Bay Cottage Waterfront Home
About this house rental
Situated in Greenbank, this charming house for $417 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Perched dramatically on a cliff overlooking Honeymoon Bay, sits the enchanting Bay Cottage. It's a magical setting with such a unique charm and peaceful feel...there's a gentle spirit to the house and setting that one can't miss. It's calming. Upon your arrival you may be thrilled by the cry of the local bald eagles soaring above the towering trees that frame the Bay Cottage. The eagle's cries, just over your head, will stop you in your tracks - and you'll listen. As you approach closer, passing through the kitchen into the great room, two sets of floor-to-ceiling French doors reveal even more. The view will literally lure you to step out onto the large wrap-around deck. There, you'll take a fresh breath of sea air and absorb the magnificent mountain views on the horizon, dominated by Mt. Baker. Closer below, in Honeymoon Bay, is a postcard perfect view of fishing and sail boats in the bay. At night, the gentle bobbing of the mast lights at anchor sets a visual metronome that adds to the peacefulness of the setting. There are covered walk around decks that allow you to move freely around the property. You will marvel at all of the plantings, the work of a master gardener, and be amazed at how it almost seems to be a different eco system with each corner you turn. Such is the charm of the grounds of the Bay Cottage. The interior is not less of a marvel. The decor is upscale, warmly whimsical and welcoming, with many touches that will delight. The consulting designer, Rebecka Regis, sought a gentler woman's touch, with colors, textures, and designer lighting that set the mood, warmed the spirit, and provided a calming environment that would remove guest from their workaday world. She succeeded. The walls are painted in soothing Tuscan tones and the linens and fabrics brighten every room to complement the cottage's growing art collection. The floors, except for evergreen slate in the entryway, are rich, warm hardwoods, graced by beautiful collector's rugs. The master bedroom, which is light and bright, is the hallmark of the home with charming accents, and flowing curtains that evoke the ethereal feel of the famed old Delano Hotel in Miami's South Beach. For the ultimate sleeping indulgence, claim the room with the queen sized Tempur-Pedic bed. Marvel at the French doors that open to a private water view and sitting area that allows you to slip discreetly to the uniquely situated cliff's edge hot tub. This is a hot soak you will never forget! This suite also features an utterly charming private bathroom - imagine heated floors and true spa shower system pampering you. For the gardener in the family, the patio bedroom's French doors open to a sunny warm cobblestone garden patio with antique wrought iron furniture. It is here, next to the giant lavender climbing clematis, where birds, raccoons and bunnies may wander by as you enjoy your morning coffee. You'll also see deer tracks as there many deer raise their young in the nearby forest...be careful when you pull out of the drive, they are often there. After breakfast, warm your feet on the second bathroom's heated floors, or take a leisurely bath in the old fashioned claw foot tub...what a fun indulgence. If relaxing, pondering the view, reading or movie watching is on the agenda, then curl up on one of the over stuffed sofas and wrap yourself in one of our warm throws. Or just tuck yourself into one of the cottage's two reading nooks, or out on the covered veranda. Add some warmth and romance with candles, surround-sound music, a fire, and maybe a good wine. Now you are feeling better. Of course there is stereo flat screen TV entertainment system if you want to watch one of your old favorites; there is a good selection of movies in the seaside village of Freeland at the end of the Harbor. If you muster up the energy, you can take a walk down your own private path to the beach sunning area below. When it comes to dinner, but no rush, there is a true gourmet kitchen awaiting. The fully-appointed custom designed country kitchen has everything you want with all amenities and stainless steel appliances. It's a great place to cook and keep up dialogue with your family and friends as the kitchen area opens to an antique chandelier lit dining area with a charming country table. From there the great room design flows to a beautiful, romantically lit living room centered around a wondrous hearth and fireplace whose design dates from when the home was built decades ago by an old sea captain. You never doubt why he picked this spot after a life at sea to settle down. If you want a truly restful, calming vacation, or just a weekend away to unwind, recharge or reconnect with a loved one, the Bay Cottage was built for you.

