Private Whidbey Island Waterfront Beach Cabin

We had a great week at Double Bluff! The location is awesome, very central to all the fun places to go! I give it 4 stars, because the stairs inside are a bit tricky for elderly grandparents that came along, and it was over fifty stairs up to the front door. For our multi-generational family vacation, it was less than perfect, but still very enjoyable! As long as Grandma and Grandpa are able to negotiate them, we will be back!

The weather could have been better but we enjoyed our stay. The children liked being so close to the beach. It wasn't warm enough to eat outside and there was no dining room table where we could all eat together but we managed.

After road tripping through the Olympic Peninsula, this was a great place to lay our heads for a couple of days. The home is updated with comfortable beds, nice furnishings, and a great kitchen. The views are as pictured -- there are no zoomed photos, the beach is right there!

The bunk room gave our teens a space of their own to relax and wifi it up while the adults each had bedrooms. Its a great place for a group to stay. The location is close to the grocery and right on the beach.

While we were there a few remodeling "to-dos" that had not been completed by contractors. I was told of this in advance by the owner and had no problem with missing paint on a couple of walls inside/out.

During our stay there the windows had no coverings. Not sure if this is due to the remodeling but with sunset happening later in PNW I was happy to have packed my sleep mask.

There is an interior spiral staircase to the dowstairs level (bunk room, bathroom #2, laundry and bedroom #2). If you have an elderly person or small child this could be a concern. And, there are 30+ steps to get the the front door on the exterior -- again, if elderly or small children this may be an issue. Not sure if there was a baby gate in the house to help corral small kiddos if needed.

The house is older and has a "beach house" smell to it but it fades into the background after a little while. We opened windows and enjoyed the cool air. My niece has asthma had no issues in the home.

If we are back in the area we would definitely stay here again and for longer. Its a great location and a good value.

Usually I am one of those people that park way down the road, schlep all my stuff way down the beach, and once I get situated, I look up and see a home on the cliffside and I think....Man, those people are so lucky to be staying there. This time I was "those people" and boy was it fun. The property is perfectly situated higher up than any Double Bluff beach house on the beach giving you fantastic views. Sunrises are down right spiritual as the skies turn the vibrant shades of reds and oranges and the magic doubles down as the colors reflect off the still morning Sound. The very long beach has an amazing low tide which enables you to walk way out looking for cool shells, rocks, and if your lucky, some beautiful and rare agates. The home inside is everything one needs. It's cozy, it's comfortable, and blessed me with a peaceful zen-like feel as its impossible to not enjoy the views from wherever you are. Within minutes of settling in I felt my shoulders lighten and easily left behind the stress of the day to day grind back at home. A perfectly spacious deck outside with these super comfortable and bendy patio chairs kept me outdoors most of the time allowing me to enjoy a number of books I always say I don't have time to read. A plethora of wildlife abounds. I saw so many birds including a woodpecker that seemed to pay me a visit at the same time daily and bald eagles filled the sky as if it were their version of a New York Traffic jam. I even saw and HEARD a group of whales swim by. I never realized you could hear them so clearly. I enjoyed being minutes from several coffee shops and a mouth watering bakery making some of the best darn cinnamon roles I have had in a long time. I accidentally found the farmers market minutes away and quickly lost time there as their booths were unique in the items they offered. Whidbey is such a long magical island and so fun to explore but at the end of the day, when its time to go out to dinner, its great being located a few minutes drive from a number of great dining options. I feel so blessed to have had the chance to stay there during the Memorial Day week. It now seems like it was one of those fantastic dreams you wake up from wishing it were real. OMG it was!

We all enjoyed our stay here at this Whidbey Island property. The facility was adequate---lots of steps to go up and down for Santa Claus as we were there over Christmas!! 51 steps in fact one way!! Was a good work out. Wish we would have had TV to see football games---but went to a local bar/café and watched there. The view was fantastic!! Could see Mt. Rainer and buildings in downtown Seattle.
