Soft Sands, Ocean Waves: Beach Front Garden Cottage!

"Beautiful sandy beach
Sunrises and sunsets
Ships go by, eagles fly
Mountain peaks with snow in distance
Sea creatures swim in the waves"

Surrounded by mountain, forest, garden, wild life, and the best secluded private sandy beach in this area, our no bank ocean front cottage feels quiet and far away, yet it is only two miles from downtown Kingston with shops and ferries (35min to downtown Seattle, 25min to Edmonds). Nearby gardens, little towns, Olympic mountains, and hot springs are also waiting for you to explore.

Puget Sound retreat
Such a beautiful area of Puget Sound! Gorgeous view of the water with Edmonds across the Sound. Low tide is like being inside the Touch Tank at the aquarium. Abundant with marine life! The beach at high tide is sandy and lovely to walk on or sit and enjoy the view with otters, sea lions, osprey, etc. Also, very quiet and peaceful. The house is older but comfortable and clean. We loved our stay there.

Even though it was an older property, it was in good shape and very functional. Short walk to beach and great view from front windows... Also good location for poking around the area.

Serenity Now!
There’s not much more I can say outside of FANTASTIC!!! The property was exactly as described, which just doesn’t do it justice! It’s located down a nice private drive, away from the hustle and bustle of other tourists such as myself going to and fro from the ferry. Which is conveniently close as well. And the shops in Kingston and Edmonds were truly wonderful and friendly to visit. I can’t say enough about the cottage though. It was fantastic and it was just what we needed to enjoy our trip. It was amazing to wake up in the morning and go outside and enjoy my coffee with the very serene view and nature surrounding the area. Felt very much at home, and was able to find peace and calmness as we started each day and ended every evening. I will definitely be back!

Weird cottage
This is the most thrown together property I have ever seen. It felt like something patched together from the refurbished store. Seriously, the pink bathtub had a 3/4” ball valve on it for the shower. The doors are so weird, no two match and it has lanyards as door pulls. The beach view is gorgeous, but for the price skip this one.

Incredible Location!
House is cozy & rustic, but space is used well and we had everything we needed. The location simply can’t be beat!! Just steps to a sandy beach that we had to ourselves the entire time we were there. We loved watching the big ships that pass by and saw bald eagles on every beach walk. My kids had SO much fun exploring and finding “treasures.” We spent our evenings by a fire on the beach, watching the sunset and making s’mores. Made some great memories and will definitely come back to this area again! Just a note: This isn’t listed as a “guest cottage,” but the owner does live right next to the house and was around during our stay. Tanya was very kind and accommodating, but if you feel uncomfortable about the owner being around, this may not be the place for you. Otherwise, would absolutely recommend!

Orcas, Eagles and more!
I love this place!! Can’t wait to come back next year. I saw orcas two different days, Eagles almost every day, sea lions, deer and more. Huge ships go right by!! Tanya and her husband are the best hosts! This house is exactly as described. I had everything I needed. Comfy beds, beautiful views from all of the front side windows, full size fridge and stove, washer and dryer. I was there 12 nights and was sad to leave. Kingston and the surrounding area have alot to offer in the way of experiences. If you are looking for peace and tranquillity with a large dose of wildlife and views this is the place for you.

A delightful cottage!
We absolutely enjoyed this wonderful, comfortable home. It is a small cottage but the layout provides enough room and good spaces and privacy for family members. We had everything we needed, plus access to the best sandy beach! So close to many restaurants, shops, sight seeing, and the ferry. Our thanks to Tanya for a very special visit.

We rented this unit for a family get together and everything was as described, including the wildlife sightings. One morning, my daughter was able to sit on the beach and watch 4 sea otters frolick about 10 yards off shore, and there were a couple resident deer sightings as well.

This house is 2 miles from town in a very quiet location with a beautiful view of Puget Sound and distant mountains from the big living room windows. There are 2 houses very near it, and the house could use some updating, but it worked great for us and the host was very nice.

Nice quiet time on the beach.
We booked this property for a two night stay. We had a lovely quiet day on the beach the first day we were there. The beach is pretty secluded with only a small number of homes nearby. The second day felt rushed and stressful trying to get the cleaning done and out by 11am. To be fair, we have a small child, so there is always more cleaning to do. I think I would enjoy it more if I had time for a longer stay.

Rental in Kingston
It looked great on the web sight. It is very old and has a terrible musty smell. Bedrooms under the beds were dirty. Not a very well stocked kitchen. Very expensive for the quality we got. The beach was wonderful and location but for the house would never stay there again. Would nor recommend.
