Spyglass Beach House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Stunningly situated on Whidbey Island's gorgeous Bush Point, this waterfront home provides breathtaking northwesterly views of Puget Sound, passing ships, incredible sunsets, and the peaks of the Olympic Mountains across the water. With 23 steps leading from the expansive deck down to 100 feet of private, sandy beach, this home is ideal for beachcombing, whale watching, birding (bald eagles are known to nest nearby), observing seals with their pups, flying kites, fishing, boating, and roaming the adjacent Smugglers Cove Beach. Inside, you'll be treated to such thoughtful updates as all-new towels and hypoallergenic bedding, gel-infused mattress toppers, dense sleeping pillows, new rugs, and all-new small appliances and Green Life healthy cookware, bakeware, and dishware. Outside, enjoy the large deck overlooking the water, a new gas grill, and a balcony off the primary suite.

During the high fishing season in August, you can throw a line directly from your beach, where salmon are known to often hug the shore (please note that the beach can become a bit busy at that time). If you're bringing your boat or kayaks, you'll love the convenient public boat launch just 100 feet away. South Whidbey State Park is only two miles north, featuring almost four miles of hiking trails that wind through an old-growth forest and along the shoreline. Downtown Freeland is five miles east, where you'll find delicious eateries, wineries, and local shops. There are nearby parks, including public gardens and leash-free dog beaches and trails, all within 10 miles of the home. Grab an amazing slice of pie and take a beautiful walk at Greenbank Farm seven miles north, and go back in time while exploring Fort Casey Historical State Park 15 miles north.

Great relaxing time!
It was the perfect place to wind down and take a break! Cooked lots of good food, jigsaw puzzles, dominoes, cribbage, just power lounging. AND long walks on the beach at low tide every day!

Wonderful Home at Bush Point!
Spy glass beach house is in a beautiful spot! The views can not be beat. This is our 10th rental from VRBO over the years and it was one of the cleanest, most well appointed homes. It was nicely furnished, well stocked, kitchen was great! Bedrooms were clean, beds very comfortable and a great master bedroom! This home is the perfect beach home for sure. Would definitely rent again!

Perfect
This was our forth visit to this wonderful home, and we loved every moment of our stay. The house was immaculate as always, with plenty of everything one could need. The weather this year was beautiful beyond words, which allowed us to spend many hours enjoying the beach. The sunsets were spectacular, we were even able to see the Northern Lights for two nights, and that was a sight to behold! Spyglass Beach House has become a favorite destination for us, each time we visit we leave with full hearts and unforgettable memories. We cannot recommend this beautiful home enough, it is a true treasure. It is impossible not to have wonderful time here.

A family tradition
We've been coming to Spyglass Beach House for five years now, it's become a traditional for our family. We love the location, convenient to everything Whidbey has to offer, but also ideal for just staying at home and enjoying the property. We've seen orcas, sea lions, seals, bald eagles, hawks, herons, porpoise, lions mane jellyfish, as well as all varieties of ships. The house is well appointed with everything you might need, lots of thoughtful additions to make our dogs comfortable. Warming! The fence isn't complete and if you have a wily dog you will need to keep a close eye to make sure they don't go running off after a heron or seal, as ours likes to do!

Charming Beachfront Getaway
This beautiful, cheery home was the perfect spot for a relaxing family getaway. The views are stunning, the house is equipped with everything you might need, and doggies are made to feel like first- class citizens here! Our favorite activities included long walks with our pup on the beach and watching glorious sunsets from the hot tub.

Spectacular
This was our 2nd visit here and it doesn’t disappoint. We came more prepared this time as the beach side yard is not fully fenced, so we brought temporary fencing which worked great, to keep our dogs safe. Super dog friendly home, with all the covers for protection of soft furnishings. The views can not be beaten, especially from the master bedroom! The kitchen is extremely well stocked and organized, everywhere is well decorated and designed. We will return again!

Perfect beach house getaway!
This house is such a great place to relax, take in excellent views, and spend time with family on the beach! The owners really did a wonderful job, thinking of all the perfect touches to make for a comfortable stay (great kitchenware, extra blankets, board games and puzzles, rock painting station, cozy pillows and bedding). The hot tub and deck are fabulous! Short trip to the grocery store to get anything you need. This was our second stay and we’ve already booked again for next year. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to get away to the beach!

Thanksgiving Fun
The house is wonderfully situated on the water with views of freighters and ferries, spectacular sunsets and beach walks. The community is very friendly and walkable. The owners clearly are dog lovers! Toys, towels, and everything one needs for bringing your dog. Our English lab loves it here! The kitchen has everything you could need. The bedrooms are very nice, beds comfortable, and bedding very nice. Ten stars! **********

Beautiful home, beach not very private
This home is great in so many ways. The owners provide nearly everything you possibly could need or think of. The house looks professionally decorated. The beach is amazing, except everyone who lives there locally walks their dogs and visits. It's more private than a public beach but still pretty busy. Overall, I would stay there again but I think it's a bit overpriced.
