“Great cottage!” April was fantastic and the place was perfect. Will definitely try to stay again next time I'm in Seattle.

“romantic” We stayed for two nights to celebrate our 41st anniversary. The cottage was right on the water,very clean, and decorated beautifully - glorious fireplace - which Nanae had already set up for us (thank you!). Though we did not cook - had we wanted to, everything was available in the kitchen. The whole setting was breathtaking - and though we were not fortunate enough to see any whales - we did see an otter and two magnificent eagles fly by. The whole island is a romantic destination. If I could have wished for just one thing, it would have been to have a hot tub so we could have "bubbled" under the incredible blanket of stars.

“Wonderful!” It was such a nice relaxing holiday! The cabin was very clean and very well kept. We had a great time swimming in the lake everyday and eating all of our meal on the deck overlooking the lake. It is a very quiet neighborhood and thus not recommended if you are looking to party. If you are looking for a blissful, peaceful vacation, that is the perfect spot. We would like to return again in the near future! Just a quick note: there are no door on the bedroom area. It was no problem for us as we were only the 2 of us but if you have guests, be aware that there are no privacy. Again, no biggie for us but the website did say it had a bedroom so I was surprised when I arrived. Wonderful place, beautiful cabin and great times are guaranteed!

“Gem of the Northwest” When we decided to vacation in Seattle we looked on many web sites for a place to stay. The one that stood out to us over all the others was Olympic View Bed and Breakfast Cottage. So we booked our reservation with them. As with any place you book without actually seeing it, I became apprehensive the closer we got (we have ended up in some dives due to not so truthful pictures). However, when we arrived at Olympic View all my apprehension melted away. It exceeded our expectations by far. The minute we walked in the door we loved it….all of it. From the way it is set up, the decorations, the colors, where the cottage is situated, the gorgeous view, the deck, everything. They even provide a laundry area to catch up on your washing. The refrigerator and pantry are stocked with everything one could want and more. The supplies were very generous. Each morning we looked forward to see what new pastries would be waiting for us (as kids in a candy shop). The cottage was so comfortable and cozy and modern. We loved how you could swivel the TV and watch it from the living area or in the bedroom. We loved Dave and Eileen and even had them over for dinner one night. We also met Sarah, their daughter who was very welcoming and friendly. This little gem is so peaceful, quiet, and private and has such beautiful views of Puget Sound and sunsets. Watching the sun go down over the water in the Jacuzzi was amazing. It’s just a hop, skip and a jump into Seattle, the beach and local shopping, restaurants, etc. Olympic View is like no other B&B and the best and most enjoyable we have ever experienced. I highly recommend staying here if you are in the Seattle area and want a truly comfortable, peaceful and very enjoyable experience. We will certainly stay here again when we are in the Seattle area.

“A real gem” My husband and I have stayed at Seaview cottage numerous times and cannot wait to return again here in a few weeks. This is by far our favorite place to come and relax and enjoy the amazing beauty that is layed out before our eyes as you walk through the doors. The cottage is always so immaculate and clean and fully stocked with everything we need. Just to bring our clothes and call it good is so wonderful. The outside surroundings are breath taking to say the least. The view from the side yard or the front deck. Take your pick, you will not be disappointed. The ships passing by, the eagles in air, the deer wandering through the yard, the birds chirping, a glass of wine by the fire pit and your feel like you are in heaven. Can you tell we love this place. Thank you for an amazing time away.

“Great Place to Stay” My Uncle passed away recently and my Aunt and I needed a place to stay for a week. I booked this location and it was great. It meet all of our needs. If we had to book a hotel we would had spent a lot more money. We each had our own bedroom and bath. We we able to enjoy the luxury of a home with a beautiful view. With all the planning and arranging we had to do this place met all of our needs. We will need to come back to do some work with the estate and we hope to book this same place again. There is a wonderful hotel with a restaurant a short walk down the road with great food and lemon drops. Our cottage was clean, quiet and very comfortable. Our overall experience was very satisfied. We had only one very small problem with the toilet in one of the baths. (very minor) Very happy with the location. The place was clean. The Property management was very nice and attentive. If anyone is looking for the perfect place on Whidbey Island I would highly recommend this cute little cottage.

“Perfect spot to create wonderful family memories” We were a family group of 6 adults and 3 small children, joined for two of the 6 days by 2 more adults with 2 small children. Due to the thoughtful renovation of the upstairs, the house feels spacious and easily accommodates extra people willing to sleep on floor mats or a couch. I would like to echo many of the words written by the guest 19860802 from Phoenix. I think our experiences were much the same. Carolyn personally greeted us at the house to give us a detailed orientation and was readily available by phone during the week. We found this to be an enchanting home and property. The decor of the home is utterly lovely, warm and welcoming and Carolyn has thoughtfully provided for every imaginable way visitors might like to spend their time. As my son put it, it is not a hotel in the form of a house, but rather an inviting and clearly well-loved home. We loved the gardens spilling with cutting flowers, the comfortable outdoor furniture and hammocks, the space for children to run and explore. Bill, the caretaker, gently guided the children (and adults) to become comfortable and familiar with the alpacas and llamas as individuals, and when asked, provided a wealth of information about these endearing animals. This marvelous opportunity is a unique benefit of this property. We spent hours on the shell-covered beach and enjoyed it despite the abundance of seaweed, likely an effect of the hotter than usual weather. We ate most of our meals outdoors, and we will remember peaceful evenings on the lawn watching the sunsets evolve over the Sound and the distant Olympic Mountains. We expected to enjoy our family week, but it was definitely enhanced by spending it together in this magical place. I hope that we find a way to return here someday!

“Location, Location, Location” We wanted an affordable and comfortable space with a homey feel. Pilots Cottage fit the bill. The location just off the water was so pretty in the morning. Conveniently located so we could easily get to every place we needed to in and around Port Townsend. Lots of quaint character that added to the charm. Our trip was truly enjoyable and we'd readily stay there again.
