About this property

Private Whidbey Island Waterfront Beach Cabin

Enjoy breathtaking views of Puget Sound, Mount Rainier, the Seattle skyline and the North Cascades from this cozy, two-story beach cabin.

This unique property -- Double Bluff Beach Club -- boasts 200 feet of no-bank waterfront on over three acres of beach. Meander 1/4 mile down a private drive and ascend stone stairs to this piece of paradise perched about the trees.

Soak in summer sun from a gorgeous, custom-built deck, or stroll along a sand and driftwood trail to the water's edge. On an enchanted evening, dine beneath the stars or head down to the fire pit to roast marshmallows, to tell stories and to sing songs around a campfire. Just outside the house is a partially covered patio complete with comfortable furniture, a barbecue grill, a dinner bell, a warm outdoor shower and lots of hooks to hang towels and gear from a memorable day at the beach.

Inside you'll find all the comforts of home coupled with unique Island charm. This top-to-bottom remodel is beautiful, bright, and EVERY room has a view! Curl up on the comfy couch with a good book, play board games around the coffee table or simply kick back, take a nap and relax.

The cabin features gleaming, original 1930's wood floors and a fully stocked kitchen/dining area with granite counter tops, bar stools and all-new stainless steel appliances. The family-friendly living room frames picture windows and just beyond it reside a 3/4 bathroom with a granite vanity, a linen closet and the main floor bedroom with a queen bed, new carpet, a built-in closet and that spectacular view!

Descend the spiral staircase to the bunk room. The kiddos will go crazy over two custom bunk beds and two built-in berths, each with its own storage area and night light. The kids' room is complete with puzzles, games and ample room to play. The lower level also features new carpet, a second bedroom with a queen bed and its own private entrance, and a full bath with an over-sized washer and dryer.

DBBC is located at Double Bluff Beach and County Park, a premier spot for outdoor water sports and activities including fishing, crabbing, clamming, kayaking, kiteboarding, skimboarding and paddleboarding. The cabin is minutes away from grocery shopping in Freeland and the Saturday Bayview Farmer's Market (late Apr-Oct). While you are here, be sure to visit Langley -- South Whidbey's charming, seaside village -- for strolling, shopping, whale watching and dining.

Whidbey Island is a gem, home to magical memories and often referred to as 'the shortest distance to far away.' Many have been inspired and rejuvenated by this place, and year after year they continue to return. Double Bluff Beach Club is no different. We think you will LOVE it here!

This was our second stay here and we absolutely loved it again. The view and location just can’t be beat. The house is small, but with the large deck and the beach right there, it’s just right for a family of four.

Lots of natural beauty, quiet and peaceful.Long walks along the beach with a variety of sea birds and interesting tide pools were a highlight.Lots of stairs leading up to the cabin made for a good workout but not for those with limited mobility.Perhaps a tea kettle and strainer for those who like tea.Otherwise a wonderful week of rest and relaxation!

This property is in a wonderful quiet location. The access to the beach and the views of the bay are amazing. The house is old and access to the house is up a lot of stairs, but that wasn’t a problem for our group. When we stayed in August there was quite a few wasps around the property which limited our time down on the grassy area, some wasp traps would be a good idea. Otherwise another great stay for us!

The view and location were truly beautiful and accurate to the listing. Check in was easy. The house was well stocked with any items you might need (kitchen, towels, etc).Unfortunately, the house was extremely filthy. The toilets and showers were dirty. I had to clean black mold/sludge out of the shower. I have pictures of this. The carpets and bedding were not clean, especially outside of the main living room.While this doesn't negatively impact my rating, I think this is important information: I do not recommend taking children under 6 or 7 years of age here. There is a steep, dangerous spiral staircase not included in the listing pictures, which we had to barricade to the best of our ability. Because of the spiral staircase, the children's sleeping area (bunk beds) is open to the living room. Therefore, you cannot relax inside after children go to bed. FYI the beach does have a lot of wasps, which is fine but just good to know before you get there.

Beautiful Cabin on the Beach

We take our dog to Double Bluff beach often and have always want to stay at this cabin. It's a beautiful spot with amazing views. Really well set up for our family, and could accommodate a larger group. We loved cooking with the view of the beach and playing games out on the deck.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Tschetter

Host profile image
Two families purchased this home in late 2012 after meeting through a shared interest in kiteboarding. One of the families lives right here on Whidbey Island. The other family live in Seattle. We love Whidbey Island and especially Useless Bay!

Why they chose this property

Useless Bay is unmatched, and this property is amazing! The remodel was a serious labor of love, but it was well-worth the effort. We had a vision for this dusty old diamond in the rough; we believed it could be updated and enjoyed by future generations of families.

What makes this property unique

The cabin sits perched 40' up on Double Buff, but it still has direct waterfront access. The lot is 200' wide and over 3 acres. It's beautiful! World class kiteboarding can be accessed right in front of the cabin October thru April. The property is literally surrounded by 100s of acres of county and state land where you can explore miles of beach and public tidelands year round.
