Waterfront Beach Cabin on Whidbey Island

SandyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We’ve stayed here many times over the years- this location is perfect if you have dogs who love the beach! The nearby state park is never too busy and just a few steps out the door. Sunset viewing is stunning from the back deck, and of course, stargazing at night. The bedrooms are comfortable with dog beds and everything. The kitchen is well equipped to cook full meals for two every night of our stay. There’s also a Safeway close by in case you forgot something! We had a wonderful stay, as always.

Beachfront Escape on Whidbey Island

GarethRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Fantastic, extremely comfortable and wonderful home directly on the beachfront. Very comfortable beds which is always a huge plus and a fully equipped kitchen and outside grill. We were hoping to see whales and we were not disappointed - watching the Gray Whales feeding just off the deck was a real treat, not forgetting of course the ducks, seals and eagles adding all into the mix of what made a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. If we come back, can we pre-order some otters too?

Serene Waterfront Beach Cottage

Kacey BowenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Ok first instructions given on how to get there were perfect. We arrived after dark and the road in is wooded (beautifully so) but it felt tricky until I pulled up the instructions Brian provided. *chefs kiss* Next, the cabin itself is AMAZING. Right on the water gorgeous views. We were blessed with some sunny clear days. We saw so much wildlife, with two young boys it was a hit. Everything was clean and comfortable. Well water by the ocean makes sense that it has a bit of a smell. We brought a Britta filter and it was perfect. Saw a full herd of fur seals (15) swim by, bald eagle, deer, star fish, crabs, etc. I would love to come back next year. Super memorable trip!

WhidbeyBeachHouse oceanfront getaway 3BR·2BA·fubo

LawrenceRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Beautiful beachfront home on Puget Sound with fantastic views of the water and wildlife. We saw whales, a seal and lots of waterfowl through the front windows. A bald eagle sailed by within 15 feet. We spent a lot of time looking out the front windows and on the front terrace at the water's edge. The house is beautiful and well equipped for family time. The main room including kitchen, dining room and living room has a wall of windows looking out on Puget Sound, 15 feet away. We enjoyed great meals at local restaurants. The home is fairly handicap accessible. I have a form of muscular dystrophy and have difficulty with steps and getting up from a seated position. There are a few steps to get into the house, but there are railings and the height of each step is short. There are two comfortable living room chairs with higher than normal seat height. There is a master bedroom and full bath on the main floor. The first floor was very usable for someone with limited leg strength.

I was hesitant to spend so much. It was not only worth it it was memorable and smelled so good. The tides the sound of the waves laping. Good folks with a slice of heaven on their doorstep.

Tranquil Lake Front Cabin

MarcRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Spent 10 nights as a solo writing retreat (with my wife joining me on the weekend). Perfect for this even in mid-November. Super livable small home, south-facing right on the lake, two lakeside wall almost all windows, so daylight was beautiful. Thought it might be cold inside in November but the house is snug; heats up nicely and there are no drafts. Brad and Lisa are excellent hosts: quick to respond, helpful and friendly. It’s abundantly clear how much they love the place. Lots of small but nice touches. And then there’s the lake. We stayed here in warm weather before and enjoyed swimming, paddle boarding and rowing. But even in cold weather the lake is a treat. Ducks, loons, sunrise sparkles, evening sunsets. I have only good things to say.

Lakefront Cabin with Water View & Hot Tub

AndresRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Nice clean and private. The area was nice and quiet but had restaurants and shopping near by. It had great amenities, including several outdoor fire pits. The hot tub was very enjoyable after a day of walking and sight seeing. I would definitely recommend this spot.

JenniferRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful vacation rental on Whidbey Island! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the home’s charm, cleanliness, and stunning surroundings. The house is beautifully designed, well-maintained, and equipped with everything needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The attention to detail in both decor and amenities made it feel like a true retreat. One of the highlights was the peaceful setting enjoying morning coffee on the deck and the views were spectacular. The location was perfect for exploring the island, with easy access to hiking trails, local shops, and scenic beaches. The hosts were incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed and promptly answering any questions. Their hospitality made the experience even better. Overall, this rental exceeded our expectations, and we can’t recommend it highly enough.

Water View, Near Lighthouse, Beaches & Hiking

LarryRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was our second visit to Joanna's home in Hansville. We have good friends who lived nearby, so it was easy to spend time with our buddies, yet retire back at the rental to relax and recover until the next adventure with our friends. This Hansville neighborhood is noticely quiet, peaceful and on walks just about everyone waves hello. We had a glitch with the operation of the clothes washer, but a call to Joanna quickly solved the problem to everyone's satisfaction. We expect to return again.

Pet Friendly Mutiny Bay Cottage - beach access!

