Wake up to stunning water and tree-lined views that have quickly become a guest favorite. Unwind in the private hot tub, relax on the dock bench, gather around the fire pit, or explore the cove by kayak (adult use only).

The cottage offers a pet dander-conscious and low-fragrance environment, thoughtfully suited for guests who may be sensitive to pet dander or strong fragrances.
Inside, guests are welcomed into an inviting blend of upscale comfort and relaxed coastal sophistication. Warm textures, calming coastal décor, reclaimed wood accents, and locally inspired blue glass details create a boutique-inspired atmosphere rich with character and charm.
The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living areas are designed for gathering and relaxation. The custom-designed kitchen provides a beautiful setting for shared meals, while the solid wood dining table creates a natural gathering place for slow breakfasts, family dinners, board games, and meaningful conversation.
The living room opens onto an outdoor balcony overlooking Glen Cove and surrounding greenery, creating a peaceful extension of the home where guests can enjoy fresh coastal air, morning coffee, and beautiful sunsets.
The cottage features two beautifully appointed upstairs bedrooms. The serene Queen bedroom includes charming French doors opening onto a private patio with a small table and chairs, creating a quiet spot to enjoy morning coffee and birdsong.
The spacious King bedroom offers views toward the balcony, waterfront, and cottage dock across the road. Large windows fill the room with natural light while showcasing the peaceful coastal surroundings.
The fresh white tiled bathroom continues the relaxed coastal theme with bright finishes and thoughtful details.
Step outside and discover outdoor spaces thoughtfully designed for comfort, connection, and peaceful waterfront living.
