the bay, even coming to sit in the trees at our front patio. There is a pair of Osprey who have been visiting as well as owls, nesting swallows, cormorants, and many more. The bird watching has been magnificent. You will absolutely need a car to enjoy Stella Maris. Please inquire about longer stays! While we have a 2 night minimum stay we HIGHLY recommend booking for three nights or more if your travel plans allow. Stella Maris truly is a special place and frequently we have guests request to extend their stay. While we love accommodating when it is possible often we have back to back bookings and cannot offer more time. Please note that we have an 8 person maximum. This is both because that is the number of people who can comfortably sleep at Stella Maris but also so that we can preserve the quiet nature of the area. We have included a $200/person/night additional charge option. This is for guests who REALLY want that extra guest but also as a penalty in the event there is an extra guest without previous permission. Both pull out beds (the futon in the master and couch in the living room) have full sized mattresses. Technically they can sleep 2 although this may not be ideal for larger people. 5/2020 We planted oyster seeds at approximately the -1 foot tidal height. You may view them but please do not distrub. Thank you! Yes! We do have neighbors. We ask our guests to be respectful of them and we request the same in return. This includes driving SLOWLY down our driveway. There is a toddlers who lives nearby.
