Info

The Beach House is located on beautiful Dyes Inlet, one of many such inlets of Puget Sound. Depending on the time of year, you may be treated to the sight of sea lions, jumping salmon, eagles, seagulls, ducks, blue herons, and even Orca whales in and around the water. For the more adventurous, a walk (during low tide!) on the beach, or clam digging (we provide the tools!) can be a nice diversion.

When weather permits, you can enjoy a relaxing outing in the provided kayaks or paddle board or find one of the many great spots outside on the multi-level deck to have a drink, a meal or read a book.

Indoors, we offer a game room with foosball and a stand-up arcade machine, modern smart TVs (with all your favorite streaming services ready for you to sign into) in every bedroom and common area, and a cozy fireplace and window seat area. Whether you are looking to prepare a full home-cooked meal, or just heat up a frozen pizza, the gourmet kitchen can accommodate all of your needs.

If you'd rather dine out, there are many great restaurants only a few miles away in nearby Silverdale and downtown Bremerton offering a variety of cuisine such as sushi, Indian, Italian, Vietnamese, Mexican and Thai just to name a few. Silverdale also offers an 8-screen movie theater, many popular stores and places to eat, and shopping at the Kitsap Mall and surrounding area.

This is a large, modern house that may present you with some questions about how things work or where to find something. We have done our best to provide as much of that information as we can on this site via the House Manual. Please consult that first in case you have questions.

The house gets its name from Chico Bay where it is situated. Chico Bay is a part of Dyes Inlet, which is in turn a small part of Puget Sound. Here's are some maps. As you can see, Puget Sound extends to many areas in Washington State, including ours.

As you can see, Puget Sound reaches many different areas of Western Washington State. Our house is located near one of the many inlets.

Puget Sound is salt water and home to many kinds of sea life including salmon, harbor seals, Dungeness crab, clams, scallops, mussels, and squid. There is also abundant bird life as well, including seagulls, blue heron, bald eagles, ducks, and many others.
