About this property

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

The Whidbey House is a luxurious 1,850 SF, three-bedroom, two-bath handicap-accessible vacation home. Located in Freeland’s upscale Holmes Harbor neighborhood, it is close 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.
Important amenities include high speed wifi, a high-definition Samsung smart TV, satellite TV, and an office area with PC and printer. 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.

Our home is designed for accessibility and safety for all guests, whether you're traveling with young children, managing mobility concerns, or simply appreciating an easy, step-free layout. Everything is on one level, with wide doorways and smooth, well-lit paths from your car to the entrance, including step-free access through both the kitchen and garage doors. Inside, you’ll find thoughtfully placed grab bars, comfort-height toilets, and, in the master bath, a walk-in shower. The tub-shower in the hall bath has added supports for safe entry and exit, which many parents find helpful when bathing kids.

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. Or just relax at the Whidbey House and enjoy the sunset from the porch or rear patio as you watch the deer graze in the yard.

The house is within walking distance of a community beach and the Holmes Harbor Golf Course. Downtown Freeland is only a 5-minute drive. Further afield, Langley is 15 minutes away, and Coupeville is just 20 minutes. Many breweries, wineries, and distilleries are found within 5 to 10 minutes. For example, the excellent Holmes Harbor Cellars is only 1.5 miles distant, making for an easy biking or walking. excursion. Driving only 1.8 miles would bring you to the upscale Gordon’s on Blueberry Hill, offering harbor views, pasta, steak, and seafood.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 June 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We believe this review may have been intended for a different property, as the reservation associated with this review was canceled approximately one month prior to the scheduled arrival date and no stay occurred at our home. For the benefit of future guests, we would like to clarify a couple of points. Our check-in instructions are sent through VRBO on three separate occasions: immediately after booking, approximately one week before arrival, and again on the day of arrival. These messages are delivered through the VRBO platform and typically generate both email and text notifications, depending on the guest's account settings. The information also remains available within the guest's VRBO account throughout the reservation period. We would also note that most guests find our Samsung Smart TV easy to operate. The home includes DirecTV service, providing access to a wide selection of popular channels without requiring any subscriptions, account setup, or credit card information. Because the television is a Smart TV, guests may also sign in to their personal streaming accounts, including Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney , Max, YouTube TV, and other supported services. Guests simply use their own credentials and sign out when their stay is complete. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify these points for future guests.

I have had many pleasant experiences with VRBO but the experience at Whidbey House was just about perfect. The hosts were helpful and responsive, the property is beautiful and we had everything we needed and much more. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to use and the water was always hot! As a bonus, we were visited daily by a family of deer. I cannot think of any element that is missing from this lively Whidbey Island vacation spot.

The Whidbey House is probably the best equipped rental I've stayed in. It was like being at home, where anything we needed was available, especially in the kitchen (although the knives could use a little sharpening). The home was immaculate, directions were clear, and communication with the owners was great. Temperatures were below 40 degrees during our visit, but the house had heating controls in every room, so it was never an issue to keep warm. They also let us park in the garage, so we didn't have to worry about scraping ice off the windshield. Great having a washer and dryer available, although we didn't need to use it. There were just two of us, but this house can easily accommodate more guests. It's tastefully decorated and I'd highly recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Anne and Rick Penny

Host profile image
Anne and I live in Everett, Washington, just a ferry ride away from the Whidbey House. I am a semi-retired college professor and Anne works for Edmonds College in student services. In our spare time we enjoy travel, camping, walking, and all types of paddle sports.

Why they chose this property

We chose the Whidbey House as our vacation home because it offers access to all the wonderful things that Whidbey Island has to offer. The location itself is private and tranquil, visited daily by deer and bunnies. But we can walk or bike to beaches, golf, wineries, and breweries. And we love visiting the quaint communities of Langley, Coupeville, and Anacortes to shop or dine out! Day outings by ferry to Port Townsend are also a favorite -- we walk on and walk off! And when we have guests staying at our house, we travel in our camper van, often staying at Deception Pass, Fort Casey, Fort Ebey, Fort Worden, or Fort Flagler.

What makes this property unique

We have been very sucessful in creating outdoor surroundings and interior decor that reflect the peaceful island vibe of Whidbey!
