About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Waterfront home, steps to the beach in protected bay! Birding, kayaking, swim.
Bring the family for a staycation or work with high speed WiFi with a beautiful view. Peaceful. Tranquil. Breathtaking views await you at Similk Bay Beach House! An Easy 75 min. drive from Seattle (no ferry needed!) Located right on the water & just a few steps down to enjoy beach exploration or kayaking the bay (bring your own). Swinomish Golf Course is WALKING DISTANCE from the house. Deception Pass for hiking. Anacortes & LaConner mere minutes. Or tiptoe through the Skagit Valley tulips!
You and your guests can enjoy the entire cottage. If anyone has mobility issues, no worries as there are no stairs needed to enter the home and move about the living space; open kitchen to dining room (seats 8) and living room, plus private queen bedroom and semi-private bedroom with full bed and pull out twin and full bathroom round out the main kevel. You will need to maneuver stairs to enjoy the beach and upstairs private ensuite, but the view is breathtaking on the covered porch which requires NO STAIR USE. All hardwoods throughout.
Bedroom layout: Main level has a private queen bedroom and off the back of the house is a full bed and rollout twin bed (under full bed) room that is semi private with a privacy curtain. You enter this back room to access the stairs to the private master ensuite. The upstairs suite is private with a barn style door. The back bedroom and master suite is excellent for families with children or another couple.
Wonderful beach feel cottage. You'll be wishing you had more time to sit back and relax, to take in the sounds of the lapping water or sitting back to watch the heron, eagles, osprey, migratory winter birds, seagulls, seals and other wildlife that call this bay home.

Serene and beautiful
The place is remote and reminded me of a place a writer would love because it’s so serene and quiet. The view is spectacular! Great communication with the host who gave great instructions. Great for a family gathering.

Beware of Unjustified Charges and Frustration: A Disappointing VRBO Experience
I recently had the unfortunate experience of staying at a VRBO house for two nights, and I feel compelled to share my negative review. Our stay began on a promising note, with us being quiet, respectful guests who adhered to all of the cleaning requirements outlined by the host. However, what followed has left me extremely frustrated and disappointed.
The crux of the issue revolves around the host's unwarranted attempt to charge us an additional $720 after our stay. The reason? They claimed that we had two additional guests staying with us who were coming and going all weekend. This assertion is not only baseless but completely false. We had my in-laws over for a coffee during our stay, which lasted less than two hours. They certainly did not stay overnight or occupy any bedrooms.
The host's blatant attempt to charge us for non-existent guests feels like nothing short of an attempt to take advantage of us financially. It's disheartening to think that a host would resort to such tactics to squeeze more money out of their guests. As a result of this unjustified charge, I am now forced to dispute the charges with VRBO, which is adding unnecessary stress and consuming valuable time. This entire experience has been nothing but a headache, and I would strongly advise anyone considering staying at this property to think twice and explore other options. Save yourself the trouble and frustration – do not stay here!

WONDER stay on the water.
We brought our kids to Whidbey Island to show them the area we used to live. We went to Anacortes for a whale watching trip and watched F-18’s in the pattern over Whidbey Island NAS. The stay was so relaxing. Thanks for letting us enjoy your special place.

Re-exploring Skagit County
A peaceful, beautiful, property to use as a base for exploration of tulip fields, Deception Pass, San Juan islands. Our small family enjoyed every moment at this wonderful rental. We are originally from Skagit County and what a perfect spring visit from our home in Montana. We will definitely return.

Spring break in the San Juan islands.
Family get away for first timers to the NW US. Anacortes is a perfect location for access to the San Juan's and whales and stunning nature hikes. This was a lovely cottage set directly on the bay with privacy, nature and beauty just out the window. The icing on the cake would be kyack out the back porch.

Excellent Getaway for Six Childhood Girlfriends
Beautiful drive, location and view. Perfectly situated for island hopping and shopping (especially easy to walk on to the ferry, but watch the schedules!). Lots of great restaurants in La Conner, Anacortes and islands. Beach house was perfect for lounging around and enjoying the view from kitchen/dining/great room. Bedroom/beds are probably ideal for two couples and 3-4 kids, but we made it work. Thank you for sharing your home!
