Samish Bay Cottage | Bayfront home in Bow with gorgeous view & woodstove

Samish Bay Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

A breathtaking view of Samish Bay, Lummi Island, and the serene coast of Washington awaits at this waterfront home, beautifully situated on the north shore of Samish Island. While there is no safe beach access directly from the property, you'll be just around the corner from a public access point to Samish Beach, allowing you to easily swim, take long walks, and marvel at gorgeous sunrises and sunsets.

Each morning, you'll wake up to the soothing sounds of nesting seabirds and waves gently lapping upon the shore. Just outside, you can sip your first cup of coffee at the water's edge, play with your kids all afternoon in the grassy lawn, and light the gas grill for bayfront barbecues at sunset.

The single-story interior is open and full of light, with sunshine and water views streaming in through the sun porch. Whether you're preparing a favorite meal in the well-equipped kitchen, sitting down for dinner and board games at the dining room table, or streaming movies by the woodstove in the living room, you'll do it all with a beautiful view of the bay. Complimentary WiFi and a washer/dryer are also on hand for your convenience.

Perfect for bird watching

Lovely place, quiet and beautiful with a private beach to watch the activity on the bay. We enjoyed watching the shorebirds feed at low tide every morning.

Peaceful/Serene

This tiny cottage provided us with a relaxing base camp for our anniversary celebration. The view of Samish Bay was unparalleled, and the seating area overlooking it all was perfect. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a homey stay, and the place is impeccably clean. The neighborhood was quiet, the people nearby friendly, and the ambiance serene. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Perfect rental for us

We were very impressed with our Vacasa rental! This is a small, older home but it was immaculate, quiet, comfortable, in a beautiful location; and the property is full of well thought out extras. We had absolutely everything we needed for our week long stay.

Cozy place with great views in quiet community

We loved how well stocked the kitchen was and we loved the views from the backyard. Bed was also comfortable. Neighbors were friendly. Internet worked well.

Dated but adequate

This classic cottage sits above the Puget Sound waterline with a spectacular northern view. Access to the water and public beach can be found just around the block. This property is about 20-30mins away from food/restaurant amenities (see Edison for restaurants, Burlington for groceries). Bring your kayaks, fishing poles, mud boots, and walking shoes for a quiet and serene getaway. Burlington has a Saturday market and La Conner is filled with artisan shops and homemade ice cream desserts.
