About this property

Amazing Sunsets, Sandy Beachfront, Fire Pit for S’mores, Come Relax & Rejuvenate

The Maxwelton Beach Escape is a spacious two story 1664 square-foot level sandy beach waterfront home. It has an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings throughout. There is a free standing propane fireplace, 43” Smart TV with soundbar and plenty of living room space to relax after a day of playing in the large yard or walking for miles on the sandy beach.

The spacious kitchen is fully equipped for all your cooking needs and features a large dining table with seating for eight.

A king bed is in the main level bedroom, for those that don't want to deal with stairs. The large upstairs master bedroom has a king bed, portable AC unit and a great view of the shipping lanes & sunsets. The second upstairs bedroom has a queen bed & two twin beds for those families with a lot of kids.

The large yard has its very own horseshoe pit along with plenty of room to play yard games. The covered deck makes it possible to enjoy a family meal at the outside table, no matter what the weather is doing! There are two large sunshades you can pull down, to provide additional shade while on the covered deck, in the late afternoons.

Relax on the covered deck, watching an occasional eagle or osprey fly by, while listening to the waves crashing on the beach. Plans for a platform deck located out by the beach, are in the works! There is a freestanding firepit and a private boardwalk to your own beach, so don't forget to bring some firewood & the makings for S’more’s!

Make sure to bring your kayaks or paddle boards, as you can launch them right from your own beach, directly in front of the house!

Other amenities in the home include wifi, a DVD/Blueray player, 43“ Smart TV, propane bbq, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster and a washer and dryer.

There is a community park just up the street with a playground and baseball diamond, so bring your gloves & bats if you want to play ball! The home is located almost at the end of a dead-end flat road, so bring your bicycles too!

Maxwelton Beach is known as one of the best beaches on South Whidbey, to watch the gorgeous sunsets! Come create memories that will last a lifetime & enjoy all that Whidbey has to offer.

Please be aware there is only parking for two vehicles at this time. Additional parking to accommodate a third vehicle will be available, as of July 1st.

We have recently started using VRBO’s rate recommendations, so the reservation rental rates may increase or decrease each day. Please note that we do not honor yesterday's rates.

Cozy and welcoming beach getaway

My daughter and I stayed here for Thanksgiving and found it lovely and charming. The propane fireplace makes it feel very cozy and warm in cold weather. The beds are firm but comfortable, the kitchen has most of what anyone would reasonably need, including some kid-friendly dishware. The views are stunning, and the beach walking superb. Location feels perfect - remote but close enough to supermarkets, a nice local playground, and other amenities. April the property manager is responsive and helpful. If I was searching for criticisms, the water filtration pitcher has probably earned its retirement and the grill needs some maintenance, but we didn't experience anything that took anything away from our stay, and we look forward to visiting again someday.

Peaceful and cozy fall getaway

We had a wonderful long weekend with friends and a dog — enjoying the beautiful views out the window, walking on the beach, cooking dinner, and lounging about on the cozy couches! Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect week at the beach

Me, my friend, and our daughters had a marvelous time at this beautiful house on the water. Our 8-year-olds never even asked to turn on a screen while we were here. They played in the tides, enjoyed the rented kayak, and drew. It was a wonderful, un-plugged get-away!

Perfect Spot

We had a great long weekend with our adult children! The house is the perfect location, right on the beach, close to Langley for a fun afternoon and we loved the winery close by. The house is clean and the owner was very responsive, we would definitely rent this house again.

Thanksgiving

This house was a great fit for our family of three couples and one small dog to spend Thanksgiving together. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing our feast, with the turkey cooked on the barbeque grill. Beautiful setting with lovely sunrises turning the Olympics pink and sunsets creating dramatic outlines. There is good beach access. We brought our small inflatable and set crab pots, and the only downside was not getting any crab. Clean and well cared for, with reasonable requests for guests to keep it that way.

Great Whidbey Getaway

Wonderful location on a long stretch of beach. Beds are comfortable, view are magnificent, and the proximity to wildlife is fantastic. Great for a 2 family getaway. Also an easy drive to the Saturday Farmer's Market, Whidbey Island Donuts, Rocket Taco, etc. Highly recommend!

October weekend

The property was perfect for us including floor plan and beach access. We love to cook when we visit the island. It would have been so nice to have a complete set of measuring cups for dry ingredients and a cup for measuring liquids.

Lovely beachfront property

Lovely house, very consistent with the listing. The beachfront location is wonderful as is south Whidbey island (great state parks, and two amazing dog parks nearby). The fire pit was great too. If you have an inflatable paddleboard you can bring it and get right on the water (though obviously watch out for winds/tides). Low tide is amazing with lots of beach life to discover and there's a park that's walkable down the beach with swings etc. The house itself has everything you would expect and is well-kept. Note that the grass area to the beach isn't fenced, so it feels slightly communal with the other properties, but that worked out great as the kids from different houses were encouraged to play with each other. Would stay here again. Recommended.

Maxwelton visit

Thank you to the owners and the prop manager April for facilitating a much needed peaceful weekend. We loved the property, and the location is an area that I have not been to previously. I greatly appreciate and prefer a house that fits the neighborhood rather than a some gaudy McMansion. Your property was just right for us. We look forward to returning soon.

Wonderful and comfortable beachfront rental on Whidbey Island

This home is so well cared for and though the pictures are great, it's even better in person. The neighborhood is very quiet and the home easy to find. The grass lawn leading up to the beach is lovely and great for kids running around. The view was spectacular at all times of day and true to the description, we saw eagles! The home is super clean (and I'm picky) and is well equipped in the kitchen. We've stayed in a lot of rental properties and this home was definitely one of our favorite. We also fell in love with Whidbey Island and are already trying to find time to return to this rental. Many thanks for a great family vacation.

The pictures don't do it justice

We enjoyed a fantastic early September week in Maxwelton. Wonderful sunsets each night, long walks on the beach, and lots of quiet after Labor Day. If there's a next time, we'd bring kayaks and/or bikes -- both very doable.

Wonderful week

This was such a wonderful home—perfect for a beach week, swimming, yard games and water activities. Very nicely set up for families or an adults only getaway. The pathway to the beach was well maintained and although we weren’t able to use the fire pit (burn ban), the covered porch had a beautiful sunset view. Can’t wait to return!
