Vacation rentals in Shelter Bay

Kingfisher Cove Hideaway

As you descend the walkway and round the corner suddenly your whole outlook will change! Perched directly above the serene blue-green waters of Skagit Bay, this custom built vacation home will usher you into a relaxing getaway from it all. Floor-to-ceiling windows immediately draw your eyes outside, where you can watch for seals, orcas, gray whales, great blue herons, and bald eagles, with the forests of Deception Pass State Park directly across the water. Whether you're dining at the cozy table, sitting in the red leather reclining chairs, or snuggled up in the luxurious king-size bed, the spectacular view will melt away your everyday stress. A full-size kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare your meals, but if you choose to dine out, there are many delightful options in nearby Anacortes and La Conner. Sunny weather graces this area often and there are a couple of Adirondack chairs for you to sit in, while you gaze at nature or relax and read. A full-size washer and dryer are also available, as well as a generously sized shower, complete with a heated towel warmer and radiant floor heating. No need to bring bottled water! We have a whole house filtration system! Incredibly close to Deception Pass State Park, there is an abundance of walking and hiking trails within minutes of Kingfisher Cove Hideaway. Walk across the historic Deception Pass Bridge and look east to see where you're staying, or west to gaze at the San Juan Islands and the Salish Sea. In addition to Deception Pass State Park, there are dozens of trailheads to choose from in the Anacortes Community Forest Lands (ACFL), with more than 50 miles of multi-use trails. The harbor-side marinas in Anacortes allow visitors to walk among the docks and look at sailboats and pleasure craft, and the Tommy Thompson Trail takes you along the marinas and across the notable 2,000-foot-long paved trestle spanning picturesque Fidalgo Bay. Hop on a ferry, right from Anacortes, to day-trip to the San Juan Islands. Nestled at the edge of the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, south Fidalgo Island gets half the amount of rain that Seattle does. And there's no need to take a ferry to get here - an easy one-and-a-half-hour drive from the greater Seattle area ushers you to this fabulous getaway vacation home. Accessibility: There is a sloped, meandering walkway with some stairs to get from the guest parking to the guest house, which is not wheelchair-accessible. If mobility is a challenge, you most likely will find our walkway down to the guest house not accessible for you. The entire guest house, including the property, is smoke-free. This is an adults-only guest house. No dog(s) or any other pets/animals can be accommodated in Kingfisher Cove Hideaway. Parking notes: The designated parking space is best situated to accommodate standard-size vehicles. Feel free to pull your vehicle all the way down our driveway and turn around at the garage. It is much easier to exit the driveway. This will make sense when you see our (atypically) curved driveway.
