The single-story interior is open and full of light, with sunshine and water views streaming in through the sun porch.

Floor materials in particular are stained and worn. Bathroom is especially in need of tub and flooring update. Porch roof leaks And there is dirt and bird feathers in the space. Ref on porch is in the way of use. Furniture is very old and so funky that I did not sit on any of it. ##### Julie K. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Keven B. Sep 15, 2024 #### Dated but adequate This classic cottage sits above the Puget Sound waterline with a spectacular northern view. Access to the water and public beach can be found just around the block. This property is about 20-30mins away from food/restaurant amenities (see Edison for restaurants, Burlington for groceries). Bring your kayaks, fishing poles, mud boots, and walking shoes for a quiet and serene getaway. Burlington has a Saturday market and La Conner is filled with artisan shops and homemade ice cream desserts. ##### Keven B.
