“SeaStar Cottage” - Beautiful west side Whidbey Island! Check date for Specials!
About this cottage rental
Located in Greenbank, this lovely cottage for $271 per night is a great choice for your next break. Hello Vacationers! Thank you for your interest in the Seastar cottage! SPECIALS!!!! Come to Whidbey Island in January, February or March… Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday for only $129 per night! Other nights are discounted also! Note :-) I think some Vacationers would like to know that I do 100% of the cleaning between Vacationers myself. I am the owner, Greg Cosgrove. I usually schedule/block a day or two between vacationers so I can take my time and wipe/disinfect completely all bathroom and kitchen surfaces, including all floors. All linens, towels, blankets and such are laundered between Vacationer‘s as I have always provided the cleanest and most comfortable environment. Thank you. Enjoy the best of Whidbey Island in our wonderful island home we affectionately call the “Seastar Cottage". Our cottage is located in the quaint beach community of Bon Air on the preferred West side of Whidbey Island. We are so excited to share this magical place with folks just like you! Please enjoy your Whidbey Island stay! Upon your arrival there will be a Welcome note with Whidbey Island or Starbucks coffee, cocoa, popcorn and other goodies for our vacationers! Yes, high speed Wifi and expanded cable are good to go! The “Seastar” is a great open beam view home with two bedrooms and one full bath. In the second bedroom, you have your choice of two twin beds or a queen! Whatever you would like! Super comfortable living room with rustic table made from recycled wood off the beach below! There is a wraparound deck facing the water, along with a large yard with fruit trees. There are great views of the snow capped Olympic Mountains, shipping lanes, ferries crossing, Port Townsend and of course gorgeous sunsets! Did you want eagles, hummingbirds, sea lions and whales? Just to name a few of our friends! Central Whidbey Island gets less than half the rainfall Seattle gets and that means dryer days with lots of amazing sunny days! Great spot for romantic getaways, family vacation or friends getting together!. Great for couples or families with small kids too! There are a number of things to like about the Sea Star Cottage! The Bon Air beach community and our beloved Driftwood Way.... well, it is a wonderful place to live or vacation and the 2 min walk to the beach is so easy for all ages! You are on Admiralty Bay… Across from Port Townsend and view the main shipping channel for all of Puget sound! Considered by many to have the best sunsets on Whidbey Island as you look west across the Olympic Mountains and Admiralty Bay! NOTE: We are also a pet free home. We know you love them. Thank you. NOTE: We have a four person limit. Thank you for understanding. Remember, you’re on island time, relax and take another beach walk! Driftwood Way is a very quiet street that ends down on our Bon Air community private beach so simply walk down the Driftwood Way road and experience Whidbey Island beaches and start making memories... some of my favorite Vacationers could not make it in their normal time slot… But that opens it up for you!

The house was excellent and was very comfortable and clean. The deck view of the water was really great. Only problem was originally finding the place. Google maps directs you to a locked gate up the hill to the east of the house. Once we figured that out we had a great stay.

We had a perfect stay at Greg's place. It was comfortable and clean and in ideal location that had a view of the water and was a very short walking distance to a private beach. We will definately stay here again.

What a wonderful property. It was the perfect cozy cottage in a very quiet neighborhood and easily accessible to other areas of the island. The view is amazing from the deck and the short walk down to the private beach is a must see. We were tight on time to visit deception pass on our trip and requested a late check out to be able to come back for showers before leaving the island. Greg was very responsive and kind to allow us plenty of time to do so. We had a wonderful time at the cottage and hope to come back again.

We had a quick stop on our way back to Seattle - it was such a lovely stay, we wished we could have stayed longer. The house was comfortable and so well- stocked for any need you may have. The beach is a very short walk, yard was lovely. But the highlight is the amazing views from the living area and deck - so nice and a great way to enjoy your morning coffee. Thoughtful gift basket with goodies as well. :) Highly recommend!

