About this property

Bainbridge Cottage near the Beach

Welcome to Bainbridge Island! We are happy to share our cozy little island cottage with visitors looking for a change of scenery or a longer vacation. Just a beautiful 35 minute ferry ride from downtown Seattle and a short 3 mile drive or cab ride from the Bainbridge Ferry terminal, leave your mainland worries behind and come stay in this quaint, well-cared-for 1930s farmer's cottage next door to our home. The views of Mount Rainier and Puget Sound from all the rooms in the house are soothing and spectacular. The bed is a double (full) bed (this is smaller than a queen) due to room size restrictions. There is also a full (double) sofa bed.



Enjoy fresh-brewed Pacific Northwest coffee every morning as you watch the eagles soar over the cove, then go for a walk along Manitou Beach, just a 2 minute stroll down the hill. Head to island favorite Bay Hay & Feed for morning coffee, pastries and conversation, just 1/2 mile away, and while you’re there check out their amazing plants, garden supplies, and general store.

Well-behaved dog guests are welcome for a $50 fee per visit. Please note that the yard is NOT fenced, so bring a lead if your dog needs one.

The Northwest is meant to be moist, so if it's raining you can hole up in the cottage with board games or a movie, but if you're adventurous (or you come in the summer, and it's gorgeous) grab a complimentary umbrella and head out to explore all the island has to offer. The Bloedel Reserve or Bainbridge Gardens will delight with their botanical wonders. Sample some of our seven island wineries or spend the day checking out the art galleries and shops along Winslow Way.

In the evening, enjoy dinner in Winslow or nearby Lynwood Center, pick up some amazing Italian take-out from nearby Via Rosa (1/2 mile from the cottage), or make a meal in our cozy but well-stocked kitchen. At night meet up with friends at one of the island pubs, enjoy a movie at one of the two island cinemas, or hit the blackjack table or dance floor at nearby Suquamish Clearwater Casino, just across the Agate Pass Bridge connecting the island to the Kitsap Peninsula.

Speaking of the Peninsula, use Bainbridge as your home base while you explore surrounding Northwest favorites like Poulsbo (aka Little Norway on the Fjord), Port Gamble with its 1850s logging town activities, Port Townsend with its historic Victorian charm and the amazing Olympic National Forest.

What a cute cottage! Thomas welcomed me with a bottle of wine and warmed the place before my arrival as, it was quite cold on the island during my stay. The cottage is just a short drive to all the wonderful shops and food available in Bainbridge! Just a short stroll from the cottage is a beautiful beach with views of Seattle skyline. I will stay here again.

This is a wonderful, cozy, charming place in a fantastic location. The cottage is full of original and historic detailing and transports you to a simpler time. The views are incredible. We intend to stay here every time we visit Bainbridge! Also, I travel often and stay in many vacation rentals, and this is one of the cleanest. Every nook and cranny and even under the bed was clean, a detail I appreciate very much.

Check in process was smooth and easy, host responsive to inquiries and questions within a short amount of time. The cottage is a cute place and also has some improvements that could be made to make it more comfortable (i.e., more windows that are able to be opened, more comfortable outside furniture to use to enjoy the beautiful view).Kitchen and bathroom are very small but were very clean and adequately stocked with basic supplies.

About the host

Hosted by Thomas Chymiy

Host profile image
I grew up outside of Memphis, TN but have lived on Bainbridge Island since 2003 and just love it here. Our kids are getting older so we're planning to down-size eventually, possibly to this lovely property. In the meantime we're happy to share it with visitors so they can come to love this place like we do.

Why they chose this property

Close to the beach, full sun, right in the middle of the island, close to everything - what more could you ask for?

What makes this property unique

- Beautiful view of Mt. Rainier & the water
- Lots of sun
- SO close to the beach. Nice beach combing.
- Dog friendly
- Great spot for walking/running/biking
- Just 1/2 mile walk to Bay Hay & Feed & to Rolling Bay Cafe (excellent cup of coffee).
- Close to the ferry and downtown Winslow Way with all its amenities.
