Secret Island Getaway- Private Beach, Boats, Kayaks & guest only Seafood Farm

Sunset Lagoon Retreat, with guest only Seafood Farm, is located on a private island in the Puget Sound of Washington. Enjoy your own private beach, boat dock, oyster filled lagoon, and spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains, all framed in a different sunset every evening. With the lagoon, dock & beach in your backyard there are unlimited outdoor activities to experience without leaving your retreat. Where else can you relax all day on your own private beach or take a leisurely kayak ride around your island, and then grab some fresh live oysters, clams or mussels for dinner, from your own private lagoon and seafood farm? This is truly a seafood lover’s dream. We have spent so much time and effort making Sunset Lagoon a unique place to live our lives, we decided to make it available for others to enjoy as well. Now you too can enjoy what others only dream of in your own separate 1200 sq. ft. of secured downstairs living area, at the Sunset Lagoon Retreat and guest only Sea Food Farm, with your own private entry and covered deck. Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and families. Come experience what you have always dreamed about all year round at your own private island getaway. By the way; if you’ve never chucked an oyster or dug for clams we would be happy to show you how, Just Ask!

Dont think twice. Just book it. If youre looking for that *island getaway* this is it. Firepit,bbq, friendly small island community. Youre own private seafood lagoon. Endless amounts of clams/mussels and oysters. Bring the ingredients, gorge on the shellfish.

Beautiful quiet setting with gracious and helpful hosts. Appreciated the adventure of the private fish farm and with help from the host, we dug clams, mussels, and oysters.

Highly recommend this stay to those who want a private getaway with your partner or family! Dale and Carol are friendly and thoughtful hosts. Their place is beautiful, inside and out! The seafood is amazing! The walk to a nearby beach was nice. We also had a couple deer stop by to feed on some carrots we brought with us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The setting was beautiful, our hosts, Dale and Carol, were very welcoming and helpful, and the house contained everything we could possibly need. The icing on the cake was being able to harvest clams, mussels, and oysters for our meals. We would highly recommend this place to any of our friends!

We spent a lovely long weekend here relaxing and enjoying clams, oysters, and mussels we gathered at low tide. A great romantic getaway even in rainy winter.

Our stay in February was more than advertised. Dale and Carol made everything easy and are super friendly. The property was spacious, clean and comfortable. The view is incredible and the shellfish abundant. We walked the whole island in a couple hours and got a sense for the community. Beautiful spot.

We loved the home and location. One of our best PNW vacations. We ate lots of seafood, flew kites and took the kayak on the lagoon at high tide. My 3 year old had a great time.

The property is beautiful. The owners have thought of everything and provided for you. The owners are very friendly and there to help but unobtrusive. The seafood farm experience was great. There were lots of oysters, clams and mussels. Plus the mountain and Puget Sound views create a very relaxing experience. This was one of our best stays ever. If you like the outdoors you will love it. Just note there are 55 steps to the beach and some are steep and occasionally wet.

This is our family’s favorite place to stay for a relaxing weekend getaway! This is our third time visiting and we always love it here. The view of the Puget Sound is beautiful, home is clean and very comfortable and we love having access to the kayaks and paddle board. It’s a perfect place to unwind in nature. Thanks to Dale and Carol for another lovely weekend. We look forward to visiting again!

I absolutely love this property! So relaxing and yet there are plenty of activities to keep folks busy. Kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, clamming, beach combing, deer feeding, Orca spotting (yup, we spotted some) and so much more. Not for parties or loud group though. Love the owners.

Amazingly relaxing retreat, exactly as advertised. The view, the amenities, and the added bonus of the unique oyster farm were all spectacular. We hope to return to Sunset Lagoon and maybe bring the kids next time! Thanks to Dale and Carol for being fantastic hosts from start to finish.

This place is so magical and such a unique experience you won’t find elsewhere! My husband and I enjoyed a much needed weekend getaway at this place, where we were able to relax, eat all the oysters, clams, and mussels we could possibly consume, and kayak on the sound. We saw seals and ospreys during our 1.5 hour kayaking journey around the entire island! The space itself was perfect for the two of us, but could definitely accomodate a few more if needed. The views were incredible! We loved being able to look out at the water while eating dinner AND from our bed in the morning! More importantly, Dale and Carol were the best hosts! We don’t often stay at places where the hosts are present, but these two are so sweet, welcoming, and beyond helpful. They were always available when we needed them but also gave us privacy. It was the perfect balance! We will definitely be returning for future getaways. Thanks again, Dale & Carol! :)
