About this house rental

Situated in Bainbridge Island, this charming house for $139 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Historic Shore Cottage Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' Welcome to Historic Shore Cottage set in a fantastic location near the beach where you'll be welcomed by big skies and the moving waters of the Puget Sound. Located on a narrow sandspit, your days will be enhanced by passing sailboats, gulls and cranes dining on the beach just 20 feet from your living room, or sea lions and orcas swimming by in the cool waters. This historic cottage was one of three originally built back in 1941 as a shack to store fishing nets. Almost all of the materials used in its construction likely came from the supply of discarded packing crates at the naval shipyard in nearby Bremerton where work was being done to support the war effort. Everything here is original, there are no frills. This is a perfect place to relax, read, write, draw, or take relaxing walks through the neighborhood or along the beach out front where you can collect shells, toss footballs, build sand castles, or just marvel at the many sights. This truly distinctive home is comfortable and rather unique, not only in its origins, but also its furnishings which are mainly antiques from the 1940s and 1950s from designers such as George Nelson, Charles and Rae Eames, and Alvo Aalto. When you want to get out and explore, a corner coffee shop is just minutes away, while the charming main street is just a bit farther with a grocery store, restaurants, clothing stores, and a bookshop. It's also just a 30-minute ferry ride to Seattle, or you can take the ferry to the exciting shopping, dining, and museums that await you north in Victoria, BC.

This is the most nostalgic place for my family. It’s peaceful, time away from screens, box stores, and just allows you to rest and connect. Every time we’re here we look for property to purchase. We love it!

The house is just ok. Somewhat quaint and somewhat old. Very uncomfortable chairs throughout the dining and living rooms. The location is incredible with an amazing view. Thankfully I brought my own lounge chair for the back patio because theirs didn't seem great. The place was not cleaned as well as I expected either.

I sent a review 1 week ago! As we said last week, this property is ideal for us. The Sound, the spit, the whole island feels like our second home to us. Already planning for next summer. Ted and Julie

This place was cheaply built in the 1940s and furnished in the 1970s and that is what you are getting. Simple as that. Great location is the only plus. Want more details, see my Vacasa post if they ever share it.

My family of 6 adults had a wonderful time relaxing and watching the ocean in this tiny rustic cabin. Nothing fancy, but the perfect place to enjoy each other's company and the amazing view.

So the location is awesome and could be a good reason to come here. The problem is that it’s not rustic, it’s run down. Furniture is old, dirty, and pieces broken with written notes of how to use until it’s fixed. Lighting is basically lamps here and there; the kitchen is a single bulb. Safety issue in bathroom as there is a baseboard heater mounted at toilet seat height and maybe 3” away. It can’t be to RCW code. Seriously, you need to be careful. It was a bad experience and we ended up leaving a day early as we had just had enough. I hike and camp outside; I’m not just trying to bash this place. But from the torn lamp shades to the dirty broken furniture it was just too “rustic”.

The location was great and sitting in the patio watching the sea lions in the morning is magical and the views at night are soothing. Super quiet here too
