Play
Skip the Seattle World Cup Traffic!
Forget highway gridlock and stadium parking. Three effortless ferry routes connect you directly to the action:
The Kingston Fast Ferry (passenger only): 40 minutes to downtown Seattle's Pier 50, then a flat scenic walk straight to Lumen Field.
The Bainbridge Island Ferry (vehicle and passenger): 35 minutes to the downtown waterfront, steps from Pike Place Market and pre-match festivities.
The Edmonds Ferry: 30 minutes, ideal if you are driving into the region.
Experience the world's biggest sporting stage by day. Come home to your own private waterfront sanctuary by night.
Six FIFA World Cup matches come to Seattle between June 15 and July 6, and The Pearl is the perfect distance away: close enough to feel the electricity, far enough to return home to silence.
Move
A fully equipped private gym in a detached structure with weights, cardio, and everything you need for a full workout without leaving the property.
A dedicated bonus room with water views serves as the perfect yoga or meditation space.
Beach access and kayak launch are minutes away. Hiking and the Hansville Greenway trail start right at the gate.

Getting Here
Directions
We always enjoy the scenic ferry trip! Downtown Seattle is about 35 minutes by the pedestrian-only fast ferry, and about 1 hour total by the car ferry. The house is about 20 minutes from the Kingston Ferry Terminal and 35 minutes from the Bainbridge Ferry Terminal.
Check ferry schedules at the WSDOT website (car ferry) and Kitsap Transit website (fast ferry) - summer weekends fill up fast. We also recommend downloading the WSDOT app for real-time ferry updates and wait times.
If driving, we are about 1.5 hours south through Tacoma then north up the Kitsap Peninsula via the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
There is ample parking on the property for at least 3 cars.

FIFA WORLD CUP
Attending FIFA World Cup 2026 in Seattle? The Pearl sleeps 8 and is perfectly positioned for match days. For groups, The Pearl works out to around $80 to $120 per person per night depending on group size and match dates, less than a standard Seattle hotel room, with Puget Sound as your backyard.
The space is group-ready. Two separate kitchen areas, a brand new 10-foot butcher block island for entertaining, plus a back prep kitchen with its own sink and coffee station, so 8 people can fuel up and head to the ferry without the morning chaos.
After the final whistle, come home to Puget Sound, the Adirondack chairs, and the kind of quiet that resets everything. A rare find for the summer's biggest event.

THE SETTING
Hansville sits at the tip of the Kitsap Peninsula, one of the most quietly spectacular corners of the Pacific Northwest. Far enough from the city to feel genuinely remote. Close enough to everything to feel free, not stranded. The neighborhood is peaceful and unhurried - you might spot a family out for an afternoon walk horseback.
A hiking trail runs directly from the property, facing a horse farm across the road. Mother Pearl sits between two of Puget Sound's historic lighthouses: Skunk Bay Lighthouse (a private, federally commissioned light that has guided ships through these waters for generations) is your nearest neighbor. Point No Point Lighthouse, the oldest on Puget Sound, is a short drive north. Very few places in the Pacific Northwest can make that claim.
Please note you can't visit Skunk Bay - it is strictly private - but on clear nights the distinct red light is always exciting to see.
Cozy up by the fireplace and watch majestic bald eagles and ospreys soar above the Sound. This is the Pacific Northwest as it was meant to be experienced.
PLANNING YOUR STAY
The Pearl books quickly - particularly for FIFA World Cup 2026 match weeks and summer holidays. International and out-of-state guests are welcome to reserve up to 12 months in advance. Secure your match week dates now.
