About this property
Studio on the water's edge of Penn Cove with hot tub and sauna spa area
The studio is in a separate building from the main house in this little slice of paradise that is a part of Ebeys National Historic Reserve and is on a beach right at the water's edge of Penn Cove. Nature abounds on this unique property, with eagles, hawks, gulls, owls, herons, oyster catchers and so many other birds showing up on the shores. You will often spot harbor seals, and the occasional otter and orca, too. Whether you are looking for a romantic and peaceful escape from city life, or an active few days exploring the numerous state parks, fishing, crabbing, kayaking, boating, antiquing, wine tasting at nearby island wineries, tasting locally produced ales, getting fresh produce from local farms, enjoying the quaint town of Coupeville, there are many options. The studio has a stove and refrigerator, so you are able to prepare light meals. There is an outdoor, under cover picnic area. There is also a cedar hot tub and sauna available for use for an extra daily fee (usually included in quote, but is optional). This property falls into the rain shadow and is south facing, so we often see sunshine when a lot of the Pacific Northwest is under cloud cover or rain. Located a few minutes from the town of Coupeville, and with Oak Harbor a few minutes in the other direction, State parks nearby, this studio located in a rural private enclave right on the water offers something for everyone to enjoy.
Please note that either myself and my husband or a caretaker will almost always be staying in the main house during your stay, so if any issues arise, would be able to address them as soon as is feasible.
For a limited time, we are also offering a basement suite in the main house with a separate private entrance that has a kitchen and its own separate hot tub and firepit area. See VRBO rental # 2989661. The availability is from April 29th, 2026 to June 29th, 2026.

The grounds and the studio were absolutely beautiful and the hosts were discreet yet so warm and inviting when we crossed paths! Such a cozy and perfect stay. We enjoyed taking in the stunning views and rain while enjoying a wonderful soak in the beautiful hot tub! Couldn't be happier with our stay and can't wait to visit again!

We had a wonderful time here. The location is stunning, we had a plenty of privacy, and the hosts were delightful. They even offered us fresh caught Dungeness crab! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing stay.

Thank you for your kind words and for choosing our place!
My fiancé and I had a lovely stay at the studio. The space was clean and offered all of our necessities. It was amazing to wake up to beautiful sunrises over the water and walk our pup along the beach. The location was perfect - central to all of our excursions, and the hot tub was the best way to relax after a day of exploring the island.

We loved having our morning coffee at this quiet spot right on the water at Penn Cove. It was easy for us to get to Coupeville to enjoy a meal there and we had a great day taking the ferry to Port Townsend.

Thank you for choosing our spot. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay.
We really enjoyed the location, the setting, and the hot tub! The space is cozy and perfect for a romantic getaway or location to spend some downtime. Whidbey Island is gorgeous and lots of great places to see. If you wanted to do a lot of cooking, this location may not be ideal because of the size. The host was very attentive and helpful.

Debbie's studio was cozy with a beautiful view of the cove. We just missed an orca pod right before we arrived but it was still fun to keep our eyes out for a possible return.The view is lovely and the property is peaceful

This place was so dreamy and the perfect little getaway from Seattle. Loved being right on the water, and the hot tub/sauna were a huge bonus! Would definitely love to stay here again sometime. Thank you Debbie!

The hot tub and sauna were great! Beach view and walks on beach were perfect! Getting the kayak into the water could not have been easier. Weather was perfect!!We loved it and our dog loved it!Only one thing prevented a 5 star rating and that was my shower going cold after only 5 minutes but really was a 4.75 stars because every thing else was perfect!!!
Lovely place to spend a couple of nights. We enjoyed walking the short beach and sitting in the hot tub. It’s a very cute, well appointed place, the bed is extremely comfortable!The chickens hanging out by the door made it somewhat treacherous to walk without being very careful where you step.

About the host
Hosted by Debbie Jackson
My husband John and I moved here in November, 2021 and feel incredibly lucky to call this wonderful property on the water's edge of Penn Cove our home. We have another property we have been renting out in California for over ten years now on VRBO, so are very familiar with the requirements of what makes happy renters. We love to create space that is inviting and comfortable and pleasing to the eye. We look forward to sharing our little slice of heaven with you.
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location. No nearby neighbors and right on the water in a reserve. A few minute's drive to towns and shopping and also state parks. Relaxing and calm with a very comfortable interior, it is a wonderful place to unwind from city life.
What makes this property unique
We are close to the water’s edge of Penn Cove. It gives you a close up view of the bird and sea-life that inhabit this beautiful cove.
