Come and enjoy our South Beach Cozy Cottage.

The Cottage is located on Bainbridge Island in Puget Sound. It has stunning southern views of the Sound, Mt. Rainier, and Washington State Ferries. The Seattle skyline and lights are viewable from the bulkhead and fire pit. It is a fabulous place for a stress-relieving break or more active pursuits.

One of the things we enjoy most about our cozy cottage is watching local wildlife. Bald Eagles are easily seen from the home and deck. Seals, sea lions, cranes and other critters pass by daily. Orcas played off our beach from time to time. What a treat!

At low tide, throw on your water shoes and head to the beach to visit tidal pools brimming with colorful starfish and sea anemones. It’s great for anyone with a curious mind and young at heart. And from time to time, ORCAS SWIM BY!

The Cottage is situated along a popular and busy maritime route with Mt. Rainier as a backdrop. The water is studded with ferries, naval ships (including aircraft carriers and submarines), ocean-going ships, sail boats, yachts, kayaks and even paddleboards. If you like, you can use our 4 kayaks to explore for yourself!

Another option is to use our four (4) hybrid/mountain bikes to ride along the largely flat South Beach Drive into Ft Ward Park and then on to Lynwood Center (Pleasant Beach). Enjoy the art house theatre, bakery, restaurants, cafes, boutiques, ice cream, small grocery and a Sunday farmers' market.

Or visit Winslow, where the Seattle ferry lands and also the Island's primary shopping district. Winslow is 6 miles from the Cottage. You'll find everything you need including groceries, retail therapy, parks, walking trails along Eagle Harbor, movies and many excellent restaurants and pubs/winery tasting rooms.

If you want to play golf there is one on island and several excellent courses in the vicinity.

If gambling is your game, a casino located just off the north end of the Island. For cycling enthusiasts, Bainbridge Island is a well known bike riding destination.

The Island is blessed with trails and walks close to the Cottage, but also throughout the Island.

The Island is home to several award winning wineries and a distillery. The grapes come highly regarded Eastern Washington vineyards. The tasting rooms are eclectic, friendly, fun & scattered through Winslow and around the island.

Or, if you are just looking to get a break from it all, you most certainly can find relaxation and a retreat in our cottage all by itself. No need to leave.

All rooms have water views. The cottage features a beautiful and extremely well-equipped Kitchen.

The very comfortable Living and Dining rooms provide captivating views of the comings and goings on the water and the lights from West Seattle. In the evening, the illuminated ferries will remind you of Christmas ornaments.

The Cottage sleeps six (6):

The 2 Bedrooms have queen beds, flat screen TVs, and hummingbird feeders that attract birds from dawn until sunset – year round. The back bedroom has its own en suite bathroom. The front bedroom is across the hall from the bathroom.

The Middle Room has a queen size sofa bed. Firm, comfortable, no back breaking bars to disrupt your slumber. This room also is a “walk thru” room to the 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. So it’s private until someone walks thru.

Both Bathrooms have skylights to gaze at the sky & tree boughs above. The Master Bath has a low curb, walk-in shower with a small seat. The Main Bath has a claw foot tub where you can relax.

The Deck enjoys sun during the morning and early afternoon and then shade in the afternoons. Relax on the outdoor furniture, have a sun-filled breakfast or lunch and watch the eagles soar past.

Continue down the steps towards the water for areas where you can sit and enjoy views of Seattle skyline, relax in a two person hammock, enjoy the fire pit, paddle kayaks, or hop down to the beach to explore tide pools and collect shells and rocks at low tide.

    I’ve stayed in a lot of VRBOs and have never had a more attentive host! Thank you so much, Deb, for the extra touches! The house was great, “cozy” is the perfect word for it. And the view was spectacular, even during the dreary winter. I hope to stay again!

    The house is very cozy and the views are breathtaking. Large deck to sit and enjoy. There is quite a few steps to get down to the beach but they’re maintained very well with comfortable railings and are very easy to use.Even though it is an older house it has all the amenities that you might need. Kitchen is fully stocked not only with cooking equipment but also with tons of spices and condiments. Even mini coffee/ tea bar.The process of booking was smooth and pleasant. The owner goes out of her way to keep you updated and informed of what’s happening in the area and answers any questions immediately.As an extra touch she will even send a text to wish you a great day!Our family had a wonderful stay!!

    The cottage was the most well equipped and thoughtfully appointed I have ever stayed in! The kitchen was well stocked with spices and some lovely welcome items from our host. The extensive lovely dishware, serving pieces and equipment available made cooking and serving a pleasure. The beds and baths were all comfortable with very nice linens. Views included Ranier and we had a near daily visit from a seal or two. Waterfront walks were great and a real high point for us!! Some very interesting geology was noted when the tide was out!! A must see! We enjoyed our visits to Bloedel Reserve, The Japanese Exclusion Museum, shopping and eating in town as well as several lovely hikes. We would definitelyn return for another visit to Bainbridge's Cozy Cottage.

    Property was great. Owner went over backwards to help, answer questions, provide suggestions, stock the house with goodies. I've never had so much help at a VRBO! mThe view was worth a Million dollars; we even saw Mt renier.

    This is a beautifully appointed updated older cottage on the waterfront with a straight-on view of Mt. Ranier. It’s a great destination place with kayaks and e-bikes that we did not have time to use. The owner/manager is very attentive.

    From beginning to end, what a wonderful visit. In and around the neighborhood and throughout the island, we heard birds, watched ferries come and go, walked in the woods, and wondered what it would be like to live here. It’s just a 30 minute ferry ride away from our home in Seattle, but this lovely, comfortable, peaceful home made us feel like we travelled far away for a restful break from routine.

    If your travel plans bring you to the Seattle area, do yourself a favor and stay at this charming & cozy beachfront property. Located above the Puget Sound with a panoramic view of Seattle, Mt. Rainier and various islands, you will see eagles, seals and other wildlife in their natural habitat as you watch ferries and other activities on the water. The home is nestled in the woods and stocked with anything you could possibly need including binoculars. The hosts also provided a bottle (two) of wine, treats and some basic items in the fridge. They were super responsive and a joy to work with.We live in the Pacific Northwest & have not found as beautiful a location as this. We'll definitely rent this lovely place again. Enjoy your stay!

    My husband and I stayed at this property for a week in October. We had high hopes, but this cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. Deb is an excellent host and spoke with us personally about our travel plans, and provided suggestions, hints, and a generously thoughtful welcome basket to get things started. The location is quiet and private, and the cottage is well equipped and very clean, with extra touches that we appreciated. We especially liked that Deb kept the character of the original cottage with tasteful and comforting updates. And the view cannot be overstated. It's simply beautiful and changes throughout the day and into the night. I especially enjoyed getting up early to watch the morning roll in from the deck, but the evenings were a very close second. Bainbridge Island is a really great vacation destination. It has a remote, unspoiled feel to it, yet it's quite close to countless other places and activities. And after a day's wandering, we were perfectly happy to return to the cottage. And we were very sad to leave.

    The view is “to die for”. Watching the ships is mesmerizing and Ranier is spectacular. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and linens but you won’t want to come in from the deck. Driving the road is quite the adventure. Luckily we never encountered another vehicle coming from the other direction the whole week.

    Host was exceptionally helpful and thoughtful. The goodies provided were much appreciated. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed and the living room areas were spacious and comfortable with great waterfront views. Unusually cool and rainy conditions for August kept the view of Mt. Rainier out of sight unfortunately. Enjoyed our stay!
