Year Round Beachfront Escape. Mountain Views, Hot Tub, Dedicated Retreat Room

Welcome to Salt and Soul Beach House, a premium year-round seaside retreat for families, friends, retreats and offsites.

This expansive house is nestled on a private shy acre overlooking stunning SE views of Holmes Harbor, Saratoga Passage, and the Cascades - providing front-row seats to wildlife and dramatic sea-skyscapes.

We are located about 20 minutes from the ferry, halfway between Langley and Coupeville with the historic Greenbank Farm within a quick walk. This well stocked home is perfect for those who come to the island for hiking, biking, excursions and strolls through the historic towns OR for those who plan to stay on property to connect, cook, eat and enjoy the sanctuary of the beach and grounds.

With five bedrooms, four comfortable sitting rooms, and outdoor spaces galore, there is plenty of space to spread out and do various activities like cooking, lounging, swimming, birdwatching, beach-combing, hot tubbing, yoga or games. Luxury linens, Mexican beach blankets, yoga mats, board games, puzzles and life jackets are available on-site. Bring your own paddle boards (all water use at your own risk, we do not provide any water craft.)

The house is designed for all different types of group trips. Girls trip? A retreat for your clients, team or business? Mom and daughters group? A few small families? Family reunion? We are ready for it.

Plan your experience today. Inquiries prior to bookings welcome. We also offer retreat planning support.

Beautiful view of Camano Island from the deck and great beach combing! We spent Thanksgiving weekend and had fun exploring the island.The only negative was poor water pressure - well water wasn't enough for showers for 11 people.

We enjoyed four days for a Fall Family Getaway on this gorgeous property. There are six of us and there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out and do their own thing. If we needed to work (great wi-fi), do a puzzle, read, play games or watch sports, we were all able to do our own thing. We had one calm day on the water and were able to paddle board, which was amazing. The outdoor hot tub with a view of the harbor takes the experience to the next level. The beds are very comfortable with great linens. The kitchen and dining area are perfect for us to dine together. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again.

Incredible! We gathered with some of our very favorite people to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary, birthdays, and life itself, and couldn't have found a better place to be! This house, the land, and the water were absolute magic. The bedrooms are beautiful, the community space is plentiful and we used every room to sit, sprawl out, stretch, visit, craft, giggle, and hold space together. We walked the beach every day, soaked in the hot tub while deep breathing the fresh Puget Sound air, we cooked family style meals in the well stocked kitchen and watched the gorgeous full moon using the telescope and from the comfy deck. This time together was so special that it was hard to come back to reality afterwards. We all said how much we were holding onto the sparkly energy from that needed time together. Deeply recommend this house for gathering with your people and stepping away from life.

We had a wonderful day and very much enjoyed this beautiful home! The home has everything that one could ask for, clean, comfortable accommodations, a generously sized sparkling clean Jacuzzi, a beautiful and quiet beachfront for evening campfires and room for pet guests to enjoy themselves. We very much appreciated all of the personal design touches that the owners curated, that so many rental homes lack; well done!! We highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! It’s beautifully decorated, well-equipped, and the views are truly unbeatable. I was amazed at how calm the water was—we’ve never been anywhere on the Sound with such peaceful conditions. It was perfect for the kids to paddleboard, do a little crabbing, and enjoy quiet bonfires on the beach. We can’t wait to come back!

Starting with the front door lock, their solution for remembering the code was brilliant, and it made me wonder why everybody doesn't do it like that.Beautiful views and beautiful interior. Kitchen is filled with new appliances and everything you could ever need to feed a family of 14. ;-) The beaches to the north are fantastic and wild even though only a short walk away,from the house. Plenty of bird-watching, seal-watching, people watching (although more birds and seals than people) and - we're given to understand - a spectacular view of Mt. Rainier. Unfortunately, it never cleared enough to see it, but we needed the rain.
Tidepooling along the beaches to the north.
Plenty for the great-grandkids to do. And they LOVED the bunkroom.
Beautiful, even with the clouds.

Well equipped with necessities and clear instructions on how to care for the cabin while there and what to do upon leaving. Very clean and amazing view! Great access to the beach. We’d like to return next summer!

Fools Weekend

We loved the house and hope to return next year. The three separate gathering spaces on the main floor were perfect for having a puzzle and multiple games going at the same time. The kitchen was simply stocked with quality dishes. Beach access was easy and the beach itself was interesting and quiet, except for all the eagles. Beds were all comfortable and bedding was quality. I also loved how well signed everything was without being tacky.

Gorgeous waterfront home

Our stay was wonderful! The house is even nicer in person than the photos show. Everything was clean, well-organized, and abundantly stocked. Elisabeth was easy to communicate with and always responded promptly. Only thing to be wary of could be the level changes between some of the rooms if you have little ones. That didn’t occur to us when booking but could be problematic if you have an adventurous crawler.
