About This Home

As of September 2019

Perched up above Bates Walk for privacy sits this little gem. Shaded in the summer by a huge Maple, the cabin was built about 70 years ago. Watch the whales, otters, seals, eagles and ships pass on Colvos Passage. A great beach for exploring either in a boat or when the tide is out. The bulkhead is concrete, there is a boathouse with a hoist to help put your favorite boat in the water. Easy flat path from the parking lot is about 350 feet from the parking area. Tidelands included!
