About this property
Front Row Waterfront Views— Steps to Beach, Town & Ferry
Start your morning watching ferries cross the Sound and end your day with Mount Rainier glowing in the distance. This waterfront home offers upscale design, everyday comfort, and a true front-row seat to Puget Sound. From the porch and through multiple windows inside, unobstructed water views stretch across open water filled with ferries, marine traffic, and passing wildlife, creating an ever-changing backdrop throughout the day.
Get downtown Seattle in about 35 minutes- Walk to the Kingston Fast Ferry for the easiest access to Seattle’s waterfront, Pier 50. From the terminal, it’s a 15-minute walk to Lumen Field & the 2026 FIFA World Cup events and other city attractions.
Inside, every detail is thoughtfully arranged and beautifully finished. The home features panoramic water views, premium furnishings and a fully equipped chef’s kitchen. With three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, it’s set up nicely for families or groups, but perfectly intimate for two. One block from downtown Kingston, you’re steps from delicious award-winning local restaurants, shops, the marina, a seasonal farmer’s market, and live music at the port. You may not want to leave—but everything is right here, downtown, when you do.

About the host
Hosted by Doug Courtenay
Doug and Julianne are the new current owners and would love to share their beautiful cottage for your next getaway. They have been visiting their friends in Kingston for years and always dreamed of retiring here one day. One of the most beautiful, peaceful areas they frequent. Dreams came true and now they are able to share their current vacation home with all who visit.
The property is currently managed by friends Kristin and Michael who had lived in the area for over 25 years and will be glad to answer any questions or address any needs during your stay.

Why they chose this property
Spectacular view, walking distance to both Edmonds and Seattle ferry, and in town next to Marina and restaurants. Love being in a small town away from it all but such close access to everything.
What makes this property unique
Rent entire private cottage to yourself with on property parking including garage. Sleeps 6, spectacular unobstructed views of Puget Sound, ferry, boats, cruise ships, Seattle, Cascades, and Mount Rainier.
