A place of pure peace and retro charm, this Oak Harbor home overlooks the stunning Washington coastline! With direct beach access, be sure to get outside and enjoy the breeze at your leisure. Within 10 miles you'll discover Deception Pass Golf Center, Rosario Head Trailhead, and Joseph Whidbey State Park.

Inside, instantly feel welcomed by the warm wood finishes, carefully curated decorations, and ample natural lighting. The open-concept living room, dining room, and kitchen blend together perfectly. Put a log on the wood-burning fireplace and stream your favorite shows from the comfort of the plush sofa.

The well-equipped kitchen provides a pleasant space to play chef amongst the suite of stainless steel appliances and pristine countertops. When you want to escalate your cooking, fire up the provided gas grill. Dine inside or alfresco on the home's expansive, scenic deck.

The bedroom's cheerful yellow, blue, and red accents will draw you in. Rinse off in the tiled walk-in shower after a day spent in the salty air, and throw your vacation garb in the private washer/dryer for a refresher.

As the sun begins to set over the water, head back outside and gaze out at unforgettable views.

THINGS TO KNOW
This home is located near Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. As with most homes north of Greenbank, you should be aware that flight training occurs and will result in jet noise. For many this is not an issue and rather a source of excitement, but for some this is disturbing. Please check the flight schedule to see if your dates would be impacted by the jet noise before confirming your reservation, if the jet noise is of concern.
Streaming services available with guests’ own account(s).
This home is not equipped with air-conditioning.

Whidbey Island getaway
We loved this quaint little home right on the beach. Reading the history of the home and seeing the family photos really added to the character and charm. It was great to take walks on the beach and see various wildlife daily. Such a charming home that went perfectly with the charming and magical island.

Perfectly relaxing
4 day stay … could have easily stayed longer. Great beach just steps from the house, roomy, well stocked with kitchen supplies, comfortable, nice shower, WiFi reception good, tv good, newer appliances, very little to not pic about. Yard maintenance could have been a little better and with no AC the place did get warm on the hot afternoons, but cooled down good by bedtime. Bottom line… we will stay here again!!! Without hesitation!!

Absolute perfection!
We’ve stayed in countless VRBO’s throughout the US and this definitely made the top of the list for the Northwest. Proximity to the beach could not be better and the view, despite on and off rain, is spectacular! The home is warm and rustic with every amenity needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. I loved the old photos of the original builder/owner. Didn’t do a great deal of cooking but the kitchen had everything necessary. Looking forward to a return trip in the summer!

Great Weekend at a Charming Whidbey Island Cabin
We had a delightful weekend at this enchanting cabin on Whidbey Island! Nestled in a serene location, the cabin was not only incredibly cute but also immensely comfortable, decorated with unique beach finds that instantly made it feel like a cozy home away from home. The comfy bed was a perfect end to our days spent exploring the nearby Deception Pass, conveniently located within walking distance. What truly set this place apart was its private beach access, providing us with stunning and exclusive views, especially breathtaking during the sunsets viewed from the large deck. We made good use of the BBQ and kitchen for our dinners, finding everything we needed for home-cooked meals. Relaxing on the spacious deck, soaking up the sun, and watching the spectacular sunsets proved to be a highlight of our stay. Despite its central location, which made local attractions readily accessible, the cabin offered a peaceful retreat, perfect for those moments when we wanted to unwind and soak in the tranquil natural surroundings. Our stay was absolutely wonderful, and we're looking forward to returning to this lovely cabin. It’s the perfect spot for anyone seeking a comfortable and picturesque escape on Whidbey Island!

Great Home, Strict policies and unresponsive Management
I Loved the Beach house, it's history, cozy decor and amenities met all our needs. Where things fell short, was specifically in regards with the property management company Vacasa. Their guest and no party policy seemed unusually strict. "All guests must be added to the reservation ,even if guests are not staying the night, or be formally evicted with no refund, no parties whatsoever." I was hoping to invite my brother and his fiance over to celebrate our wedding anniversary with some takeout and cake. Does this qualify as a party? I'm a nearly 30 bookworm. I don't throw loud ragers. The Cabin has so many amenities for entertaining, and sharing memories with loved ones but the very strictly worded notices on the fridge suggested otherwise. I called the property manager's number that was listed in the binder, "Cassandra". I was hoping to get my guest family members added to the booking but no one answered and there was no voicemail box set up. We had to change our plans last minute to find a way to celebrate the occasion. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Which was extra frustrating because the home was wonderful otherwise.

Tranquil home and an amazing experience
A well kept, and tranquil home that made for a very relaxing and pleasant stay. The house was very clean and thoughtfully equipped with everything we might have needed. Highly recommend spending time at this lovely home and staring away at the sunset.

Relaxing weekend on the beach
Really enjoyed the weekend on Whidbey Island. Started off with a walk on the beach down to Deception Pass. A little over 4 miles round trip, but a beautiful walk and scenery. The beach house was perfect. Great layout and has everything you need. The raised deck needs a scraping/sanding, but still a perfect spot to watch the sunset from.

This was the perfect retreat for us. Exactly what we needed. Quiet, so very comfortable and beyond peaceful. The cabin was well stocked with all the luxuries of home and then some. Wish we had more time to explore this amazing area!

Awesome stay on Whidbey Island
This house had everything we needed and then some. Location was perfect. The beach was so nice and most of the time I had it to myself. Loved the jets taking off & landing at the base. Just a great stay!! We will definitely be back and highly recommend.

Great week on Puget Sound
Such a beautifully decorated and well stocked house. We cooked every meal and enjoyed eating while overlooking Puget Sound. On quiet days (no wind), we actually loved to hear revelry coming from the air station at sunset. Thanks for a great stay.

Perfect for Getaway!!!
This house had everything I hoped for and needed!! It was cozy and comfortable with a wide variety of places to sit and enjoy (both inside and out) the sounds of waves on the beach and the variety of birds. All the amenities were there that are wanted or hoped for including a few ways to make coffee. Easy walking access to the beach which was walked many times! Each day that I was there I soaked in the gorgeous sunsets and embraced the quiet mornings to enjoy my coffee and journal. The perfect getaway!!!!

A Magical Place
I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 night stay at this quaint beach cottage on the water and look forward to my next stay. It was a 10 star experience! The place is well equipped for comfort and convenience throughout, and the waterfront setting is spectacular - perfect for long walks throughout the day. The family history themes on display around the home made it extra special and cozy - a testimony to the current owner's pride, love and respect of the home's legacy. Thanks for a great stay! I'll be back!
