Come visit our secluded beachside A-frame, nestled in the deep water cove on the north end of Filucy Bay!

Situated at the water's edge of a 2.79 acre property, our beautiful 2 bedroom home offers comfortable furnishings, plenty of outdoor entertaining space, and easy access to the shops, restaurants and activities of Gig Harbor. 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.

This was our second time staying in this beautiful home. The location is hard to beat, its incredibly relaxing, rejuvenating and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay, and will definitely be back.

House had the most well equipped kitchen I have ever seen in a rental. The small touches were nice such as lovely throw pillows, ample towels and lots of Kleenex in all rooms. View was lovely of the bay. Kayaks were fun to use. I highly recommend this property but two comments: one is my car is a low, 2 wheel drive and the driveway was a little challenging for my car to get up without a little wheel spinning and two is the steps down to the beach would have been difficult for small children or less agile adults. These are small things that we managed to work with but overall our stay was great.

Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway or a family trip, a staycation or a hub for exploration you will find it with this little gem. Only 30 (ish) minutes outside of Gig Harbor yet the peacefulness you find with this home makes you feel like you are a million miles from the hustle and bustle. This home is set up like none other we have stayed at. The owners Caitlin and Rachel have done a fabulous job of making this home clean and welcoming for all ages. There are dishes, games and toys for all ages clearly marked and easy to find. The kitchen has everything you could want and the patio.!.!.! This home is great in any weather, you can turn on the fire and snuggle in with a book, movies and games if it’s raining or hit the bay for some beach combing or kayaking if the weather is perfect. Definitely a place we will return to. Thank you to Caitlin and Rachel (and your families) for sharing such a lovely place and to the neighbor for sharing the most adorable miss Nelly who welcomed us with the sweetest tail wag and who visited daily.
