Magical Fourth of July
Restorative, magical, special
Beautiful and Comfortable Family Home
The Strawbridge Farm House was a wonderful property for our 3 generation family long weekend. Our ages ranged from 71 to 5 months, and there was plenty of room for all of us. The home was very comfortably furnished, and all the beds were also comfortable. The house has literally everything you would need to prepare meals, enjoy the fire pit, play on the expansive lawn, walk your dogs (and clean up after them), all while enjoying a stellar view of Saratoga passage. A bonus for me as a musician: playing the upright piano with my grandchildren! All in all, we had a great time--the house was perfectly clean, the linens were so nice, and Charlie was an excellent communicator who very quickly answered any questions we had prior to arrival. I am thankful for such cherished family time in a beautiful family home in a spacious and very peaceful farm setting. I hope we can return in the future to again enjoy Strawbridge Farm.
Short Father's Day Stay
The home and property were beautiful. Charlie was incredibly informative. It was one of the coziest properties we have stayed at and really had everything we needed. The kids really enjoyed browsing the various drawers of toys.
Wonderful home with awesome views
The house was great for our couples trip! We especially enjoyed hanging out on the porch and using the fire pit. The huge yard was also perfect for our dog!
A Dream!
This property and location is a complete dream. Amazing house and location to Langley. It was perfect to bring the family as well. We will definitely be back!

About Charlie Tomberg
In 2004, the Tomberg family bought Strawbridge Farm and renamed it 'Marty's Place at Strawbridge Farm' in honor of their father, Martin William Tomberg. They undertook a complete remodeling and upgrading of the house, but even after the modifications, Marty's Place retains much of its original rustic sensabilities. In 2005, Strawbridge Farm once again opened to guests as it was in the past. The walls of this house have been blessed with almost 100 years of laughter. Please help us build another 100 years with yours. Who's Marty of Marty's place? Martin William Tomberg was our father. Born in New York in June of 1926, an avid Yankee fan and entrepreneur, he devoted his life to his family. Sitting in his well worn recliner, reading the New York Times with the din of Sunday morning political commentary in the background, our father created a home full of love and memories. He was also an extraordinarily generous man who gave without expectation of receiving. His generosity continues today with the gift of this property to his family. Our dad could spend hours sitting on a bench enjoying a beautiful view and we hope that you enjoy sharing in his generosity as you gaze over the bluff out to the Saratoga Passage and the beauty of the surrounding area.

Why Charlie Tomberg chose Langley
Marty's Place is a five bedroom plus vacation rental home with room for a few people or your entire family. Our guests enjoy the privacy of our 4.5 acres overlooking the water, but we are just a short walk to Langley, a pretty village by the sea. Come stay with us to get away from it all but with all of the amenities and shops you need just a walk away.
What makes this House unique
Marty's Place can accommodate up to fourteen people, which is more than most of the other vacation rental homes on Whidbey Island. Few other places can match our stunning views or the quiet tranquility of our unique setting. We also provide a Level 2 EV charger for our guests to use.
