Pacific NW Mid-Century Modern Waterfront Gem Located on Raft Island with Hot Tub by RedAwning

Raft Island House is back!  Enjoy panoramic views from of the Puget Sound against the backdrop of the Olympic Mountains from this mid-century modern designed and outfitted home on quiet and private Raft Island located an hour south of Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.


This beautiful mid-century modern style home comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests with its 3 bedrooms.  Bedroom one has a King-sized bed, bedrooms two and three each have Queen bed and there is a large reclinable couch in the living room that can sleep one an average adult. There are 3 bathroom, 2 with shower. The kitchen is equipped with pots and pans, knife set and ample plates, bowls and silverware with a dining area with table and chairs for enjoying a homecooked meal.


Fortunate guests can catch a sight of a pod of Orcas or even gray whales from the privacy of the expansive main deck, lower deck or hot tub spa. Blue herons and bald eagles are nearly daily sights. 155 feet of the property's low bank waterfront with Adirondack chairs are yours to relax on or to explore the beach at low tide. Raft Island's quiet roads are perfect for strolls or rent paddle boards that are delivered to to you from Deadman's Kayak SUP and explore historical Deadman's Island a stone's throw away. Less than a fifteen-minute drive brings you to quaint downtown Gig Harbor where you can visit art shops, enjoy local beers and fare at the historic Tides Tavern, or rent sea kayaks and paddle boards to ply its waters. Gig Harbor's Uptown provides several entertainment and restaurant options, and further exploration of the Key Peninsula areas offers opportunities to taste world class oysters from nearby Minterbrook Oyster Farms or further afield on Hood Canal. Raft Island House awaits those seeking a restful, soul regenerating getaway.


Summer Note: There is no central A/C, but a portable 10,000 BTU A/C  unit is setup in the dining room/common area that cools and vents the warm air outside.



Families or adults 25 year and older only.  No parties or noisy activity allowed as island has noise restrictions. Please note parking at local dock near bridge are for local residents only with passes.  Please note the house is on a septic system:  no grease or food down the drains, only toilet paper in the toilets.  Be mindful of steps to beach and bulkhead rock steps to water as they get slippery when it has rained (hold onto rails or other boulders).  Note that shellfish on the shores around our island are not monitored by the State for toxins and there have been cases of shellfish poisonings from norovirus and vibrio found in oysters consumed off our beach.  


Do not eat oysters here but you can go to Taylor Shellfish Farms or Minterbrook Oyster Company. We are currently under a fire restriction due to recent dry periods, so no outside fires at this time although a small one in the enclosed firepit on your beach is ok as long it does not produce sparks and embers through the grates.


Please note there is a motion-activated outdoor security camera located at the NW corner of the garage. Recordings may or may not be reviewed and are deleted after guest checkout.  There is no access into the garage.

Great Spot
House is beautiful, in a great location, and the owner was very responsive and flexible. We had a great time here combing the low tides with our daughter. There aren't any curtains in the bedrooms, which is great for the view but did wake my toddler up early in the morning. Just bring a sleep mask if you require total darkness to sleep in during spring/summer months.

Gorgeous
Absolutely beautiful place. The owner was great to communicate with. The only issue I had was that the cleaning fee was the highest I've ever paid by far, but you were expected to do some things like take the garbage up a hill for garbage day etc. The place could also have been better stocked (there weren't enough dishwasher tabs left for our stay, for example). But these are quite minor compared to how gorgeous the house and setting were. We enjoyed the view and the hot tub.

So peaceful
Raft Island House is spotless, impeccably maintained and equipped. The owners were very responsive. Our visit was during a historic high temperature period and the owners provided us with more fans. Even though the house was not air conditioned (which is common in the area) the evening temperatures dropped and the breeze from the harbor was delicious with the patio doors opened.. And NO BUGS! So no need to worry about mosquitoes. We would love to go back.
