There is a 30-amp electrical hookup, making the Whidbey House a great destination for RV or van owners.

Everything is on one level, with wide doorways and smooth, well-lit paths from your car to the entrance, including step-free access through both the kitchen and garage doors. Inside, you’ll find thoughtfully placed grab bars, comfort-height toilets, and, in the master bath, a walk-in shower. The tub-shower in the hall bath has added supports for safe entry and exit, which many parents find helpful when bathing kids.

Could use sharper knives, but truly has everything you need. Best stocked VRBO I have ever stayed. Great communication with the hosts. We were blessed with beautiful weather as well. Enjoyed the wildlife.
We loved our stay here! It was a comfortable and enjoyable spot to stay between trips around Whidbey and close Japoinica which were the most excited about going to.
I have had many pleasant experiences with VRBO but the experience at Whidbey House was just about perfect. The hosts were helpful and responsive, the property is beautiful and we had everything we needed and much more. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to use and the water was always hot! As a bonus, we were visited daily by a family of deer. I cannot think of any element that is missing from this lively Whidbey Island vacation spot.
Everything was wonderful the house was very clean and had every amenity you could hope for.the owners were wonderful and answered any questions very quickly. We loved our stay

Enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable master bed, the kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. Host was happy to help when we needed it. Would definitely stay here again!
The Whidbey House is probably the best equipped rental I've stayed in. It was like being at home, where anything we needed was available, especially in the kitchen (although the knives could use a little sharpening). The home was immaculate, directions were clear, and communication with the owners was great. Temperatures were below 40 degrees during our visit, but the house had heating controls in every room, so it was never an issue to keep warm. They also let us park in the garage, so we didn't have to worry about scraping ice off the windshield. Great having a washer and dryer available, although we didn't need to use it. There were just two of us, but this house can easily accommodate more guests. It's tastefully decorated and I'd highly recommend this property!
The home was beautiful and comfortable. Everything we needed was in the kitchen and bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable as was the furniture in all rooms. I felt safe traveling with my grandchildren!!
Home is exactly as presented in photos. Kitchen has everything you could possibly need for any cooking desire. Comfy beds, very clean with quality furnishings and many extras. Owners were accommodating and accessible. Great starting point for enjoying this beautiful island!
We had a wonderful stay at the property. House was very clean and immediately felt like home. The location was beautiful and quiet. My two year old loved seeing the deer and rabbits that cruised by as well. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for a home away from home.
Spacious and well stocked accommodation. Comfortable beds, ample towels, and best of all, I did not detect any fragrance from cleaners or laundry products!
We stayed here for a family wedding and really enjoyed it! The house was exactly as described and had everything you need to enjoy the weekend.

Hosted by Anne and Rick Penny
Anne and I live in Everett, Washington, just a ferry ride away from the Whidbey House. I am a semi-retired college professor and Anne works for Edmonds College in student services. In our spare time we enjoy travel, camping, walking, and all types of paddle sports.
Why they chose this property
We chose the Whidbey House as our vacation home because it offers access to all the wonderful things that Whidbey Island has to offer. The location itself is private and tranquil, visited daily by deer and bunnies. But we can walk or bike to beaches, golf, wineries, and breweries. And we love visiting the quaint communities of Langley, Coupeville, and Anacortes to shop or dine out! Day outings by ferry to Port Townsend are also a favorite -- we walk on and walk off! And when we have guests staying at our house, we travel in our camper van, often staying at Deception Pass, Fort Casey, Fort Ebey, Fort Worden, or Fort Flagler.
What makes this property unique
We have been very sucessful in creating outdoor surroundings and interior decor that reflect the peaceful island vibe of Whidbey!
