The owners have thought of every little detail in this cute studio vrbo. Great location to use as a central location to local activities. I would definitley stay here again if and when my adventures take me to Port Angeles.

Pam’s guesthouse was the perfect place for a little solo getaway! I felt like I was staying at a boutique hotel with all the thoughtful amenities. It was clean and private and went beyond my expectations. Would definitely stay here again!

Pamela has thought of everything (and then some!) that a guest might need or want. The converted garage space, in a quiet historic residential neighborhood was the most pristine rental we’ve experienced. Comfy bed, filtered water in the fridge, coffee (no milk), even eggs (probably from the chickens on the opposite end of their house next door.,

Thank you so much for a very comfortable three nights. This little rental is very big on detail and impeccably clean. To our surprise the hosts kindly left us the most beautiful blue speckled eggs in the refrigerator. There are countless thoughtful extras you just can’t imagine. The hosts are very warm and welcoming. We wish them all the best and hope to stay again.

I love this property and stayed here again this year while my teen daughter attended a day camp for the week. The host, Pam is so kind and the cottage so well appointed and organized. It makes me want to go declutter and organize my own house!! Love how close we are to town, the water for peaceful evening walks and will definitely come back if the opportunity presents itself!!

We had a wonderful stay at Pamela’s cottage. The bed and pillows were so comfortable! She had it well stocked with many things to make our stay enjoyable. All communication with Pamela was very prompt.
One day we cycled to the ferry that took us to Lopez island where we enjoyed the sights by bike. Another day we went to Tulalip outlet mall, just an hour away. We enjoyed walks around the quiet and beautiful neighborhood. Sunsets were stunning.
We would happily return!

Can't say enough about how responsive and nice Pam was to work with. She reach out to me hours before check-in letting me know that if I arrived early the place was ready. the amenities were top shop shelf. And I mean every little detail . Kitchen was well stocked. Even fresh eggs and butter in the fridge. I stay at places like this often when I travel. It sure is a delight when you stumble upon a place done as nicely as this one.

The house was perfect, the host was perfect. The wife and i loved this cozy studio, Pam made it feel even cozier with the decor and everything that was provided for us, which was honestly just about everything you would need for a relaxing stay. Its about a block away from the Guemes island ferry you can literally look out the door to see it depart theres a beautiful little beach a walk away from the house. If your thinking of going to Anacortes or anywhere near you need to stay here. I wish i could rate higher cause i would. Thank you so much for the beautiful weekend stay Pam!!

Don't let the name "The Rusty Anchor" fool you! This VRBO is Very clen, beautifully decorated, and in a wonderful location with a view of the sound. Attention has been given to every detail, and you will find no lack of essentials and extras too.

We stayed here celebrating our one year wedding anniversary. Typically small places like this are made as cheaply as possible, with cheap appliances, decorations, furniture, etc so that’s what I was expecting. When I walked in I was SHOCKED at how nice everything was! Even a gas stove range. We loved the robes, fuzzy socks, any toiletries we could ever need, very nice and clean cookware, and the icing on the cake was the eggs in the fridge from the chickens we could see in the yard! The place was so clean we could have eaten off the floor. I wish I could take this place everywhere we traveled!

The property was wonderful. It had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed our short time in the property and in Anacortes walking to and from downtown. We toured the area: the tulip festival; Le Conner, Pam’s dinner recommendation in Le Conner was perfect; Mount Vernon, it was all spectacular. Thanks Pam for the lovely stay.

The cleanliness, coziness, and attention to detail in the guesthouse were absolutely top notch. It was a beautiful, safe location to spend the night before running a marathon on Whidbey island. Will definitely be booking again next time I am in the area! Thank you Pam for being such a wonderful host!

This property is simply amazing. There are so many extra little touches that make it a home away from home. The bedding is extremely comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked and allowed me to cook effortlessly and safely. The fresh eggs from the chickens on-site were delicious. I wish I could have spent more time in this location!!! Go ahead and book it, you won’t be disappointed.

Pamela’s amazing cottage was a pure delight. No stone left unturned in this tastefully decorated, well-thought out cozy space. Pam was so welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. How I wish all accommodations were as stellar as the Rusty Anchor!

This tranquil “home” had all the amenities a guest could need. The space was very clean and delightfully decorated. The extras in the bathroom (e.g., make-up remover, lotion, mouthwash, hand scrub) made the stay even better. We highly recommend!

This property checks all the boxes - we just couldn't have asked for a more perfect "home base" for our introduction to this beautiful part of the world. Pamela has thought of everything! Book with confidence. You're in for a treat!

We had a one night stay in Anacortes before our ferry ride the following morning. Pamela, our host, gave great instructions to make our check in smooth. We were greeted by soft and relaxing music and a welcoming, fresh, and cozy decor! The farm fresh eggs were amazing and we had all the kitchen supplies we needed. I loved all the modern appliances and attention to detail that made our stay so nice! Pamela also gave us a head’s up about a visiting sea lion in the area. We didn’t see it but how cool is that? Thanks Pamela for a great stay!

And a break from cooking and relationship.
Love someone, but need your brain to yourself periodically.
Watched movies, worked on my art and ate great local food. Went to the Bread farm in Edison “the Kindness town” and visited Cap Santé for a breath-giving view. La Conner for a Fiber Arts and Quilt museum exhibit.
Most excellent retreat. Pam was the best.

Outstanding!
Firstly, let me say that we had a fairly last minute change of plans and the owner was super accommodating and went above and beyond to allow a refund and allow us to change dates. She did not have to do that and it was very much appreciated! The suite is beautiful, roomy, comfortable, and in a great location. In addition, the personal touches and conveniences that have been added would make anyone feel right at home. Our only regret is that we weren’t able to stay longer. Highly recommend!

Peace and Quiet at the Rusty Ancho
This property was easy to book, access, and stay at. It was quite clean and comfortable and no detail was missed. The fresh eggs were a plus! The Rusty Anchor is located within walking distance to downtown and the water. Easy access to catch a ferry to visit the other islands. I was looking for peace and quiet and I found it! Pamela was a great host!
