About this property

Whidbey Island Mid-Century Modern Waterfront Escape - JAW DROPPING VIEWS!!

A lovingly restored classic Mid-century Modern Waterfront home. The nearly 270 degree westside view spans Mt. Rainier, downtown Seattle, the Olympics, Port Townsend, and the San Juan islands. Sitting on nearly an acre with privacy so difficult to find, this home features a circular driveway, full length deck, master suite with its own private deck, a chef's kitchen with high end appliances, and close proximity to all that Whidbey Island has to offer.

Our place feels like it's a world away, yet it's only a short 90 minute jaunt from Seattle. Located in the Olympic rain shadow, our winter days are warmer / dryer and summer days are cooler than Seattle.

The house has been a labor of love for our family as we have been carefully restoring / preserving it to its original 1960s mid-century modern vintage complete with modern finishes / creature comforts - all with a focus on reuse and sustainability.

Take in the views from the full size deck that extends the length of the house and is equipped with HAY Palissade deck chairs, a Solo Stove fire pit, a Sonos Move, alfresco dining setup, and a Pawleys Island cotton rope hammock - all capped by a spectacular PNW native Madrona tree.

The great room is replete with carefully curated mid century modern touches, a fully stocked chef's kitchen with high end appliances, a Nespresso machine, board games, a deep sectional couch, an Apple TV, a Sonos audio setup, amazon Alexas, and smart lighting controlled via the provided iPad.

The spa-like master bedroom ensuite has a medium firm foam mattress king size bed, Pendleton throws, a wall of closets, soft linen sheets, and opens to its own private deck. The Master Bedroom now has a brand new, METICULOUSLY REMODELED bathroom with a vanity, and DUAL SHOWERS. Be one of the first to experience it!

Be one of the first to experience the RECENTLY REMODELED second bathroom. Deep water tub, dual floating vanity, Hansgrohe fixtures all interspersed with subway and hex tile.

The second bathroom has a deep water tub, dual floating vanity, Hansgrohe fixtures all interspersed with subway and hex tile.

The green spaces on three sides of the property are perfect for bocce ball, frisbee, kicking a soccer ball around, badminton, or for using the outdoor ping pong table. Need a bigger playground - walk down the street to take steps to the beach.

Tesla (or other EV) owner? Our place has a Level 2 EV Charger for you to plug in.

We've obsessed over all the details! Wanderlust has taken us to over 25 different countries across 5 continents. We have stayed in hundreds of hotels, airbnbs, guests houses - and have drawn inspiration from all of them in getting our place ready for all of you to experience.

Very Enjoyable Stay

The home has amazing views of the water, the mountains and receives daily visits from a group of bald eagles. It is in a good location to take advantage of the many hikes and beach walks the island offers. Overall a very positive and enjoyable stay. No issues or concerns to report and the hosts were available and responsive to our questions.

Amazing Long Weekend

A gem of a spot. Gorgeous view, modern yet cozy house, quiet, clean and just perfect for our long weekend getaway. Had a few quick questions and hosts were quick to respond and helpful. Small gift on arrival and the morning lattes with the N'espresso machine were the added cherries on top. Hope to be back!

Views for Days!

This was our second stay at this beautiful property and once again, we were sad to leave! The house is beautiful, spacious and well-appointed. We appreciate all of the tech that the owners have incorporated. The location is perfect - it's on a dead-end street, so there is little to no traffic and the views from the deck cannot be beat. I could (and do) stare out at that water all day long! The hosts are great to work with too. If I had one suggestion, it would be to put screens on the windows/sliding door so that guests could take advantage of the ocean breezes and fresh air. Thank you so much - we can't wait to come back!

Beach house

House worked very well, but a little rough around the edges. Also, for the price it seem like we shouldn’t have to do any preparation upon leaving. The equipment didn’t work such as the Floor heater in the master bathroom.

Beautiful Puget Sound Views

The owner was very responsive to few questions we had and was helpful. The house is situated in a quiet neighbor hood with spectacular views of the Sound and the Olympics with a wonderful deck to sit and watch the ships go by and the lovely sunsets. The bathrooms and kitchen are updated with beautiful finishes. The master bedroom is large and the other bedrooms had plenty of room. The house is in a convenient location to beaches, to public gardens, grocery stores and Langley. It was easy to get on the highway and spend a day in Deception Pass. This is our first stay in this property but our third stay on Whidbey Island.

