Spyglass Beach House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Stunningly situated on Whidbey Island's gorgeous Bush Point, this waterfront home provides breathtaking northwesterly views of Puget Sound, passing ships, incredible sunsets, and the peaks of the Olympic Mountains across the water. With 23 steps leading from the expansive deck down to 100 feet of private, sandy beach, this home is ideal for beachcombing, whale watching, birding (bald eagles are known to nest nearby), observing seals with their pups, flying kites, fishing, boating, and roaming the adjacent Smugglers Cove Beach. Inside, you'll be treated to such thoughtful updates as all-new towels and hypoallergenic bedding, gel-infused mattress toppers, dense sleeping pillows, new rugs, and all-new small appliances and Green Life healthy cookware, bakeware, and dishware. Outside, enjoy the large deck overlooking the water, a new gas grill, and a balcony off the primary suite.

During the high fishing season in August, you can throw a line directly from your beach, where salmon are known to often hug the shore (please note that the beach can become a bit busy at that time). If you're bringing your boat or kayaks, you'll love the convenient public boat launch just 100 feet away. South Whidbey State Park is only two miles north, featuring almost four miles of hiking trails that wind through an old-growth forest and along the shoreline. Downtown Freeland is five miles east, where you'll find delicious eateries, wineries, and local shops. There are nearby parks, including public gardens and leash-free dog beaches and trails, all within 10 miles of the home. Grab an amazing slice of pie and take a beautiful walk at Greenbank Farm seven miles north, and go back in time while exploring Fort Casey Historical State Park 15 miles north.

A very lovely property with outstanding views of Puget Sound and ships in the marine waterway. Plus wildlife. Seals, eagles etc. the place is very roomy for 6 people and very well maintained and cleaned with new appliances. The host has thought of everything from hot tub, gas fire pit on beautiful deck with stunning views. Comfy furniture indoors and out. Plus a rock painting station. Which was very fun after walking on the beach and picking up rocks. Had a great family get together. Would rent again.

Perfect beach house getaway!

This house is such a great place to relax, take in excellent views, and spend time with family on the beach! The owners really did a wonderful job, thinking of all the perfect touches to make for a comfortable stay (great kitchenware, extra blankets, board games and puzzles, rock painting station, cozy pillows and bedding). The hot tub and deck are fabulous! Short trip to the grocery store to get anything you need. This was our second stay and we’ve already booked again for next year. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to get away to the beach!

Spectacular

This was our 2nd visit here and it doesn’t disappoint. We came more prepared this time as the beach side yard is not fully fenced, so we brought temporary fencing which worked great, to keep our dogs safe. Super dog friendly home, with all the covers for protection of soft furnishings. The views can not be beaten, especially from the master bedroom! The kitchen is extremely well stocked and organized, everywhere is well decorated and designed. We will return again!

Beautiful home, beach not very private

This home is great in so many ways. The owners provide nearly everything you possibly could need or think of. The house looks professionally decorated. The beach is amazing, except everyone who lives there locally walks their dogs and visits. It's more private than a public beach but still pretty busy. Overall, I would stay there again but I think it's a bit overpriced.

Nice But Not Truly Private Beach

The house was nice, but the home is located next to public in which people can walk through property to the next beach. People did not obey the private property and used the beach anyways there was over 50 people using beach & it wasnoisy from sunrise to sunset fishing & just people using the beach. We could not enjoy the beach or use it during our stay 5 days trip. The property beach front is way to busy in the summer months if want use the beach or enjoy it!

Relaxing Vacation Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family came for a getaway over spring break and had a wonderful time. The home was clean, great updated interior and was exactly as described in the website. The only minor drawback was that the kitchen water pressure was pretty low. I'm not faulting the property for that, or downgrading my review, but it's nice to know going in. Kitchen seemed to have everything we needed. The view from the living room, kitchen and upstairs bedroom was amazing. Would recommend this property.

Perfect For Us

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My girlfriend and I, plus her dog, wanted a dog-friendly beach house well suited for the 3 of us. Spyglass was just perfect. It's a beautifully decorated, spacious yet cozy, house that felt like home as soon as we arrived. Lots of attention has been payed to all the details. We loved the large laundry room, the comfortable beds, and the dining area options. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. We were treated like honored guests by our neighbors. We made a careful search of VRBO (and other) options to find the best fit for us, our preferences, and needs. We found it in Spyglass and hope to stay there again next fall.

Lovely In Every Way!

We have stayed in many vacation homes over the past twenty years, and this home is without question our favorite. Our family has gathered here four times so far, and each time has been magic. Everything about this wonderful house is perfect, from the moment one walks through the door, "Welcome To Our Home" envelopes you, like a warm hug. Immediately you sense this cottage has been put together with a great deal of love. Every room, nook and cranny has been thoughtfully laid out, with no detail overlooked. You will have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Beginning with the kitchen which is well equipped with plenty of dishes, utensils, pots & pans, and good appliances. Your family can cook wonderful meals and enjoy them together at the large dinning table, while enjoying an amazing view of the Sound. The living room is comfortable with a large couch to stretch out on, and watch TV or just hang out. The owners have provided plenty of games to play, and a nice choice of books to read, so you will never be board here. The view is fabulous! From the dinning room, across the living room you can watch the Sound all day. There are giant cargo ships that go by several times a day, as well as tug boats, Naval ships, and a Ferry boat now and then. You never know just what you might see here, the beautiful Sound is always full of activity. This also includes an incredible verity of wildlife, which includes Bald Eagles, Seals, Herons, Otters, Whales, Geese, Gulls, and many others, we even spotted a Comeraunt which is very rare. The beds here are very comfortable, we slept wonderfully each night. There are plenty of blankets to keep you warm on those cold winter nights, and nice soft pillows too. The bedrooms are cozy to say the least, nicely decorated, and inviting. I must save the best for last however, and that is the Master Suite upstairs. It is like walking into a dream. There is a huge king sleigh bed surrounded by floor to ceiling windows. The room is ample with lots of room to move around. The truly wonderful feature is the absolutely fabulous view! We could never get enough of it. You can see all across the Sound with an uninhibited view of the water, the Lighthouse across the Channel, the surrounding landscape, and everything taking place out there. Waking up to that each morning, and seeing it each night as you drift off to sleep, is an experience you will never forget. So perhaps you can imagine why this home is so special, and why we love it as we do. I believe if your family visits here too, you will feel the same. One last thought; Whidbey Island has a lot of fun and interesting activities to check out during your visit. there are several great Wineries, a fun Meadery, and some funky cool shops to poke through. Also, wonderful parks and nature reserves, as well as great public beaches to enjoy. You cannot go wrong here.

Views abundant

Great stay on Freeland. Beautiful Sound views. The hot tub had some difficulty maintaining heat which affected our tub sessions. There was some pet hair from the previous renters which caused one of the people in our party to have allergies flare up, so a knock on cleanliness. Otherwise a wonderful VRBO.

This is the second time I have stayed here. Great well appointed home with attention to details. Clean, beautiful views, great deck! I honestly can’t think of a negative. The best thing about this house, in my opinion, is the beach. It’s a beautiful quiet beach to stroll on and just breathe.
