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.

Cozy, accommodation. well supplied kitchen. It’s an older cottage so not five star luxury, but a nice quiet get away. Friendly helpful host. Beautiful rustic garden. If you are older and have mobility issues, the climb to the loft and down again in the night, could pose a challenge. challenge, but fine f

About the host

Hosted by Nancy D King

Host profile image
As a extensive traveler active within the hospitality industry, I enjoy the personal opportunity of continuing to do so in a small way on my lovely property.

Why they chose this property

Point Roberts has been my home since 1989 after traveling extensively. The quaintness of this small community has not changed sinced I fell in love with it in 1969, therefore returned for good. The quiet lanes surronding my one block long lane leads to the South Beach waters only alittle over a block away. I like the stillness and peace found here.

What makes this property unique

The surroundings are a old Irish/English style garden, with fruit trees a few over a half century established. Over 14 distributed trees harvested seasonally through out the year within the Floral and Shrubs of the garden and adjoining organic/heirloom vegetable garden add to the small village atmosphere of Point
Roberts.. The cottage situated immediately at the herb garden offers a retreat to rest or inspire be you the creative soul, Artist, writer, student, while lounging as the sound of the near by ocean relax the spirit. The Garden Cottage on the premises for visiting guest. I am a short distance away, often located elsewhere.
