This prestigious home exemplifies why people come to escape and take in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. The only thing more stunning than the cinematic landscapes around this home is its newly remodeled, luxurious interior.

ABOUT CORNET BAY COTTAGE

You are invited to Cornet Bay Cottage and the opportunity to experience the beauty of Cornet Bay, Deception Pass and the scenic northwest. Located less than a mile from the entrance to Deception Pass State Park (the most visited park in Washington), you can view and photograph the glorious sunsets from the Deception Pass Bridge.

There are hiking trails, walking and biking, saltwater shorelines, a swimming beach and fishing spots. You can beach comb, go crabbing, clam digging, kayaking and whale watching. There is even a tour of Deception Pass on a jet boat.

At the house, you can relax on the spacious deck with a spectacular view of Cornet Bay County Park, right across the street.

Within the house, you will find there's much fun to be had for both the adults and young ones.You won't have any trouble getting comfy in the living room. Lounge on soft chairs or the couch while you read a good book, watch TV, or take a quick nap. Check out the game room where you can play ping pong, darts and lots of fun board games.

The living room features a 65" smart television with sound bar and BluRay DVD. In one bedroom, you'll find a 45" smart television. You can use either to watch all your favorite shows, movies and play any video games you bring along.

The kitchen is absolutely stunning! It has molded finished wood and tons of appliances for all your cooking needs, such as an oven, microwave, and a dual-function Keurig coffee maker. With electric burners on its counter bar, you can chat with the chef in your group while watching what's being cooked up for family and friends.

The dining room table can seat up to six and comes with a centerpiece which you can find in the laundry room. The electric wall-mounted fireplace offers a gentle glow, perfect for enjoying a relaxing evening meal.

ABOUT WHIDBEY ISLAND

The atmosphere on Whidbey is what might be called iconic or laid-back. Accommodations range from the prestigious to the rustic. Located in the "rain-shadow" of the Olympic Mountains just to the West, Whidbey receives just half the annual rainfall as Seattle.

The surrounding towns of Oak Harbor, Coupeville, Anacortes and LaConner afford you many opportunities for attractions and dining. Throughout the year, enjoy a variety of festivals - art, music, tulip and a pig roast. This year, 2022, there will be a celebration to commemorate the 100-year anniversay of the building of Deception Pass Bridge

The North end of the island is home to the US Naval Air Station at Oak Harbor, the largest town on the island. Occasionally, you may hear the distant noise of jets flying overhead.

There are plenty of shops and services. Driving through the center of the island reveals bucolic pastureland, forests and the very present rocky shores on both sides of the road. Near the south end of the island, the pace slows, windy roads lead to galleries, shops and antique stores.

Everywhere on Whidbey are scenes out of a watercolor painting. Vibrant colors, high vantage points, beaches, friendly people and a slower, more relaxed pace. Local businesses promote "do nothing here" are much as they do all the activities.

Horrible Host
Host and housekeeper were both very rude to us upon check in. We were early and after we moved in the housekeeper returned and told us to pack our belonging and get out until 5 pm. She called the host and she was even more rude! Telling me to vacate the property immediately and do not return until 5 pm or later!! The property had already been cleaned. The housekeeper just came back for her supplies. All they needed to say was can I retreive my supplies? There was absolutely no reason to treat us so rudely!!!!

Tucked away in Cornet Bay
This property has a lot to offer in terms of the solitude of Cornet Bay, comfortable bedding and furnishings, a generously equipped kitchen and a great kid-friendly play space in the garage. I appreciated the unique touches in the kitchen to include the local spices. My only minor criticism is the multiple spider encounters (kids were kind of freaked out) and I dont think the tv receives ESPN (granted we only turned it on once.) Really an ideal PNW getaway!

Bay side relaxation
Wonderful stay! Great location by Deception Pass Park and an easy drive into Anacortes or Oak Harbor. Very clean and well kept cabin. The kids loved the ping pong table in the garage and the bunk beds which had rails. We saw seals in the bay from the front yard. Comfy beds and a nice layout. Very impressed with the small details. Lots of nightlights, pockets on the beds for the kiddos, hangers in the closets. Great stay!

We had a wonderful time. The view of Cornet Bay was very soothing. Loved the big nice deck! The washer and dryer was a lifesaver with a “little one”. The mattresses provided great sleep! Slept with windows and doors open. It is a nice place to stay. You won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful area
We had an amazing time the house is beautiful and well equipped, the area was perfect. We did have some electrical outlets (more than half) that were not working it took a couple of tries to contact someone but eventually the owner come over to look into the problem. Unfortunately he could not get anyone to come out to the island during our stay. He provided extension cords so we could use our electrical equipment in the bathrooms.

We LOVED this home for our family of five
My family of five (mom, dad, 3 young adults) loved this home. It was clean, nicely decorated and furnished, and in a fabulous, peaceful location on Cornet Bay. The location was several miles from the towns on Whidbey Island, but surrounded by the various parts of the Deception Pass State Park, which has many opportunities for hiking and other activities. We enjoyed hiking along the paths that bordered the water (and up to the bridge) and kayaking at Bombay Bay. (We opted for the rental instead of the tour; an hour was plenty and even though Deception Pass has dangerous currents, there is plenty of bay and other safer waters to enjoy the scenery from on your own). We really enjoyed grilling and hanging out on the deck to watch the deer that came to graze in the yard behind the house and the seal that came through the bay every evening. The bay is prettier than what is captured in the vrbo photo; there is a small marina a few hundred yards down the road. Also, if you walk out onto the nearby dock you can see Mt. Baker. We also enjoyed the ping pong table in the garage. The jets that flew over the property frequently were high enough that the noise wouldn't bother most people, and we loved seeing them. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well-stocked. Just a peaceful, thoroughly enjoyable getaway. Would love to come back some time.
