Stop reading this review just book it. The hosts are genuinely amazing people and the property is everything you dream of and more. I honestly couldn't have had a better time and will definitely return and recommend to everyone who will listen.
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!
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.
We spent a lovely long weekend here relaxing and enjoying clams, oysters, and mussels we gathered at low tide. A great romantic getaway even in rainy winter.
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! :)
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.
We loved the home and location. One of our best PNW vacations. We ate lots of seafood, flew kites and took the kayak on the lagoon at high tide. My 3 year old had a great time.
Dale and Carol were the best host we have ever had in our travels, there property is Ten Star.
Some of the best people I have ever met in my life, we will make this a two to three time a year trip to there property, Clean , well kept place. And the neighbors were awesome as well. This is a lovely place to take your family. We had the best time for our anniversary. Thank you both you are amazing people.
Our family had the best time. I can’t say enough good things about it. Carol and Dale were so sweet and have thought of everything. The place was immaculate and had the best amenities. We definitely plan to come back.
This is our family’s favorite place to stay for a relaxing weekend getaway! This is our third time visiting and we always love it here. The view of the Puget Sound is beautiful, home is clean and very comfortable and we love having access to the kayaks and paddle board. It’s a perfect place to unwind in nature. Thanks to Dale and Carol for another lovely weekend. We look forward to visiting again!
I absolutely love this property! So relaxing and yet there are plenty of activities to keep folks busy. Kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, clamming, beach combing, deer feeding, Orca spotting (yup, we spotted some) and so much more. Not for parties or loud group though. Love the owners.

Every bit as great as it looks!
Amazingly relaxing retreat, exactly as advertised. The view, the amenities, and the added bonus of the unique oyster farm were all spectacular. We hope to return to Sunset Lagoon and maybe bring the kids next time! Thanks to Dale and Carol for being fantastic hosts from start to finish.

Peaceful time
Dale and Carol are wonderful host. Thanks again for sharing your lovely place with us. The boys had a great time. Our family had a peaceful weekend with so much fun. Can't wait to be back!
My wife and I had a great time. It was a nice getaway for the two of us. Although we wished we would have had better weather, the property and the amenities were perfect and clean. The owners were amazing and helpful. We'd definitely return in a heartbeat.
Loved it so much last summer, we returned this year. Dale and Carol are the best! They have a beautiful set up. Always sad to head for home. Thank you!!
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!
There were many new beautiful additions to the home decor, very quaint. And the view, OMG! As far as the eye could see. The clam digging was super easy and fun and when the tide was low the beach stretched on forever and revealed many hidden treasures. The deer and fawn grazing just added to the charm.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Sunset Lagoon. The views and beach access are amazing, and we caught oysters and clams for dinner. The property is really enjoyable and we got really lucky with the weather so we spent most of our time outside, remarkable for a February. Carol and Dale are very nice and helpful, and were really responsive to our questions ahead of time. They were really nice about letting us charge our car overnight, which we very much appreciated. We will definitely be back!
Dale and Carol are wonderful hosts. They were helpful, dependable, quiet, generous, informative, and invisible-until we needed something!
The living space is large, open yet private, comfortable, quiet, with a beautiful view of the ocean from every corner.
The oysters and manila clams were the best we've ever had and the deck table and BBQ were our second kitchen. We returned from our 9 nights refreshed and relaxed. Can't wait to return. Thanks again Carol and Dave-you are good people!
