Casa del Sol: An Island Vacation Home

Regardless of season, knowing that you’ve got a quiet place to escape to makes all the difference. Vacation homes in the Pacific Northwest capture the wonders of our region, inspiring us with days by the beach or afternoons breathing mountain air. They provide space to disconnect from work and the busyness of modern life.

Yet while the vacation home offers ample space to mingle, it doesn’t neglect opportunity for solitude. The master suite offers its own views of the Strait. A large stone fireplace anchors the bedroom’s soaring ceilings and imbues the room with a sense of rustic timelessness.
