Private Whidbey Island Waterfront Beach Cabin

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.

My son Sam and our dogs Jack and Yogi had a wonderful weekend at the house on Double Bluff Road. The house is comfortable and really well equipped (sharp knives!), the view to the south—all the way to the lights of Seattle's skyline—is 180° and spectacular, and the dune/beach area is fantastic for trying to tire out the dogs. We'll definitely be back.

We spent 2 nights at this home and were very happy with our choice of location. The owner was great to let us squeeze in at the last minute and was very prompt to address our questions upon arrival. Additionally, he accommodated our need to check out a couple hours late. It was a huge blessing to us!

I was extremely happy to find the beds very comfortable, which I do not usually find to be the case while on vacation. I am terribly spoiled with my bed at home...LOL. All three of us wanted to extend our stay as the location and the view could not have suited us better. I would think this home would be fantastic for two couples and 4 kids to be very comfortable! The only downside is that you have to be ready for all the stairs. Had we been travelling with my grandmother, as we have in the past, she never would have been able to make it up them. We did fine.

Our little dog was welcomed to stay with us and she loved it here, too. There is a large yard sort of area that we were able to walk and potty her in without getting her covered in sand. But, she loved her trip down to the water, too. An easy walk down a short path, directly from the house's stairs, takes you right to the water! Then, when you return, there is an outdoor shower to rinse off feet so you don't track sand into the house. Don't forget your slippers...this is a "no shoes allowed" home!

I enjoyed the offering of an assortment of books, got hooked on one that I didn't finish and wound up reserving it through the library on the way home...hahaha. There were also several games to entertain a family. We had the option of watching tv on two TVs that offer things like Hulu or Netflix, but we opted to enjoy the view and quiet time during our short stay. Even during the busiest time of mid-day, there were still only a dozen or so people at the beach and the deck was very quiet, shaded and relaxing.

My one star reduction is simply for the trek up the stairs. Other than that minor item and a couple things not worth mentioning here, we could not have been happier with our stay. I think we would stay here again but not with extended family as our 17yo son is 6'3" and there would not be beds for my parents and him at the same time., which is our typical gang of travellers. For this trip that did not include the extra tall kiddo or dad...it was perfect!
