Welcome to a newly remodeled (2019) mid-century beach cottage nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking Holmes Harbor. This slice of heaven boasts Pacific Northwest American Indian artifacts and furs, adding a unique touch to the decor. Unleash the beauty of the breathtaking water view by opening the wall-to-wall French doors in the living room. Feel the ocean breeze as you relax on the comfortable couch or loveseat, both equipped with recliners. The entire living space, along with the spacious deck, is located upstairs. Meanwhile, the double-deep carport and storage area below provide ample space for your belongings. Prepare meals in our fully-equipped kitchen with all principal and minor appliances, including a Vitamix, KitchenAid, and Instapot. Or, embrace outdoor dining and relaxation on the deck while cooking up a delightful meal on the BBQ. In the evenings, cozy up by the propane fireplace and indulge in your favorite shows on the 56" Smart TV (cable and high-speed internet included), or enjoy the array of jigsaw puzzles, books, and games suitable for all ages. The extra-large primary bedroom features a king bed, dressers, a cozy sitting area, and a convenient desk. The second bedroom features a queen bed and dresser. Both bedrooms are equipped with TVs. With one bathroom, this cottage is perfect for up to four adults or a family with up to four children. Grab the provided beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and sand toys, and take a leisurely stroll a few minutes away down the gated Saratoga Community beach access road. You'll encounter abundant sand dollars, seashells, and captivating sea life during low tide. Keep an eye out for soaring bald eagles and the distant presence of majestic whales. You can bring your kayaks or smaller boats and launch them from the beach. Remember to explore the other fabulous nearby beaches as well!