Lovely home with incredible views

This home is situated in a nice and quiet neighborhood. Whidbey Island is small enough that everything (i.e. tourist destinations, grocery stores, coffee shops, and good restaurants) was a quick drive from the house. The house was very clean; the views from the kitchen windows, living room, and deck were out of this world. The solo stove on the deck allowed us to hang out there even when it was a little chilly. Hosts were kind and very responsive to text messages. We really appreciate their thoughtful renovations to this gem of a house. The only thing that didn't hit a "10" was that the bed was extra firm (in our opinion) but that would not stop us from coming back here. Truly beautiful.

Amazing view and thoughtful touches!

This is a great vacation home on Whidbey Island. The view is stunning and we spent a lot of time on the huge deck watching ships and weather come and go. You have a beautiful view of the Olympics and Seattle and Mt. Rainier as well. We saw every type of ship including a submarine! The location is perfect for accessing different parts of the island including Langley, Coupeville, Ebeys Landing, Fort Casey and even Deception Pass is an easy drive. The beach which you access via a short walk and down new wood and metal steps is beautiful, wild and very private. The walk down the beach to Mutiny Bay and then up to the farm stand at Foxtail Farms is fun and we bought beautiful produce there often. The owners have included lots of thoughtful touches that helped make our stay nice including Nespresso pods, wine, caramels, San Pellegrino and Fuji waters. The beds, pillows, sheets and duvets are all new and very comfortable. We went as a family of two adults and two teenagers. We had plenty of space and it was great for each teen to have their own room. There was lots of space on the sectional for all four of us to watch family movies at night and a new flat screen TV. There is a hammock and a swing outside which adults and teenagers loved using. Also I really appreciated that our dog was a welcome guest as well. The only improvement I’d recommend to the owners is to update the bathrooms at some point, especially the showers. Also there were missing screens in the master bedroom which let in a lot of bugs. It’s nice on the island to keep doors and windows open to feel the sea breeze. Adding screens would help. I recommend this property for the beautiful view and thoughtful touches as well as a great location on Whidbey.

Get away heaven

The house and the view are amazing! Could sit on the deck all day long and watch the ships go by or look for whales, wildlife. It is nestled in a small community and you have a feeling of being away from all the stress. Well stocked kitchen with everything you need to make your own meals and coffee. Things that match. Wonderfully remodeled bathrooms - this house was a dream. Communication was easy and everything was set up for us to use. The little details made a difference! Celebrated my birthday and could not have asked for a better location and house. We will be back!

Whimsy on Whidbey

We love this house! We spent our 3rd visit to this wonderful home with our family of 4 adults, our 2 kids and our dog. The house is stocked for a week with a family! Tons of games, great tech options, ping pong table, and corn hole kept the kids busy. The hosts create a great space for cooking in as a family with the kitchen really well appointed. The house is cozy for sunny days and for cool nights. We enjoyed the solo stove for a fire at dusk with some delicious wine from the island. The house is centrally located on the island and close to great places to site see such as the Meerkirk Garden's, Langley, Greenbank Farms, and Dancing Fish Winery. Freeland has everything you need close at hand. The hosts are gracious and wonderful communicators. Highly recommend this home!

About the host

Hosted by Naureen & Shehryar

Host profile image
We have lived in Seattle for the past 25 years. Naureen has a background in real estate and Shehryar works with tech startups. We left no stone unturned in our search for a second home and landed on the west side of Whidbey Island as the perfect destination to escape the hustle and bustle of city life with our 12 and 14 year old sons and a Labradoodle. Wanderlust has taken us to over 25 different countries across 5 continents. We have stayed in hundreds of hotels, pensions, and B&B’s and have drawn inspiration from all of them for this property.

Why they chose this property

Our place is located in the Windmill Heights neighborhood on the west side of Whidbey Island, on the north end of Mutiny Bay, which (along with Useless Bay) is widely considered to be one of the best beaches on the Island. The neighborhood comprises of 30 homes of which 14, like ours, are on the water. Centrally located on South Whidbey, the town of Freeland is an 8 minute drive, Langley 20 minutes, Greenbank 15 minutes, Coupeville 25 minutes, the Clinton Ferry Terminal 20 minutes, and Coupeville Ferry Terminal 25 minutes.

What makes this property unique

We love the views, access to the beach, the artsy community of South Whidbey Island, great restaurants, and the dryer weather (as compared to Seattle).
