Whidbey Island Beach Home

I cannot say enough about how great a home this is. We had 8 family members, and we were all easily accommodated. A great location, solidly-built beach cottage vibe, wonderful kitchen and great room, and sunsets over the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains that you have to see to believe. We will definitely book it again

Another Wonderful Stay

This was our 4th year here and I think it’s become a family tradition. Our 5 year old granddaughter is already asking when we can go back to the Adventure House. As usual it had everything we needed including 2 bikes and a canoe.

Repeat visit. This house is just amazing. I return for the art - such a compliment to the view. My family loves it for the location, ease and amenities. This is one of the best stocked houses you’ll find. The owners obviously stay there a lot and are gracious to allow vacationers to enjoy their lovely spot and home. Thank you again!!

Our Best Whidbey Island Experience

We have stayed at numerous Whidbey Island properties over the last several years in Maxwelton, Sandy Point, Freeland, Greenbank, Coupeville, Harrison Lagoon, Penn Cove, and other locations. Hands down, this is the most amazing house we have ever stayed at. The house is incredible -- fully-stocked with everything you could possibly need, a spacious kitchen/dining room/living room area, a separate office, and three beautiful bedrooms. It is quiet and private, and the outdoor space is awesome -- covered (but sunny), with a perfect western view of the water, the Olympic mountains, and beautiful sunsets. The house itself has "soul" -- beautiful wood everywhere, fantastic art throughout the house, and genuine family touches in every room. This is not just a generic house -- it is an actual family home, and you can feel that in every room.The owners (who live locally in the Seattle area) are genuine, responsive and dedicated to taking care of everything you need.And the location is perfect -- close to Langley and Freeland (which have great restaurants, grocery stores, and even pickleball courts you can rent), and lots of beaches and parks.If you're looking for the perfect place for a family vacation, this is it.

Hawaii at Maxwelton

The private community beach was just what we needed. Relaxed right away and had a full week of sun and breeze. We hosted a barbecue on the spacious deck for a few family members and all were impressed. The comfortable beds and lovely interior helped us enjoy.

Perfect Beach House

Our extended family loved this house and would move in tomorrow given half a chance :) !! The house is literally on the beach and so quiet we barely saw anyone the entire weekend. Everything you could possible need is provided - it really does feel like home. Dinner on the deck with sunset as a backdrop, and waking up to the view from the master bedroom were the highlights for me. Thanks for a memorable stay!

Wonderful Whidbey

Perfect spot for an easy getaway from Seattle. Everything about our stay was perfect. Our kids were able to do remote learning and would run out back door to play on the beach during breaks and after "school." House was clean, well stocked, and the communication with the owner was the best I've experienced in all my rental experiences. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Wonderful retreat

The house and location is amazing. Everything was very clean and the house is furnished to welcome you for your stay. The kitchen is well stocked. Ror was great to walk us trough everything and was always available for questions. It was such wonderful retreat from the world watching the ships go by and the sun set behind the mountains. Absolutely loved the place. Thank you for your hospitality.

Coming to the beach house for a week has become a family tradition. This year we used it to celebrate our 50 years of marriage. We hired a photographer to take family photos on the beach. It was a magical time for all of us.

Beautiful Beach House

This is an absolutely stunning home. The location is spectacular. We stayed over Thanksgiving, and the kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook a large meal. There were plenty of puzzles and games to keep the kids entertained, along with beach toys and beach chairs. A few things to note: there isn’t a fully enclosed portion of the yard, which the owners did state ahead of time. This wasn’t a problem for us, since our dog doesn’t wander. The stairs are also somewhat steep and just hardwood. Our dog struggled with those, and I would assume they would be difficult for someone with mobility issues. Overall, we had an amazing time and would love to visit again.

Perfect on our stormy week!

The home is perfectly situated on the water. Windows cover the front of the home and we enjoyed the view watching the storms roll in and out and the seagulls breaking shells. The kitchen is well equipped and we found everything we needed. All of the bedrooms are upstairs and all with comfortable beds. The home has beautiful finishes and comfortable furniture. We felt pampered staying here and would definitely come again.

Beautiful home & oceanfront property

Just wanted to share our recent experience at this incredible oceanfront property. Picture this: waking up to the soothing sound of waves, sipping coffee with a breathtaking view, and feeling the ocean breeze on your face – pure bliss! The custom home was cozy. If you're all about a good night's sleep, this place will not disappoint. The only "person" who loved it more than us was our golden retriever. She loved swimming in the ocean. Highly recommend for some serious relaxation and lovely long walks on the beach.

Great PNW getaway

This is a beautiful home and a terrific location. Since it's western facing you can enjoy the sunsets and can partake in long walks along the beach during low tide. If you have little ones (or even adults) they will enjoy digging or searching for creatures during low tide. In the evening you can enjoy a fire along the beach when it's a bit chillier. All in all the host was awesome and the property was impeccable. It's a great house for a group or it's nice for a single family. The 'secret' closets were also a big hit with the 5 year old!
