Saratoga Waterview Escape

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

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!

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

Great family retreat!
The house is very comfortable and well furnished for our family of four plus, one dog! The view is wonderful and the house feels private even with neighbors close by. The house is sunny most of the day as it sits perched on a bluff on the Northern tip of South Whidbey Island overlooking Saratoga passage. When tides are low the community beach down the road becomes more accessible to be able to reach Baby Island. It is very peaceful and quiet, a great respite with plentiful wildlife. We enjoyed the neighborhood deer family, saw dolphins, seals, and osprey fishing! (The house is in need of a deep clean after a busy summer season. Since it is dog friendly it needs extra TLC, we stayed off season in mid September. It was also missing a cleaning supplies/dishwasher soap. The house cleaning support team could be more mindful of small details.) Thank you!

Special Place
We took our kids and were looking to decompress with them and boy did we. We stared out at sea for hours a day trying to spot wildlife and reading and we weren’t disappointed. We spotted orcas from the living room on our last day, bald eagles, seals. Such a fun experience and this placed checked every box. They even had toys for the little ones, which was a nice touch. Surrounding forrest and town of Langley were almost amazing. Highly recommend if you want to recharge your batteries bc we sure did and would go back tomorrow

Beautiful views + perfect location
This is a beautiful house in an amazing location both for people interested in going to Deception Pass & also for those interested in exploring Langley. The house itself has the most amazing views of the Saratoga passage and everything inside the house is wonderful and clean. It’s very well decorated and has a great kitchen to provide for all needs. One of the biggest selling points was the fully fenced-in backyard which was perfect for my dog, and the front yard is enclosed too so you don’t have to worry about pets running into the road. Absolutely loved everything about the stay here & will definitely be back.

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.
