Map & Owner's Profile
Harbor Hideaway Whidbey Island Waterfront Vacation Rental
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Freeland
We decided to start Harbor Hideaway because we missed our property so much. Now we can schedule our own time there and it is ready for our arrival. We love the opportunity to share our home and show-off the wonderful lifestyle we have created. Owning a vacation rental which is also your home gives us the perfect opportunity to invest time and money where we love. The perfect vacation for us is being back home, with friends and family, working on the latest property improvement. I think we will do a new boat house next.
The Unique Benefits at this House
My best time is getting up early, sitting on the porch with the morning brew in my hand. Watching the sun rise and the wild life starting their day. There is nothing more enjoyable than the peace and serenity as you view deer, raccoons, rabbits, eagles, seals and even the occasional whale. I have no doubts that I will be greeted in the morning, by one or more of the many animals nature has created. I will always see something to remind me why I love this property so much.
Owner's Map of Freeland
We purchased this property over 25 years ago; developed it ourselves and raised our children here. We built our new home in 1997, just before moving overseas. This property is so peaceful and relaxing. We have no better vacation destination than returning home to the property we love.

We stayed at Harbor Hideaway during the first week in December for a family birthday party. The home was in perfect condition, and the views were amazing! We enjoyed the large kitchen—it was great for cooking group meals and socializing with a view of the harbor. The hot tub was nice for the cool evenings, and we made use of the upper bonfire area. We’ll definitely be back again!
Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to provide this review. We were very happy with your group and look forward to seeing you again. John and Ria

My extended family stayed here while attending a wedding at Useless Bay Country Club. The property was exactly what we needed. Our group consisted of 7 adults and one toddler. The property is laid out so that there are bedrooms on all three floors. This ensured maximum privacy for everyone. We had one member of our group with mobility issues and she was able to use the bedroom on the main floor and never needed to go up or down any stairs during our stay. Each bedroom has its own dedicated bathroom so none of the couples had to share. There is a huge backyard which was perfect for letting our toddler run around and blow off steam. The property is waterfront, but it is a long climb down several sets of stairs to get to it. Our member with mobility issues was not able to make the hike but the rest of us would climb down and back at least once a day. There view into the bay from the house is beautiful and we saw eagles on two mornings. There are also several beaches, parks and hikes nearby that we visited that were all just a short drive away.
Owner response:Madeline, Thank you for your comments; they are greatly appreciated. We have taken great care to ensure that those who are physically impaired can also enjoy the comfort of our home. The property is medium bank waterfront with about 75 feet of elevation difference to the water. We are mindful of creating a pleasant experience as you traverse to and from the beach. The stairs are new with sitting decks at the top and along the way. We continue to add carefully chosen shrubs, trees and other plants, extending our gardens all the way down. Our guests particularly like going to the beach at night for a fire and to take in the quiet ambiance of Holmes Harbor. The dimly lit path gives the perfect amount of lighting to safely see your way from top to bottom, without disturbing the tranquil serenity of this beautiful Whidbey Island experience.

Harbor Hideaway was perfect for our group of eight. Location right on the water meant many hours relaxing and enjoying the view of water, birds, bunnies, and deer. Close to miles of hikes and days of sightseeing on Whidbey Island.
Owner response:Thank you G and K, We really appreciate your review and encourage all our guests to share their experience at Harbor Hideaway. John D.
