Peaceful and Restorative Getaway

We loved staying at this waterfront property with a beautiful view. Everything was well appointed, clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed beautiful walks on the beach and the proximity to great restaurants in Langley. An evening on the deck with the fire table on and drink in hand is not to be missed!

Wonderful home in a beautiful location

We had a group of 4 women staying for a weekend getaway. The home was large and had everything we needed. We loved sitting on the covered deck watching the sunset, drinking wine by the fire. We enjoyed visiting nearby Langley. Lots of shops and lunch at the public house was great. The down stairs living room with the cozy fireplace was perfect for movie watching when it was rainy. Everything was perfect for a relaxing weekend with friends.

Cozy and quiet

I was supposed to have a girls weekend here and my friend had to cancel last minute. It ended up being the perfect place to recharge, read, relax, and enjoy the outdoors! My friend that lives locally came over and we spent the day out on the deck catching up and enjoying the neighborhood. The kitchen had everything I needed. Shower had great water pressure and the bed was super comfortable. Would love to return!

wonderful home to visit in a great location

The home was even better in person than the pictures. It was comfortable with a great kitchen for preparing family meals. With 3 separate living areas (counting upper deck) we could accommodate children and adults in flexible configurations. The eagles, herons, and deer were there every day. The bird feeder attracted such a wide variety of birds and even a chipmunk. The garden was beautiful and serene. We truly enjoyed our special weekend to celebrate my 76th birthday with my children and grandchildren.

Great place to stay!

Wonderful home with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which was just the perfect size for my family gathering. Not much of a looker from the outside, but the home has been recently renovated inside. Upstairs has large kitchen with huge island, dining and living areas, master bedroom and bath, huge deck, and a nice view of an inlet, local marina, and mountains on a clear day. Downstairs has a living area, two bedrooms, bathroom, and laundry room, which is perfect if you have family or kids who want to hang out by themselves. I especially liked having larger beds in all three bedrooms to accommodate more adults (hard to find!). I would highly recommend this lovely home to anyone looking for a place to stay on this beautiful island.

Peaceful

The family was on the island for a wedding and we loved staying here together! All 5 adults thought the mattresses were fantastic (including the bunk and futon)! We spent almost anytime we were home on the amazing deck looking over the canal. Tide changes made it even more interesting. Different wildlife depending on tide. The bald eagles were morning birds. Many birds, bunnies and deer right outside on the property. Loved the bird feeder on the property. Well stocked with items you might need. We all would love to stay again if another opportunity comes up!

Great place to stay if you love nature and have a family

I loved this house. It's clean, large enough to fit a family of 5 and we could have probably even had an extra couple or grandparent in there. Katie, the owner, was super helpful with suggestions on places to go and places to eat. She was very easy to get a hold of and very responsive. If you love nature, this is the place for you. We saw a baby deer in the yard and all over the neighborhood, two bald eagles live right above the house, two seals directly across the bay, tons of herons and other cool birds. They even supplied the binoculars! The town is close to the ferry and the drive to the rest of the island is easy with plenty of cool little towns to stop in along the way. I would highly recommend staying here and we plan on going back again as soon as we can. You can't go wrong here.

Bird watching best site

Katie was very friendly prior to us staying there, which I appreciated and it set a nice tone. The house was nice, the upper area having kitchen and dining area with a wall of windows that look out onto the small bay and bird sanctuary. We cooked here a lot and the kitchen is well stocked!! We have small children who loved the games and babies who loved the pack n play. We mostly hung outside on the deck with a lovely fireplace and watched birds come and go. It was a nice little getaway and I would stay here again.

Great place!

The area we stayed in was great! The views from the upper deck were awesome! We saw the resident eagle and mate a few times, and the deer came around often. At night we heard a great-horned owl. The house itself was comfy. The fireplace downstairs definitely heated the house quickly. The beds were comfy, and the kitchen had all we needed. The island itself was fun to explore. We had a great week!!

Wonderful weekend getaway

We really enjoyed this Vrbo and hope to return again soon (my daughter begged me for her birthday weekend but it’s already booked!). Lots of games for kids, comfortable beds, beautiful view and neighborhood walking distance to a rocky beach with a ton of seashells. Easy, fast trip from Mukilteo ferry. Most importantly to me, a clean and welcoming kitchen! Most vrbos have been too gross/poorly equipped to cook and I meticulously prepare meals before arriving. I was so thrilled with the kitchen I even made brownies! Luckily the weather held up, but there were tons of movies if we needed them! We managed a 3 day weekend at this home with 3 kids and no screen time! The only negative is the area itself is quite rural so definitely bring your groceries/food. There’s an expensive but indulgent bagel store in town, that’s about it. It was an hour drive to deception pass, then another half hour to the tulip festival so we drove that way on our last day and took the long way home. We’ve never stayed in the same Vrbo twice (and this has become a lifestyle for us since Covid and flying with 3 kids is so expensive..) but this property will hopefully be the exception if we can find another availability!

About the host

Hosted by Katie Simmons

Host profile image
We are a family of five from Seattle who plan to retire to this home in a few years. We are renting it out while two of our three children attend college.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with privacy of the house, the walkable community, the view from the deck and looked no further. Our family loves to kayak, hike and bike ride although we find ourselves sitting on the deck watching the ever-changing view.
Whidbey Island offers endless ways to explore and relax.

What makes this property unique

The home is very private. It is on the edge of the Sandy Hook community. We have lovely neighbors to the south who live there year round.
