About this house rental
Come and enjoy our Waterfront Beach 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.
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 are several in the vicinity.
If gambling is your fun, 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.

After spending time in Seattle and the Olympic Peninsula, we were looking for a few quiet days to conclude our vacation. The cottage was everything we needed! Our hosts thoughtfully curated a welcome, comfortable, neat and clean cottage home. A beach cottage in the trees! When Rainier showed herself we took in her beauty while sipping coffee on the deck by day, as well as wine by the campfire on the bulkhead at night. To our surprise and excitement we discovered a gorgeous view of the Emerald City from the bulkhead and beach!! As others in the comments said, our hostess Deb is an amazing communicator and available for any instruction and/or questions. Deb made us feel like her guests that she invited to her vacation home. Thank you!

Nestled above a gorgeous beach on Bainbridge Island, the Cozy Cottage is a charming retreat that invites you to unwind and reconnect with nature and offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort.
We loved the warm, inviting interior and thoughtful touches. The cozy living area beckons you to curl up with a good book by the crackling fireplace, while the fully equipped kitchen provides everything you need to host family dinners.
Outside, the views of Puget sound are incredible. It was fun to watch the ferries go by and one night we saw the most amazing full moon come up over the water.
Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat with family and friends, the Cozy Cottage on Bainbridge Island offers a welcoming haven where you can relax, recharge, and create cherished memories.

Nothing but five stars for everything - from the booking to the check out! The communication from Deb from start to finish was wonderful. The home itself is so cozy and welcoming and the view is incredible- we had a couple clear days with Mt. Rainier in the distance. The hospitality when we arrived with wine, cheese, crackers and fruit was appreciated and enjoyed during our stay. I would book this property again or another one of Deb’s properties on Bainbridge!

The view and setting were stunning. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The house and kitchen are equipped with everything you could possibly need. Beds were comfortable, patio was great for enjoying the outdoors. We can’t wait to come back!

First, I was impressed with the host who recommended activities and made sure I was settled in. Then, the view! Although the March weather kept us from exploring on bikes or kayaks, we kept busy with the view out the living room windows. The view is amazing: boats, city view and mountains. The kitchen has everything you need to create feasts. The bathroom has a claw foot tub, bubble bath on the shelf and deliciously hot water. I felt as though a friend had welcomed me into their well stocked home. We had a lovely stay and I hope to visit again.

Amazing house with easy private beach access, perfect for tide pooling and birdwatching. Will be staying here again!

Me and my friends stayed one night in this rental and we had an awesome experience. All those things you usually look for in a rental place (cleanliness, communicative owners, etc.) are all present. Deb was an awesome host and just fun to chat with throughout the whole process. I'm definitely gonna book with her again if ever I go to Bainbridge and celebrate a special day/weekend with friends or family. 10/10 experience.
5.0
Wonderful stay. Cannot say enough about the attention the property manager allotted. She was very attentive to ensure we had a great stay. It’s all about the view with this property. It was pretty cold during g our stay but we were content with relaxing and taking just in the view. Incredible!

Deb was the best

The cottage was roomy and had lovely decor. It was such a great space with plenty of rooms and amenities. The property was well kept and the view was spectacular. Right on the water with a wonderful view of Mt. Rainier and Seattle. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

The property is a perfect location for relaxing and unwinding. The views from the living room and deck are spectacular. Deb was the best host ever, highly engaged and provided us with a great amount of information regarding things to do as well as recommended places to eat. This is a place we would come back to for sure. Highly recommend this property!

Great host, beautiful location, excellent communication. We loved our stay! Perfect for a cozy get away. Wish we could have stayed longer!

It was our first time on Bainbridge Island, and I can't imagine a better place to do it. The cottage is comfortable, well-equipped and ideally located. It's surrounded by woods and water, with a killer view of Puget Sound and Mt Rainier (when the weather cooperates.)
When I say 'well-equipped', I've never been in a VRBO provisioned as well as this one. Waiting for us was wine, Prosecco, cheese, salami, Biscoff cookies, and more. One could survive a day or two just on the snacks there.
Deb, our host, was always just a text away, checking in and answering questions, whether about the house or the Seattle ferry.
If you're going to Bainbridge Island, this cottage should be on your short-list.
5.0
The home was beautiful with wonderful views of Seattle and Mt Rainer on a clear day. The house is on the south end of the island so if you do not have a car Uber service is scarce.
The Host, Deb was the best that we have ever had. Her communications were fantastic so much so that she almost acted as our travel guide, recommending restaurants sites etc.
5.0
Perfect start to our girls trip to Washington- the house was warm and cozy with absolutely stunning water view. We had beautiful weather and spotted wildlife from fox to seals. Took morning walks along the sound with a view of lovely waterfront houses and dramatic landscape. The town of Bainbridge also fabulous. Our host was gracious and accommodating, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed! Are definitely planning a repeat trip!

