About this cottage rental

Watch the sun set over Puget Sound from this waterfront first-floor suite in Bainbridge's Crystal Springs neighborhood. Your own 75-foot stretch of private beach is just across a quiet lane, with two kayaks and a beach fire pit.

• Sunset water views from the living room
• Private 75-ft beach across a quiet lane
• 2 kayaks with life jackets
• Gas fireplace and beach fire pit
• One dog under 50 lbs welcome ($115 pet fee)
• Queen room + twin room, sleeps 4
• 1 mile to Lynwood Center

Large windows fill the open living area with light and frame the water, and the sunsets are the main event. The suite is the first floor of a waterfront home with its own private entrance. The owners use the upstairs only when no guests are booked, so the property is yours during your stay.

GUEST ACCESS & HOUSE NOTES

The first-floor suite, covered front porch, lawn, patio and private beach are yours to enjoy. The upper deck and the upstairs are off-limits, and the upper deck is monitored by an exterior camera.

The beach fire pit is welcome when there's no burn ban. Summer burn bans are common, so please check with the Bainbridge Island Fire Department before lighting a fire. The propane BBQ is fine to use during a burn ban.

Please bring chairs, kayaks and anything else back up from the beach each day, since the tide can carry things away, and leave no trash on the beach. Please clean the BBQ after use with the tools provided.

To use the kayaks, sign the liability waiver in the white folder on the side table and send a photo or PDF to Michelle for the lock code. Wear life jackets, take care crossing the street, and return and lock the kayaks and jackets beside the house when you're done.

Pets: one dog under 50 lbs is welcome, and a $115 pet fee applies. Please add your dog to your reservation.

The claw-foot tub/shower sits on a raised platform. There is a grab bar, but it can be tricky for anyone with mobility issues, so please review the bathroom photos.

The twin bedroom is reached through the queen bedroom. A door closes between them for privacy. See the floor plan in the photos.

I loved waking up in the big bed & looking out at the water, hearing the waves lapping. Going to bed at night was also delightful, seeing the lights on the opposite shore. High quality bed linens, comfy mattress & pillows. I had some issues with the WiFi & they bright WiFi boosters over that solved it, very responsive. I may have been their first guest of the season & arrived to a broken table on front porch, cleaning there needed. Again, great response & someone was sent over to take care of it plus mow the lawn. I've told all my friends how delightful my stay was!

We had a great stay at this house and truly couldn’t beat the view! The house was stocked with everything we needed and communication with Michelle, our host, was super quick and easy :) Loved the nice little touch of having clean bath robes to use, hanging in each bedroom:) we would definitely recommend staying here when you’re on Bainbridge Island!
