walkable from the bungalow, go for your coffee grounds at the house or grab a cup onsite. delicious pastries as well... I love so many of the different bread loafs! I get the local roast or french roast for me and my drip coffee maker. Pet friendly too! When I take my golden retriever in, he knows there are t.r.e.a.t.s behind the counter!

Only a 30 min, beautiful drive away through Deception Pass. I've bought nearly 99% of all my clothes from this shop for the past 3-4 years. I LOVE the clothes they carry, plus there are some great shoes too, especially for a business casual style or for anyone who loves boating, or an outdoorsy lifestyle. Beautiful, quality, but not overpriced. I've also fallen in love with the Liverpool brand of jeans and have multiple pairs. The ladies who work here are all much like Jennifer Mann (the owner) and are super friendly, knowledgeable about their products, and frankly they all help me be a "better girl" because they help style me. Some of the pieces they recommended that I alone would NEVER have purchased have become my favorite pieces and the ones I get the MOST compliments on. The jewelry is amazing, and often made by local artisans, plus there are other fun things in the shop and they also have a men's section that is quite nice! In the hip and historic district of Commercial Ave in Anacortes - it's worth a drive to it and the shops plus restaurants in that district.

Lovely trails in the trees and along the beach with stunning scenery looking out towards the San Juan Islands and Vancouver Island, CN. Eagles nesting usually in the area and very accessible in the lower main parking lot (State Park fees or placard needed) and another at the top of the gently sloping hill that makes hotter summer time walks or on windy days much more manageable.

often talked about just as a military town, this historic region has a lot more than that to offer. Keeper of the Garrey Oaks which are the namesake of the island, they are centuries old. The small old town is quirky and quaint with some great shops. Parks in abundance and access to trails, gorgeous vistas and more. Easy drives to other nearby interesting 'burbs like Coupeville and Anacortes, along with ferry access to the peninsula (check schedules) and to the San Juan's with a short drive up thru Anacortes.

another great day trip about 20 min away from the Mermaid Captan house is the adorable waterfront area of Coupeville. Some cute shops and good food options here. a long dock area is great to wak out on and a short trail to the west of it leads to a lovely park overlooking Penn Cove, where delicious clams and mussels come from.

A beautiful seaside city surrounded on 3 sides by water. from Fidago Bay, to the Guemes Channel, to heading out to Salish Sea and the San Juan Islands, it'sthe gateway to all things boating. Cap Sante Marina Park is a good start next to the marina where so much is walkable nearby. Local offleash dogpark located opposite side of marina and access to walking trails heading out to the point. nearby is Old Town and the historic Commercial Ave shopping district. The highway 20 spur leads to the WA State Ferries that take you to the San Juan island areas of Orcas, San Juan (Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor), and more. Totally worth it's own day trip to Anacortes, just 30 min north of Oak Harbor and the Mermaid Captain house.
