Charming Waterfront Cottage-NO CLEANING FEE-Water, Mountain & Sunset View

Located on Holmes Harbor just 12 miles from the Mukilteo/Clinton ferry, this well appointed and charming cottage is comfortable for short or long stays and features beautiful views, a cozy wood burning fireplace, hammock for enjoying the view and napping, easy to use gas firepit on the deck, and it's own private sandy beach for walking, sunning or swimming, small orchard and peaceful woods.

Reliable, high speed internet with WiFi is included. The cottage is perfect for those who want to vacation while working remotely and need a change of scenery getaway, where they can continue to work virtually, while being surrounded by beautiful views and natures refreshing peace and quiet.

The compact kitchen, although small, has a full size refrigerator with freezer and all cooking implements, pots and pans etc., needed to prepare meals. The kitchen is outfitted with an induction cooktop built into the counter, Keurig coffee maker with K-Cup pods included, electric skillet, waffle iron and large toaster oven. During the colder months the old fashioned wood burning cook stove can be used for cooking and makes the cottage really cozy warm, so best only used during winter. In addition there is an outdoor Weber charcoal grill available for BBQ and Roasting any time of the year.

Upon arrival, drive down the wooded lane past the serene pond and lush orchard populated by our friendly geese. Enjoy the sweeping water and mountain views from inside and outside from the full length deck. A privacy fence and "scenic view point" Gazebo for guest use occupy the undeveloped lot between the cottage and the owners home. Use the stairs just steps from the expansive and newly rebuilt deck with easy to use gas firepit and just the other side of the Gazebo, to access the beach.

One of the highlights of the cottage is the spectacular view from the cozy window seat or comfy queen size bed. The huge picture windows look directly out to the mountains, water, sunset and the bright stars at night. A sun shade on the outside of the bedroom picture window can be pulled down for privacy and for shade to block the hot sun in the afternoons or tone down the morning light if you want to sleep in.

Bring your own smart device for streaming content to the large screen TV in the bedroom via HDMI cable or Google Chromecast once you've logged into the cottage high speed internet WiFi. There's also a DVD and VHS player attached to the TV with a nice selection of movies provided.

The private sandy beach is very walk-able except during the highest tides. There is a large deck with picnic table and benches for sitting and laying out on when the tide is in. Our little shallow and sandy cove is also great for a refreshing swim on hot evenings, so bring your suits!

Langley, "The Village by the Sea", the entertainment center of South Whidbey is a quick 10 minute drive or the perfect scenic bike ride away! And, the cottage is only 3 miles from Payless Foods, a fabulous full service Grocery store in Freeland, the nearest town, has an excellent selection of fresh seafood, including the best fresh salmon and dungeness crab you can get anywhere.

We enjoyed the view of the sound. Hammock and window seat were restful and renewing. Sitting out on the deck with fire pit was mesmerizing. Appreciated the bottled water to offset sulfur tap water. Great place to relax, read and sleep.

Amazing Island Cottage Getaway
The photos don’t do justice of this adorable, quaint, and cozy cottage! It was breathtaking in the summer and we would love to come out and cozy up again in the fall/winter! The hostess was so friendly and inviting! We can’t wait to go back!

This place was a great find. Very cute little cottage with beautiful views and sunsets. Host lives on site and responds quickly. Close to downtown Freeland and a few other charming towns. Not a family place as it's only a 1 bedroom but it would be great as a couples long weekend get away.

Most relaxing anniversary getaway
My wife and I loved everthing about this cottage. The views, the privacy, and all the cozy places to relax or snuggle up and read a book. Loved cooking our meals in the cottage, and especially on the wood cook stove. The owner put a lot of sweet details into the cottage; fresh flowers, chocolates, wood for the fire, etc.We did go out and adventure around the towns but truly felt like we should have spent all our time in the cottage. All in all, this was one of the most enjoyable places we have vacationed to, and will recommend it to everyone we know.

