About this property

The Whale's Nest. A cute cottage in the heart of Downtown Edmonds.

This cute cottage is located in the heart of downtown and accommodates up to six people. Off the main foyer, there are 3 separate bedrooms each with a locked entrance and it's own ensuite bathroom. There is a lower level around the back of the house with a separate entrance to a lounge with a kitchenette. It is not a full kitchen - there is NO OVEN/STOVE. There is a sink, dishwasher, refrigerator, toaster oven, microwave, hot plate, outdoor gas grill, coffee maker, blender, electric tea kettle, as well as dishes, cups, glasses and silverware.
We are located in the center of downtown so you can park your car and walk to all the attractions, shops and restaurants. This is an ideal stop over before or after exploring the Olympic Peninsula. We are only four blocks to the Edmonds/Kingston Ferry run.
Each bedroom has a SMART TV that can access streaming services (NETFLIX, HULU, AMAZON, etc.) There is NO network, cable or satellite TV.

Disconnected Interior
The advertising for this unit could be more clear to align what the users expect to find verses what is there. The main disconnect for us is that the front door leads into only a small narrow hallway with 3 lockable bedroom doors. The main common area is located in the basement which is accessed only by going back outside the building, around to the other side of the building and down an exterior stair. Most places have the bedrooms off the main common area and there was not enough description to lead us to think that we would get anything different. Trying to hang out with the family required us to go outside the building many times to go between the bedrooms and the common area.

Sister's Birthday Celebrations
We wanted to spend some sister time together close to the water and Whale's Nest was perfect. There were five of us sisters and each had a birthday in each month from August through December. We did lots of talking, laughing, crying, eating and shopping. An amazing time was had by all. The rooms we excellent. The main gathering room was nice and clean but looked like plans for that area were still in progress. All in all, we really very much enjoyed our stay. I would recommend it to everyone.

Work Retreat
My team was attending a function Saturday. This location was amazing . All of the downtown activities were a short walk away. The rooms were nicely appointed and comfortable. Would stay here again.

great location in the bowl!
In the best location for experiencing Edmonds and to be able to walk everywhere without having to rent a car. The community shops, cafes, and restaurants are charming and welcoming. The property has a quirky floorplan, but adequate space, amenities, and privacy for each bedroom. The kitchenette could use a few more utensils, larger glassware, larger coffee mugs, and brighter lighting. Because there are no grocery stores within walking distance, a few more stocked supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, and coffee pods would be appreciated. We would definitely stay at the whales nest again and hope to visit next year.
