Stunning Waterfront 5 Bedroom Home with Mountain Views and Fire Pit, Dog Friendly

The door was really hard to open.

What a great property inside and out. Our annual Whidbey Island Family gathering was held here. We usually rent a different place every year, but this time I think we all agree to return to Marty's Place again. Lots of space for all of us with a room to spare. The kitchen is amazing with two dishwashers, two sinks with garbage disposals, a great oven, well-stocked kitchen, plus a spectacular view! It's a perfect space for a large family. Simply the BEST stay yet!

Beware, if you come to Marty's place you'll never want to leave. The view is sublime, the grounds are expansive and beautiful, the house is gracious and spacious. We were a party of 7 adults and 1 teen on Whidbey for my daughter's wedding at Fireseed. Marty's Place was the perfect basecamp for the parent's of the bride and some friends and family from all over the world. We made big home cooked meals in the wonderfully equipped and gigantic kitchen, we roasted marshmallows with cousins in the fabulous fire pit, we spent hours relaxing, chatting and sipping on the wide and comfortable wrap around porch. Thank you Marty's Place for every moment of Whidbey magic!

A beautiful home in a great location within walking distance of Langley. Really great kitchen, dining, and conversation spaces for our family reunion of 14. A few things came up. The chain on one of the toilet handles broke early in the week. Despite repeated promises from Vacasa that “the local team has been contacted and will reach out,” nothing happened and we were effectively down one bathroom for the full trip. Also, there were signs on the bunk beds saying, “Do not use the upper bunks” which we had been counting on for the younger cousins. Do not book if you plan to use all the beds in the bunk room. Minor inconveniences overall. We made it work but it did not meet up to our other VRBO experiences. Whidbey is a magical place, though. We would definitely come back to the island.

My family and I had a great time at Marty’s. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Sunrise and sunsets were beautiful! 20 min walk to town.

Great location. Gorgeous home. Property is large, beautiful and private. Great views. The wrap around porch was perfect for watching the sunset. The home is well maintained, nicely furnished, and equipped with everything, including an EV charger. Close to town. We can’t say enough good things about this house.

The home and property were beautiful, we saw orca whales from the yard. The house is also very nice and well equipped. Unfortunately it was not as clean as we would have expected, the biggest issue was finding urine in a chest upstairs. We messaged the property manager about this and they did fix it quickly. Some of the rugs also smelled like urine and did not seem clean.

We chose Marty's Place for our annual sisters & cousins getaway, and it fit the bill perfectly. Plenty of rooms and beds and bathrooms--and nooks for puzzling and reading and chatting. The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped, allowing us to cook every meal for ourselves, and the space even allowed for our impromptu dance party. While we didn't take full advantage of the outdoor space, it was lovely to look at, and the water views from both floors were outstanding. We'll be back!

This is an absolutely magnificent home. It’s nicely decorated and comfortable with more than enough room for a large family or gathering. The view and grounds are beautiful. Being an old home there are some quirks, like creaky stairs and antique door handles, which can be frustrating to work, but this gives the home its charm and character. The kitchen is perfectly appointed with a Viking stove and confection oven, large refrigerator and two dishwashers. The bedrooms all have antique furniture and cozy quilts with gorgeous views.

Amazing views of the water and great home to relax in. Tons of options for sitting locations and family time. Table big enough for the whole family! Bedrooms were comfortable. And wow-- lots of towels!
