Great character, fun and funky. While the space is small it is functional and more than enough for a quiet weekend getaway.

Great space inside and out. The gardens were lovely. A nice sitting area outside for those sunny NW days. Inside was quaint and out. The kitchen had everything one needed. Parking was easy. The host, Nancy, was a pleasure. All in all- a nice stay.

I wanted relaxation and that’s what I got. A charmingly decorated little cottage that had everything I needed and more. I chose to sleep on the daybed because of the bathroom being on that level( and the fact that I’m 72!) but the loft looked so inviting and fun to sleep in. Loved the different garden areas to relax and read in. Also loved that I could walk to The Pier Restaurant for an excellent salmon dinner and cocktail. Owner Nancy King Is a lovely lady and a helpful host. A gem of a place that I highly recommend.

There is nothing like having a sweet small child giggle rising from the garden accompanied by her parents. Do hope that they shall return for another stay and visit to our Point in more ways than one. They left the community a joyous memory with their presence.

Cozy cottage

Nancy was very warm and welcoming. The garden was beautiful and the cottage was the perfect place for us to have some quiet time at the Point. Just a few blocks away from the entrance to south beach was perfect for walking to the sandbar.

A delight to have this young family of a toddler enjoy the garden and beach. As many know, a return to Point Roberts joyfully fills your being, and Amanda's stay for a reunion brought back memories of her family's childhood stays of the past. This family were a especially courtesy guest in the cottage. Would love to welcome them back

Beautiful Pt Roberts cottage. The owner is a master gardener and the gardens were enchanted. We were warm and comfortable. The main bed is a loft. I slept better than I usually do. There is a trundle bed, equally as comfortable for those that don’t want to climb up and down. A small but well supplied kitchen. The old beach homes in the neighborhood made for a beautiful walk. We’ll be back.

We were only there for one night on our way to British Columbia but this rental ticked all the boxes for us. Very clean upon arrival, excellent communication with the owner and in a very peaceful, quiet neighborhood. Definitely has a high recommendation.
