Anchor Away, Whidbey Island Beachfront Getaway

This is a great, slightly older cabin located directly on the Sound. Views are amazing! Wildlife viewing right from the back deck. The cabin has everything visitors could possibly need. Also, a great place to watch the Seahawks win Superbowl 60!

Wonderful stay at Anchor Away!The home is situated perfectly with gorgeous water views from every room.We loved sitting in the cozy living room by the fireplace enjoying the water.Highly recommend for your next Whidbey Island adventure!

Property was just as advertised. Great communication from the hosts and a lovely stay.

My family of 5 adults relaxed at this cozy cabin right on the water. Great for senior citizens with a flat walking access to the beach just steps away from the nice big porch. We loved the very quiet, remote location with tons of nature & animal viewing. Woke up to the sound of eagles & seagulls cheering the morning sun over the water. A seal entertained us daily fishing for clams right in front of the house. Owners were very prompt & friendly in answering questions. House had everything we needed & was very cozy & comfortable.

If you are looking for a place to relax, have fun on the beach, boat, fish, crab, grill out, have a fire, play games, hike and have a bald eagle as your neighbor - yup - this location is for you.

The location of the property is great. There is wonderful beach access and the large windows allow easy viewing of the sound. The Kitchen is well supplied with pots and pans.

This was perhaps one of my favorite vacation stays EVER. It was a dreamlike setting… we would stand on the beach every morning, watching the sunrise in disbelief. My son kayaked out and set crab traps, and caught several huge ones! I cannot say enough good things, and my words fail to capture the essence of this property. We will be back, guaranteed.

We spent Labor day weekend at this lovely updated vintage cottage. The cottage is very well appointed for every imaginable vacation activity. It has a great use of space; loved the quiet little reading nooks!! My daughter caught her very first fish here (it was released, too small). We were there during a king tide and saw so many fish jumping out of the water. We filled out the boating waivers and my husband took the kids out one at a time in the row boat and they had a blast!!! So much fun!!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!!

We loved the location so close to the beach. It was quiet and peaceful, but there was also lots to watch out on the water. We particularly enjoyed watching the lights on the mainland and trains in the distance. The house is well outfitted. We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay here again.

Communication with owners were great. Location is secluded. We had so much fun fishing and crabbing. We fished two out of the four days we were there. We caught over a dozen fishes including salmons and released them. We used a 2.5 inch pink buzz bomb lure, switched hook to single barbless hook per regulations. We also caught about 2 dozen red rock crabs and 8 were legal size. We used a foldable crap trap and a crab snare and baited it with fresh cracked clams, herring one day and chicken leg on another day and manually casted it out. Let it soak for 15 minutes. We didn’t experience a bug infestation, saw a mosquito and a fly but it probably entered the house when we arrived the first night. Also it’s best if you arrive before dark as there are no street lights. Overall, it’s a 5 star in our books and would definitely consider going back.
