At the Water's Edge! Fantastic Beach, Amazing Views, a Spacious Retreat!
- Minimum stay:N/A
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:Yes
Spend hours beach combing on the shores of Admiralty Bay or gazing out at the Olympic Mountains and Keystone ferry making it's run across the Sound. Fly kites and explore the big guns at nearby Fort Casey or hop a ferry to the historic town of Port Townsend for dining or shopping. Beach comb and bird watch, scuba dive and scour the horizon for submarines and cruise ships. Did we mention the spa day option in Coupeville? All this is possible from our beach home situated at water's edge and surrounded by a 1600+ acre wildlife preserve, the largest in the Pacific NorthWest. Our home is adjacent to a State owned preserve and feels very private. We are located on Whidbey's Scenic Isle Way 90 minutes from Seattle (including ferry from Mukilteo) and minutes from cute and historic Coupeville.
Our kid friendly, no smoking two-bedroom, two-and-one-half bath home (2359sqft) is perfectly suited for two couples or a family. The two large, bedroom suites each feature a queen-size bed. The recreation room includes a new 46 inch flat screen, DVD, satellite TV, high speed internet and wifi throughout the house. The living room/dining room, kitchen covers the full width of the house and is completely windowed for maximum view.There is a murphy bed located in the dining room (which closes off with pocket doors),overlooking the water. The kitchen features everything a gourmet cook could want plus there is an outdoor beach barbecue (firepit) area. The house is heated with two gas fireplaces that will take the chill off any of those on shore breezes you may encounter.
An 800-square-foot deck just steps from the water and two enclosed patio areas give you plenty of room to sun, nap, read, or just 'be.' A second, fully-enclosed, court yard located outside one of the bedrooms for star gazing, bird watching, or just solitude and relaxation. Recent new bathroom addition (2012) and new carpet throughout (2013).
Listen to the birds as they flit about - you are in the middle of one of the largest bird sanctuaries in Washington State. Or go for a walk - there are miles of trails at Fort Casey and nearby Ebey's Landing. You could go into one of the historic towns on Whidbey Island - Coupeville, Greenbank, or Langley. Deception Pass State Park is just a short drive away - a site visitors come from far away to see. On occasion during the summer, the jet Prowler squadron based at Whidbey Naval Air Station practice touch and go up at the airstrip about a mile away. You can park at the end of that airstrip and watch them roar overhead or you can admire them from our deck. You will never lack for things to do - or not to do if you so please. You might even be lucky enough to have our resident bald eagle sit on the flagpole for your viewing enjoyment!

We enjoyed our stay in the beginning of April. The location is great, with Fort Casey and the ferry to Pt. Townsend within easy walking distance. Very quiet and amazing bird watching--nothing beats a juvenile eagle sitting on a pole in the front yard overlooking your patio and the beach! Perfect place for young children, and no issues with mobility, as the house is all on one floor. Plenty of room to spread out and a wonderful, fully fitted-out kitchen. Bathrooms were well stocked with towels and toiletries--a lovely vacation spot any time of year.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

My wife and I, along with another couple, rented this wonderful beach front home for a three day vacation. The photos contained within the website accurately depict the current conditions of the rental property. This rental has an incredible view of the bay, close beach access, 5 minute dive to Coupville/Fort Casey, and can easily access the Port Townsend ferry. The house if fully accommodated with the items needed for a relaxing stay. Our experience with the owner of the property was pleasant and they were quick to answer our questions, send us information about the area, and provide us with a smooth booking process. I would recommend this house to family and friends. My wife and I are keeping it in our "Roladex" to book it in future visits. We selected a fall weekend where the weather was perfect. Absolutely beautiful.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway.

From the booking process - through our stay - everything about this rental was terrific. The views from the house, of the water, are fantastic (even better than the photos). Nearly every morning, we were treated to eagles... Everything was clean - delightfully well stocked - and the property manager was extremely helpful and accommodating. We'll be back. Thanks for everything!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway.

This is a wonderful destination. The accommodations were clean, spacious, and well appointed with appropriate furniture for activity and for lounging. The kitchen and bathrooms were outstanding. We enjoyed watching the ships and the birds. Seeing an Eagle atop the American flag on the post next door was a highlight. Shopping on the Island was fun as was spending time on a nearby island accessible by ferry.Recommended for: Age 55+, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway.

Few people really have the opportunity to sit by the fireplace in a beautiful, spacious home while gazing out at a beach just feet from the window. We savored every day of peace and relaxation and felt we were a world away from the hustle and bustle of life, yet the house was just a short ferry ride away and then a bucolic drive in the country. The kitchen is wonderfully well-supplied and we enjoyed preparing our own meals while watching the marine vessels chug past. The ferry dock is just up the road and it was easy to walk on board for a trip across to Port Townsend and an afternoon of exploring shops. Bald eagles, dolphins, seals, salmon leaping out of the waves - we saw all of them. These idyllic days are going to be in our memories forever and we're so grateful for the time spent at "The Beach House!"Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Crockett Lake Bird Sanctuary View on map
Thousands of shorebirds (more than 17 different species) rely on the lake as an important migration staging area. The area provides critical wintering and nesting habitat for more than 13 species of ducks. At least nine species of raptors are regular visitors, including Peregrine Falcons and Merlins. And, more than 238 species of birds have been recorded in the Crockett Lake area. The lake also has an interesting history. Anticipation of the Great Northern Railway passing through Whidbey Island on its way to Port Townsend sent speculators into a frenzy platting the towns of “Chicago” and “Brooklyn” on the Keystone Spit to take advantage of the new commerce promised by the impending railroad in the late 1880s.

Fort Casey State Park View on map
Fort Casey is a 467 acre state park which was built in the 1890s as a strategic fortress to defend Pugest Sound. Explore the huge gun batteries and pillboxes or watch eagles and fly a kite on the bluff overlooking the ocean. Admiralty Inlet was considered so strategic to the defense of Puget Sound in the 1890s that three forts, Fort Casey on Whidbey Island, Fort Flagler on Marrowstone Island, and Fort Worden at Port Townsend, were built at the entrance with huge guns creating a "Triangle of Fire." This military strategy was built on the theory that the three fortresses would thwart any invasion attempt by sea. The Admiralty Head Lighthouse is located in the state park.

The most beautiful hike in the world View on map
Hike up the bluff at Ebey's Landing and walk along cliff trail overlooking the ocean. For the whole 4 mile loop follow the bluff to Perego Lake and come back along the beach. Grey whales have been sighted during migration season feeding right off shore here. Another option is to walk to Sunnyside cemetary overlooking famous Prarie Landing.
