About this property

A truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Anacortes' most sought-after waterfront escapes, with its own private beach cove. Welcome to Alexander's Cove, a beloved beach cottage held by the same family since the 1960s and a thriving, top-rated short-term rental for years. Set inside the coveted, gated Del Mar community on 1/3+ acre, this delightful waterfront retreat faces southwest for sunsets you simply must see to believe. Sip your morning coffee on the deck and soak in the peace and the abundant wildlife: whales, eagles, seals, porpoises, otters, deer and more, right outside your door. A private stairway delivers you to Alexander Beach, a rare sandy shoreline made for strolling and beachcombing at low tide, kayaking, paddleboarding and unforgettable evenings by the water. Inside, warm hardwood floors, double-pane windows and cozy comforts welcome you the moment you walk in. An unfinished studio with a 3/4 bath adds exciting potential as a guest suite or additional dwelling unit (buyer to verify).
