Spectacular and amazing views from this special home located on beautiful Whidbey Island! The deck, kitchen, dining area, living room and bedroom all have incredible views of Mt. Baker, the Cascades, the harbor and city lights! Oak Harbor is small enough to be quaint but large enough for all of the conveniences! With a charming downtown area to satisfy everyone and many fun and entertaining events throughout the year you'll have lots of options not to mention the many sightseeing areas nearby!
This home is built on a hillside with fabulous views of Mt. Baker, the harbor and city! The top floor (street level) is the available space and is newly renovated, easily accessible and very spacious!
- Kitchen: Full kitchen with electric cooktop, wall oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, blender, toaster, tea kettle, dishware, glassware, pots and pans... pretty much anything you might need to prepare and serve meals! And the view!
- Living Room: Spacious! With a queen sleeper sofa, a recliner chair and a 'lift' chair. The 50" smart TV is above a cabinet with games and puzzles. The coffee table is special... it pulls apart to configure many different ways (see photos!). The gas fireplace adds ambiance! The Wifi is high speed. And the view!
- Bedroom: Huge master bedroom with a large walk-in closet. The king size bed is a 'sleep number' bed with each side having it's own setting. There are 2 swivel rockers and a sliding door leads out to the semi private (it can be accessed from the main deck/balcony) deck with a double glider to sit and enjoy the view! Did I mention the view?!
Bathrooms: The master bathroom is large and has 2 rooms. The outer room and vanity contains a wonderful soaking tub! Along with a sink, counter, cabinet with lots of mirrors! The inner room contains the Kohler low toilet, a taller vanity sink, cabinet and the walk-in shower.
The half-bath (powder room) is near the front entry and has the basic sink and toilet. Sorry, no view in the bathrooms! Lol!
Deck/Balcony/patio: This wonderful, covered patio has a gas BBQ and a table and chairs to relax, sit and have your glass of wine (or coffee) and enjoy that incredible view! Mt. Baker, the harbor, city lights at night... Just so fabulous!
Parking: Plenty of parking! A space right in front of the garage near the front door and loads of parking on the street (where there is also a wonderful view!)!
Laundry: In its own room, is the full size washer and dryer with laundry 'sheets' (instead of detergent) and dryer sheets, too! For your use! And there is even a little bit of a view out the window in the side door! :-)
* Activities *
Deception Pass Bridge (one of the most photographed!) and the surrounding area is a must to explore!
PBY Museum is really well done with the history of Oak Harbor AND there is a plane to see in real life!
Fort Ebey and Fort Casey (from WW2) are just a short drive away.
Historic Coupeville (the oldest city is Washington) is just 10 miles south.
Anacortes, on Fidalgo Island is fun to explore.
Port Townsend (on the Olympic Peninsula is a fun ferry ride (reservations are recommended for that ferry unless you walk on).
Guest have access to the entire top floor (street level) except the garage.
I like to give my guests plenty of privacy so you most likely won't be seeing me and you can just feel like you're right at home. I depend on the Airbnb message center for communication so be sure to turn on notifications so you'll be sure to get my messages. And I will look for your messages there as well!
This neighborhood is single family homes on a hillside with amazing views! It is a quiet one but we are also living in a Navy Air community so those wonderful jet pilots need to practice. They rarely fly over the house (maybe once a year) but you can hear the noise as they practice their touch-and-goes! Its the Sound of Freedom! Just down the hill is Walmart and Safeway - easy walking distance if you're so inclined!
A car is a must for this location although the bus system does run the entire island and is free of charge. Parking for the house is super easy - right in front! And there is plenty of parking on the street as well!
We live in a Naval Air Station community so occasionally the jets fly overhead. The normal flight pattern is wider around the city but sometimes they fly over which is very cool to watch!
