Sunny Side Island Retreat by AvantStay | Backyard

Embrace a Whidbey-style paradise at this family and pet-friendly gem on the island's sunny side. Whether it's tranquility, teleworking, or hosting a close-knit group, Sunny Side Island Retreat has you covered.

Relish the spectacular mountain and sea vistas from two decks while you fire up the gas grill. Gather around the fire pit under starlit skies or cozy by the wood-burning fireplace indoors. A fenced backyard invites pups and little adventurers to play freely.

You'll be a mere five minutes from Frank Robinson Beach and Double Bluff Beach and near Downtown Freeland, where you'll find plenty of amenities. Venture a tad further to reach Langley's seaside allure or hop over to the Clinton ferry.

With two distinct floors, your whole group can enjoy plenty of privacy. Ascend to the top floor to find a full kitchen, a living room, two bedrooms (a king-bed primary room and a queen-bed haven), and two bathrooms. Descend to the lower level with its own entrance, a kitchenette, a fold-out queen, and a workspace. You'll also find a bedroom with a queen bed and a bathroom. Each living space has its own Smart TV.

Seamless connectivity is woven into your stay with Comcast Internet and a Wi-Fi mesh network. Kid-friendly essentials like high chairs and toddler toys are at the ready. Croquet and board games await spirited matches.

Let the island's embrace captivate you just as it has us. Sunny Side Retreat beckons – your island story starts here!

And when it's time for adventure, outdoor enthusiasts can embark on adventures from Deception Pass to Ebey'sEbey's Landing.

Comfortable family friendly home
We had a long weekend on Whidbey Island and it was lovely. The house is very comfortable, especially the memory foam beds. Clean and spacious. We really appreciated the kids toys and kids dishes/ high chair etc. The house is located on a safe dead end nice street and very close to the Double Bluff beach

Beautiful Home
We lost a family member recently so we needed a place to stay while we made arrangements and secured his home. This home was perfect! Such a beautiful view and equipped with everything. Plenty of space for everyone and we loved seeing the deer in the yard. We will definitely book again when the weather is better.

Pretty View
This is an adorable place to stay—pretty view of the water from the front deck, interior is newly remodeled and very clean, with several nice amenities, including a high chair and play pen we used for our grandson. It was very hot (given the heat wave that weekend), but they provided fans for us and we are happy to know they are installing air conditioning soon, so that will be a plus for future guests!
