Charming Beach Cottage w/ Ocean Views & Sauna!
Summary: Relax and escape city life in this spacious open floor plan home with amazing sun lit room and Richmond beach ocean views...
This peaceful beach cottage is a great quiet retreat -- fully furnished, complete with a sauna, a private picnic area, and a koi pond!
5-minute walk to Richmond Beach, local distilleries, breweries as well as great restaurants and less than 2 minutes by car. This is your perfect home away from home!
The Space: This cozy cottage is one of the last remaining original beach cottages at Richmond Beach. These cottages were built as weekend homes for the well-heeled of Seattle in the late 1800's. Folks would take the train up the coast from downtown Seattle in the days when there was still a train stop here, to get away from city life to the peaceful and beautiful views of Puget Sound which Richmond Beach is known and cherished for!
The cottage has been lovingly restored retaining its rich history, with the addition of comfortable modern amenities as well as a private deck for guests nested in mature bamboo landscaping with an outdoor dining table and mediation bench, there is additionally an old-fashioned front porch, complete with rocking chair, and overlooking a tranquil Koi Pond.
Moreover, Richmond Beach is an upscale and wonderfully quiet neighborhood, where long walks with water views are always a favorite -- you will surely have a fantastic time during your stay!

This cottage is a perfect getaway for a person or couple. It is aesthetically charming and had everything I needed. Great spot to recharge and work on crafts. Walking distance to a beach park as well as bars and restaurants.

I would definitely stay in this charming cottage again. The neighborhood is residential and quiet. The view of the water adds to the peacefulness experienced in the cottage. It may have been a little difficult to find in the dark, but fortunately we easily found it in the day light.
Had a great time at the cottage for a long weekend painting retreat in Edmonds. Walkable to parks and restaurants if you’re ok with some hills. Wonderful tiny kitchen with everything you need. Would come back!

The beach cottage is indeed charming! And comfortable. And quiet. The perfect home base for two exploring the greater Seattle area.
We booked a 3 week stay. Due to duration we needed a few extra essentials. They were immediately provided. Otherwise well equipped little cottage. Bed was comfortable. Views/sunsets spectacular. Excellent area with an abundance of things to do.
Overall, everything was very nice. One thing that would make it better would be to cut the bamboo on the little sitting area in the back to allow a view of the Sound.
There is a ladder leaning on the back of the cottage wall and a chair on the roof. Remove tbese. this. )
A cozy pet friendly home with big views and some things to consider
The place is full of charm and the cottage is cozy. We love Richmond beach and the views were tops and the neighborhood was quiet. Note - this house is an ADU, so while you have your private house, this is also a bit of a shared space with respect to the yard. The front porch
faces the main house and doesn't feel super private, and the koi pond you can see, but not get to because it's part of the main house. The bamboo zen area is much quieter and much more private. Parking and entering is tricky. You don't get instructions ahead of time which makes it challenging and the entrance IS steep and windy. If you have mobility issues, this will be tricky. The garbage process also requires you to walk around to the front of the main house, which isn't SUPER far, but far enough that if you have mobility issues this could present another challenge. The house is pet friendly so you may find some leftover pet hair from a previous furry friend. :/ If you are like me, this might bother you. We loved the dry heat of the sauna and seeing the stormy sea. We just wish there'd been more amenities; there was no conditioner, 1 towel in the kitchen, and 2 small refrigerators instead of 1 large refrigerator; and the TV is small, but sufficient. The internet connection was strong. This could be a really good stay if you don't mind the items listed above. We are giving it a solid 4 and recommending you bring your own toiletries.

The cottage was very cozy and comfortable. Was perfectly located for us to access the Edmonds ferry terminal which was why we booked it.The only downside was that the property was very hard to locate in the dark. The cottage has its own address (****1/2) but the address provided by the rental company did not include the 1/2 which was confusing when we arrived, the hand painted signs were also very difficult to see until we parked and got out of the car. The description of the location relative to the main house on the street should be updated with more detail.

Everything about this little cottage is wonderful! It’s very cozy and homey, the kitchen is very spacious for such a small unit, and the bedroom has views of the water! There’s a lovely little secluded patio just outside the door that’s private for guests. I feel like the hosts thought of every little thing that might make our stay here comfortable and fun, and I highly recommend it!
This Richmond Beach stay was excellent. The charm, special touches, sauna and location were perfect. I would love to stay here again. The beach is nearby and great to walk and explore!
We found the cottage a comfortable stay when visiting family in the Seattle. The location has a couple of views of Puget Sound and is just a short distance from Richmond Beach Saltwater Park. Our host, Jason, responded promptly to our questions. There is an excellent local casual dining restaurant, Blackbird, nearby and the cottage is not too far from the charming village of Edmonds which also offers excellent restaurants. We're happy to recommend the cottage.
