Very cozy and comfortable, bonus that they had nightlights and lots of reading lamps. Kitchen well equipped, bed was very comfortable as was the living room furniture . Also liked that there were 2 tables, one to eat at and the other for games or puzzles. It was very warm and inviting with lots of their personal collections that made it welcoming, like you were staying at one of your family members place. There was a perfect outdoor space but we didn't get to use it because of inclement weather, lots of water toys, like kayaks, etc.Would go back if possible.

We chose this place for the location and it was fabulous. I wanted to be close the water for the kids to play and was pleasantly surprised by the nearby park. The home and furnishings are older but comfortable. The host was very responsive when I had questions and the initial booking needed changing. Although overall I would say the place was clean, more attention could be paid to detailed cleaning and some torn/tattered linens should be replaced.

The house is older and lived in as would be expected of a place that allows dogs. The location is awesome, right on the water. The host gave great directions, the only thing I would add is to say that the house is yellow because it is a little bit difficult to find.The air conditioning unit was not working right and the host was very attentive to try to get it working correctly. I can’t say enough nice things about the host, Jess. She was very personable and wonderful to work with.

Hope to stay again!

We had a wonderful long weekend at the beach house. So comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. We stayed cozy with the wood stove (with an ample supply of seasoned firewood...thank you) and an amazing view down the bay. Enjoyed our beach walks and close proximity to the neighborhood park. Great location, close to groceries & restaurants in Freeland, and just a short drive to Double Bluff, Bayview and Langley. Great communication with our host, Jess. Hope we get to return in warmer weather & get some kayaking time on the tranquil water. Thank you for sharing your beach house with us!

Amazing getaway in middle of winter

Jess' place is so great, very homey, can't wait to come back in summer/fall season to experience the inviting fire pit and SUP. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need, spice and appliance wise, as well as accessories. Jess is great at communicating and super prompt to take care of anything that comes up. I highly recommend this place for families, plenty of rooms and beds to spread out in. Also, if you have a toddler/baby, great house. Has a lot of entertainment for kids and some kids books and toys. Overall, highly recommended and we will be back :)

Lovely Little House!

This house is a great location, right on the water and pet friendly! We walked our dog around the neighborhood a few times and she loved it. The location was really great and central, just a few blocks from the grocery store and coffee shops. The owners were great at communicating everything for check-in and provided everything we would need for the stay, including plenty of towels, blankets, and space heaters in every room, which was a nice touch for the winter month. I would definitely stay here again.

The Perfect, Simple Getaway

This charming home is located right on the water, with the sounds of the waves capturing our hearts right away. There was plenty of space for the family and enough extras, like the piano, games and puzzles, to make it easy to cozy up on the comfy couch or sit on the back deck watching the wildlife and waves. We will definitely be coming back!

A wonderful getaway

We had such a relaxing stay on Baby Beach :) It was perfect for me, my husband and our toddler with loads of family friendly activities around the island, but also just the right amount of space in the home. The views were spectacular and the home had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We especially loved the fireplace and the kayaks, as well as the park for our little one that was in walking distance! Will definitely be back!

Peace on the water with birds, deer and blossoms

We loved sitting at the table and looking right out at the beach as water ebbed and flowed. Birds, long legged birds, large winged birds patrolled the area. We did not miss television, busy schedules and the so many things one does on a daily basis. I must ask what the little critters were on the beach that ran and hid as soon as one lifted their shelter rock. They were black with many legs and maybe little claws...not sure. We ran also. The flowers on your property were lush. We were close to the wonderful grocery store where ( I kid you not) every item was as artistically displayed as I have ever seen at a grocery store. All in all, we rested, reflected and let the world of worry wither away from our minds. The four days went so quickly......then we went to Seattle.....The island and cottage were wonderful compared to the noise of sirens that never let up.

A little bit of heaven.

This is the fourth time that I have stayed in this wonderful little old house. It has become like an old friend that I look forward to seeing every year. The beds are comfortable, the house is clean and well stocked, and deer walk through your back yard while you are sitting at the kitchen table! All this and you are only a few minutes' walk from one of the best grocery stores on the island. This year I came in May, visited beautiful Meekerk Gardens to see the rhododendrons in bloom, and spent a lot of time exploring some of the many beaches (like the one directly outside the back door) with my dog. Coming back to this quiet house is the perfect end to any day.

Oceanside bliss

My friend and I had a wonderful visit to Freeland. This house couldn’t have been closer to the beach. Whether sitting on the deck or down on the lawn, the waves and hearing them breaking was mesmerizing. The house had everything we needed. My friend uses a walker and the lawn was long so we asked Jess if it could be mowed and they were out within two hours. We were thrilled with how quickly they responded. Highly recommend this house for a vacation.

This is our third stay at Baby Beach and we plan to come again when time permits. The location is wonderful; right on the beach. You won't find a better view anywhere. If you want luxury this may not be the place for you. But if you want quiet, serenity, and to get back to nature, you can't beat it. My dog loves it too.

So cute and charming

The reviews are correct. This place is quaint and charming. We loved everything about it. We had everything we needed and more. The kids had a blast collecting shells and playing in the water. The beds were comfy and the whole experience was very relaxing. The view was gorgeous. We had a lot of fun on the kayaks. They provided life jackets. My kids loved picking cherries from the tree in front and watching the deer. Be sure to educate yourself on the ferry system. The Clinton ferry’s morning runs were cancelled so that interrupted our plans to drive into Olympic NP. This is, of course , no fault of the cottage owner☺️ It’s just something to be aware of. Overall a great experience!
