About this property

Whidbey House 3 BR 2 BA Porch & Patio: Walk to Golf & Beach Sleeps 6-7

The Whidbey House is a luxurious 1,800 SF, three-bedroom, two-bath handicap-accessible vacation home. Located in Freeland’s upscale Holmes Harbor neighborhood, it is just walking distance to the golf course, trails, and beach. Nestled against a large, forested tract, the Whidbey House feels like a quiet oasis. The backyard offers some of the best birding in Washington, and deer visit several times daily.

Whidbey House was built in a modern but comfortable Northwest bungalow style. The house is dominated by a luxurious great room that includes a fully equipped gourmet kitchen with granite counters, breakfast bar, and stainless appliances. High ceilings and big windows in all the rooms give the house a spacious feel.

Accommodations include three bedrooms and two baths. The five beds include a king in the luxury master suite and a queen in a second bedroom. The third bedroom has two twin bunkbeds and a twin sleeper chair. A Pack and Play portable crib is also provided. The king bed has a new, luxury Saatva mattress. The queen bed has a new pillowtop mattress.

The house is handicap-accessible with no steps for entry, wide doorways, and a walk-in shower. Adjacent to the house is a modest fenced area with a patio, outdoor table, gas grill, and gas firepit. In addition, a covered front porch on the first floor offers a great place to relax and watch the world go by. The house has a high efficiency heat pump system for air conditioning and heating. A two-car garage behind the Whidbey House is entered from a private driveway. There is plenty of parking for six cars or for a 40-foot RV. There is a 30-amp electrical hookup, making the Whidbey House a great destination for RV or van owners.

Located only 15 minutes north of the Clinton-Mukilteo ferry terminal, the Whidbey House is ideally located for a perfect vacation, taking advantage of everything South Whidbey has to offer. During the day enjoy the natural environment and stimulating outdoor pursuits for which Whidbey is famous, including golf (walking distance), beachcombing, whale watching, hiking, fishing, biking, boating, kayaking, canoeing, and motorcycling–just to name a few. Then in the evenings take in the breweries, wineries, distilleries, restaurants, and shopping that fill the region around the quaint communities of Freeland and Langley.

Lovely home

This is a beautiful and clean property. There were detailed instructions which we appreciated. This is a first rate property. It is by the golf course but the property is surrounded by trees so we didn’t see the course from the house. There are hiking trails close by as is the water but you do have a short drive to get to those activities. All in all a beautiful stay.

Beautiful property

We had an amazing stay. The house was beautiful and so clean! Check in was very smooth and easy. We loved the outdoor area and the firepit. We also loved the toys and things that our 2 year old enjoyed playing with. We only stayed 1 night and I wish it had been longer. The next trip we take to Whidbey, I am going to check this listing first. I highly recommend.

Perfect Home!

The Whidbey House was hands down the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. So much space, so clean & so homey. We traveled with small children and the amenities (pack n play, high chair, etc) at the house made traveling with less a breeze! We will definitely be booking again for future travel to Whidbey Island.
