About this property

Waterfront home, steps to the beach in protected bay! Birding, kayaking, swim.

Bring the family for a staycation or work with high speed WiFi with a beautiful view. Peaceful. Tranquil. Breathtaking views await you at Similk Bay Beach House! An Easy 75 min. drive from Seattle (no ferry needed!) Located right on the water & just a few steps down to enjoy beach exploration or kayaking the bay (bring your own). Swinomish Golf Course is WALKING DISTANCE from the house. Deception Pass for hiking. Anacortes & LaConner mere minutes. Or tiptoe through the Skagit Valley tulips!

You and your guests can enjoy the entire cottage. If anyone has mobility issues, no worries as there are no stairs needed to enter the home and move about the living space; open kitchen to dining room (seats 8) and living room, plus private queen bedroom and semi-private bedroom with king bed. You will need to maneuver stairs to enjoy the beach and upstairs private ensuite, but the view is breathtaking on the covered porch which requires NO STAIR USE. All hardwoods throughout.

Bedroom layout: Main level has a private queen bedroom and off the back of the house is a room that is semi private with a privacy curtain and fits a king bed. You enter this back room to access the stairs to the private master ensuite. The upstairs suite is private with a barn style door. The back bedroom and primary suite is excellent for families with children or another couple. Couch can be used to sleep 1-2 people but does not turn into a bed. We have extra bedding if needed.

Wonderful beach feel cottage. You'll be wishing you had more time to sit back and relax, to take in the sounds of the lapping water or sitting back to watch the heron, eagles, osprey, migratory winter birds, seagulls, seals and other wildlife that call this bay home.

About the host

Hosted by Laurie

Host profile image
The Similk Bay Beach House has been in my husband, Robert's, family since 1989. We were both 19 then and over the next 30 years we would enjoy countless memories with friends and family. We are blessed that we now own the property and can share it with others! This is our forth nightly rental property. We acquired our first nightly rental with the purchase of our Mountain house in Leavenworth, WA in 2005 and started renting that out nightly in 2006 on VRBO/Homeaway and also on Airbnb, along with two Woodinville, WA studios where we pride ourselves in being a Superhost ever since inception! When we aren't in Woodinville working, we are for sure at Similk Bay Beach house for relaxing!

Why they chose this property

We enjoyed many years on the beach with family and friends. Our children grew up playing for hours handling baby crabs, digging for clams, building forts and of course many s'more making bon fires. Our oldest daughter was just proposed to this spring (2021)on the beach! This beach will be calling you back once you visit!

What makes this property unique

Easy to access as everything is one level (except the master bedroom ensuite). Many decks to enjoy different views from. Calm bay to kayak and boat in and safe beach for children to play on.
