BayView Cottage - Romantic Getaway w/ Beach Access

The cottage was clean and well stocked. However, it could stand a little upkeep. Scraped paint in the bath and pealing paint on the kitchen cabinets could be touched up. With the severe drought in WA the grounds could be unkept better. Long overgrown grasses, fallen leaves and debris could be fuel for an awful brush fire. The Cottage also had a strong unpleasant odor in the bath room. The location was very convenient to the Bremerton Ferry and we enjoyed exploring the Olympic Peninsula.

I booked this location because I thought there would be a second room for my son to sleep in, but it had no blinds and was very bright and not somewhere that would work. The queen bed was also very uncomfortable, almost a hack of a bed, with a very cheap box spring. My husband ended up sleeping on the couch pullout. For this price, over 400/night, this was not worth the value.

Adorable and well designed and decorated. Beautiful views! There was some negatives for us as a family of 4 it was much too small. The sofa mattress was not a true mattress it was more like a convertible sofa/futon and was smaller than a regular bed and super uncomfortable. We had to go buy an air mattress as only one person fit on it. The sofa itself was very uncomfortable. The patio furniture was uncomfortable. No dishwasher so you’re scrubbing dishes on vacation. We eat at home for everything due to food allergies so this was a concern for us. Especially since we realized this meant a risk for cross contact if the prior guest did not wash items well. The trek down to the beach is really steep. It was not exactly an easy trek down or back up. We didn’t utilize the beach, kayaks or SUP more then once due to this. The highlight of the home was watching the baby deer on the property.

The place is as advertised. We loved every thing about it. The view was amazing!

We stayed here for two days prior to some work in Seattle. The location was beautiful and the cottage was clean and just right for us. Thank you so much.