SheenaRating, 5 stars2 days ago
this cottage is by far the best airbnb ive ever stayed in. it has everything needed for an amazing weekend. the fenced backyard was perfect for morning fetch sessions with my dog, the fully stocked kitchen and bathroom had everything i needed, and the hot tub was amazing after adventuring around with my pup. & the location is great! mutiny bay beach is just steps away & was amazing for some off leash beach time with my dog. it’s also a great “launching pad” for activities around the island (e.g., double bluff beach, langley, saratoga/putney woods, coupeville, etc.). also, the “little” touches left a big impression. Susan had the woodstove fire going for us when we arrived, making the place feel warm & cozy since we visited in early spring when it was still cold outside. & the fresh eggs from their chickens they left for us were amazing. they also left a card & treats for my pup since it was her birthday :). i can’t recommend this place enough & im excited for my next stay here!

Harbor Hideaway Waterfront Home

RosalieRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We enjoyed a week at John's gorgeous home and property. There were 7 of us, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house is very well appointed - we couldn't think of anything it was missing. The grounds were stunning. There were so many seating areas, decks and patios, along with multiple fire pits, each stocked with plenty of firewood. Lots of stairs to descend to the beach deck, but the staircase is solidly built with resting platforms along the way as needed! For those with more limited mobility, you can drive the golf card down the little road leading to the beach deck. We also used the golf card to transport our paddle boards to the lower beach deck where we stored them for the week. We enjoyed the daily visits from the sweet deer family who came to enjoy the peaceful, lush grounds. Also want to mention that the hot tub is great -- it's huge and was crystal clean. It was a fabulous stay and we would highly recommend John's property.

Perfect place for a family getaway. Plenty of toys, games, books and activities to help pass the time when weather isn't cooperating; kitchen and bathroom well-stocked; ample blankets and cozy places to cuddle up; great location for walking to private beach and quick drive to local eateries and parks. Mitzi was a responsive and thoughtful host, and the info she provided went above and beyond. We look forward to coming back when the weather warms to make use of the hot tub, kayaks and more time to enjoy the beaches!

Your guide to Whidbey Island

Welcome to Whidbey Island

This seahorse-shaped island in Puget Sound forms an idyllic sanctuary 35 miles northwest of Seattle. Nature features prominently here with six state parks, including Washington’s most-visited one, Deception Pass. Explore the pass’s cliffs and coves, as well as its iconic bridge soaring 18 stories above a current-swept saltwater channel prized by divers and kayakers. Hikes and beach walks abound across Whidbey Island, along with wildlife viewing (common critters include bald eagles, river otters, and Steller sea lions).

Cultural attractions are a big pull here, too. For great dining, head to Langley in the south, and Coupeville and Oak Harbor to the north; don’t miss the local mussels and Kumamoto oysters. Meanwhile art buffs can tour murals, galleries, studios, and two sculpture parks. With its mellow, artsy vibe, Whidbey Island makes for a dreamy getaway that’s still close to Washington’s biggest city.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Whidbey Island

Damp air rolls off the Pacific Ocean, creating lush coastal rainforests in this part of Washington. But clouds then swerve around part of Puget Sound — a phenomenon locals call “the banana belt” for its drier, sunnier conditions. The top half of Whidbey Island benefits from this phenomenon, and the island has a temperate climate overall. Temperatures rarely range outside the high 30s to high 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Expect largely dry and comfy summers, and cooler, mistier winters.

Top events include April’s Deception Pass Marathon and July’s Whidbey Island Fair. August brings Wag’n’Walk, a celebration of all things canine, plus the Tour de Whidbey, with bike rides ranging from 10 to 162 miles. September’s also busy with a marathon, jazz celebration DjangoFest NW, and the Oak Harbor Music Festival.


Top things to do in Whidbey Island

Boeing Future of Flight

Immerse yourself in aviation history and innovations at this exhibition space, three miles south of the mainland’s Mukilteo ferry dock. Boeing Future of Flight includes a drone gallery and a mock-up of the lab that helped prepare the United States’ payloads for the International Space Station. The Sky Deck offers views of Paine Field Airport, an aviation factory that’s the world’s largest building by volume, and the snow-capped North Cascade Mountains.

Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve

Trace the area’s cultural and agricultural traditions in three stunning state parks located within Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve: Fort Casey, Fort Ebey, and Ebey’s Landing. Highlights from Fort Casey include the 1903 Admiralty Head Lighthouse, a point in the “Triangle of Fire” harbor defenses to ward off potential attacks during World War II. The 5.6-mile Ebey’s Landing hike is another standout. You’ll cross prairielands and old farming fields before emerging onto the coastal bluffs with their jaw-dropping views of the Cascades and Olympic Mountains.

Price Sculpture Forest

A more-than-a-century-old forest harbors an art space that opened in fall 2020 near downtown Coupeville. This free attraction encourages visitors to “wander in wonder” — as its signature cherrywood arch declares — discovering installations such as a steel eagle and a T. rex sculpted from bark. Need another meditative moment marrying art and nature? Try Earth Sanctuary, 20 miles to the south.
