Members of early sailing expeditions of Puget Sound named much of our area.  The first was Capt. George Vancouver and his Second Lieutenant Peter Puget who explored Puget Sound in May 1792.  Almost 50 years later in May 1841 Admiral Wilkes expedition named Stretch Island for Samuel Stretch, a gunner's mate with the expedition.  Using his wit he then named the smaller island to the north Reach Island.  Reach Island had been known as Oak Island prior to this.  Joseph Pickard was the first to homestead Reach Island in 1885.  He left in 1890 and the island was not inhabited until 1905 when Alfred W. Zizz bought Reach Island for $1,000. Alfred and his wife Natella raised two children; Virginia and Zane. Alfred remained on the island until 1952 when it was sold to a development group and it was renamed Treasure Island. In 1991 The Riley Family planted their first Oyster and Clam beds and named there area Treasure Cove because of the close distance to Treasure Island, Washington.

      Took a chance on a November booking and mother nature won: windy, cold, rainy BUT we still had an amazing time thanks to the host Kevin! He set up some tents, started a fire and the grill, had heaters going in the cabins with some extra blankies, the hot tub ready, fresh out of the water clams and oysters, and entertained us all night with stories, education about his business and the history of oyster shellfish farming and the area. (Host lives on property and gave plenty of space/privacy, we happily invited him to stay and hang out) Being able to let the dog run free was a huge bonus. Highly recommend the Boat House up the street if looking for restaurants near by

      This was the first time my husband and I stayed on an oyster farm and it was such a treat. Kevin is a lovely host who teaches you all about oyster farming and how he uses the land. It's a very low-key, dog friendly piece of land which our pooch loved. Overall just a wonderful and unique place to stay. Highly recommend it!

      A perfect, relaxing PNW destination
      Kevin has an amazing set up with a couple of cute cabins, unexpected & welcome amenities, open space, a phenomenal waterfront location, and he is a thoughtful and fun host. My husband and I had the place to ourselves for Labor Day weekend. We were super surprised that there is a mini fridge available for us to use! We really appreciated having access to a flushing toilet and a hot shower! It was really fun and fascinating to learn about oyster farming from Kevin and he taught us how to shuck oysters. His are kayaks available for use and Kevin is super welcoming about letting you use any of the toys and furniture he has in his yard. A couple of times we almost got in the kayak but we spent the weekend soaking in the view, relaxing on the swing chair, and getting a lot of reading done. Bring a pair of binoculars because there are sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters, deer, and if you’re really lucky you might spot a whale! This spot is a total PNW gem and Kevin is so gracious to open up his home and share it with people. 10/10 experience

      The property is small but had everything we needed. It's a short walk to the bathroom with a warm shower. Situated by the water, we kayaked with seals and enjoyed a gorgeous sunset. Kevin is a shellfish farmer. The piece de la resistance was having clams and freshly shucked oysters prepared by Kevin, and the most delicious freshly picked blackberries.

      Scrumptious Oysters
      Treasure Cove Oyster Camp was an adventure! Kevin was a delight to get to know, and his oysters were scrumptious. The cabin was very comfortable, enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and the indoor bathroom. Hot showers felt great. Kayaking was fun, also floating on the blowup armchair, and watching the seals club onto the dock in the bay.
