Named for the resident Cyanocitta Stelleri, or Steller’s Jay bluebirds, it welcomes families and surf enthusiasts. Steller’s Jay Retreat is situated in Chesterman Beach Estates on a lush, landscaped half-acre property. The large, private deck features a hot tub, outdoor shower, BBQ, picnic table and comfortable seating of locally-made Adirondack chairs.

Steller’s Jay Retreat offers 2500 sq. ft. of fabulous indoor space on two levels.  The main level features open-concept living with a spacious, chef-worthy and well-stocked kitchen, a gorgeous dining room with great art and large picture windows overlooking the garden, and a cozy living room with gas fireplace and bespoke furniture made locally by Paul Owen Woodworks.  A small bathroom (toilet and sink) is conveniently located on the main floor. And, a fantastic media room/library with hand-adzed wall paneling, comfortable, contemporary furnishings, a custom entertainment unit with 47” flat-screen TV, and a selection of books including local authors completes the main level.

The second floor has three bedrooms and a second bathroom accessed by a Peter Ramos inspired photography-filled catwalk. The master bedroom features a king-size bed, and a private ensuite bathroom with separate shower, soaker tub and two sinks. The second bedroom offers a queen-size bed, and the third bedroom offers two twin-sized beds. And, a light-filled reading lounge completes the upstairs level.
