About this property

Custom Family Beach House - Pet & Child Friendly

Escape the grind on this piece of Whidbey Island paradise.

Spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains and sunsets over Puget Sound. Private beach with no-bank access and ample watersport and sandy beach fun. Custom built home is perfect for couples and families, with ample indoor and outdoor space to play or relax.

Maxwelton Beach is one of the largest west facing beaches (i.e. perfect for sunsets) on Whidbey Island with long sand flats, tidal pools and miles of beach combing, clamming and crabbing opportunities. Just south of the house you can walk for miles along undeveloped and protected beaches. Right in front is perfect for playing in the sand, making drift wood forts or launching your kayak, canoe or paddle board. Also excellent for spotting wildlife - from bald eagles, osprey, seals, otters and even the rare orca.

Inside the custom built home, the open floor plan lends itself to sweeping views from the kitchen, dining and living rooms. Custom woodwork and natural beach rock fireplace lends warmth while the large open kitchen is well stocked for every culinary pursuit. The living room boasts a large leather couch and rocking chairs, perfect for watching your favorite movie or simply enjoying a crackling fire. There is also a kiddie play area with play kitchen, loads of duplo legos and various other toys.

Three bedrooms provide sleeping space for 6 guests. Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom overlooking the beach has a king bed, walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. The room also acts as the perfect office, with a beautiful antique desk facing the beach. The peaceful downstairs bedroom has a queen while the addition bedroom upstairs is perfect for two children with a twin pull-out trundle bed. A separate bath is complete with tub & shower. The home also has free WiFi for guest use. Young families are very welcome; in addition to the multitude of children toys (including sand toys for the beach) and games, the house has a baby cot and high chair.

Outside, the large lawn area is great for ball games while the patio has a Webber propane grill, large outdoor tables with chairs, loungers and umbrellas. The back orchard has an abundance of apples & pears in late summer and autumn which guests are welcome to pick. Finally the beach, steps away has a fire pit, perfect for roasting marshmallows and making smorzes as you watch the sun slowly set over Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains beyond. Truly a slice of heaven for all the senses.

Amazing location and house

I’ve stayed in this house multiple times and it’s always great. The location can’t be best and the house is spacious, comfortable, and well designed from top to bottom. I can’t wait until I can return.

Comfy house and great location

We loved our stay at this comfy beach house. We especially enjoyed the excellent location in a peaceful community, the big private yard, and the easy access to a great beach. Our dog was in heaven!! The house is very roomy and had everything we needed. A big thank you to our hosts for sharing this beautiful property with us!

Great house in a beautiful location.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The house was as advertised; clean, spacious, comfortable, and accommodating. The master bedroom is large and the balcony makes it an ideal position to see the amazing sunsets. It is located at the southern end of Maxwelton Beach, which means there are times you have the entire beach to yourself. The outside seating was plentiful and the grill was clean and ready to use. We will definitely return.

Perfect Beach House

This property has a wonderful view, spacious living space, and an exceptional kitchen for preparing family meals! The furnishings are comfortable, very eclectic, and funky in an interesting way. There are games and lots of kid stuff, including a nice grassy side yard for play! We had a great time away with our family and love the beach!!!

Another great stay

This is our second stay in a few months. Love everything about the property. Super excited to see new plush carpet on the entire upstairs! Apparently, there will be hardwood downstairs soon. We love how you walk out to the beach in a few steps. Our dog loves the ocean so it's perfect for us. We will be back. To the person who complained about "rat poison". It's a black box that is hard to get into and under the porch completely out of the way. Your dog will be safe. :)

Wonderful rental. Definitely coming back.

This spacious, well-appointed home offers charming maritime decor, immediate beach access, and breathtaking views. The back deck and master bedroom balcony are both wonderful spots to enjoy a book and a bottle of wine while you take in the scenery. Our dog loved lounging in the back yard after a good long play in the ocean. And there's nothing quite like going to sleep to the sound of waves. We regularly saw deer and all manner of seabirds and other wildlife during our walks on the quiet, dead-end street. And the gentle slope of the shoreline presents an abundance of tide pools to explore -- we spotted starfish, sand dollars, crabs, and more. In terms of nearby amenities, there's not much in walking distance other than a playground up the street (which I'm sure we'd have gotten a lot of use out of had we brought kids). If you have a car, this house is very well situated, a short drive to groceries, restaurants, galleries, a great off-leash dog park (Double Bluff beach), etc. Take the speed limit seriously, though -- the speed bumps along the 5mph section approaching the house are in a bit of disrepair, and might knock your undercarriage a bit if you don't take them carefully. The property manager is helpful, accommodating, and very responsive to questions. And the house is extremely comfortable. Be sure to try the generously provided local coffee! We had a lovely time and look forward to visiting again.

Wow. What a home. We were able to work with the host for an earlier check in time, it was more beautiful than the pictures could show, it was an easy journey from SEA Intl. and we’ve never stayed at a more well-stocked home. There was everything you could need there, from the kitchen, to kids toys and books, to towels and beach toys, a stair gate for any crawling babies, vacuums, soaps and clean detergents, etc. Especially wonderful was how clean everything was without smelling like Fabuloso… I’m extremely sensitive to smell and it was both incredibly clean -and- entirely unscented. No Febreeze, no fabric softens, not plug-ins. Just *clean*!

We had another lovely stay at David’s beach house! This was our fourth stay and is becoming an annual tradition. The house has plenty of space, is well-appointed, has comfortable beds, right on the beach, and the views are amazing! We love enjoying all the beach has to offer including paddleboarding, exploring low tide, watching the ships go by, and having friends join us for a day at the beach. We already want to plan our trip back next summer! We only hope we can stay longer next time.

Perfect family getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay here. We appreciated that it was extremely family friendly — outdoor and indoor toys for the kids, highchair, and pack and play! It makes it easy to not have to pack these items. We loved that it was pet friendly too. The fire pit was great as we watched the beautiful sunset each night. David's communication from start to finish was wonderful. We'd love to come back sometime!

My Birthday at the Beach

Oh my! We had the most delightful time. I counted and we have stayed at 6 different vacation rentals on Whidbey Island and this one is the best! Clean, spacious, well equipped, and just steps to the beach. We enjoyed all the ships passing by, the many types of birds and long beach walks. We definitely hope to return.

Great Spot

Overall this house had everything we needed and we really enjoyed our stay. The view and beach are hard to beat. It would have been nice to have the lawn mowed and the wooden ramp to the beach is an injury waiting to happen…these were our only two minor suggestions to make it even better.

Great trip

The house was just as described. The house is well-equipped, clean, and worked nicely for our family. Lots of toys and games for the kids. The house is located right on the beach - you do have to climb over some driftwood to access it but it wasn’t a problem for us including our six year old and grandma. The main bedroom is very large with a beautiful view and private bath.
