Cottage by the Sea - Cliffside Island Views, Beaches, Lakes

Spectacular sea views of Alan, Burrows and Lopes Islands along with the Olympic Mountains are here for you to enjoy in our Cottage By the Sea. Small grassy lawn and patio provide lovely place to hang out while enjoying garden views as well as sweeping 180+ degree unobstructed ocean views. Whales can occasionally be seen from the yard.

10 minutes to Anacortes Ferry Dock
5 minutes to Beautiful Rosario Beach
7 minutes to Deception Pass.
3-5 minutes to Lakes Erie and Campbell
20 minutes to La Conner Tulip Festival

You will have complete run of this cottage which sits adjacent to the larger home which we live in. There is a grassy lawn and patio between the cottage and cliff side fence for shared enjoyment by your hosts and other guests which may also be staying on the property. Inside you will find a nice comfy sofa, TV with ROKU, Netflix, etc., kitchen stocked with plates, glasses, cutlery, pots, pans, etc, refrigerator, private bath, private bedroom with queen size bed and nightstands. All furnishings and supplies are of good quality.

Look up the Mattress you will be sleeping on: Amazon - Zinus Memory Foam 12 Inch Green Tea Mattress, comfortable!

Living room sofa contains a COMFORTABLE pull out queen bed. We have modified the pull out sofa to give it the needed support and comfort you would expect from a standard bed.

CLEANING FEE - For most parties, the cleaning fee we are asking for is reasonable and covers the actual cost of cleaning...and we get the HIGHEST MARKS for great cleaning from our guests. However, we've had a few parties that left the place trashed...5 hours of cleaning! We tried raising the cleaning fees, and then giving partial refunds to most people...it was a pain to manage and reduced our bookings. So we ask you to clean up well so we can keep the fee reasonable...AND EXPECT US TO ASK FOR MORE MONEY TO COVER CLEANING IF YOUR PARTY COSTS US MORE THAN 3 HOURS OF CLEANING.

Last Minute Bookings, No Worries, we are staying on top of it and will respond quickly to your request.

ROAD NOISE: We do have some road noise. MOST guests barely notice it. SOME guests do have issues with it. If you are highly sensitive to noise or can't stop focusing on it, then this is not the place for you. We live here and rarely notice it. It is the worst when standing outside in the drive way and trying to have a conversation, at times the sound of cars driving by does interfere with hearing other people talk. But inside of the units, out back enjoying the amazing views, which is where most people spend most of their time, most people don't even notice it. It is barely audible.

Great location, cozy place
We really enjoyed our stay. The place had everything we needed and the view from the shared garden/yard area was phenomenal. The only surprise was how close the cottage was to the main house (just a sidewalk between the two buildings) but that was not a huge problem. The location is ideal- close to Deception Pass and Washington Park, as well as downtown Anacortes.

Cottage by the Sea
House is neat and antiquated, cozy but the bathroom needs to be updated especially the fixtures and the shower faucet was in reverse! Was waiting for the water to get hot all the while it was pointed at the wrong direction!! Hot is spitting cold and vice versa.The shower very small and narrow, it can only accommodate a tiny person who is u fee 5 feet or else your head is going to hit the ceiling!! Kitchen wasn’t stocked with seasonings, only coffee and tea!! Fridge doesn’t even have water!! It was empty except for coffee creamers.The host was always busy each time you want to get in touch with them.. either she was out or driving around! When y left a message, she would respond like 4-5 hrs later!

Highly recommend!
My best friend and our two small dogs wanted to get away for a couple days and we were looking at the San Juan Islands, but when the Cottage by the Sea cottage came up in my search it was perfect! Not only was it closer (to Seattle) but the price was great, and the view was just as fabulous as the islands… just on the other side. Our stay in the cottage was idyllic and the hosts were so helpful and personable, truly just like family we’d somehow known prior to meeting them for the first time. Shyni and her daughter think of every detail to make visitor stays as homey and comfortable as possible. Everything was exceptionally clean and well stocked. The yard area is shared by all rental units, which is fun but if you prefer privacy the hosts will graciously respect that as well. The only negative is that our time there was too short, but we will be back for a longer time next time!

Beautiful views of Burrows bay
Lovely cottage overlooking Burrows Bay. Small perfect stay for two. Comfortably simplistic. Owner provided helpful information about the area upon booking. She was also on sight to meet & greet upon arrival. Meeting their two dogs was an added bonus.
