A beutiful spot

If you are looking for a romantic getaway with spectacular views, this is the place. The home was well represented online and had all of the excellent touches to make your stay great. I had been planning this romantic getaway to propose to my girlfriend, and the sunsets here didn't disappoint!

Perfect Getaway!

My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary along with Christmas. We found this listing and were blown away. What an incredible location and the property itself was clean, modern, quiet and lacked nothing. It had all the amenities you’d want for a perfect relaxing getaway! We both look forward to staying again

Midwesterners in Awe!

My husband and I are from the Midwest, we were looking for a short getaway to a part of the country we had never seen. This place and Washington did not disappoint! The landscape of this area is breathtaking, so many beautiful sights to see and this location puts you in the middle of 3 different National Parks within a short scenic road trip. We chose to drive Hwy 20 to North Cascades and did some mild hiking along the route and rented a boat for the day. We also booked a whale watching trip in Anacortes. We ended each day trip back at this wonderful location, enjoyed the hot tub under the stars and woke up to beautiful ocean view. The planes going over just added to the charm of this place, they were really neat to see, and even though they flew in the evenings they never disturbed our sleep. Check in and out was easy and had detailed instructions on how to use the amenities. Hosts were wonderful and included some welcome gifts that were much appreciated. They really have taken the time and effort to make sure your stay is carefree, with a lot of little details. Would recommend this stay to anyone!

Perfect getaway for two

Beach, birds, driftwood, exactly as pictured. Hot tub was wonderful. We did not use the firepit but it looked inviting. Jets were an experience, but not outside of reasonable hours. Inside was nicely decorated and had everything we needed.

Quiet Get-Away

I rented this cabin for my spouse’s New Year’s Day birthday. The views are stunning! We had a very quiet weekend as the jets were not flying over the holiday. The cabin its self is very comfortable and clean. They had all the necessary amenities. We really enjoyed having a hot tub to watch the stars at night and listen to the waves. Would highly recommend staying here.

Hidden Gem

Luxury retreat off the beaten path. Well appointed. An exquisite gem perfect for a single person like me or a romantic getaway for a couple. Compact with every detail beautifully considered (and what a comfy bed!). If you are looking for a peaceful retreat, crashing waves and exceptional sunsets from the comfort of the deck with the added bonus of hearing Taps played every evening at sunset (such an unexpected treat from the naval base), this is the place. Novels could be written here. And the hot tub and fire pit! Perfection. Dean was attentive to all questions and always responded within moments. Loved my stay here on Whidbey Island.

Disappointed

The place looked amazing, however there was a strong disgusting smell that took over in waves. The owner didn’t address it. He also violated VRBO policies and ADA laws by not allowing my fully trained service dog on the property. I had my heart set on spending my elopement honeymoon here so I didn’t report him. I really loved the location of this property. The views were perfect and beach access is always nice, but I don’t think I would stay here again and I regret not looking for another place. It looks so nice in photos, but is really not worth it. It would’ve been nicer to camp at the park, but my disability prevents me from doing so.

About the host

Hosted by Dean & Suzanne Hayes

Host profile image
Our family resides just north of Whidbey Island in the beautiful Skagit Valley. We actually met each other on Whidbey Island, so it's always had a place in our hearts.

Why they chose this property

We've always had a dream of owning a beach house, but our criteria was very specific. It must be within 2 hours of our home, on the ocean, low-bank waterfront and facing west to see the sunsets. We always thought we'd buy such a place after our boys were through college, and we first found this beach while driving around Whidbey Island many years ago. Welcome to our first dream beach home - Moran Shores!

What makes this property unique

We love the fact that the beach is deep, wide and private. There's always tons of sand on the beach, yet it's always changing with the weather. Our guests also frequently comment on how well appointed our house is - from a fully stocked kitchen to plenty of towels for showering and the hot tub. We also love listening to the planes when they practice their take-offs and landings at the Navy base just to the south of us. If you don't like loud noises, this may not be the place for you. They don't always fly, and they don't tell us exactly when they will fly. They do publish general flight times for NAS Whidbey about a week in advance, and you can find that information at www.whidbeycamanoislands.com/jets-on-whidbey
