Charming 1920's English Cottage w/Water Views •A Del Mar Vacation Property

Not available for weddings, large events or one-night bookings.
This house does have air conditioning to cool off on those hot days.

Because of the tight knit neighborhood, a maximum of six (6) people are allowed at this property at any given time, this includes overnight and daytime guests/visitors.

The Cottage:
Del Mar Cottage is the charming 1920's Air Conditioned cottage by the sea you've been dreaming about. The character of this cottage, from traditional architectural details like crystal door knobs and elegant crown molding with beautiful easy open windows to let the cool sea breeze in, make this get a way a 'must stay'.

The Garden:
Relax on the garden's porch swing while reading and sipping your favorite lemonaid. Later enjoy some stargazing from your luxurious outdoor spa while planning the next day's ferry ride, antiquing or golf game.

The Neighborhood:
Just 15 minutes north of Gig harbor is Del Mar Cottage's tiny neighborhood of South Colby, nestled between Port Orchard, just 5 minutes to the West, or the Southworth ferry dock to Seattle, just 4 minutes the East. This charming cottage seems to have guarded the bay for many, many decades. Make Del Mar Cottage part of your next get away. You'll want to come back every year!

Walks & Dog Lovers: There are several wonderful walks to take your dog on for an adventure. By the way, the house allows a maximum of two dogs, and each dog is a separate pet fee. Del Mar Cottage is one house back from the beach, but there is a quiet, single lane frontage road that is directly on the beach, great for walks and viewing all that the beach has to offer. The frontage road (SE Cornell) is just west of the Del Mar Cottage gate.

Then, just 1/8 of a mile east from the cottage is Harper Pier, overlooking Puget Sound. Continue your walk another 1/8 of a mile to the park just past SE Scatterwood Lane; great for letting the dog run in the fenced little league base ball area.

Across from the park is a natural boat and kayak launch, great for letting the dog play in the water!

Great stay for Thanksgiving
When we arrived, we opened the door and there was wonderful jazz music playing, heat was on and there was a bottle of wine with glasses all ready to go! It was so inviting. The house was charming and very well equipped (even all of the necessary kitchen tools to fix a Thanksgiving meal)! Everything was there for us and we had a very relaxing time. The jacuzzi was fantastic! What an added plus!

Visit with grands
A charming well-appointed cottage. The hot tub was a added bonus. Our only complaint is the shortage of wash clothes -- only found two for a 4-day stay.

This is a lovely quiet space. Daily walks to the pier and shoreline included sightings of deer and eagles as well as seabirds and various types of boats. The host was gracious and responsive.

Delightful and cozy, Owner great to work with.
This is a delightful cottage with beautiful water views. Owner was kind and helpful through planning and check in as well as through the stay by checking in on us even after arrival to offer help/guidance as needed. Gave four stars for cleanliness due to the nature of this well- loved century old home surrounded by lots of vegetation. Leaf litter is a reality, and was seen around the grounds and on the deck upon arrival. This is not intended to be a flaw, but rather, a review to clarify future guests’ expectations. This cottage is a vintage home that has been lovingly cared for and is well appointed with many items to make the stay comfortable. Many extras were also available that were a delight to have available. If your desire is to stay in a modern, sterile residence with sharp clean lines and pristine lawns, this is not the place to stay. However if the description above fits your vision of a place in which to get away, you will find that this is a great place to stay! Will return!
