About this property

At the Water's Edge! Fantastic Beach & Amazing Views!

Our kid friendly, dog friendly, accessible, no smoking, two-bedroom (sleeps 8), two-and-one-half bath home (2359sqft) is perfectly suited for two couples or a family. The eight hundred square foot deck and firepit (rebuilt in 2025) are very close to the water at high tide in Admiralty Bay (no bank). The two large bedroom suites each feature a queen-size bed, and there are two additional queen wall beds in the TV & dining room (closes off with pocket doors for privacy) if needed. Two full baths (both with walk in shower & bench) and half bath allow for everyone to have privacy. Single level home is accessible for older or guests with limited mobility (or in wheelchair). There is one step into the home, and we have a ramp for the two interior steps. Please inquire with questions. There is high speed WIFI through the house (powered by T-Mobile 5G) and the recreation room includes a smart 46 inch flat screen TV (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu included). The living room/dining room and kitchen covers the full width of the house on the ocean side and is completely windowed for maximum ocean views. The fully stocked kitchen features everything a gourmet cook could want plus there is an outdoor beach barbecue (firepit) area and charcoal BBQ. The house is heated with ductless heating and cooling systems plus two gas fireplaces that are guaranteed to take the chill off any of those on shore breezes you may encounter. There is not access to a hot tub. All linens, towels and paper products are provided, and there is an extensive library with games and DVDs to enjoy as well. There are two enclosed patio side yards which is handy for your canine companions when they aren't running on the beach or swimming. Well trained dogs (2 max) are allowed in the house as well, but not on the furniture!

Fun things to do on the property and nearby: Spend hours beach combing on the shores of Admiralty Bay or gazing out at the view of the Olympic Mountains and Keystone ferry making it's run across the Sound. Fly kites and explore the big guns at nearby Fort Casey State Park or hop a ferry to the historic town of Port Townsend for dining or shopping. Bike ride around Crockett Lake and tour historical farms. Fish directly from our beach and bird watch in the adjacent state bird preserve. Hike the bluff trail above the ocean in nearby Ebey's Federal Reserve. Drop crab pots or go clamming. Scuba dive at the state underwater park just down the beach and scour the horizon for submarines and cruise ships. Zip into nearby historic Coupeville (a 8 minute drive or 25 minute bike ride) for dinner and shopping.

All this is possible from our beach home situated at water's edge and surrounded by a 1600+ acre wildlife preserve, the largest in the Pacific Northwest. Our home is adjacent to a state owned preserve and feels very private. We are located on Whidbey's Scenic Isle Way 90 minutes from Seattle (including ferry from Mukilteo) and minutes from cute and historic Coupeville. Deception Pass State Park is just a short drive away - a site visitors come from far away to see. You might even be lucky enough to have our resident bald eagle pair sit on the flagpole for your viewing enjoyment.

Off and on throughout the year when the squadron is not deployed, the Navy Growler jets based at Whidbey Naval Air Station practice touch and go landings up at the airstrip about a mile away and they will circle over the house. You can park at the end of that airstrip and watch them roar overhead (a la SeaFair) or you can admire them from our deck. But please know that when they fly, it is loud. Please inquire if you have questions about this before you book.

Ask us for our information sheet of local points of interest and recommendations. If you'd like to read even more reviews from previous guests, ask us and we'd be happy to send them to you.

We loved it! Great spot near the ferry, Fort Casey and Coupeville. The view of the Sound was gorgeous. The beach has so many cool rocks. Lots of games to play and books to read. Also pet friendly with a fenced area. We would love to come back.

The house was clean, extremely well appointed with lots of extras. The location was great - near lots of fun activities. Most of all was the stunning views of the water, mountains and wildlife. Being so close to the water with a fire in the fire pit was idyllic.

The setting was heavenly right at the edge of the water. It was excellent for dogs with a private beach and two enclosed yards. The house had everything you could want. We enjoyed roasting hotdogs on the outdoor fireplace right on the beach. Everything about this place rocked. Except NO HANDRAILS on the deck steps and no beach chairs for the firepit. Will come here again.

Everything from check in to check out was amazing! We were greeted by the property manager who showed us around and answered questions. The place was clean and comfortable! We appreciated all the trading materials and suggestions on what to do. The views were amazing and it was fun to fish from the house as well as watch the fishermen down the beach. It was quiet and secluded, but not very far to the store or hiking.Bedrooms were large and beds were comfortable! The kitchen had everything we needed and was well equipped even tho we bbq’d outdoors every night!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of the island! We loved it!!

Relaxing Beach Stay

We loved our relaxing stay at this wonderful house. Everything was clean, cozy and well stocked. We loved sitting on the deck and enjoying all of the sea life, birds, ferries and the beautiful scenery. Coupeville is a cute town which we enjoyed exploring. We look forward to returning very soon!

Wonderful Beach Home

Stayed 5 nights. Very clean and comfortable home! So much to see and do in the area - kayaking, fishing, golf, bird watching and just watching the ship traffic in front of the majestic Olympic mountain range. Keystone/Ebeys preserve is a special place.

A very special place

The owners clearly care deeply for their home and it shows in the comfort, décor and well stocked kitchen. It has the best reading material of any place I've ever stayed including local information. The location right on the beach is superb and the proximity to so much beauty worth experiencing. This is beyond a five-star place to stay.

What a great stay with the most spectacular view. Would highly recommend! We were lucky enough to see a pod of Orcas, spent most of our time outside on the deck and beach, even in mid October!

Love this house!

We had a great time at your cozy beach house. The views and beach are spectacular. We would love to stay at this house again in the future. The only problem is the lack of Internet or wifi! Other than that a perfect beach trip with our dogs!

Orcas and Herons and Eagles Oh My

We loved this relaxing beach home with sweeping views of the bay. Cooking in the very well appointmented kitchen and sitting out on the huge deck with binoculars were the highlight of our trip. In fact we decided to spend the whole last day just at home, enjoying the fabulous house and getting a final incredible wedge salad from Callen's just up the road.

Family weekend trip away from Seattle

Great house for one family or two that want a clean, comfortable house and amazing views of the water. Easy access to Coupeville and Ebeys Landing, and walkable to Fort Casey State Park. All the right touches to make it easy to stay in and space for everyone to enjoy time together, or kids to have their time and parents to have theirs. Would definitely book again!

Wonderful stay!

My 2 friends and I came for our yearly getaway and we had a wonderful time! The cabin is beautiful, functional, and comfortable, with all the details seen to. The coffee, tea, snacks were so nice to have available, as well as the streaming services. The surrounding area was lovely to walk in, and the cabin felt secure and safe at night. We loved seeing the deer and other creatures walk by, and enjoyed the forest view from the huge windows.

Beautiful and quiet with every comfort and nearby activities!!

Two long-time friends and I enjoyed our stay right on Admiralty Bay! The home was lovely and accurately depicted on the website! We appreciated the privacy of 2.5 bathrooms and the big, well-stocked kitchen. The entire wall of very clean windows afforded an ever-dynamic view of the bay and sky. We had a visit from the resident eagle and the great blue heron was a tireless fisherman! Nearby activities we loved were hikes at Fort Casey and Ebey’s Landing! Owner Stacy was prompt to communicate and sent a great list of personal recommendations for activities and restaurants. Caretaker Betty was friendly and available to answer our questions. Overall, a great stay on beautiful Whidbey Island!
