We invite you to come experience Eagle Cove – where every day is amazing! Whether Eagle Cove is your destination or your home-base while taking other excursions, you will find the peaceful setting and endless views spectacular. Located on the mainland in Marysville/Tulalip, there is no Ferry lines to wait in. With Seattle about a 40-mile drive south and the Canadian border about a 65-mile drive north, Eagle Cove is an ideal location. Located in a gated community, the setting is very private. It has an awesome end of the road location with no through traffic. Stairs access the private beachfront with a great beach and no strong currents - perfect for the kids! Beachcombers can go adventuring with miles of beach to walk (depending on the tides). Just like the name suggests…you will awe at the daily flight of the eagles, plus blue herons, red tail hawks, woodpeckers, and more feathered friends year-round. Harbor seals, otters and an occasional “pod” of porpoises can also be seen swimming in the bay. “The whales are here; the whales are here!” Each sighting brings an excitement. During the Spring and Fall, grey whales frequent the beach in front of the house. You cannot miss their distinct “spouting” as they exhale a noisy stream that rises 10-13 feet above the water, followed by a deep, hallow echoing. It almost seems as if they are waving to you as they roll in the shallow water, dredging the bottom to feed on sand shrimp - just yards from the shoreline. Our family has owned this beautiful beach property since 1992. We built the original home, Island View in 2000 (where we currently live) and Eagle Cove in 2005, renovating it in 2019. Eagle Cove boasts westerly views of Port Susan, Camano Island, Whidbey Island from almost every room. The hub of the house is the main level. It offers an open concept kitchen, dining, eating nook and family room with westerly facing decks to soak in the panoramic views and access to the grassy back yard, patio, BBQ, fire pit and hot tub. The gourmet kitchen is well equipped with two dishwashers, double oven, gas/propane cook-top, microwave oven, under-counter wine cooler, French door refrigerator and fully stocked with everything you need for preparing, serving, and enjoying your meals - besides the food. There is plenty of indoor seating for meals, board games or puzzles - the dining room seats up to 20, the breakfast nook seats 6 and there are two bar areas with stools. The family room is perfect for relaxing on the oversized sectional, while watching TV or listening to someone play a tune on the piano. Outside has lots to offer. The beach is great for a stroll, to play in the sand and swim in the water, or just sit and enjoy the salty beach air. The front decks have an assortment of outdoor furniture for relaxing and lounging while taking in some scenic views and dynamic sunsets – keep your camera ready. Located off the main level is activity central…the back yard! Prepare your favorite meal on the dual fuel BBQ (propane or briquet) and enjoy it outside on the furnished patio. The large level grassy area is perfect for yard games: croquet, badminton, corn hole, bocce ball, kids’ toys, sprinklers, etc. Enjoy smores and stories around the fire-pit or take a relaxing dip in the six-person hot tub overlooking the water. Eagle Cove can comfortably sleep 20 guests in well-appointed bedrooms. Each furnished with fresh white linens, duvet covered blankets and pillows. The main level offers a primary bedroom with a private bathroom, fireplace, and direct access to one of the front decks and is great for those who do not manage stairs well. Another primary bedroom is located upstairs with a private bathroom, Jacuzzi tub, fireplace, and private deck, as well as four more bedrooms and two bathrooms. The lower floor has one bedroom and an adjoining room designated as the “bunk room” with sleeping for six, an oversized sectional, TV, and a table for games or puzzles– a getaway from the main level activities. Since 2007, we have had the pleasure of hosting groups at Eagle Cove for family gatherings, reunions, scrapbookers, quilters, private and corporate retreats, and other special events year-round; and we look forward to providing a wonderful experience for the future groups to come. A few notes: For the health and safety of owner's family members with severe allergies and asthma, we cannot host guests with animals of any kind. Eagle Cove is strictly a pet-free, animal-free home.
