Cozy and rustic two bedroom cottage within walking distance to Deception Pass State Park, directly across the street from Deception Pass Marina in Cornet Bay. The location can't be beat for crabbing and fishing trips. The triple boat launch and brand new public dock is 1/4 mile down the road in the park. The front lawn is across the street from the ocean. We have the largest lot in the neighborhood and it includes fruit trees, a garden, BBQ and kayaks. The space LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! - We have the largest lot in the neighborhood (fully fenced with gates) and it includes fruit trees, a garden, hammock, fire pit, picnic tables and a BBQ. -Walled in sun room functions as extended living space and has great views. -The house was remodeled recently (fall 2022). The place is cozy, minimal and rustic, not lux, but has everything you need for a fun trip. -The two bedrooms have queen beds. -The living room has a large L-shaped couch that can sleep an adult and also there is a TV with Direct TV. -5 guest maximum -Full kitchen, bathroom and small dining table. -There is a laundry building separate from the house and we have lots of room for parking. -The outdoor shower is awesome in the sun! -There is a chicken coop next to the orchard area. We'll give you fresh eggs during your stay as available. The owner, my mom, may be around periodically tending to the animals/yard but will be sure to give you space. -Dogs may be approved on a case by case basis and require a $50 pet cleaning fee *There is a fully detached and separate building from the main house that houses the laundry and a guest/mother-in-law style apt. My mom, the owner, may or may not be staying in it when guests rent the house. She would keep to her self and you would have privacy, but the building is in the middle of the property, not far from the house. If she is around and you need anything, help with the kayaks, suggestions, etc. she is right there! In the past, she has taken guests crabbing, clamming, etc. Check our reviews, she's a hoot. *My mom has two very friendly, outdoor cats that stay in the big shop building on the property. If you have dogs or don't want the cats to be around, they can be kept inside the shop during your stay. Your dogs may see them through the windows. Please let me know. There is so much to do outside in the immediate surrounding area or within a short drive. The town of Oak Harbor is 15 minutes south for groceries, wine, antiquing, etc. Deception Pass Bridge is within trail walking distance or about a 5 minute drive (literally around the corner), Anacortes is 20 minutes north. Fishing, crabbing, hiking, biking, kayaking or just plain relaxing are at your fingertips. There is a boat launch and dock right down the street. Walking distance to the Goose Rock trail with amazing views, which is the big hill on the other side of the water from the marina and the highest point on Whidbey Island, and the top of Mt. Erie is about a 15 minute drive away on Fidalgo Island. This is an easy 1.5 hour drive from Seattle or Vancouver B.C. so its just far enough from the cities to experience the rustic island vibe but not be too far away. Perfect for a long weekend or a couple weeks to decompress. You can also take the Mukilteo to Clinton ferry if you're coming from the south end but ferry reservations are recommended in the summer due to high usage and potentially long wait times. Its a nice trip but plan ahead to reduce travel time! Guest access Guests will have full access to the house, yard, garden, fruit trees, laundry room and plenty of parking. There is a workshop/storage building that is locked up that guests will have no need or access to. Kayaks may be used in good weather with signed liability waivers. Please discuss with us in person. Other things to note -There is a Navy base on the island. Every once in a while you may see or hear a jet in the sky. Typically it's not noticeable but you never know. Two or three people have mentioned it out of over 100 guests ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Read our reviews to see what people think of this place! -Since we are out in the county and across from the ocean, we are on a septic system and have well water. Please go easy on the toilet. We have a big bottled spring water dispenser and also bottled water for every guest. -This is an old, small cottage that got a remodel recently. Everything works and the location is great but there are some creaks and quirks and that is what gives it character and makes it unique. Think modernized beach cabin vibes!