Whidbey getaway
Very clean and comfortable. The beach is a few minute's walk from the house and at low tide you can walk for miles. Greg's communication with us was excellent. Don't use Google maps to find the house. It doesn't know where it is. Greg sends you the correct directions.

Very comfortable, with all of the kitchen and bathroom basics that we needed. Quiet neighborhood and woods on two sides, which makes it feel private. Lovely view down to the water.

Perfect :)
The property was adorable and super clean; thoughtfully stocked and had a fantastic view to enjoy. When my best friend mistakenly left her engagement and wedding ring behind, Greg went out of his way to get it back to her. Such a kind gesture. We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

Cozy, clean, friendly beach house
We had a wonderful stay at the Seastar cottage. The house had easy access to a wonderful Beach, nice big windows, and still cozy on rainy days. Our kids, 4&6, fell in love with the second bedroom and we all enjoyed the selection of games. Master bed was very comfortable! The kitchen had everything you would need and the bathroom was cute and clean. The wifi connection was awesome, and we were able to complete my son's online distance learning with no problems. Centrally located, we were able to easily explore the whole island. Renters should be aware that there is occasional jet noise from the base, but of our 10 day stay, there was only 1 when it was exceptionally loud, and the other days, we were able to pretend it was just waves crashing on the shore (this is all of course beyond the owners control.) The owner was wonderful to work with, was in good communication, and made sure we had everything we needed (he even brought over new chalk for the kids). Our littlest says he no longer likes the mainland and only wants to live on an island. Overall a wonderful experience!

Weaving trip to Whidbey island
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage, from peaceful morning views of oceangoing ships on the water to sunset views of the mountains and watching fish jump and driftwood drift, in between.

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Sea Star Cottage. We enjoyed the beautiful view from the house and the deck, and enjoyed many walks on the beach which was just a short walk away on a very quiet street. The kitchen and bath had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and we even enjoyed some cable TV in the living room after long, fun days touring the area. We highly recommend Sea Star Cottage on Whidbey Island.

Great for beach walking
Wonderful short walk to secluded beach with lots of shells and driftwood to explore. Property was very clean, and morning coffee on the deck included a view of the deer visiting the front yard! Appreciated the games in the living room—hadn’t played Yahtzee in forever.

Very Quiet Peaceful Location With a Great View
This very clean 2-bedroom home is secluded and quiet. There are only a few other homes at the end of a very winding - a small part graveled- road (I needed GPS to get back home the first few times) so it is very quiet with a perfect view of the ships coming and going from Seattle. The instructions for heating and TV / cable were perfect and easy. The kitchen was well equipped for everything I needed to cook during the week. The master bedroom with the queen bed was perfect and the other bedroom with two twins would be perfect for children. It was very restful and quiet. Perfect getaway from all the stress of work and pandemic life.

The location is unbelievable, great ocean view with the olympic mountains in the background, and it's set back in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Spent endless hours sitting on the patio and looking at the water :) Also, the house came well-appointed with everything we needed (kitchen and bath very well stocked!), and the owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Would love to come back soon!

Relaxing Getaway On Whidbey Island
This is a very comfortable and cozy vacation property with beautiful view and easy access to a long stretch of sandy Sound beach. The home is very clean and well stocked. Beautiful location, feels secluded but has easy access to Hwy 525. Well suited for family with youngsters as well as a couple. Would use it again for a short, quiet getaway from city life.

Perfect spot!
Greg’s beach house is located on one of the most beautiful stretch of beach we’ve seen on Whidbey. You can literally walk for miles. The house is immaculate and cozy and the view is gorgeous. Thoughtful touches throughout the well-stocked house. We’ll be back!

Quarantine Getaway
Spontaneous getaway for Easter weekend. The Seastar Cottage felt like home. Super cozy! Everything we needed was there. My daughter loved the "rainbow" room. The view of the water is amazing and just a short walk to the beach. Bring layers as mornings and evenings gets chilly. Great place and we will be back!
