Greetings, Stay at Sunset Beach Cottage and taste the pervasive charm, the freshness of beautiful summer nights, hear the lapping salty ebb and flow of the tide, and wonder at the sky dusted with radiant stars.
July and August have longer stays on some dates - please refer to the calendar as we keep it updated. Please contact me if you want to book a shorter booking in July or August.
Thank you for your interest in a reservation at Sunset Beach Cottage on Whidbey Island. I’d like to introduce you to my beach side vacation rentals. I know you will be pleased with a stay here.
This is a wonderful time of year to be on the Island, and the beach with its spectacular views will be beckoning you outside from your doorstep. I love to walk out at low tide, looking for sand dollars and seashells, the solitude broken only by the cry of Blue Heron and our local eagles. Our low tides can go ¼ mile out and yet the sand is very firm for beach combing. There are rubber boots in the closet for guests to use, but you may wish to bring your own foul weather gear for your comfort.
The accommodations are in a beautifully remodeled two-bedroom guest cottage, with a master bedroom with a king-size bed, a couch that makes out into a queen bed, and a small bedroom with a twin bed with a trundle. If you or anyone you know will be visiting this season, please keep in mind this relaxed and comfortable “spare room” we have here.
For your comfort, there is digital smart TV and a full kitchen. Peruse through our small library and take a book home with you if you can’t put it down. Enjoy our house games and puzzles. The cottage sleeps up to 6 people.
Once you are settled in, the nightly sunset views of Admiralty Inlet, the Olympic Mountain Range, and the shipping lanes of Puget Sound from the living room/kitchen or the master bedroom, are nothing less than spectacular. You or your guests can spend time enjoying the natural beauty around you, walking, bird watching, biking, boating, and more. If you are so inclined, you can take advantage of the sophisticated and exciting artistic life of Whidbey Island. Langley, home of the renowned Whidbey Island Center for the Arts, the Clyde Movie Theater, and several regionally known restaurants, shops and galleries is a 10-minute drive away. Hike north or south from your doorstep. Enjoy South Whidbey’s many alluring hikes including giant Glacial erratic (Waterman Rock) in Saratoga Woods, South Whidbey Community Park Trails, The Whidbey Institute trails, South Whidbey State Park, and many more. * Pets have a $100 pet fee plus $40/night per pet if you are staying more than 2 nights or have more than one pet.
Extra guests, above the first two, are $40 per person, per night.
Many of our past guests reserve for a second and third time, so please be sure to book at your earliest convenience, especially for holiday weekends or school vacation times.

We enjoyed the quiet and the great view of water, mountains and clouds. Comfortable bed good kitchen well maintained etc. Could do with a grab bar in the bathtub to make it easier to get in and out.
Fantastic spot, right on the beach! We ran into the water for a cold plunge first thing in the morning. Great for wildlife and just watching the water. Peaceful and restorative.
Everything was perfect! It was clean, well-equipped, comfortable and cozy, and the location can't be beat. There was a water dispenser we couldn't figure out how to use (would have loved that for hot water for tea), but the tap water on Whidbey is fine and there were pots to heat water in! We'll definitely be back.
Sunset Beach Cottage is a must stay. This place is beautiful. The hosts are outstanding and worked with us to allow are dogs to stay…the beach access at your doorstep is truly amazing. We will be back !

We are delighted that you had a wonderful time with us and we are looking forward to seeing you again soon in the near future.
We absolutely loved being on the water with views of the snow capped Olympic Mountains. The bed was very comfortable and we loved sitting by the fire . We walked the beach and walked the road in the morning and said good morning to the chickens and sheep. We wanted eggs but didnt have cash.The kitchen had what we needed and I loved the tea. We definitely want to come back. Thank you for being a wonderful host!!!

Hello PaulaAnther wonderful time in your lovely cottageWe plan to return next Septand also hope to grab a week during August next yearHope you are having a fine time in ItalyxoxoxoEllen
We had an amazing time watching the sunset, dipping in the water, and enjoying a quiet getaway from the city. Highly recommend this cottage, we'll be back!
This is a terrific property for a quick weekend getaway. We spent a single night here and it was beautiful. The home itself is small but cozy, had everything we need to make breakfast lunch and dinner, including a BBQ outside. Unforunately it was rainging for half our stay so we didnt get to utilize the back patio furniture and firepit but those looked lovely as well. The beds were comfortable and had no smells or issues. Listening to the waves crash at night was one of my favorite things of this stay. I would highly recommend it and would love to book again in the future.

About the host
Hosted by Paula
Born and raised in Fairbanks Alaska, I have enjoyed these beautiful outdoors my entire life. My father purchased this property in 1969 and I have been coming here ever since. I have raised three wonderful children on Whidbey and am now enjoying my three grandsons born this year. I like to garden and you will see this on display at Sunset Cottage.
Why they chose this property
Beachfront, beachfront, beachfront! A private cottage and beach an hour from Seattle. This is one of a kind - it is only one cottage on 100' of waterfront with few neighbors giving yourself a relaxing vacation at will, and add outdoor experiences to enhance the healing of pure nature.
What makes this property unique
Sunsets provided nightly looking west over Admiralty Inlet and the Olympic Mts. Birdwatching; kayaking; barbecue and patio seating; clamming; walking; biking (bring yours); beach combing; fires on the beach.
