Cottage By The Bay by AvantStay | 0.5mi to Beach!

Introducing Cottage By The Bay, your Whidbey Island retreat nestled just a stone’s throw from the coast! Both cute and coastal, this charming cottage has everything you need for the perfect getaway.

As you step inside, a first seating area greets you with a cozy fireplace and sofa. The main living area exudes coastal comfort and is the perfect place for movie or game nights. Above lies a loft with a desk space. Separate from the rest of the home, it’s ideal for working from home or just for those needing a bit of solitude.

Two comfortable bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a full bed, ensure a restful night of sleep for everyone. The queen bedroom offers a TV for additional entertainment.

The spacious backyard invites you to enjoy outdoor living. The dining table on the back patio is covered, so you can dine alfresco without worry, while string lights add ambiance to the space. Fire up the grill for an evening BBQ, or take advantage of the fully equipped kitchen inside. The fenced-in yard and large lawn make it ideal for families and furry friends.

Cottage By The Bay boasts a prime location, with beach access at Frank D. Robinson Beach just a short 10-minute walk away! Stunning stretches of coast and nearby state parks mean there’s no shortage of things to explore. The enchanting getaway of your dreams awaits at Cottage By The Bay!

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs.

Discover the allure of Whidbey Island, where tranquility meets captivating landscapes. Embraced by the Puget Sound, this paradise invites group travelers to unwind on sandy shores and explore nature's wonders. Quaint villages add to the island's charm, each with a unique character. And when it’s time for adventure, outdoor enthusiasts can embark on adventures from Deception Pass to Ebey's Landing.

Great location, definitely, “pet friendly”
If you’re traveling with pets, I’d recommend this cute place. If not, I wouldn’t. There are definitely pet “smells”. Good location, cute place, but not as clean as I’d prefer it to be.

The loft was such a great little area to hangout from! The perfect amount of space for a group of four people staying for the weekend. We didn’t get to enjoy the backyard due to the weather, but it was so cute! Wished the floors/doors were a bit cleaner though unfortunately. It was dusty/spiders webs on the doors and floors in some areas.. Nothing too serious though! We enjoyed our experience in such a little homey and welcoming place.

Beach stay
House was well maintained and tidy. Felt like a true cosy vacation house with ample board games. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was stocked everything one would need to cook a simple meal. Appreciated the welcome pizza and coffee voucher too.
