Mid-Century Modern Waterfront on Private Beach, Whidbey Island, over 100 reviews

Angele and Mark provided the perfect place to stay for our group trip. Staying at their house is like staying with a family member or trusted friend; they have stocked everything they think you might need while you're there and give you detailed instructions on where to find it all if needed. There was a slight maintenance issue that popped up before our check in, which they handled very well, especially with communicating what was happening with our group. The house is comfortable, the views are gorgeous, and the hosts are excellent.

Comfortable home with incredible views and lots of things to do! Highly recommend and would love to stay here again.

We took our six twenty-something kids and a grandbaby for a week of family vacation and we all absolutely loved it! The views never failed to impress. The kids canoed and loved the water. We loved having the gorgeous Strawberry Point hike within walking distance. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking. The table was great for all of us to have family dinners. My 20 y.o. was over the moon over all the mid-century decor. I highly recommend!

Mid century modern decor was carried out through the furniture, decor and even plates and decor - so fun! Deck is a whole other living space with stunning views! Beautiful home; great hosts; perfect location!

Lovely property!

Our family spent more than a week at this lovely home. The 180-degree views of the Cascades, Camano Island, and the Olympics. One can watch the sunrise and moonrise on the water. Temperatures in August were delightful. It was in the 50's at night and 60's-72F during the day, usually with a good breeze. No AC needed!The kitchen had nice appliances that served us well to cook our meals. The kitchen table was perfect for games and puzzles, and the dining room table can handle up to 8. For those who fly in with a carry-on, the laundry room is great. The home is fun and comfortable with big sofas, comfy chairs and beds and a distinct mid-century vibe. Upstairs, a roomy living room has bay views and a wood-burning fireplace. Those who needed a quiet place to work can use the enormous downstairs living space which includes two bedrooms and a bathroom. The high bank that gives great views across the water but could be a problem for those with mobility issues. Stairs to the water allowed us to walk on the beach, collect shells and marvel at the huge driftwood. We also enjoyed watching the covey of quail, the deer, bunnies, and other birds from the deck and kitchen table. The owners have a well-planned notebook with all pertinent home information and Angele, who kindly sent more helpful travel information before our arrival. They are responsive and helpful, and we were pleased to have a chance to meet with one of the owners, Mark, who grew up in this charming home.

Really great home base for visit to the San Juan Islands. Home has everything a family of 6 needs to cook. We loved the fire pit, picking berries and digging for clams! Views were amazing, would very much recommend.

We had a great time. I was very impressed with how neat, tidy and organized the house was. There was something to do for everyone and we enjoyed our time there. The master bed/bath had a different layout than we are accustomed to, but it worked out fine.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here on Whidbey Island. The views from the house are truly spectacular, and the beach is a quick walk down some steps. Things we loved:1.) Spectacular, stunning views2.) Access to a stunning beach you can walk on for some distance3.) Modern kitchen4.) Games and books in the house5.) Comfortable and pleasant house overall6.) Quick and easy communication with the host7.) Location near Deception Pass. Things to be aware of:1.) Stairs down to beach are steep and may not be suitable for the very old or young or people who struggle with steps. 2.) No door between master bedroom and its attached bath3.) Water is yellow at times but bottled water is provided for drinkingOverall we loved our stay and would be happy to return.

Two college friends with their husbands and I have gotten together through the decades. Not always easy as we are spread across the country from the East Coast to Hawaii. This vacation rental sits close to the top of all the places we have stayed. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