Loved the place. Saw and loved Ciottage A also. Will come again. BUT, you need to put a single bed in the 3rd room, so you have room for a thin dresser and bed stand/table. You need to put a wood (stable) triangle hard stand in the "master Queen Bed bathroom" The flimsy wire corner stand is useless.
Loved the heated bathroom floors. In summer I'd like to turn them off, but we couldn't figure out how.
You need to fix the 16x binoculars eye piece and get them working. That is essential for a bay view house.
The kitchen clock was off by a minute.......... Kidding.
Loved the place.

We loved this cottage. The beds were comfy and the house set up for everything we needed. Managers were responsive. Lovely spot to stay on lovely Whidby island!

Visiting Whidbey Island was on our bucket list, and this cottage made our vacation all that we had hoped it would be! The home is beautiful and comfortable; the views from the deck are amazing. We made daily outings exploring every corner of the island, but our favorite time was just relaxing at the cottage. Thank you for making your home for others to enjoy!

We loved staying at Bay Cottage. Enjoyed our eagle neighbors and the deer who came to visit. Relaxed in the hot tub, enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, loved the dimmer switches on all the lights. Bay Cottage gave us the perfect home base for our Whidbey vacation.

I'm unable to review the property because I never received the entry code to get inside from the property manager, who claimed to have sent it but was out of the country during the dates of my reservation and couldn't be reached by phone, text, or VRBO message. I'm quite sure the property would have merited top scores if we'd actually seen it. The grounds were lovely though.

We had such a wonderful time staying here. The property is even nicer than the pictures and description with an amazing hot tub that looks out over the bay. The house was lovely and clean and we loved cooking in the amazing kitchen that had everything we needed. Gina was an amazing host who was incredibly responsive and generous. We would love to come back! <3

The house is wonderful, the deck and the view are outstanding! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would come back in a second. There was plenty of room for 5 adults. A manual on how to use the fire pit, hot tub, gas grill, fireplace, TV remotes and shower would be helpful. We read directions on things when possible but it would just be easier and less stressful if a manual was available.

The property is beautiful. The gardens give the feeling of a very private hide-a-way.
Well equipped kitchen. Good washer and dryer with detergent and dryer sheets.
Wonderful patios with hot tub and fire pit.
Beds comfortable with nice bedding and lots of pillow options.
Bathrooms very small, so if you have mobility issues, beware. The claw foot tub looks great, but the water goes everywhere. We ended up all sharing one shower to minimize the mess. The walk in shower was roomy with hand held shower head and massaging side jets on one size and standard shower head on the other end of the shower!
Steep path to the beach, but worth the walk. Eagles were on the next door dock everyday!
Wish we could have stayed longer!

Bay Cottage is a charming and a very comfortable place to stay. Beyond the beautiful view, the fenced-in front garden was actually one of our favorite spots to hangout. The property is serene and quiet and the home is well appointed with dishes, comfortable beds, TV's etc. My only comment would be the beach access is further down than I was picturing when we booked and not very navigable for small children, however it didn't bother us! We loved enjoying the view and Whidbey has many other beautiful beaches to enjoy as a family! All in all this was a great central location for exploring the island and we'd love to return again!

We spent a night at this beautiful property in April. We had never been to Whidbey Island - what a gorgeous location! We were especially grateful for the heated floors, as it was chilly when we were there. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of sleeping space for our family of five. The kitchen is also nicely appointed. Be aware that the clothing washer is very loud, so any laundry would have to be done outside of sleeping/napping. Easily done if planned in advance.
I took our dog swimming at Double Bluff, which is spectacular. We also highly recommend Greenbank Farm for an outing with kids. There's an educational nature trail, pond, and native plants. They have a shop selling lots of lovely goodies, and they also have the BEST pies for sale around the corner.
Overall, we had a great time in this lovely place!

Great short getaway!
This was an amazing space to spend some time just after phase 3 allowed by the governor. The house had such an amazing view and was extremely comfortable for our family during our short visit. It was a wonderful opportunity to just shut down and relax.
