LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

This is a cozy, 2 bedroom cottage within walking distance to Deception Pass State Park. Its directly across the street from Cornet Bay Marina and the front yard is a stone's throw from the beach.

- 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.
-Covered and 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 and bathroom with everything you need for a group as well as a small dining table.
-There is a laundry room attached to the garage outside if you need and we have lots of room for parking.
-We just set up an outdoor shower. It's awesome in the sun!
-There is a chicken coop next to the orchard area. We'll give you fresh eggs during your stay. The owner, my mom, will need to stop by daily to feed and water them and hand you some eggs. She will work out when she will stop by depending on when its convenient for you.

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. The hike up Goose Rock is great, which is the big hill on the other side of the water from the marina, 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!

**Dogs may be approved on a case by case basis and require a $40 pet cleaning fee per dog if approved.

Please 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 its not noticeable but you never know. If you are especially sensitive to noise please consider this.
-Kayaks may be used in good weather after signing liability waivers. Please discuss with us in person.
-Since we are out in the county and across from the ocean, we are on a septic system and well. Please go easy on the toilet. The water can have a funky smell at times but is fine for showering, clean up, etc. Everyone in the neighborhood has the same water. We have a big bottled spring water dispenser and also bottled water for every guest.
