The place has great amenities and is relaxing. Make sure to bring really sturdy water shoes because there are plenty of barnacles to scratch up your feet.

Excellent beach staycation
I would highly recommend someone to stay at The Captains Retreat! We stayed only a couple of nights but wished we could have stayed longer. My family spent the day lounging in the sun, floating in the water and watching the marine life in the bay. They have everything we could have thought of and more. It was an amazing private getaway and can’t wait to come back next summer!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the clean and well stocked water-front home. Watching the tug boats from the sea wall was a nightly treat we won’t forgot. The property had everything you would have wanted to cook a meal, enjoy a cocktail or just feel like you were at home. Such a wonderful place. We can’t wait to visit again.

This is just a lovely cabin!
We were welcomed with goodies! And our children quickly got into a routine of going out in the little rowboat with their daddy in the mornings and in the evenings and swimming. We enjoyed the community pool and just as a family were able to wind down and relax. This was our second time at this cabin and we loved it!

Review by Jeannie
Our two families immensely enjoyed our stay at Lisa's beach cabin. The place is very clean, well stocked, has a panoramic outdoor dining area and comfy furniture. We liked walking along the beach, grilling oysters from the local market and sitting by the beautiful gas fire pit. Harstine island was also a fun place to explore during the day and only 20 minutes away from the cabin.

Great place, right on the Sound. Beautiful! Quite some distance from town, but that was not a surprise. The trade-off of the lovely view and quiet neighborhood was worth the drive.

Perfect home in a beautiful location
This three-bedroom home had all the accommodations needed for a great getaway. The property is right on the water and we were able to take out our kayaks and enjoy the beautiful sunsets from the back yard. The owners have stocked the home with all the necessary amenities and extras any family would need (BBQ, sunroom with gas bbq, washer/dryer, puzzles and games, Roku and Wii, and so much more. Would plan to go there again!

Calm and togetherness
This place is wonderful for a long weekend. Great views and sunsets. Comfortable house with everything that one needs to feel at home! The covered deck area was our favorite for meals and sunsets. Great games for all ages and very child friendly. Our two year old grand daughter enjoyed the beach area for exploration and some water experience. The ambiance made our family get-to-gether an intimate occasion! HIghly recommended!

What a fun vacation! The house sits up for a great view, and has easy access to the beach with a short staircase. The covered deck near the water was a fun bonus. Very comfortable, a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, great views. It was lovely! I will share with friends, and hope to return myself. Thanks, Lisa!
