Island Escape with Private Beach, Deck Views & Fenced Yard
Welcome to Moonlight Estate, your island escape on beautiful Whidbey Island.
Tucked away in Coupeville, just an hour from Seattle yet a world apart, this spacious four-bedroom home is the kind of place where you exhale the moment you walk through the door. Sunlight fills every room, the views stretch out over the water, and the pace of life slows to exactly where it should be.
Wake up in one of the most comfortable beds you'll find in any vacation rental, then take your morning coffee out to the upper deck for sweeping bay and mountain views. Stay long enough for sunset. Guests tell us it's the highlight of their trip.
Spend your days however you like. Hike the dramatic bluffs at Ebey's Landing, wander the charming streets of historic Coupeville, or sample the famous Penn Cove mussels at a local spot. Or skip all of that and walk down to the private beach instead. Back at the house, curl up with a book under the cozy reading lights, fire up the gas grill on the deck (May through September), or settle into the fully equipped kitchen to cook a meal together.
The open layout upstairs makes it easy for everyone to gather, while the downstairs living room and separate studio apartment give you plenty of room to spread out. The house sleeps six comfortably with a king bed, queen bed, and bunk bed for the kids, plus a sleeper sofa in the private studio.
Traveling with dogs? The large, fenced backyard is a favorite with four-legged guests. They'll love it as much as you do. We welcome up to two dogs.
Thoughtful touches throughout the house add to the warm, cozy vibe that keeps guests coming back. Check-in is a breeze with our keypad entry and clear instructions.
And if you're lucky, you might catch Navy fighter jets practicing overhead from nearby NAS Whidbey. It's a thrill the whole family will love.
Whether it's a peaceful long weekend, a family gathering, or a holiday getaway, Moonlight Estate delivers. Come see why guests keep returning.

About the host
Hosted by Dorothy Olson
We're Dorothy and Steve, Pacific Northwest natives who have called the Seattle area home our whole lives. Owning a place on Whidbey Island was always a dream of ours, and when we found this house in Coupeville, we knew it was the one. The views, the quiet, the feeling of being a world away while still close to the city. We couldn't keep it to ourselves.
We love hosting because we get to share that feeling with others. There's nothing better than hearing that a guest spent their evening watching the sunset from the deck or that their dogs had the time of their lives in the backyard. We put a lot of care into making the house feel like a real home, not just a rental, and we're always looking for ways to make the experience even better.
Why they chose this property
Coupeville is one of those places that feels like it stopped in time. It's one of the oldest towns in Washington, full of charm, with a historic waterfront, local shops, and restaurants serving up some of the best seafood in the Pacific Northwest. The Penn Cove mussels alone are worth the trip.
What sold us on this particular spot was the combination of peace and convenience. You're close enough to walk or drive into town for dinner, browse the farmers market, or grab a coffee, but back at the house it feels completely tucked away. The water views, the wildlife, the quiet mornings. It's the best of both worlds.
And being in the heart of Whidbey Island means you're never far from adventure. Ebey's Landing, Fort Casey, and Deception Pass are all a short drive away. Or you can just stay put, walk down to the private beach, and let the island come to you.
What makes this property unique
What really sets Moonlight Estate apart is that it's not just a place to sleep. It's a place that makes you slow down. Between the private beach access, the bay and mountain views from the deck, and the warm, cozy feel of the house itself, guests tell us it just hits different from other rentals.
The layout is another big part of it. The main house has an open, sunlit living area upstairs with a fully equipped kitchen and a deck built for long evenings, while the downstairs gives you a second living room and a separate studio apartment. It means families, couples, or groups of friends all have room to be together and room to be apart.
Add in the large fenced backyard for dogs, the keypad check-in, and the chance to catch Navy jets flying overhead, and you've got a stay that surprises people in the best way. There's a reason guests keep coming back.
