Saratoga Waterview Escape

Enjoy panoramic views of Saratoga Passage and Camano Island across the water from the back deck, the grassy lawn, and almost every room of this beautiful, oceanfront cottage on the shores of Whidbey Island. Built on a high bluff in 1947 and gorgeously updated since, this single-level home features both modern and classic elements of design, including beamed ceilings, exposed brick, and large picture windows that run the length of the house.

Whether you choose to spend your days walking on the beach (accessible down the road) or perusing the charming shops of downtown Langley, you'll have ample space for relaxation when you return home. There's an oceanfront living room where you can curl up to watch for orca pods and the occasional grey whale; an adjacent nook with a selection of puzzles, books, and games to enjoy; and a sun room where you can have one eye on the flatscreen TV and the other on the bald eagles soaring over the backyard. The kitchen is open and breezy, offering stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, a spacious island with bar seating, and a dining table for six - all with a commanding view of the water.

Just beyond the sliding glass doors are the inviting deck and backyard below, where you can sip your coffee at sunrise or enjoy a glass of wine at sunset, since both are visible from this property. Grill in the ocean air and then sit down for an al fresco meal. Additional amenities include a large main bedroom suite with a private bathroom and a desk workspace, free WiFi, a washer/dryer, and both a booster seat and a Pack 'N Play for the little ones.

This waterfront home is located in the tranquil community of Baby Island Heights on the east side of Whidbey Island, on a high bluff with approximately 75 feet of frontage. It's an area of the island - seven miles northwest of downtown Langley - known for its black-tailed deer population. To access the private beach, you need only walk up the road and down the hill to the right; once you're there, you'll likely catch a glimpse of the harbor seals that are known to frequent the area. Please keep your distance from the beautiful wildlife both on and off the beach, admiring the seal, deer, and eagle population from afar.

Solace and Relaxation
This home was so adorable. I loved the entire place. The view is of water and sky for miles. The kitchen is elegant yet cozy. So many places to sit, snuggle with a book, and look at the amazing view. I had the most peaceful getaway. Thank you!

Thanksgiving Getaway
House is in a perfect location and the views are breathtaking! Pros: Location Extremely well equipped kitchen Plenty of sitting and lounging areas Fenced yard for dog Cons: Cleanliness - dog hair everywhere, bathrooms/showers with mold and gross caulk, bathroom rugs not cleaned Bed and linens extremely uncomfortable(needs to be addressed! Not the only review with this sentiment!) Trash bins were full upon arrival No exterior lighting at entrance of property - walkway dangerous (solar lights were ineffective) No mention of stairs to property in listing Remotes missing batteries - had to go out and replace

Just as advertised
This was a beautiful home right overlooking the water, with every accommodation planned out. My only quibble is that we could not get the regular TV to work (we only got Netflix or Prime) and there were no instructions. But, otherwise, this is a beautiful and comfortable house. I would return.

Nice area cute house
We enjoyed our stay on whidbey island. The house is cute and has wonderful views. However the queen bed is awful. There was absolutely no cushion on it and felt like a piece of cardboard. We couldn’t find any extra toilet paper so had to share between the two couples. The house is nice but it could use a better cleaning. The windows had bugs and smears all over and the tile in the bathrooms had dirty grout and the carpet had stains on it. The stay is very adequate for one couple, however I don’t believe the queen bed is suitable for another couple on the hard bed. The house has a nice yard and would be perfect if there was an outdoor fire pit. We really enjoyed the large kitchen with amazing views.

Great Views, needs a serious cleaning
This place has wonderful views, the kitchen is great and equipped with everything you might need. Bedding and linens are clean. It needs a cleaning, desperately. There were mouse droppings and lots of spiders. Webs in all the corners. There is a window with a large crack in the glass. Dog hair on the couch and stained cushions.
