Find oceanfront rentals near Useless Bay

We stayed at Andy and Maggie’s beautiful beachfront home with our two teen sons. This is one of our favorite rentals ever! The views are fantastic, the house is so well designed and perfectly set up for a vacation stay. The communication was excellent, and we appreciated alll of Andy’s recommendations and tips.The property is exactly as advertised. No “trick” photography. Every element was true to the listing and exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was well stocked, and easy to cook in. We played games every night, and everyone appreciated the comfortable beds and spa-like bathrooms. Whidbey Island made for a great family get-a-way and we hope to be back.

This pet friendly cabin was the perfect spot for a last minute getaway to Whidbey Island. Eventhough the cabin wasn't directly on the beach, the views were amazing and it was only a 2-3 minute walk to a gorgeous beach that seemed to go on forever. A plus for the property was that it was fenced to keep my dog safe. Would love to stay here again in the future.

The house on the beach has a real cabin feel which was just what we were looking for in our winter getaway. We found the heat on but the cabin was cold when we arrived. No surprise - it was near 40F outside. There is a mini-split in the open living space and electric wall heaters in each bedroom, in the laundry room, and a heater in the bathroom. It took a while to warm the place up and we were quite comfortable once the chill in the cabin was gone.We tried using the wood burning fireplace insert but we couldn’t get it to draw well and it started seeping smoke into the room. So we just aired out the cabin and gave up on the fireplace since we didn’t want to risk more smoke. I suggest some clear written instructions for how best to get the fireplace to draw so it doesn’t smoke (open the flue [indicate which way is open], window cracked, get a good blaze going, and only then close the door). That was our only hiccup. Not really a problem in the summer time but a fire would have been nice on those cold winter nights.The kitchen is a dream. It is well equipped with everything you need to cook meals indoors. The beds are comfortable and there are ample blankets/duvets and pillows. Check out instructions are posted on the wall behind the front door rather than in the VRBO instructions.The view is what one would want at the beach - Logs and sand, water, and ferries going by. It just felt like our childhood spent vacationing on this beach. Wonderful! We will stay again

The cabin is adorable and and very private. You relax the minute you walk in. The wood burning stove helps create a peaceful atmosphere. We will definitely return. The owner of the property was amazing to work with. She is very responsive and a joy to work with!!!!

I wanted a place to get away for a few days and the Sunset Cottage turned out to be more than I'd hoped for or imagined! It was immaculately clean, well appointed, calm, peaceful and just steps from the water, and all the details to make it cozy and comfortable were truly appreciated. I went on some beautiful walks/hikes with my dog that were easy to get to, and although I didn't venture to any of the towns on the Island, they weren't far away. I'm so glad to have discovered this little piece of paradise and I can't wait to return!
