About the host
Hosted by Bobbi Moore Cleary
We are Bobbi & Pete, years-long vacation rental hosts who live in coastal Alaska. The Pacific Northwest is a special place to us, a unique region with many overlapping qualities with Alaska. We last hosted in gorgeous Northern Idaho but Whidbey Island became an appealing destination rooted in its Pacific waters, maritime culture, and friendly locals. Furthermore, its enchanting conifer forests and temperate climate sealed the deal on our vision to relocate our love of hosting to Washington's shores. Bobbi works as a behavioral health therapist while Pete enjoys various projects and hobbies in his retirement as a fisheries biologist. Two young daughters and our black lab keep us most busy and "on our toes".
Why they chose this property
There are many appealing corners of Whidbey Island, but Coupeville stood out to us the most - though Langley was a close second! While the film "Practical Magic" cinematically shows off the area's charm, the combination of delicious seafood, small town culture, and stunning landscapes provides *practically magic* allure!
One of our favorite aspects of hosting is being able to carve out time to visit beloved places as a family. As much as we like hosting, we equally like being guests and exploring different regions. The best short-term rentals are those where you feel at home, relax, and melt weary traveler stress upon entry. With that in mind, may the Shearwater House smile upon you as you soak in the magic of restorative respite.

What makes this property unique
The appeal of this house on 0.3 acre is its quiet cul-de-sac location, ancient conifer trees that envelop the neighborhood, and its convenient proximity to downtown Coupeville. It features an en-suite master bedroom with direct patio access and a separate double twin-bed with business desk alcove bedroom - and second bathroom. Modern laundry appliances, a well-appointed kitchen, Wi-Fi, and carport are added qualities to make your R&R experience memorable.
