About this property

Charming Waterfront Cottage-NO CLEANING FEE-Water, Mountain & Sunset View

Located on Holmes Harbor just 12 miles from the Mukilteo/Clinton ferry, this well appointed and charming cottage is comfortable for short or long stays and features beautiful views, a cozy wood burning fireplace, hammock for enjoying the view and napping, easy to use gas firepit on the deck, and it's own private sandy beach for walking, sunning or swimming, small orchard and peaceful woods.

Reliable, high speed internet with WiFi is included. The cottage is perfect for those who want to vacation while working remotely and need a change of scenery getaway, where they can continue to work virtually, while being surrounded by beautiful views and natures refreshing peace and quiet.

The compact kitchen, although small, has a full size refrigerator with freezer and all cooking implements, pots and pans etc., needed to prepare meals. The kitchen is outfitted with an induction cooktop built into the counter, Keurig coffee maker with K-Cup pods included, electric skillet, waffle iron and large toaster oven. During the colder months the old fashioned wood burning cook stove can be used for cooking and makes the cottage really cozy warm, so best only used during winter. In addition there is an outdoor Weber charcoal grill available for BBQ and Roasting any time of the year.

Upon arrival, drive down the wooded lane past the serene pond and lush orchard populated by our friendly geese. Enjoy the sweeping water and mountain views from inside and outside from the full length deck. A privacy fence and "scenic view point" Gazebo for guest use occupy the undeveloped lot between the cottage and the owners home. Use the stairs just steps from the expansive and newly rebuilt deck with easy to use gas firepit and just the other side of the Gazebo, to access the beach.

One of the highlights of the cottage is the spectacular view from the cozy window seat or comfy queen size bed. The huge picture windows look directly out to the mountains, water, sunset and the bright stars at night. A sun shade on the outside of the bedroom picture window can be pulled down for privacy and for shade to block the hot sun in the afternoons or tone down the morning light if you want to sleep in.

Bring your own smart device for streaming content to the large screen TV in the bedroom via HDMI cable or Google Chromecast once you've logged into the cottage high speed internet WiFi. There's also a DVD and VHS player attached to the TV with a nice selection of movies provided.

The private sandy beach is very walk-able except during the highest tides. There is a large deck with picnic table and benches for sitting and laying out on when the tide is in. Our little shallow and sandy cove is also great for a refreshing swim on hot evenings, so bring your suits!

Langley, "The Village by the Sea", the entertainment center of South Whidbey is a quick 10 minute drive or the perfect scenic bike ride away! And, the cottage is only 3 miles from Payless Foods, a fabulous full service Grocery store in Freeland, the nearest town, has an excellent selection of fresh seafood, including the best fresh salmon and dungeness crab you can get anywhere.

Whidbey Getaway
We enjoyed the view of the sound. Hammock and window seat were restful and renewing. Sitting out on the deck with fire pit was mesmerizing. Appreciated the bottled water to offset sulfur tap water. Great place to relax, read and sleep.

Perfect
This place was a great find. Very cute little cottage with beautiful views and sunsets. Host lives on site and responds quickly. Close to downtown Freeland and a few other charming towns. Not a family place as it's only a 1 bedroom but it would be great as a couples long weekend get away.

Most relaxing anniversary getaway
My wife and I loved everthing about this cottage. The views, the privacy, and all the cozy places to relax or snuggle up and read a book. Loved cooking our meals in the cottage, and especially on the wood cook stove. The owner put a lot of sweet details into the cottage; fresh flowers, chocolates, wood for the fire, etc.We did go out and adventure around the towns but truly felt like we should have spent all our time in the cottage. All in all, this was one of the most enjoyable places we have vacationed to, and will recommend it to everyone we know.

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Cerra

Host profile image
This recently remodeled cottage has been in my family since I was a kid. I grew up coming here from Seattle every weekend that we could get away. I moved to Whidbey Island as a young adult and raised my family here. In addition to managing the cottage for my Mother, I work at the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts (WICA), the local performing arts center in Langley.

Why they chose this property

Our waterfront property has it all, it's own beautiful secluded sandy beach which is one of the best saltwater swimming beaches on South Whidbey Island. The long stretch of flat sandy tidelands cause the water to warm up very nicely on sunny summer days. The property has huge fir and cedar trees, a peaceful reflecting pond at the edge of the woods and a sweet orchard with blackberry bushes next to it for summer pies. We love being able to share our property with others who will enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

The cottage features stunning views from both inside and out and features comfy seating areas, both inside and out, for enjoying the views or cozying up with a good book. It has built in seating in the living room bay window, built in bench on the deck as well as very nice patio furniture, a hammock and a gazebo. The beach also features a private deck with picnic table and benches as well as lots of soft warm sand to stretch out on. Inside the cottage there is both a wood burning fireplace and wood burning cook stove to keep you warm and toasty during the winter and stormy days.
