Nicely updated and improved, the house is cozy, yet bright and open, boasting views from every room.Stella Maris offers that elusive opportunity to slow life down and relax. Breathe in the fresh Puget Sound air. Close your eyes and listen to the waves lapping and rippling over pebbles and clams. Open them again and watch the spiraling flight of seagulls hunting for breakfast, the playful antics of sea otters or perhaps, if you're lucky, even a bald eagle. Read that book you keep meaning to pick up, or choose one of ours.Perfect for families or romantic getaways, Stella Maris at once provides quiet seclusion and a gateway to local wineries, restaurants, family farms, state parks, golf, boating and more.Tour an underwater submarine or try Anthony's Homeport famous clam chowder in Bremerton. Ride the iconic Puget Sound ferries to Seattle, visit the myriad museums of Tacoma, or take a hike in the Olympic National Rain Forest. Day-trip across the Narrows Bridge to watch our Triple-A baseball home team, the Rainiers, play an afternoon game at the beautifully renovated Cheney Stadium. Please see the "Location" tab for more day trip ideas.Or, you can always just stay in and use our kayaks to explore Filucy Bay, hunt for sea creatures and take in the quiet nature.At the end of the day, gather round the patio campfire for roasted s'mores or a glass of Trillium Creek wine and enjoy your perfect slice of the incomparable Pacific Northwest.~ While we have a 2 night minimum stay we HIGHLY recommend booking for three nights or more if your travel plans allow. Stella Maris truly is a special place and frequently we have guests request to extend their stay. While we love accommodating when it is possible often we have back to back bookings and cannot offer more time.~ Please note that we have an 8 person maximum. This is both because that is the number of people who can comfortably sleep at Stella Maris but also so that we can preserve the quiet nature of the area. We have included a $200/person/night additional charge option. This is for guests who REALLY want that extra guest but also as a penalty in the event an extra body accidentally ended up in the suitcase.
