About the host
Hosted by Elisabeth Root
We live in West Seattle with our 2 children and have been coming to this same Greenbank beach, at a different house, since I was a young child. This is such a special beach and location right in the "Heart Center of Whidbey" and we love that we now have the opportunity to share it through this beach house!
Why they chose this property
Greenbank is a perfect central location for those who like to get around and explore the island and offers a private and very quiet beach, especially in the off seasons. I love that we can walk to the Farm in less than 10 minutes for the huge dog park, food, shops or wooded hikes.
What makes this property unique
The house itself is so solid and spacious. The property is unique with its private wooded yard on one side and open access to the beach and big views on the other. Its dedicated retreat room meets right where the woods meet the water views and is great for one person or a small group to drop in for a sensory reset.
