Oak Harbor Cottage | Fossil Cottage On Penn Cove - Sunrise To Sunset Beachfront Haven

2 Bedroom Cottage in Oak Harbor

Fossil Cottage's south facing beachfront location is what we love most. Sunshine all day long and the very easy access to the water --- made easier by the boat ramp --- makes this the ideal spot for people who love water sports and playing outside. With barely any light pollution in the area, the location of Fossil Cottage is an excellent place to enjoy star gazing on clear nights. It is breathtaking to see the multitude of twinkling lights overhead and sometimes, the occasional shooting star. The very private location, with its own private beach, makes Fossil Cottage the perfect getaway for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of a busy scheduled life.
Perfectly situated on Whidbey Island's famous Penn Cove, Fossil Cottage is a slice of peace and tranquility. It is a special place where you can relax, breathe in the fresh sea air, commune with nature and restore your soul. Its south facing backyard provides unobstructed views of the picturesque town of Coupeville with 180 degree views to the East and West. Enjoy the ever-changing sky from sunrise to sunset. The snow capped peaks of the Olympic Mountains provide a backdrop to the awesome bald eagles soaring overhead. Resident herons perched on rocks; the occasional deer strolling on the beach; rabbits in the garden; a variety of wild birds; and an abundance of sea life are some of the natural attractions that can be seen just outside the cottage. Fossil Cottage is the perfect place to delight in the simple wonders of nature and the glorious abundance of the Pacific Northwest.
Fossil Cottage enjoys Penn Cove as its backyard. There are miles of shore to discover as you take long walks along the beach, while beach combing for treasures. A private eight foot wide boat ramp provides easy access to the water. Registered and qualified guests can enjoy use of the Cottage’s kayaks and rowboat. Enjoy a leisurely paddle along the Penn Cove shoreline or bring your own watercraft to explore Whidbey’s magical, clear waters. Dig for clams, trap some crabs, catch a fish...right in the backyard! Soak in the panoramic views from the upper sun deck, covered outdoor living area, lounge chairs by the shore, or from the beautiful park like garden. Star gaze while making s'mores around the firepit as the moonlight shimmers across the cove and waves lap gently against the shore.
Fossil Cottage is a lovingly renovated home with many original artworks and custom furniture made by the owners Jen & Greg. The bright and airy open concept living area is full of natural light and very connected to the views and surrounding landscape which makes Fossil Cottage the perfect four season getaway. Two well appointed bedrooms feature plush and comfortable king sized beds, perfect to lay your head after a day of island adventures and exploring. The kitchen is spacious and features stainless steel appliances plus everything you could need to make a home cooked meal. Enjoy the eating area with panoramic views and the sun deck overlooking the water.

Summary: Fossil Cottage was a treat to stay at. Heading out on the calm, private waters of the cove at your will and enjoying the expansive views, the mussels, and the proximity to Coupeville and Oak Harbor were all perks that are going to bring us back. Absolutely loved the simplicity of the place and check in/out processes. We’ll be back!

Summary: Nice house right on the beach, in a pleasant rural setting. Good view of Penn Cove through a pair of double glass doors that open onto a great deck overlooking the water. Two bedrooms with king beds; beds are comfortable too.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed everything about Fossil House. We had three gorgeous, sunny days soaking up the sun and views of Penn Cove, which this house just about floats over. The open plan house takes full advantage of the view, which is even more spectacular from the front deck. We enjoyed both sunrises and sunsets from the deck, probably only possible because it was January, but the full south exposure is hard to come by on Whidbey waterfront, so we made the most of it. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed, exactly where you would expect to find it. The location is mid-island, perfect for exploring north or south, although there is so much to see within a 15 minute drive that we mostly explored mid-island.The interior decor is nautically themed but in a fresh, stylish (not cloying) way. It also feels authentic and done with love by some with an artistic eye, not something ordered out of a decor catalog one day. I really appreciated that. We will definitely return here for another stay when we need to relax and unwind on the water.

Summary: This was the second time I've stayed at Fossil cottage. I love everything about this little slice of heaven. The beds are extremely comfortable. The kitchen is easy to work in, the bathroom (aside from having to get wet to turn the shower on) is wonderful. And the view!! I could sit for hours just looking out over the water. We didn't see seals but we did see otters. We saw a whale the last time I was here. I look forward to staying here again. Whenever that will be will not be soon enough!

Summary: From the moment we stepped in to Fossil Cottage we knew we made the right decision. We looked at many VRBO listings and went back to Fossil Cottage; so happy we did. Loved that the water was right at our doorstep. The furnishings were perfect for the cottage. The beds....wow! So comfortable and cozy; didn't want to get out of bed each morning but we had a lot to discover in the area. The ride to Seattle was about two hours but there was so much to see along the way. Jennifer is a wonderful host; she was always available when /if we needed her. We highly recommend this beautiful property. The one and only suggestion we have is maybe tidy up the under the deck space. It is needing a refresh.

Summary: Perfect retreat for a bestie and me - to enjoy the quiet beauty of Whidbey, the exquisite sunsets, the stars and the new moon. That along with making amazing dinners made from local treasures from the farmers market outside of Langley, and sitting around a roaring fire in the fire pit catching up on life. Thank you!
