About this property

Maxwelton Beach Waterfront: Sunsets and Olympic Mountain views

Whether a few weeks or a few days, Kate’s Cottage on Maxwelton Beach is the perfect spot for your get-away. With a western view of the Olympic Mountains and colorful sunsets, you’ll find relaxation at every turn. Step outside and you will be 50 yards from the Puget Sound, tempting you to explore miles of sandy beaches and tides. Whidbey Island and Kate’s Cottage present you with an unbeatable array of activities and amenities to make your stay a pleasant one.

The beach style cottage has an open floor plan and two bedrooms, sleeping 4 people. Curl up by the gas stove to enjoy a good read, but expect to get distracted with the beauty of the water, mountains and a myriad of wildlife. Eagles are regular visitors, along with diving osprey, loons, seals, dalls porpoise and deer. We’ve spotted grey whales, orca and otter too!

At low tide, you’ll have miles of sandy beach to explore right outside the door. Fish for salmon from the shore or dig for clams, or simply enjoy a good beach walk to find shells and sand dollars.

After a good beach walk, if a nap is not in order … perhaps a friendly game of croquet on the expansive lawn.

Very cute and clean!
This house is so adorable! The views from the living room are amazing!! The house had everything we needed. We had a lot of fun walking on the beach, and watching all the wild life. Couldn't have asked for a better place to have a girls weekend.

Wonderful vacation cabin in a great location.
We truly enjoyed our stay, caught crabs just off the coast, walked the beach, explored the island parks, rested in the hot tub, and watched the World Series on a nice TV. We accomplished all of that still at a relaxing pace because of the great location and features of the home. Oh, and did I mention the pink sunset over the Olympics and the shell collecting for the kids? The owner is friendly and responsive. The only issue we had was initially no hot water because it was turned down for winter. Once we figured that out, we had no other concerns.

Great place
We have been going to Kate's Cottage for about 10 year now, only missed a few yearly visits and will continue to go as long as we can. The views are wonderful, cottage is well equipped, friendly neighbors, great outdoors space for long walks if the tide is low, awesome for kids with lots of drift wood to build tends. We were all sad we had to leave and already looking forward to the next visit.

Great little escape!
We planned an impromptu trip away with a couple of friends. It was a perfect little cottage with a spectacular view on one of my all time favorite beaches. We thought the cottage was actually cuter than pictured and totally plan to come back as often as we can. It had everything we needed! And it's wonderful that we could bring our dogs who just absolutely ran their little hearts out on at low tide. It's notable that the house is completely wheelchair accessible. The owners were super nice and accommodating. Can't wait to come back!

Lovely winter weekend
We had a lovely weekend at the house. We especially enjoyed going for long beach walks. The house is clean and well-provisioned (nice cooking supplies.) Incredible views of the Olympics - especially from the hot tub. The owner was very accessible and easy to work with. This was our second stay here and we would certainly come back again.

About the host

Hosted by John Newhoff

Host profile image
We have enjoyed Kate's Cottage for 15 years and it has truly been a haven for our family.

Dinners gathered around the table have been filled with laughter and good stories, specially when debating a competitive game of croquet. Shouts of 'bald eagle' when spotted never get old and 'Googling' the latest ship going by is always a must.

Maxwelton Beach is a special spot, we hope you enjoy it too!
