Barranco by AvantStay | Stairway to Beach + Views

Want to escape to one of the most magical and secluded spots on Whidbey Island? Named after Lima’s charming Barranco neighborhood, this contemporary waterfront gem is ready to show your group an unforgettable experience. Perched high on a southwest-facing bank, with sweeping views of the Sound and Olympic Mountains, you’ll have easy access to the beach and South Whidbey State Park.

Outside, panoramic sunsets and a private stairway to the shore beckon – a 3-4 minute walk to 4+ miles of sandy walking beaches. Driftwood forts, campfires, salmon fishing, and old-growth forest hikes await. Lounge on the entertainment deck, warmed by the gas fire pit, gaze at eagles and whales, or take a soak in the hot tub as you take in the waterfront views.

Indoors, a chef’s kitchen leads to an open living space with a gas fireplace. Explore the detached unit with a recreation room featuring a pool table, foosball, ping pong, shuffleboard, air hockey, Pop-A-Shot Basketball, and a children’s corner. A guest loft offers even more space, making this a perfect choice for families and groups of friends.

Embrace the blend of nature and luxury. Escape to Barranco – where beauty, solitude, inspiration, and fun make for a one-of-a-kind group experience.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs.

Discover the allure of Whidbey Island, where tranquility meets captivating landscapes. Embraced by the Puget Sound, this paradise invites group travelers to unwind on sandy shores and explore nature's wonders. Quaint villages add to the island's charm, each with a unique character. And when it’s time for adventure, outdoor enthusiasts can embark on adventures from Deception Pass to Ebey's Landing.

Great for a family gathering!

We had a great time here celebrating my Mom’s 80th birthday. Each of 3 generations enjoyed the house for various reasons. The games room was a huge hit with all of us, as was the relaxing home and view, plus the fully stocked kitchen and entertainment options. The surrounding nature beautiful in any weather, and lots to explore in the area.

Private place to ourselves with plenty of beds and seating space. Easy check in, key used to lock/unlock, gorgeous view of the Sound with sunsets on clear days. Hot tub was delightful, gas fire pits worked great, and parking fit 3-4 cars but no more.

Beautiful Puget Sound Retreat

This is a lovely family home with all the necessary comforts in a stunning location. Beach access is for able bodied folks only, but once you get down there, it’s a very clean and private stretch of sand. The game room was a very big plus as well.

Had a great stay with successful fishing!!!

Stayed for a week with our family, we all had a great time. The house was in great shape and we were able to relax on the deck and enjoy some beach time as well. Sunsets were great and we were fortunate that Pink and Coho salmon were running during our time there. We ended up catching 23 total as a group just by shore casting. Would stay here again!

Insane view

Amazing time! The views were out of this world. Something to note is the game room with loft(queen bedroom and pullout) is very detached so we did not use it as much as we hoped. The stairs down to the beach are a bit sketchy- not great for older people. Hot tub was a bit on the green side/not the cleanest home we have stayed in. With all that being said, we would definitely stay here again just for the views. Close to lots of things to do as well-fort Casey, Clinton, blue fox drive in.

Beautiful water views

The property manager was very kind and easy to deal with. They allowed for us to have early check-in and late checkout because it was not booked on either end of our stay which was very lovely. And the property was well-maintained and had clear directions. The beds were very firm but ended up being comfortable. The water views are delicious and the hot tub is delightful. It’s a nice layout for a group stay.

50th Wedding Anniversary with Family

Was easy to find, and was a great location. It was a little smaller then it looked in pictures online. We had plenty of room though. The game room was so much fun for all of us, it rained, but did not dampen our spirits. Lots of beach time and hot tub time. It was a wonderful weekend.
