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 with expansive water and mountain view, nestled between the bluff overlooking the water, our 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 space between the cottage and the owners home.

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.

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.

Expansive newly rebuilt decks look out over the water and at the mountains and the sunset with easy to use gas firepit. A hammock is hung between the trees with gorgeous water and mountain view.

Stayed here with my wife and overall, it’s a solid spot with some great views and a really quiet atmosphere. The cottage is well set up and has everything you need, plus good WiFi if you’re working remotely.A few things to keep in mind: the shower and toilet are pretty small, especially if you’re a bigger person, and the queen bed felt a bit tight for us. My biggest disappointment was not being told ahead of time that the stairs to the water were out—I was looking forward to using the beach.

Peaceful and quiet

Out stay could not have been nicer. We were in search of a relaxing and “off the beaten path” destination and we found it! Kimberley is a wonderful hostess-available and responsive with the few questions we had and she provided everything we needed for a 3-day stay. The bed was comfy and provided a wake up view of the forest and waterway as did the living room and kitchen. Lots of windows! We felt like a part of nature as we looked out at the lovely gardens and dense forest! Whidbey island has lots of beaches and hiking trails and kayaking. Kimberley knows the island well and made great suggestions for our adventures. We would happily return to the cottage!

Secluded and Cozy Retreat

My husband and I spent a few days at this well-built and private cabin on Whidbey Island. We totally enjoyed the comfortable bed and cozy fires in the fireplace each night. We were close to excellent restaurants, but also made a few meals at home in the cabin. I would’ve appreciated some directions for the induction cooktop as well as more lighting in the kitchen area. We were also under the impression that the location was right on the beach and not on a cliff overlooking the beach, and would’ve enjoyed walking at low tide had it not been such a hike up and down. But all in all we totally enjoyed our stay.

Disappointment

Upon arrival, we tried to go to the beach but the steps had been destroyed. The gazebo looked like it should be condemned. The water REAKED of sulfur so bad we didn’t even want to shower and I grew up with my family having a septic tank and well water. The view was nice and so was the location but the rest was nasty. I booked this location to have access to the beach and was very disappointed.

Beautiful Weekend Getaway

This comfortable and cozy cottage was the ideal place for a weekend getaway for two. It's perfectly situated looking west over the water; there are many windows, a lovely little deck and a hammock from which to enjoy the view. It's next to a larger house, but sited in such a way to create some privacy. We hope to be able to stay here again.

Second time just as good

Second time we’ve stayed here. Once this summer when it was sunny and now this rainy fall. What a cozy sweet place in great spot with a wonderful view! Maybe the only downside is the sulfury tap/shower water from the well. There’s bottled water to use but the shower is maybe the only less than perfect thing here.

Comfortable cottage on the bay

We spent three nights at the cottage, which was clean, comfortable and very peaceful. The views of Holmes Bay were great from either inside, or on the comfortable deck and hammock, where all you can hear are the birds. Very easy drive to Langley, where we found plenty of great places to eat and shop, and good beaches and hikes to explore in the state parks. Owner Kimberly was very helpful with suggestions for the area.

Romantic getaway

Great location on Whidbey: feels like you’re far from everything but most places but close to Langley and Freeland. The cottage is exactly as pictured and described. Loved the quiet wooded waterfront location, lovely deck with hammock and sunset views, and access to the beach. Inside, we enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and slept well on the comfy bed. Hostess responds quickly and is kind. We arrived to two vases of fresh flowers from her garden. Highly recommend
