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

Our kid friendly, dog friendly, accessible, no smoking two-bedroom, two-and-one-half bath home (2359sqft) is perfectly suited for two couples or a family. Our place is right on the water. The 800 square foot deck and firepit are very close to the water at high tide in Admiralty Bay. The two large, bedroom suites each feature a queen-size bed. Two full baths (both with walk in shower & bench) and half bath allow for everyone to have privacy. There is free high speed WIFI through the house and the recreation room includes a 46 inch flat screen, Blu-ray DVD & satellite TV. 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. There is a third queen bed (wall system) located in the dining room (which closes off with pocket doors) overlooking the water. The 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 two newly installed 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 and towels are provided, 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. Dog 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.

Access to the beach is right out the door! It was pleasant and relaxing to just sit and watch the ferries come and go. There is plenty of space for a family and the kitchen is stocked nicely. I would definitely stay here again.

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.

Girls Weekend for my 50th
If you are looking for a quiet place at the beach for you and a small group or family I highly recommend this lovely beach house. Beautiful views, beachfront access, comfy beds, and a well stocked kitchen made it hard to leave after two nights. My favorite thing was the big comfy couch that was perfect for lengthy chats with my girlfriends. Don't be surprised by the presence of mosquitoes or the sulfur smell of the tap water. We just kept doors and windows shut and used the bottled water provided. The caretaker was very responsive and helpful. It was a wonderful location to celebrate my 50th birthday. I can't wait to visit again.

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.

A truly gorgeous spot!
From the very beginning every aspect of this booking was delightful and easy. The property owner was so friendly and responsive. The manager met us at the house and gave us a tour along with lots of helpful information. The home itself is beautiful! The location, right on the water is superb with a full view of the Port Townsend Ferry as well as the Tankers and Cruise Ships coming into and out of the channel. The house is extremely well furnished and we especially enjoyed the 5 gallon water dispenser. I just can’t say enough about this fabulous home and we can’t wait to return!

Beautiful View, Right on Beach
My husband and I, two teens, a tween and a pup stayed here for a week in August. It was a lovely home. Perfect size for our family of five. The views from the living room would spectacular. We saw all kinds of wildlife and enjoyed watching the ferry come and go. Stacy was very responsive to questions and their caretaker Betty was communicative and checked in with us during the week. The kitchen and house were well stocked with everything we needed. We would highly recommend staying here.

Rented this so we would have a place to stay close to Crockett Farms for our daughter's wedding. It is spacious with nice big kitchen I used to plating all the desserts I had to bring. There is two big bedrooms, both with private bathrooms providing alot of privacy if staying with other people. There are two areas that are fenced in which is great if you have to bring the dogs along. Right on the water so can't beat the view.

The perfect home for relaxing on the waterfront and all it has to offer: mairine mammals; bay birds; mountain views; ferry traffic to enjoy; close to recreational opportunities but equally content to stay home, walk the beach with pups, cook in the completely well stocked kitchen, room for all, driftwood fires for smores, coyote serenade one night, accurately described and loved our stay.

Just what we needed
As the title of our review says, this was just what we needed! This beach house was welcoming, comfortable (beds and furniture were very comfy), spacious for our group (3 adults, 2 kids, and 1 dog), dog friendly, thoughtfully stocked, and a great location! It really did check so many boxes for us. Being in Coupeville, we were centrally located to the rest of the island and found this to be an excellent location, and being right on the beach was just glorious…. We loved all the games and puzzles- my kids did a puzzle a day in the front room over looking the incredible view! And we loved the cd player and cd selection- it really added to our stay experience! We also enjoyed the fire-pit where we made s'mores nightly while taking in the view…. So many great memories made on this vacation at this place! And communication with the owner was great with quick, kind, and helpful replies. We can’t say enough great things about this place, it really was ideal for our family and it being dog friendly was so appreciated, too! They even provided dog towels- so thoughtful!

We enjoyed our three-day stay at this spacious and comfortable home. The gas fireplace kept us cozy and warm and the home had everything we needed. The neighborhood is very quiet and we enjoyed having the beach to ourselves and watching the Port Townsend ferry come and go. Rock hunting is great here and we loved the Bluff hike at Fort Ebey State Park. A big thank you to the hosts for sharing their home with us and our dog. We had a great time.
