Permit: P-000076

Welcome to Historic Shore Cottage set in a fantastic location near the beach where you'll be welcomed by big skies and the moving waters of the Puget Sound. Located on a narrow sandspit, your days will be enhanced by passing sailboats, gulls and cranes dining on the beach just 20 feet from your living room, or sea lions and orcas swimming by in the cool waters.

This historic cottage was one of three originally built back in 1941 as a shack to store fishing nets. Almost all of the materials used in its construction likely came from the supply of discarded packing crates at the naval shipyard in nearby Bremerton where work was being done to support the war effort. Everything here is original, there are no frills. This is a perfect place to relax, read, write, draw, or take relaxing walks through the neighborhood or along the beach out front where you can collect shells, toss footballs, build sand castles, or just marvel at the many sights.

This truly distinctive home is comfortable and rather unique, not only in its origins, but also its furnishings which are mainly antiques from the 1940s and 1950s from designers such as George Nelson, Charles and Rae Eames, and Alvo Aalto.

When you want to get out and explore, a corner coffee shop is just minutes away, while the charming main street is just a bit farther with a grocery store, restaurants, clothing stores, and a bookshop. It's also just a 30-minute ferry ride to Seattle, or you can take the ferry to the exciting shopping, dining, and museums that await you north in Victoria, BC.

    Super cute place. Very quiet. More comfortable seating, especially outside would be good. Rooms have no sound proofing if people have different sleep schedules.

    Our family had a wonderful time at the cottage. Lots of character and the views are hard to beat. It was a great central location for us on our trip in the Puget Sound area. It was the perfect size and room layout for our family of four with two boys, ages 11 and 7. We would definitely stay there again.

    This is an authentic 1940's fishing shack right on the water. It was clean & comfortable & fun to watch all the wildlife & boats. Needs new slider screen, updated tv and some more silverware. Other than that, it was as described.

    My 2 adult children and I came here for spring break. It is the perfect quiet getaway. We gathered sea glass and enjoyed the beach walks. The restaurants and shops in town were fun. We all loved it here and would come back again!

    Property is in a beautiful quiet location. Right on the water with abundant sea life viewing opportunities. We saw seals, porpoise and many different kinds of birds. Adults and kids really enjoyed the stay. A few minor cleaning issues involving some dirty dishes and a blanket with an odor. I was a little concerned about some sagging roof panels in the main bedroom area. We would stay here again.
