On Whidbey Island's "Gold Coast" sits The Mutiny Bay Beach House (AKA "Mutiny Tides") with spectacular views, a sandy beach, your own boat moored within sight and a well-appointed home offering complete comfort for your vacation. "Mutiny Tides" offers every amenity to make your weekend or longer respite most relaxing and memorable.
Turn off the quiet, country road and meander down the orchard drive to discover a thoughtfully updated home nestled in perennial gardens that love the sea air. Walk the garden path to the front of the house and the breathtaking view of Mutiny Bay will make you ..simply..stop.
THE HOUSE
The home itself is a stunning home offering a luxurious, romantic sojourn for 2 or complete comfort for 8 vacationers. The soothing shoreline colors of the Great Room set the tone for your stay by the beach. The spaciousness is warmed by the stone fireplace and wood stove, nestled close to an ample supply of wood. The 8 foot wrap-around couches accomodate everyone for TV. DVDs, conversation or quiet evenings of music from the library of CDs and reading. The expansive maple flooring creates easy flow and pristine luxury. The children's closet supplies games for all and toys for little ones. The floor to ceiling 30 foot window wall keeps the Bay just a glance away, always revealing a new marine treasure.
Separated by a farmhouse table as well as bar seating for four, the well-stocked kitchen easily handles gourmet meals. You'll find staples, spices, all paper supplies and colorful Fiestaware. The pantry houses cookware and serving pieces to inspire and simplify every meal. The chef can enjoy the ever-changing water view along with the grill master on the deck.
The calming colors of the master bedroom/bath with a fireplace and flat screen TV suggest privacy and comfort. Luxury Egyptian cotton (600 thread count) linens enhance the master (king) as well as the second bedroom (queen) with its full bath across the hall.
The DSL equipped office and a 2nd TV room with a queen sleeper sofa couch lead to the 3rd bath. The 2nd floor bedroom sports bright beach colors and theme, two full sized beds and the childrens library. All decor gently alludes to life by the sea.
THE SETTING
The sweeping deck on the water side of "Mutiny Tides" offers lounges and the utlimate al fresco dining. Morning coffee partners with fog lifting, gradually revealing early fishing boats. The view is framed by a well-established perennial garden and lawn groomed for crochet and bocce ball. The firepit by the beach, ready for driftwood, offers a breathtaking starry view of the bay and the night lights from afar. The beach boasts endless miles for walking, running, or beachcombing the treasures left in tidepools and on sandy shores. Night time exploring with flashlights for sea creatures coming alive is an exciting event.
Abundant marine and wildlife will entertain you through the window wall, on the deck or as you relax on the beach. Discover fishing boats, cargo ships, and evening cruise ships framed by sunsets that lure even long time Mutiny Bay homeowners outside with their cameras. Common wildlife of Bald Eagles, seagulls, orcas, sea otters and seals, rabbits, deer and owls co-exist here. After just one day, the curiously hypnotic feeling of ownership will change ones perspective.
THE ISLAND
Explore the charming towns of Langely and Coupeville, reminiscent of old coastal towns the world over. Enjoy Freeland's small town comfort, the island's myriad shorelines, sustainable island farms and markets and wineries. Enjoy the enticing variety of biking or hiking opportunities, from The Earth Sanctuary to old growth forests. Meander Fort Casey and learn how it protected the entrance to Puget sound in the 1800's. Take a short ferry ride to the famous old town of Port Townsend and Hurricane Ridge on the Olympic Penisula. And then come back home to "Mutiny Tides", a glass of wine and another beautiful sunset.
Even the off-season offers astonishingly sunny days that compete with entertaining winter storms. Relax, sunbathe, comb the beach..a stay at Mutiny tides will become a treasured addition to your own story.

Map & Owner's Profile
Stunning Mutiny Bay Beach House-Sandy Beach, Sunsets & Moorage
Year Purchased: 1999
Why the Owner Chose Mutiny Bay
Having lived in Washington State all our lives and spending summer vacations on Whidbey Island and the San Juan Islands, we knew we wanted a place there to retire someday. Our first cabin on Whidbey didn't offer enough room for our needs in retirement.
The Unique Benefits at this Waterfront Home
The peacefulness, the ever-changing sunsets and Olympic Mts, the fabulous sandy beach, the bay activity and the wild life. The quiet "country feel" and slower pace of the island. The fact that we can have sunshine when the rest of Seattle is raining.
Owner's Map of Mutiny Bay
We've raised 5 children and hope to retire to where we have our childhood memories of Whidbey Island. We both spent many vacations here before we even knew each other. We love the quiet and the wonderful climate, and all that there is to do here. We also love how convenient it is to Seattle when we want to be in town. Our grandkids love coming to the Island. The climate is always better than Seattle because we are in "the Banana belt".
