Whidbey Island Beachfront -Luxury on a Sandy Beach

Description from the owner

"Views from every level are amazing and the master bedroom reminded me of the Salish Lodge but bigger and much, much better views! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!" One of the most spectacular properties on Puget Sound, this spacious, contemporary home is sited on 155 feet of sugar sand beach; no-bank waterfront facing west/southwest. The 1.5 acre compound also include a main house, two additional cottages, hot tub, private 40 foot swimming pool, apple orchard, beautiful gardens, large lawn perfect for croquet, volleyball, badminton, or baseball, and covered beach shelter with fire pit.

Build castles on the beautiful sandy beach. Cast f...or salmon from the shore. Cook an outdoor feast in the beachfront barbecue pit, toast the sunset, and celebrate with your friends at the beach shelter and fire pit, right on the beach. A 10 minute stroll to the south are the towering firs and old growth hiking trails of South Whidbey State Park.

The Beachfront House and Cabins provide 4200 square feet of luxury space and extensive decking and patios. A major remodel by Seattle architect Bruce Stock and Associates was recently completed with interior styling by designer Lisa Wise. Amazing beach, water, and mountain views are framed from every room. Our two largest bedrooms each include king beds. A third contains a queen bed and twin bunk beds. A fourth contains a twin with trundle bed and opens directly into bedroom three, great for a family arrangement. The fifth bedroom is steps away in its own private cabin. The lower beach cabin provides the 6th bedroom wtih its Westin Heavenly Bed. A huge open plan kitchen offers granite countertops, teak trestle dining set seating 12, and every appliance and utensil we could think of. You'll find oak and cork floors, antique Persian carpets, cedar clad cathedral ceilings, three cozy gas fireplaces, entertainment size deck with outdoor speakers, and an cozy atrium room. Bedrooms Five and Six offer queen beds in their own adjacent cabins. The cabins are also furnished exquisitely, with fine linens and cozy bedding, including a Westin Heavenly Bed in the Beach Cabin. Each cabin has its own bathroom, as well as satellite TV service, phone/intercom, and of course a coffee-maker.

Amenities include a Hotspring hot tub with ozonator, HDTV upstairs with DVD and Satellite service, 46 inch widescreen HDTV downstairs with XBOX and Kinect stystem and DVD, multi-room stereo with huge CD collection, stainless steel barbeque, teak outdoor furniture, game table, fully stocked gourmet kitchen with all new appliances, double laundry, and a wide selection of games and books.

Watch cruise ships and freighters ply Admiralty Inlet as the sun sets behind the Olympic Mountains. View sunsets from either your deck, or walk down the concrete path to a beach of stunning natural beauty. A concrete path winds down the hillside (35 steps) to a huge lawn with the sandy beach just beyond. Very private. A beach shelter covers a picnic table next to a barbecue pit, right on the beach. Our private heated 40 foot pool is a lovely option in the summertime. There are many toys and games for younger children and a highchair available for babies. Come visit us on beautiful Whidbey Island!

Perfectly Sited on Whidbey Island;s Gold Coast

Our property is sited just north of Bush Point near South Whidbey State Park. There are only a few beachfront homes in our enclave. Most of the shoreline for a mile either direction is in its natural state. Whidbey Island's west side real estate is the most highly valued on South Whidbey, with coveted Olympic Mountain, Puget Sound and shipping lane views, sandy beaches, and sunsets. Our particular location just north of the beautiful but densely developed Mutiny Bay area is even better. Recent upgrades have made Whidbey Beachfront House and Cabins the premier vacation rental on Puget Sound- a romantic retreat for couples, or bring the extended family- we accommodate to 14 and are kid-friendly. Enjoy a world-class luxury retreat away from it all, yet just 90 minutes from Seattle!Read more

  Perfect spot for our family reunion!

  Left on 05/15/2012 for a stay in May 2012
  
  

  We spent a perfect long weekend here, celebrating my mother-in-law's 79th birthday (it was supposed to have been a surprise 80th birthday celebration but somehow the math got mixed up...long story!). We rented the entire property and it proved to be absolutely the best choice we could have made. There was more than enough room for our group of 12 (5 couples and 2 adult children). We enjoyed wonderful breakfasts and dinners (two dishwashers -- yes!), grilling salmon (bought at the farmer's market) one night. Everything we needed was there -- truly this was the best stocked rental I've ever stayed in. And the pictures are accurate -- the views are spectacular, the property is super quiet and private, the furnishings all lovely and comfortable. I've already recommended the property to friends and maybe we'll just have to return next year for the real 80th birthday!

  Scenic getaway home on Whidbey Island

  Left on 04/23/2012 for a stay in April 2012
  
  

  Beautiful place for a short weekend getaway. Incredible views of the mountains. The home offers great amenities - two cabins, beachfront access, a hot tub, fire pit, fantastic, steam shower, huge kitchen, and patio area for grilling. The layout of the house is great for larger groups because you never feel too crowded. The home is centrally located to all the major attractions of Whidbey Island. The owners were very great to work with: responsive in dealing with payment, answered all of my questions, and even accommodated a late checkout for our group. Highly recommended.

  Delightful Family Compound with Private Beach

  Left on 07/25/2011 for a stay in July 2011
  
  

  Our extended family enjoyed a delightful vacation at this charming and wonderful property. Nestled in a visually stunning and secluded area, with direct access to a private beach, the property is aboslutely perfect for family gatherings. The Main House has three private bedrooms, and the cottage on the beach is an adorable stand-alone housing unit (there is also a cute one-bedroom cabin on the grounds). The Main House has a sensational deck, and a very functional kitchen (along with other lovely spaces). While we didn't do any cooking in the kitchen, it provided a great space for family meals. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our privacy on the beach, and nightly marshmallow roasting at the perfectly situated fire-pit (which accommodates large groups).
  
  The house is well appointed and well stocked with the standard necessities. We were also pleased about the standard of cleanliness.
  
  This property is a Whidbey Island gem, very much a treasure. We have vacationed at other high-end properties on the Island, and feel that this property is quite exceptional in its many attributes. We look forward to staying there in the future.

  We had it all!

  Left on 06/14/2010 for a stay in May 2010
  
  

  Breathtaking location, and thoughtful, comfortable, inviting, unique accommodations. It was great to be able to walk down the beach to the state park, listen to the morning bird songs, make a fire at the beach, and have 5 people comfortably cooking in the kitchen at the same time to produce glorious shared meals on the deck with 180 degree views. It is an especially good deal in the off-season, although you won't have use of the pool until the heart of summer.

  The stay is never long enough!

  Left on 05/25/2010 for a stay in May 2010
  
  

  This is our family's second stay and both times have provided a fun time for everyone. There are excellent accomodations; plenty of room for everyone to sleep and a variety of activities without getting back into your car. The main house provides the opportunity for togetherness and with the two additional "cabins", there is plenty of privacy. The view and deck areas are spectacular. The drive way is a little challenging so once we are there, we are there! And if we could all have that kitchen transported to our own homes - wow!

  Could not have been better!

  Left on 05/20/2010 for a stay in May 2010
  
  

  We recently stayed at the Whidbey beach house and could not have been happier with the experience! The home was very well-kept and the views and access to the beach were amazing! My favorite parts of the stay were watching a nuclear submarine being escorted to Bangor as we soaked in the sun and played bacci ball on the grass next to the beach. Views from every level are amazing and the master bedroom reminded me of the Salish Lodge but bigger and much, much better views! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!
