Beautiful location and easy location from ferry and other Kingston locations. The house itself is beautiful and well appointed. It has everything we needed for us and our 9 year old twins. On night one we even had a guest hang with us. Views, home, hosts all stellar.
The cutest cottage!! It’s exactly what I had hoped for! Perfectly situated near the ferry with a beautiful view of the water. My first impression when entering was that everything was new and well kept. The furniture was well placed and very comfortable. I loved having my coffee in the morning and looking out the windows at the water. There are two bedrooms on the main floorwith their own private bathrooms, and both again were very up-to-date, clean and very well kept. The third bedroom is located downstairs almost basement like. This space is almost like a small apartment, which I found perfect for added privacy. It has its own living room area, TV, separate bathroom and of course the bedroom. We didn’t really get to explore outside too much in the immediate outside area of the house as we were there for a wedding, but I noticed lots of people walking in the morning on the pedestrian path in front of the house which separates the house from the water. The only drawback is the property has only two parking spots. If you have three vehicles, you will need to find a parking spot along the street somewhere. All in all, I highly recommend this property! Just beautiful with an amazing view of the water!

The house was Very Clean, well maintained, decorated super cute, and the host was very helpful. We enjoyed sitting out on the front porch watching all the Sound Activity as well as through the large picture windows. Kingston is a fun spot and an easy walk from the house. We also enjoyed the pedestrian only street in front. I would highly recommend it.

Gorgeous cottage, beautiful location and view.
I, my daughter and granddaughter enjoyed staying here to attend a wedding. It was perfect. The view of the water, ferries, Mt Ranier and Seattle skyline in the distance was an unexpected bonus.The cottage was immaculate. Decorated tastefully and up to date on everything. The gliding chairs were a special treat to sit in to enjoy the view from the porch.We could walk to town and there is a walking path to enjoy the sound. We loved it!

Perfect Location, Beautiful Views
The Owners listing is accurate, the pictures depict the overall condition of the property and amenities with no unwanted "Surprises.
There is ample parking for 2 cars behind the property in the alley way. There is "NO" parking on the street in front of the property.
The best part of the property is sitting on the covered porch watching the boats and Ferry. The weekend we stayed at the property had beautiful weather with a little bit of fog in the mornings. We enjoyed being able to walk to the Ferry and the restaurants nearby. The empanada's at the nearby "Argensol Kitchen" Restaurant were really good, very authentic.
We all enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property for a long weekend or short stay.
Details about the trip, door codes and basic information was sent and received +/- 3 days prior to our arrival. It would have been nice to have this information sooner to coordinate travel plans with the Family. We were traveling from Arizona and didn't have access to the internet or a computer for most of the week prior to our arrival.

This home will not disappoint!
The view...amazing! We sat on the porch for the majority of the time we were there. Whether it was watching the ferries travel back and forth, seeing the eagles flying around, or catching glimpses of the hummingbird and bunnies in the yard, it was so relaxing.
The neighborhood...very walkable with great places to grab coffee, drinks, food. Don't be surprised to see a couple of deer as you walk around. :)
The house...very clean and well appointed. There were ample towels, kitchen supplies; they even thought of the little things, like boxes of tissues (I can't tell you how many rentals we stayed at that didn't have any tissues to be found) and even some board games.
I would definitely stay here again!
The following are not complaints, just suggestions we'd like to pass on to the owners:
Installing a shade on the side of the porch, to help provide some shade as the sun is rising, would be a really nice touch.
Replacing ceiling lights with fans that have light kits in the bedrooms would help circulate the air.

Very Convenient and Relaxing
The cottage is perfect for 2 couples and could accommodate 2 more people in the twin beds. The kitchen had adequate dishes and cooking pans. We spent a lot of time on the front porch watching ferry traffic and cruiser boats travelling on the sound. We walked to the dock and took the fast ferry(40 mins) into Seattle. We ate pizza at Willy's(very good) and and walked to the ice cream shop. We hiked at Foul Weather Bluff and Ludlow Falls. We also walked the Saltair Beach in front of the cottage.

This house was very cute and cozy! You get a beautiful view of the sound and can sit on the porch to watch the ferries come and go! The decoration and amenities provided by the owner were wonderful ◡̈ Everything was easy to access and clean overall. My only thing was the shower curtains for both bathrooms were a little mildew-y, but other than that, wonderful place! ♥️
