About this property
Charming 1920's English Cottage w/Water Views •A Del Mar Vacation Property
Not available for weddings, large events or one-night bookings. This house does have air conditioning to cool off on those hot days.
Because of the tight knit neighborhood, a maximum of six (6) people are allowed at this property at any given time, this includes overnight and daytime guests/visitors.
The Cottage: Del Mar Cottage is the charming 1920's Air Conditioned cottage by the sea you've been dreaming about. The character of this cottage, from traditional architectural details like crystal door knobs and elegant crown molding with beautiful easy open windows to let the cool sea breeze in, make this get a way a 'must stay'.
The Garden: Relax on the garden's porch swing while reading and sipping your favorite lemonaid. Later enjoy some stargazing from your luxurious outdoor spa while planning the next day's ferry ride, antiquing or golf game.
The Neighborhood: Just 15 minutes north of Gig harbor is Del Mar Cottage's tiny neighborhood of South Colby, nestled between Port Orchard, just 5 minutes to the West, or the Southworth ferry dock to Seattle, just 4 minutes the East. This charming cottage seems to have guarded the bay for many, many decades. Make Del Mar Cottage part of your next get away. You'll want to come back every year!
Walks & Dog Lovers: There are several wonderful walks to take your dog on for an adventure. By the way, the house allows a maximum of two dogs, and each dog is a separate pet fee. Del Mar Cottage is one house back from the beach, but there is a quiet, single lane frontage road that is directly on the beach, great for walks and viewing all that the beach has to offer. The frontage road (SE Cornell) is just west of the Del Mar Cottage gate.
Then, just 1/8 of a mile east from the cottage is Harper Pier, overlooking Puget Sound. Continue your walk another 1/8 of a mile to the park just past SE Scatterwood Lane; great for letting the dog run in the fenced little league base ball area.
Across from the park is a natural boat and kayak launch, great for letting the dog play in the water!

The host was very accommodating to my needs. The home is lovely and comfy. The yard is filled with many beautiful things. Would love to have stayed in better weather to have seen it all in bloom.
We loved our stay at the Del Mar Cottage! The house is so cute and cozy, and super close to both the ferry and activities. Kitchen was fully stocked which made making pizza for family board game night super convenient.
Cute little cottage surrounded by green gardens. Fair view of the ocean/bay. We drove to an inlet near the cottage and walked down to the little one way road that followed along the beach. Lots of seaweed and dead/live crabs. Great location. Fun quiet place. My son loved the piano that could play itself!
This was a great place to stay. Very comfortable & relaxing atmosphere. Very cute cottage & nicely decorated.
We had a wonderful stay & will be back!
Thanks
This was our third visit to this unique and lovely house. Property is very peaceful and quiet with a wonderful back yard and porch. We would love to return.
We had everything we needed for a long holiday weekend. The host was friendly and responded quickly. We enjoyed being able to quickly walk down to the water, and seeing deer in the yard next to the house. The hot tub was gorgeous on our chilly, cloudy nights!
Nice, quiet, relaxing getaway with friends. Kitchen had everything we needed to complete meals. The rooms were nice and dark for good sleep.

About the host
Hosted by Erik Giddings (Del Mar Cottage)
We were lucky enough to find Del Mar Cottage years ago. The home has been beautifully maintained since the 1920’s and we thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to share its beauty with travelers worldwide.
Why they chose this property
We have enjoyed this location because of the water views and the short 40-minute trip into Seattle via the nearby Southworth Ferry.
What makes this property unique
Listening to the waves against the shore in the evening, and waking up to the sounds of the morning brings a peaceful start to your day at Del Mar Cottage. Save some time for beach combing or strolling to nearby Harper’s Pier.