It was a delightful stay at the cottage. We enjoyed the deck, including beautiful views when the mountain was out and the sound of sea lions splashing below (literally—it was idyllic). Deb was very communicative and endeavored to ensure we had a lovely stay. The kitchen was well appointed, the rooms and spaces comfortable, and the welcome treats (charcuterie, wine) much appreciated. Overall a wonderful experience and we’d gladly stay again.

We had a great time at the cozy cottage! Paddle boarding, kayaking, riding bikes to Lynwood center, etc. We really enjoyed Earth and Vine wine bar, Miguelito's Grill & Cantina, Eleven winery, and the best of all was dinner at the Heyday Farm House! The views from the cottage are spectacular, too. We look forward to returning next summer.
5.0
Loved our stay!! The house is even better in person. Very comfortable! Tide pools were full of starfish in the mornings and seals gave us a show most evenings. Plenty to do on Bainbridge, but the house is so nice.. you might want to stay put.

Private home with expansive deck overlooking Puget Sound and view of Mt. Rainier.
Surrounded by large redwoods providing shade and protection of wind. Only 15 min from Bainbridge town center. Lots of hiking options, kayaking.

It was my 4th time to stay here, my friend’s first. The views are amazing, the accommodations are everything you would want or need to enjoy a home away from home. Can’t wait to return.

We celebrated a special family occasion and were so grateful to have everything we could have ever needed there. It is a quiet, secluded street and yet so close to downtown and local trails and parks!

AWESOME PLACE, great hosts. They thought of all the details - the great wine when we arrived. the coffee for the morning, the bikes, the helpfulness of the hosts, the firepit on the shoreline. We recommend this cottage highly and will return.

The house is lovely. All the little touches make it truly special, not to mention the stunning views. Our host was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we could've needed. We really hope to stay here again in the future!

I seldom write reviews, but I feel the experience justified one this time. First, the hostess is amazingly communicative and helpful. She made you feel like you were staying at a friend's house. Second, the house is well appointed with amenities. Third, and certainly not least, the view is incredible. The view of the sound and Mt. Rainer is fantastic from the house and the large deck. You can also see the Seattle skyline from the lower portion of the propety. We also really appreciated the use of kayaks and even saw some seals while there.
5.0
Deb was very nice and attentive. The attention to detail was so nice. 2 bottles of wine/Prosecco. We were able to kayak in the bay and it was beautiful. Only thing I would change was to stay a little closer to the downtown area. But overall very satisfied
5.0
Both Deb and the cottage could not be more lovely. Our suggestion- bring provisions (Heyday Farms Farmstand, Town & Country Market) because you won’t want to leave! Already looking forward to our next ( hopefully soon! ) visit!

Waterfront cottage with amazing views. We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and well stocked, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Our family enjoyed our stay at this waterfront property. It was well stocked with everything one needs for a week’s stay. The owners thought of everything! Very thoughtful touch with starter items for breakfast, coffee, wine (!) and s’mores fixings. The owners were very responsive to our requests and questions. The view was fantastic! Thank you 🙏

Beautiful and private location on the South side of Bainbridge Island. This feels remote but is not far from anything. Wonderful, zen-like water views (Rainer never showed itself during our mostly cloudy stay). We kayaked amongst seals, sea lions and even an otter. Deb is a great communicator, left us wonderful welcome provisions, and the house had everything you might need. Would definitely stay again!

A welcoming cozy cottage. A wonderful location to relax and unwind.

Our family of 5 (3 adult children) spent Thanksgiving at this amazing property. Everything about it was fantastic. Beautiful views of Mt. Rainier and Seattle from the property. From the deck, we watched seals, bald eagles, humming birds, etc. We loved the charming downtown with great shops and restaurants and took beautiful walks to Fort Ward. We drove around the Island and this, by far, was the best location. Just amazing!
5.0
A well needed getaway from the city. Deb made our stay absolutely perfect. Such a stunning location- saw bald eagles, seals & orcas with Rainier in the background. Cozy fireplace, easy access to beach & kayaks, food & drinks upon arrival, superb bedding and amazing communication made this stay top of our list. We will definitely return!

We are already planning our next stay. The view is stunning, the accommodations are cozy, the hosts were great.

What a fabulous way to celebrate my birthday! Deb, Stef, and Ellie were incredibly helpful from the minute I booked the property until the day we said our goodbyes. The house is well cared for and a bit whimsical, with amazing views and comfortable furnishings. We weren't able to enjoy the fire pit or kayaks due to rain, but took lots of walks and enjoyed downtown Winslow. Thanks for a great weekend away!

Two couples enjoyed time at this cozy cottage, watching the water, boats, and sea lions from the great view from inside and outside of cottage. Kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens of any VRBO we have rented. Lovely treats and wine were left for us to enjoy, along with, coffee, english muffins, eggs, and cheese. Very nice experience..

Our first time in Bainbridge to attend a family wedding in IslandWood. We were able to enjoy the wedding, the house, and took day trips from the great location.
Hosts Rico and Deb were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Definitely would return.
