Our cottage kitchen is the shining example of how to blend efficiency and functionality. Featuring a full-size electric Avantien with a microwave mounted above and a large stainless steel stovetop and oven, you can effortlessly make any meal. We've hosted guests for Thanksgiving who boasted how they did a full course meal with ease!
You’ll find plenty of kitchen gadgets, including a blender, hand mixer, cookware, and bakeware to create your favorite meals. Enjoy our coffee bar stocked with Pete's coffee, teas, stevia, sugar, and creamer, along with a drip coffeemaker, a French press, and a coffee grinder. We even have spices and oil in the cabinets! Plus, there’s a spacious refrigerator with a freezer and a stackable GE washer and dryer—just note that there’s no dishwasher, so washing is required.

In the living room, relax on the comfy loveseat or swivel chair while enjoying views through the French doors to the deck and water beyond. Curl up with a throw blanket to stream your favorite movies on the Smart TV or play some board games. The sofa also has a pull-out twin bed with linens for an extra guest.

The queen bed is tucked into its own private nook, featuring a sturdy Captain's bed frame for extra storage and a small closet for hanging clothes. We even provide a small iron and board!

The custom-tiled bathroom offers a large shower and vanity with all the amenities you need, plus plenty of towels.

Outside, enjoy our newly added gas firepit table with Adirondack chairs, and fire up the gas BBQ—we provide a full tank and tools, so just bring your secret sauce recipe! 🍔.

With fast, reliable WiFi speeds up to 50 Mbps, this is a fantastic 'work-cation' cottage for digital nomads!

The cottage is very small but has everything you need. The deck is fantastic and we were able to extend our living space outdoors during good weather. We enjoyed the view from the new Adirondack chairs and the propane fire pit was a nice touch in the evenings. The road below the house is a little noisy during the day but quiets down in the evenings. The cottage was very clean and stocked with all the basic necessities including soaps, paper towels and toilet paper. We didn't have to grocery shop for the basics which was really nice. A great location and nice little cottage for one or two people.

This was such a lovely place to stay in Eastsound. It is a five-minute walk from the touristy center of town with all its shops and restos. The cottage is adorable and beautifully appointed. There's a view of the valley and trees from the deck, with a grill and a fireplace kind of appliance outside on the deck. It was easy to take care of trash and recycle, which is always a concern of mine. The owner was immediately on top of anything we needed. I couldn't have been more pleased.

This cottage has a beautiful view of Eastsound through the trees, is very close to the downtown shops area and very clean and well stocked. Would definitely choose it again.
