“Amazing honeymoon spot!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2005

I'm reluctant to post on here about the Bayside Cottages because they're a hidden gem and I don't want them to get too well-known...but they're so amazing that I had to write a review.

The views are awesome! We woke up every morning to a wonderful view of Mt. Baker from our bed (we stayed in the Lummi Cottage). It was so clean and romantic, the alcove bed was wonderful, and the porch was great. We even had a woman come to give us massages on our porch.

The island is quaint, rustic and secluded. You don't see many people on the property of the Bayside Cottages let alone the entire island. The weather was fabulous, the food was great. Go to Olga's in Eastsound for breakfast, the Lower Tavern for great burgers, and Rose's Bakery for wonderful treats...or a nice lunch to bring on a hike.

We would highly recommend the Lummi or any other of the cottages. The Nelson's were wonderful to deal with and the property is stunning. We're going back for an anniversary in 5 years or so!

“A great spot to Relax”

My wife and I had the opportunity to take our 4 month son on his first trip and chose Bayside as the spot to do it. It was off season (Nov 10) and we were the only ones on the property for two of our three nights. We stayed in the Beach House which greatly exceeded our expectations.

Anything we could think of that we required during our stay was in the cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed the area.

We will certainly return.

“Absolute gem!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2003

The web site for Bayside Cottages does not do it justice! We stayed in the Cypress cottage which made for a perfect and private getaway for two. The views were amazing and everything in the cottage caters to comfort. It was not as flowery and ostentatious as many B&B's, which is exactly what appealed to us. I highly recommed this place to anyone looking for a wonderful, quiet experience. Because it is further out of town, prepare to drive a lot- but, the drives are enjoyable!
