Summer at Water’s Edge is one of the most beautiful times of year on Whidbey Island. June brings long golden evenings, sparkling sunshine dancing across Holmes Harbor, abundant wildlife, and the feeling of truly living right at the edge of the water. As daylight stretches later into the evening, eagles, herons, shorebirds, deer, and other wildlife remain active well into sunset, creating an atmosphere that feels peaceful, vibrant, and deeply connected to nature.

One of the highlights of summer is Freeland’s beloved Fourth of July celebration. Each year on July 3rd, fireworks are launched from a barge literally right in front of Water’s Edge over at Freeland Park across the harbor. Guests can relax right along the waterfront bank while absorbing the festive waterfront atmosphere and watching the fireworks reflect across Holmes Harbor from an incredibly close and memorable vantage point.

The celebration often continues around the harbor on the Fourth of July itself, with additional fireworks commonly visible and heard throughout the surrounding waterfront areas. There is something deeply special about experiencing summer and the Fourth of July on the water — creating memories with the people you care about that often stay with you far longer than material things ever do. Whether it is family, close friends, or simply slowing down together at the shoreline, the experience can feel timeless and unforgettable.

Please Note Regarding Fourth of July Celebration Booking:Due to the popularity of the July 3rd and Fourth of July holiday period, any reservation including July 3rd or July 4th requires a minimum stay of 4 nights.

Pet Notice:Guests traveling with dogs should be aware that fireworks can be heard and seen around the harbor during the July 3rd and July 4th celebrations. While many guests enjoy the festive atmosphere, noise-sensitive pets may be more comfortable in a quieter setting during this holiday period.

    Awesome location, great views and abundance of wildlife. We loved each sunrise, and the harbor seals were amazing. The host was a great communicator during the entire process. Although she is new to the VRBO processes, she took the time to contact us to make sure we were able to access the property and that everything was in working order,
