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!

Our second time staying here was just as wonderful as the first. This time, we took our dog with us and it was so dog friendly with the gated porch for him to enjoy! Dale brought out a motor to attach to the row boat so we could go fishing which was great. We even saw some dolphins while we were out! We also went out kayaking later in the day. If you stay, you HAVE to try Carol’s clam chowder recipe in the binder. So delicious!

An amazing 3 days

We wanted a quiet getaway and chose Sunset Lagoon because of the great reviews and the promise of seafood. If you like shellfish, this is the place for you! If you like a serene view and (usually) a great sunset, this place delivers. If you love kayaking or paddle boarding, you have a beautiful place to do it. The owners are kind and helpful. You do need to think through what you need in advance since there’s no store on this island. But that’s just a little planning in advance.

The best getaway!

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! :)

A fun relaxing weekend

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.

Sunset Lagoon getaway

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!

Sparking, Spacious & Gracious

Carol & Dale deserve every bit of their high praise. Genuinely kind and thoughtful people who while respectful of your privacy make their availability and helpfulness clear. We got an oyster shucking lesson from Dale. Their generosity is as abundant as the clams and oysters they tend and offer you freely. Everything you need to know for your stay is in their very organized notebook. The place was much larger than we thought from the images and very clean, comfortable and tasteful. Beautiful setting and huge windows to enjoy it all. Lovely visit. Thank you both so much!

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.

I can’t say enough good things about our stay and experience with Dale and Carol. They are super sweet, graciously generous, amazingly accommodating; always kindly available but not intrusive. Just all around superb hosts. I wish I could keep this place secret so we can keep it all to ourselves, and protected, but all good things must be shared :) . The clams, mussels, and oyster farm was 5 Star quality and my wife and I had fun foraging for our night’s dinner. Dale and Carol provided everything you need from instructions on how to forage, recipes, and even provided a few simple ingredients we forgot to pack. The sea bounty at Sunset Cove fed us with memorable meals throughout our weekend, and we could not ask for anything better. We already booked our next stay!! Thank you so much, Dale & Carol

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

When looking into this place, I had wondered why the Millers had a cumulative average 5.0 from all the reviewers. Now I understand why. Dale and Carol were great, very hospitable, available to help. The place was as advertised, no disappointing surprises. The setting and views were peaceful and pretty. The shellfish were great. We ate butter clams, mussels, and oysters. We also enjoyed seeing and feeding the deer that came onto the lawn in the evening. Our small dogs, 12# and 14# cockapoos, enjoyed the walks and beach. They were too small to take the stairs to the beach, as it is quite steep, but a public path to the beach is nearby. We stayed three nights. We will be back.

Had the Best Time!

Carol was very helpful in answering all my questions before our stay, and she kept us updated any time the ferry schedule changed. Her and Dale were very welcoming when we arrived and gave us the lay of the land - we immediately felt right at home! There were so many fun activities to choose from - paddle boat, kayaks, row boat, SUPs, exploring the island. My kids especially enjoyed the tree swing, feeding the deer and going to the park! We enjoyed coffee in the quiet mornings, meals on the deck, and beautiful sunsets in the evening. Amazing view of the Sound and mountain range! Dale and Carol showed us how to dig for clams, clean/prepare them, cook them, and even how to shuck oysters! We had a wonderful couple days, and I can’t wait until we can come back!