A Great Relaxing & Therapeutic Getaway!
I booked this Cottage for a small getaway retreat, and if worked out perfectly! This place has beautiful views from all over the house! I enjoyed my morning coffee siting by the windows in both the living room and bedroom. I’m the evenings, I enjoyed the sunset from the deck. The highlight was definitely the acces to the beach down below! This is definitely a great place to rent year round! Im already planning another visit! -Ty

Peaceful perfection !!!!
Absolutely wonderful in all aspects. It was my husbands 71st birthday. We watched whales eat right from our deck for an hour. I have not got one thing negative to say about this property, the owner or the process. It is our new haven to return to!! Thank you

Peaceful stay by the water
Quaint little cottage nestled in the woods by the water....exactly what my husband and I needed for a little getaway. As all the other reviews spell out, you have what you need to make meals and be very comfortable. Great proximity to Langley and Freeland Payless grocery store. Only request would be to have either another privacy fence or natural vine barrier near the gazebo (or on cottage deck) so that sitting on the cottage deck is more private (owner's home is right next door and anyone on cottage deck is in full view). Other than that, purely delightful and can imagine it is really beautiful in summer too!

Not so cozy
The makings of a cozy hideaway but missed the mark. No curtains on the big open windows. Lovely during the day but really needed at night for privacy. Fireplace and wood cooking stove but not a stitch of wood. Kitchen area was quite the challenge to cook in. Just a little bit of effort on the owners part and it would have made a huge difference to our stay.

Great view
My husband spent most of his time while we stayed here just sitting on the deck and watching the activity on the lake. He loved it out there. We however weren't as happy with the inside. The interior was littered with dead bugs and spider webs. We had to do a lot of cleaning before we felt comfortable. Also had to re-wash many of the dishes. We are not neat-nicks by any stretch of the imagination but after we had it cleaned up we really enjoyed the location and the quaintness of the cabin.

Quiet respite
Property was very clean with a few days of firewood provided (if staying longer, you'll need to purchase more yourself). Once inside the cottage, it was very quiet and restful. The only thing that I was a bit surprised by was that this cottage sits right next to the owner's home, so it was not as secluded and private as I thought it would be. However, this ultimately didn't prevent me from enjoying my stay... The beach was not walkable due to high tides (must be the season); however, other beaches were within a short drive. The location is about 3 miles to the nearest store, which was just about right. Having never been this far north on Whidbey Island, it was fun to explore the area, and I definitely contributed to the local economy while there!

Misleading
Owner was very friendly but the post is very misleading. She lives in a large house with her family literally 10 feet away. It doesn’t feel private at all and there are no curtains at all for any of the windows. This made sleeping a major issue. The property is not well managed. A let down in a lot of areas for us. We left early and booked somewhere else to stay.

Cozy Romantic Cabin On June Beach Road
We loved our short weekend stay. The view was amazing on the Puget Sound even though it rained our second day. There were fresh flowers in each room as an added touch and chocolate covered carmels on a tray bedside. The kitchen stove is a pot belly stove that requires wood for fuel incase cooking in is your thing. They have a outdoor propane BBQ close to the cabin. The pictures are accurate of the outside of the house. It was in the trees but the cottage had may windows and you felt as if you were part of the outdoors. Splendid feeling. The only downside is the well has a strong smell for the running water in kitchen, bath and shower. The owner had it tested and it is drinkable. They had bottled water available which was nice. We would have given a 5 star if the well water had not had a smell. We would definitely come back again.

Cabin with a view
We had a very relaxing stay here. The view was beautiful and loved watching the birds at the feeder from the book nook window. The view in the bedroom was wonderful and we knew there would be no curtains or shades and were ok with that. Until someone came knocking on the door in the morning who we were not expecting. The owner did not give us a heads up on having someone come and check the gutter, nor was the owner home to talk to them. So he came to the door twice. Other than that, the only negative to this cabin was the extremely strong smell of sulfer in the water. Bottled water was provided. However, washing dishes and taking a shower in this water was just too much for us. We could smell it on our skin and on each other. It was too much for us, I couldn't shower here on our last day.
