Historic Shore Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Welcome to Historic Shore Cottage set in a fantastic location near the beach where you'll be welcomed by big skies and the moving waters of the Puget Sound. Located on a narrow sandspit, your days will be enhanced by passing sailboats, gulls and cranes dining on the beach just 20 feet from your living room, or sea lions and orcas swimming by in the cool waters.

This historic cottage was one of three originally built back in 1941 as a shack to store fishing nets. Almost all of the materials used in its construction likely came from the supply of discarded packing crates at the naval shipyard in nearby Bremerton where work was being done to support the war effort. Everything here is original, there are no frills. This is a perfect place to relax, read, write, draw, or take relaxing walks through the neighborhood or along the beach out front where you can collect shells, toss footballs, build sand castles, or just marvel at the many sights.

This truly distinctive home is comfortable and rather unique, not only in its origins, but also its furnishings which are mainly antiques from the 1940s and 1950s from designers such as George Nelson, Charles and Rae Eames, and Alvo Aalto.

When you want to get out and explore, a corner coffee shop is just minutes away, while the charming main street is just a bit farther with a grocery store, restaurants, clothing stores, and a bookshop. It's also just a 30-minute ferry ride to Seattle, or you can take the ferry to the exciting shopping, dining, and museums that await you north in Victoria, BC.

Tired but lovely view
The beds were very comfy and water pressure was good in shower. The view was wonderful. But the condition of the house - especially the kitchen - was very disappointing.

This place is a gift. Beautiful views and location. Lots of beach area for kids to play and explore. Just wonderful. The cottage is clean, neatly appointed, and cozy. Really enjoyed the unique furniture. Stayed warm inside on some cold days.

Amazing
This was my second time here. I came back for my birthday after having twin babies at 28 weeks and they spent 2 months in the NICU. They’re stable, home and safe. I needed a place to recover from all the stress. I had been here previously for my birthday. It was perfect and exactly what I needed.
