About this property

Accessible! Beach Cabin on Sunlight Beach Useless Bay, Whidbey Island

Whidbey's most desired location, Sunlight Beach, on gorgeous Useless Bay. Enjoy eagle and birdwatching, clamming and crabbing in front of your Beachhouse. With the surf setting behind the majestic Olympics, mile plus tide flats ( on low tide ) cmake for hours of sandy beach combing. Newly renovated with an Accessible bedroom, kitchen and great room. The cabin is a wonderful place to get away from crowds and enjoy nature.

It’s a fabulous place for large and small children! Romantic escape for couples. Ideal retreat for artists and writers.

This beach cabin was built by our Norwegian uncle, Hans, a fisherman and logger. He built the cabin as his home in the 1930s. . Renovated with accessibility in mind as one of our family members uses a power chair, there is an large, open living and kitchen space with big picture windows so you don’t miss a thing. A comfy lift chair adds to the amenities. The kitchen is fully equipped. The dining corner has room for six (but don’t tell anyone we have crowded 8 around it for crab feasts). The deck off the front provides a level entrance to the cabin as well as a grill and chairs to chill on or sunbath in. The cabin has housed many great family reunions.

Over the past year we have begun making exciting changes to our cabin. Our goal is a truly accessible beach cabin. The bedroom with large windows overlooking the bay has doubled in size and has room for a power wheelchair on all sides of the queen bed. It has a patient lift and commode while we finish the 2nd bathroom. The cabin has a level entrance a light filled great room and kitchen all designed with a chair in mind. The bathroom is partially accessible. Please feel free to reach out with questions.

A walkway from the bulkhead across to the nearest spit provides easy access to the tidal flats of Useless Bay. It is also a fun place to see small crabs and fish for them with a hotdog baited pole - a time honored tradition!

Visit the nearby the village of Langley, just 10 minutes away. Perched on a bluff overlooking Saratoga Passage, Langley offers plenty of restaurants antique stores and art galleries. Historic Coupeville is just a half hour up the island.

Easy weekend getaway with partner and pup. Every time we come there is something new. This time there was a whole new bedroom with a great new bed. Good place for birding and relaxing.

Location Location Location!!
Very comfortable home. Only wish the mattresses were better. They are broken down and you roll into the center. I have a bad back and couldn't sleep. Other than that the view is amazing, the firepit wonderful, and if the side windows get blinds the privacy will be wonderful!
