We absolutely loved our stay at Gram’s Waterfront Cottage! This little gem in the historic Manette neighborhood of Bremerton is the perfect blend of quaint charm and modern comfort. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a cozy, well-maintained space that feels like a warm hug from grandma herself—clean, inviting, and full of personality. The cottage is impeccably clean with thoughtful touches throughout. The kitchen is fully equipped for whipping up meals (we especially enjoyed morning coffee on the porch), the bed is incredibly comfortable, and everything you need is right there. But the real star? The waterfront location! Just steps from the no-bank beach, we spent hours watching boat traffic, ferries gliding by, wildlife, and stunning sunsets over the Puget Sound. It’s incredibly peaceful—perfect for unwinding with the gentle sounds of the water and birds. The location couldn’t be better either—easy walk to restaurants, shops, and entertainment, yet tucked away enough to feel like a true escape. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a relaxing solo trip, or a base to explore the Kitsap Peninsula and beyond (hello, quick ferry to Seattle!), this cottage delivers on every level.We can’t recommend Gram’s Waterfront Cottage enough. It’s charming, peaceful, pristine, and exactly what we needed. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you to the hosts for creating such a special place. (Highly recommend for couples or anyone seeking waterfront serenity)

I've stayed in a number of rental houses when I've visited the PNW. This one is, by far, the best. The house is cozy, clean, comfortable, and the view...Let's just say that it didn't matter that it was too cold and wet to spend a lot of time outside. You could simply sit by the large living room window and gaze at the passing ferries, the huge variety of birds, the whales, the seals, and simply be. We were visiting family, and basically needed a place to sleep, but we found ourselves spending hours over our morning coffee watching the view. One of my favorite things about the house is how quiet it is. The neighbors are close, but there was no noise, and our nights were completely undisturbed. The hosts seem to have thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. This was a truly blissful vacation and I hope to be able to visit again.

Charming cottage with great views of the water and close to the quaint downtown area of Manette.

Cottage is well furnished. Only recommendation would be to increase the water pressure in the shower. Overall, it was a great spot and we enjoyed our time here

Hi Debbie, glad you enjoyed your stay. I also noticed the shower pressure when i was cleaning today. There is a valve at the top of the shower next to the head that rotates to higher or lower pressure. My apologies! I'll add it to the guest book for future reference. Dawn

Relaxing Weekend Getaway!

This property has amazing views, lots of activity to watch on the water, but also quiet and relaxing. Easy walk to restaurants and shops. We've stayed at lots of VRBO rentals, but none with this great ambiance and chill vibe. We already sent a request for our next stay. Thank you, Dawn, for being such a great host!

That was the cutest little cozy place I have ever stayed in. The bed was even comfortably. We sat in the porch and watched boats go by, lots of seals playing, beautiful moon lit water, and it was all quiet except for the amazing slapping of the water, seal noses and migrating ducks and sea birds. I was in classes all day and my husband stayed in the cottage and worked from there during the day. At night, we ate every meal at The Boat Shed that’s within walking distance. The food was amazing at the shed and we had the halibut, the most amazing clam chowder and bread pudding almost every night!!!! We went to a few other sea food places, but this was by far the very, very best. What a relaxing retreat!

Fantastic Location!

Such a little gem, I didn't want to leave. It's the perfect property with it's waterfront location (not that the weather cooperated for my entire stay), comfy porch and a warm & inviting interior of the cottage itself. It'll be my go-to if it's available. Jodi Sheffield Billings, Montana

Wonderful!

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon. It was very clean and a beautiful view. we enjoyed ourselves immensely. the ferry to Seattle is 5 minute drive from the house. We walked to the Boat Shed and had a yummy dinner on the deck. Dawn was very kind and helpful. If we're ever in the area we'll definitely stay again.

Cute place with awesome views.

The cottage is super cute and the location is absolutely phenomenal. I am so glad I rented this place away from the hustle and bustle of Seattle. The town of Bremerton around this rental is very nice and quiet. There are quite a few places to eat nearby (within walking distance) and the ferry terminal is also walkable albeit a long walk but you will get to walk on the gorgeous Manette Bridge and across the bridge there is plenty more to do. The rental is well stocked and has all the amenities you may need for your stay. Was really happy with my stay.

Perfection!!!

Upon entering the house, I was in love. This is an older cottage that has so much character. I do not think the pictures do it justice. I could sit on the couch and stare out of the window all day long watching the boats, ferries, and wildlife. This is a place where you can relax and unwind or play with your 6 month old granddaughter til you drop. They have everything you could possibly want or need at this cottage; grill, fire pit, patio, porch, washer/dryer. There were many condiments so you don't have to buy everything when you arrive. I do believe this is going to be my new favorite place to stay when visiting my daughter and her family in Bremerton.

Incredible views and proximity to the water!

The pictures of Grandma's Cottage accurately portray the setting, the view, and interior. Everything a person could need or want is provided. I am so grateful to Dawn and Einar for installing a portable AC unit in anticipation of unseasonably hot weather. This was the perfect place to rest and rejuvenate. I hope to return to Grandma's Cottage the next time I'm in Kitsap County.
