About this property

Sunny by the Sound by AvantStay | Coastal Escape

Welcome to Sunny by the Sound, your ideal vacation getaway nestled within the enchanting Harrington Lagoon community on Whidbey Island's eastern shore. Conveniently located just a stone's throw away from the historic town of Coupeville, Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve, the Port Townsend ferry, Fort Casey State Park, and the majestic Admiralty Head Lighthouse, this home offers you a gateway to an abundance of coastal wonders.

This newly renovated haven boasts 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a modern open concept that effortlessly merges style and comfort. With 1,700 square feet of single-story living space, your group will have plenty of room to unwind. And just a few steps away, the community's low-bank beach access beckons you for easy seaside adventures.

Sunny comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests, with a king bed, a queen bed, and two twin beds. For an additional touch of versatility, we've included a trundle day bed in the sitting room, which can be closed off for privacy.

Inside, you’ll find a kitchen and dining space designed to allow everyone to join in on the meal prep experience. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, baking, and entertaining, while the large dining table was created with connection in mind and is the perfect place for puzzles, board games, and visiting. For added convenience, the laundry room boasts a full-size side-by-side washer and dryer, along with a spacious freezer to store your freshly caught fish and crab.

The living room and sitting room welcome you with its power-reclining furniture, cozy blankets, and an abundance of fluffy pillows. Stay connected with reliable Comcast Internet, offering seamless Wi-Fi coverage throughout the entire home. Kids will find endless entertainment with ample gaming opportunities, while adults can comfortably engage in remote work if needed.

The community beach access grants you entry to the wonders of Harrington Lagoon, its gentle waters beckoning you to embrace serenity and tranquility. Take to the paddle board or kayak and discover the secret world beneath the surface, where a magnificent gathering of Sand Dollars awaits. Witness the flight of two Bald Eagles and their adorable eaglets, or play in the exhilarating body surfing currents, which ebb and flow twice daily. And let's not forget the magnificent bay, our very own Pacific Northwest playground. Immerse yourself in the joy of beach fishing or row out a little further to drop a crab pot, just a mere 100 feet from shore. With clams and mussels in abundance, the beach becomes your personal treasure trove, inviting leisurely strolls and the excitement of rock hounding.

Sunny welcomes both your little ones and your furry friends with open arms, as the fully fenced property ensures their safety and enjoyment throughout your stay. Inquire now for the opportunity to rent both Sunny and our neighboring gem, "Sisters by the Sound.”

Charming House

We loved this place & wished we could have stayed longer. It is decorated so well & there is everything you could need while away from home. We loved the two plush recliners in the living room & the sleep number bed was very comfortable. We brought our small dog so the large fenced yard was great. Also enjoyed our walk on the beach which is just across the street. We definitely plan on staying here again.

Clean & spacious house, nice location

Property is well-furnished, with lots of space for our family of 4. I love the large fenced yard that our dog can be out running about. The neighborhood is very quiet. It was nice to take morning walks around the neighborhood, or down to the beach.

Annual Family crabbing trip

The house was absolutely perfect. The community boat launch was such an unexpected bonus!! Son and girlfriend from North Carolina and Cousin and wife from North Dakota. We always come over to the coast for opening Crabbing weekend. With the exception of the tight roadway with the boat and truck, there is absolutely NOTHING that would have made this weekend any better. If we had just come with a couple cars to enjoy a beautiful 4th on the coast, it would have been spot on!

Thank you, Paula! We're so glad the home was a perfect fit for your crew and that the community boat launch was a pleasant surprise. It sounds like a wonderful way to kick off crabbing season and celebrate the 4th! We appreciate the note about the roadway and will keep that in mind for future guests with trailers. We'd love to welcome you all back anytime!

Much more space than we needed. Everything was clean and ready for us. Thank you for the pizza in the refrigerator when we arrived. We loved the power recliners. Our pup loved chasing the bunnies. Lots of stuff to do but we did nothing just like we planned. Great place to kick back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the house and the location. It was a great base camp for two families with kids to spend a few days at the Island. The only bump was that the house was out of coffee filters! Maybe just have the maintenance crew double check for supplies.

Quiet and Serene

My best friend and I along with my 2 shih tzus spent the weekend here. The home was easy to find, located in a quiet neighborhood (probably busier in the summer months) and only a 15-minute drive to downtown Coupeville. The home is clean, comfortable and well-appointment. There was only 2 of us so the home was very spacious with a large fenced yard perfect for our dogs. I have rented at least 8 homes on Whidbey Island and this one of my favorites. What made this trip even more special was the pod of orcas we saw they day we checked out!

Great getaway

We had a fabulous time! The house was super clean and ready for us upon arrival. The beds were comfy, the couch and chairs all reclined (!!) and the kitchen was sup well stocked with cooking pans and utensils. The fully fenced yard was great for our two dogs who played hours of fetch. I loved drinking my morning coffee on the deck watching the herons, eagle and other birds fly around. The best part was the quiet- such a relief from noisy city living. And so many great places to visit near by. Easily found outdoor dining options that allowed dogs and food was delicious. Highly recommend.

Great place for a large group. Very clean. The only thing is the floor was very squeaky when you walk from the master bedroom to the living room. And be mindful the bathroom in the master bedroom. The tub and the shower are separate and the shower are very small. I'm 5'9 and my partner is 6'1 we couldn't hardly move around in the shower. Otherwise we enjoy whidbey Island for the first time.
