About this property

Charming 2-bedroom waterfront cottage overlooking Penn Cove

Nestled amongst the evergreens, this cozy seaside cottage sits perched on a sunny bluff overlooking the beautiful waters of Penn Cove. Enjoy panoramic views of the cove, the Cascade and Olympic mountains, and the picturesque town of Coupeville with its historic wharf and waterfront. Relax on the huge deck as you watch eagles soar overhead or turn your eyes to the sea and be soothed by the sight of a passing sailboat. Watch for seals and otters playing or maybe even spot an orca or gray whale that occasionally make their way into the cove.



This cedar shingled cottage is well equipped. Its tasteful nautical theme fits the seaside surroundings wonderfully. An open, light filled floorplan is warmed by wide plank pine flooring throughout most of the house. The clean, bright kitchen with abundant counter space is equipped with many appliances and utensils and is ready for your culinary creativity. Relax in the open living room as you gaze out the large glass windows at the water, or light the candelabra in the decorative beach rock fireplace and enjoy a book. Enjoy views of the cove from the comfort of the spacious king size bed in the Master suite. The master also features deck access and a custom tile shower in the bathroom. Additional guests can be accommodated in the second bedroom which features both Queen and Twin size bed. Beach access is a walkable distance down the road.

Our family of five truly enjoyed our stay at this coastal‑themed home. It was thoughtfully outfitted with everything we needed, and we especially appreciated the extra touches like the local coffee beans. The view is incredible, and we loved ending each evening with s’mores by the fire pit. Communication with the host was seamless and made our stay even better.

This place was perfect for our stay. The entire place was spotless upon arrival, check in was super easy, the backyard and the view are stunning. Spent our nights outside by the fire looking at the stars. During the day we saw multiple bald eagles and even a whale sighting!This was one of the most relaxing trips we’ve taken in quite awhile. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage on Whidbey Island. The two-bedroom, two-bath home was comfortable, very well equipped, and perfect for a relaxing getaway.The water view across the entire back of the house is beautiful, and the backyard fire pit overlooking the water made for a memorable evening.Everything was clean, thoughtfully stocked, and easy to enjoy from the moment we arrived. We would gladly stay here again.

We are vrbo hosts ourselves on Maui ,As such we always look at a new property with a discerning eye.This property was simply outstanding! There was nothing left to the imagination. From the kitchen supplies, including cookware, spices and cleaning supplies everything you would need.The property met every expectation and more. The description and explanations of the property and its surroundings, are exactly correct. The views are out of this world. Eagles. Mountains, boats, and all else in this amazing world are right before your eyes. Shannon and his wife, our host, have simply hit this out of the park .We recommend this property without a single reservation. Cindy and John

This property is absolutely amazing. It is very clean, well stocked and in a very safe location. And the view, wow! The view is breathtaking. I can’t say enough about this Cottage. All the rooms are perfectly sized. Large closets, large shower and comfy bed. The kitchen was great. I appreciated the complimentary starter coffee & chocolates. My favorite thing about the Cottage is the backyard. We thoroughly enjoyed the view and had a great time with family as we sat around the fire pit. To just sit and enjoy the ocean and watch the birds was heavenly. This was our first time to Whidbey and we are so grateful we found this beautiful Cottage. We will be back and we will definitely stay at The Cottage at Penn Cove again.

We stayed here for 5 nights with another couple. The home was perfect for the 4 of us. Everything was clean and well decorated for the area. We explored by day and sat around the fire in the evening. In the morning we enjoyed watching the wildlife. We saw many bunnies, a couple squirrels and a bald eagle every day. We took a walk down the street to the little pier. We saw starfish and some interesting birds. The area was so beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Perfect get away.Check in was very easy.We were lucky and got to see 2 white fawns while we out and about.I hope we get to return someday.
