Vacation Home Management Vacasa unlocks the possibilities of how we enjoy vacation homes. We take care of managing our homeowners’ vacation houses so they can have peace of mind (and their home when they want to). And our guests book vacations confidently knowing they’re going to find exactly what they’re looking for without any surprises. Each vacation home is always cared for by our professional local teams who implement our high cleanliness and maintenance values, while the hands-off tasks of vacation rental management--marketing, filing taxes, and maintaining a website--are handled by a specialized central support team. Our passion and focus remains true: to empower our homeowners, guests, and employees to invest in vacation.

Welcome to Rosewater Cottage, a charming and historic waterfront farmhouse on Bainbridge Island, named after the soft hues of sunset reflecting on the harbor. As one of the original homes on Eagle Harbor, this lovingly preserved retreat captures the essence of a bygone era while offering the perfect blend of authentic charm and modern comfort. Step inside and be transported to a time when craftsmanship and character defined a home. With vaulted ceilings and cozy yet spacious living areas, Rosewater Cottage exudes warmth and timeless beauty. Large windows invite natural light and frame breathtaking harbor views, setting the perfect backdrop for quiet mornings and peaceful evenings. Nestled in a calm and quiet neighborhood on a secluded loop off the main road, this home provides a true sense of retreat. The serene waters of Eagle Harbor stretch out before you, offering exceptional birdwatching, playful visits from seals and otters, and a tranquil setting for kayaking. Beyond the cottage, Bainbridge Island offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, small-town charm, and Pacific Northwest adventure. Just minutes away, explore the island’s vibrant Winslow district, where you’ll find art galleries, farm-to-table restaurants, cozy cafés, and local boutiques.
