5⭐ Highest rated on Whidbey (along with our second property, Sandpiper Haven).

Sunset Beach Haven, is a 2 bedroom, one bath beach cottage that can accommodate up to 4 people total (including children and infants). We make exceptions for 5 persons on a case-by-case basis, and with an additional fee.

Sunset Beach Haven, to coin one of our Guests, is "seriously waterfront" - you just can't get much closer than this to the beach and ocean. Any closer and, well, and you’d be on a boat. Located directly on famous West Beach in Oak Harbor and near Coupeville, Sunset Beach Haven greets each day with beautiful views of ships, seals, otters, and occasionally whales playing in the water, and of the snowy peaks of the Olympic Mountains rising in the distance across the waters, and of Admiralty Inlet with 180' plus views out to the sound and mountains. and another 180' views of Swanton Lake (yes, we have 360' views of the water). Breathtaking!

Read our over 300 combined 5⭐ reviews and this should help paint a picture of what we value most - YOU, our Guests, and making sure we create beautiful spaces that are well-supplied so you can create wonderful memories in an amazing setting. Already booked for the dates you want? Check out or other wonderful property, also waterfront - "Sandpiper Haven" (ID#395752).

More about Sunset Beach Haven: To the east, watch the sun rise over the Swantown Lake Wildlife Refuge. Every window has a view of the water (okay, not the bathroom), but the Living Room is west facing to capture the warmth of the afternoon sun on a large private deck in fair weather, or inspire romance watching storm-churned waves while comfortably seated inside.

Evenings can be spent curled up with a book on our high quality Macy's microfiber couch and oversized chair, or playing games and doing puzzles with friends and family, or watching a movie on the HDTV. New cable and Wifi (with two dedicated lines) have been added, along with a NEW ROKU and complimentary Netflix, HBO, and Amazon Prime. We also have a DVD player with modest library (you won't lack for something to watch besides the scenery, if that's what you'd like to do).

Grill on the deck in summertime, or wheel it out of the downstairs in the off-season if you'd like to grill, though our NEW kitchen has about all you need, and end the evening with a camp fire in our outdoor fire pit. (Wood is usually available.) And don't forget the SUNSETS - some of the most spectacular ones you could ever imagine. You may prefer an evening out with great dining options in Coupeville, Oak Harbor and beyond.

Enjoy our New Kitchen - all the state of the art things you know and love -stainless appliances, 3/4 dishwasher, quartz countertops, beautiful cabinets with soft-close and beautiful tile. All the comforts of home... and then some!

The house sleeps up to 4 people comfortably. (note kids and infants count as people :). Ask about a 5th person, we will consider with special mutual understanding, and an additional fee.

Even more info:

We have a pillow-top Queen Bed in the Master, and two NEW plush-top twins in the second bedroom and extra bedding and a foam joiner to make these a comfy king. Our Macy's queen sleeper sofa has an added foam topper, more comfortable than your average sleeper sofa. We also have a portable crib and high chair.

Action seekers may launch their own kayaks and paddle boards to test their skills on the exposed beaches of Whidbey Island's west shore, or make the 10 minute trip to launch in world famous Penn Cove for a calmer experience. Take the opportunity to explore the hiking at Ebey's Landing, and bike the trails of "The Kettles" exploring a landscape scoured by glaciers thousands of years ago. Or, simply stroll the beach for miles at low to mid-tide directly in front of the house. Joseph Whidbey State Park is just a short 10 minute stroll north by foot up the same beach.

The historic waterfront town of Coupeville, can be reached in about 15 minutes by car. Oak Harbor, to the east, is about 5-7 minutes away for major shopping amenities and restaurants. Deception Pass Bridge and State Park are about 15 minutes north. To the south lies Fort Ebey, Fort Casey, Ebey's Landing and the nearby Coupeville Ferry (departing from Keystone Harbor) with service to historic Port Townsend. Greenbank Winery, antiques shops, galleries, and the town of Langley are further afield.

Looking for an especially exciting stay - book during the wintertime and witness first hand the rugged coastline as winter storms sometimes roll in down the Strait of Juan de Fuca sending spray up the new bulkhead. Experience the "Like Living on a boat" firsthand. You will understand why our deck chairs are bungie tied to the deck!

Thank you! We appreciate your confidence in choosing our home for your vacation.

Note, although we allow for "instant book", we do contact all Guests after reservations and ask a few questions to make sure the fit is good. If we find out after the fact that some Groups are not a good fit for our property - bringing too many Guests, or pets or previous poor reviews, for example, we may need to cancel the reservation. On rare occasion we may have received a booking on a different listing site that has not updated to Home Away (usually synced several times a day). We try and resolve these issues promptly, within 24 hours of your booking, so any cancellations of your reservation if needed are only made in extreme circumstances. It is our home, after all, and we want to make sure it is a good fit for both parties. Thank you for your understanding.

Please note we have two external motion detection security cameras.

Apologies, we are not set up for EV Vehicle charging. Guests are not authorized to run electrical charging cables to our home for charging. We hope to add a charging station in the future. Thank you.

And also please note that we do not typically book more than 12 months out. If your booking is more than 12 months from now, kindly send an inquiry first to ensure you are getting the correct quote and rate. Thank you.
