Orcas Island, Crescent Beach Cottage #252

*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. No children under the age of 10 allowed. ***

Just a short walk from the picturesque village of Eastsound and built by a top custom home builder, the Crescent Beach Cottage is magical. Reclaimed wood beams from Wisconsin, French doors from Singapore, teak floors, and a mix of contemporary and European antique furnishings are complemented by original art - creating a warm and welcoming environment.

Views from every window let in light and outdoor magic. Enjoy the quaint fenced garden, relax on the patio overlooking the pond and bird sanctuary behind the cottage, or watch the waves on the beach from the living room and dining room. Crescent Beach Cottage is an ideal destination for memorable island vacations and quiet retreats.

The living room is a comfortable place to sit and talk, read or watch TV. The galley kitchen adjoining the living room has all the appliances and amenities needed to cook up something good. The dining room is a great place to enjoy a meal or drink morning coffee as you gaze across to the beach with a beautiful view south across Ship Bay.

The Master Bathroom has a walk-in shower and soaking Tub. En-suite is a small dry sauna room, the perfect way to relax your muscles after a day of hiking or exploring.

The Master Bedroom features a queen bed, flanked by leather armchairs and ottomans. A small study off the master bedroom is the perfect place to curl up with a book or watch the wildlife in the pond. The study has a large sleeper chair that folds out into a single bed.

A separate Guest Cottage, “The Outback”, connects to the main cottage via a flagstone patio and features a bedroom with a queen bed, dresser, small TV, and a spacious bathroom. “The Outback” provides an ideal, private escape for a second couple, or additional members of your party.

In front of the cottage, across Crescent Beach road is Orcas’ most notable walking beach – the long and gorgeous Crescent Beach: Wade in the tides, beachcomb, rent kayaks, build driftwood sculptures and wiggle your toes in the sand.

Behind the cottage, is a serene bird-watching paradise, with views across a large pond and wetland with all manner of waterbirds, including Blue Herons, Red-Winged Blackbirds, Kingfishers, ducks, and occasionally eagles. The rear patio provides a magical place to grill on the propane BBQ or sit and watch the teeming bird life around the pond.

Charming English cottage by the beach
Wonderful property and we have returned many times. Beautifully appointed with charming English garden. Only negative was we were given wrong key lockbox code and took 30mins of holding on telephone before we got a live person at 11pm who was able to get property manager. Rest of stay was excellent.

This is such a peaceful place to stay
My sister and I came over for a much needed sister weekend and this place was perfect. We both had our own room and the cottage is so charming with wood beams throughout. Outside the property has two fountains (not working now due to winter) and a cute fenced in courtyard. Super close to downtown Eastsound. Would be a great walking get away. It across the street from the bay. Super restful land the home had most everything, bring your own seasonings for cooking.

Not for handicapped persons
My wife is handicapped and uses a walker. There were no indications that this property would be a challenge for her. The entrance flagstones are not level and posed a safety challenge for my wife. The furniture was very low to the floor, which wouldn't be a problem for most people. But my wife could not get out of the couch even with help from me. We had to call the EMTs for their assistance. The heat had not been engaged before we arrive and it took over 4 hours for the small space to warm up. We left the property due to safety concerns before 24 hours were up. When we requested a refund or prorated refund due to the situation, management refused. This property should have a description of the challenges for handicapped persons.

Perfect location, beautiful setting!
We enjoyed everything about this house and had a wonderful experience. Would definitely stay there again. The only thing the owners might consider doing is cutting the bushes a little lower in front of the living room window in order to better enjoy the beautiful view.

Wonderful cottage on Orcas Island
We had an amazing stay in this beach side cottage. It’s near the town area for groceries, bakeries etc. easy to get to the different site seeing locations on both sides of the island. Very comfortable for a family of 4. Kitchen modern with everything needed to cook meals and coffee and creamer. Our kids enjoyed finding crabs and clams every morning and eating on the patio overlooking the pond.

Charming Cottage - Picturesque Location - Perfect Girl’s Weekend!
We’re Bainbridge Island raised girlfriends - 59 years young. We reside in different states and enjoy getting together annually for active girl weekend adventures. Crescent Beach Cottage was ideal! Conveniently located in Eastsound, a short stroll to restaurants and shops, beach walks, peaceful courtyard fountain, gardens, pond and bird estuary. Beach cottage charm and details were appreciated from our designer’s eye. Lightening storm over the sound was thrilling to watch from from our comfortable couch. Plan to enjoy a dinner in the cozy dining area. The cottage is fully equipped for cooking at home. Note to future guests - take time to read the binder (we wondered why the barbecue had no propane tank - it did just not connected).

Best Ever 2nd Stay
Everything exquisite from the location, easy walk to Eastsound, to the stylish and complete furnishings. Separate abode for daughter and bird watching from the patio added to everyone’s pleasure.
