About this property

Spectacular Views - North Whidbey

Enjoy sweeping water and mountain views from this immaculate, duplex home. This 1,550 s.f., one-bedroom apartment is fully-furnished with a eat-in kitchen, living room, dining room and office and study.

The house sits on a hill that gently rolls down to the water. The garden-level, lower unit is self-contained and opens up to a covered patio and to the lush, landscaped lawn overlooking Dugualla Bay. It's a magical feeling to sit out in the back, shaded by ornamental trees, blueberry bushes and blooming fuchsias, to watch the ever-changing tides, snow-capped mountains and the sun or moon make it's way across the horizon.

The house is conveniently-located in a quiet neighborhood five blocks from the beach and minutes to downtown Oak Harbor. It is a short drive to restaurants, shopping and other amenities, yet feels worlds away. It is well-appointed and a convenient launching pad for exploring Whidbey Island, Deception Pass, Anacortes and the San Juan Islands.

There is a queen, memory foam bed in the bedroom, and a twin bed in the living room. There is also a fold-down couch in the study that sleeps two more. There is wi-fi, a 40" TV with an Amazon Fire Stick for streaming movies, a jetted tub, microwave and toaster ovens, a washer/dryer and, a large desk to write your next novel. The kitchen is stocked with cooking utensils, and linens and towels are provided.

August Birthdays and Oak Harbor

Wonderful location - the sunrises were stupendous.....and every day had the deer coming through to take a meal or two off the apple and pear trees - we even had an albino little boy deer in the group. We had coffee every morning on the patio and there was a great setup to WFH for those of you who may need to work like I did. The kitchen is supplied with nice pots/pans/utensils - I've learned to bring my own stuff from home, but here I would not have needed to. There is no oven, but the toaster oven worked just fine. The house was extremely clean - the cleanest VRBO we've ever rented. My only 'complaint' - and really, not that big a deal because we were alone at the property for the majority of the time - but when the owner or her family members were in residence, you can definitely hear them upstairs.

Can't Beat the View

Fantastic view to watch the tide go in and out revealing sandbars from the river. Fun to have planes coming into the air base fly right over (during the day only). Otherwise, very quiet at night. Property was very clean and comfortable.

This home was very clean, quiet, and it had a gorgeous view of the water. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because of the kitchen stove. There were only 2 burners and ann electric grill, and those did not work very well. Other than that. The home wa lovely.

Larger than it looks!

I rented this VRBO for two family members and a dog for two nights. The location was very convenient for a get together for nearby relatives. The VRBO is located below the owner's house and is much more spacious than we expected. The kitchen is very nice and well-stocked. The bedroom is large with a comfortable bed. A daybed is located in the living room. The view is wonderful and there is a nearby beach. It is a short drive to Oak Harbor for shopping and restaurants. The only comment is that the day bed may not work for taller people. Other than that one comment, the stay was very enjoyable.

Wonderful Vacation Home

Very clean, well-appointed unit! Everything was very modern and high quality. We prefer to cook rather than eat out and the kitchen was easy to work in. The stove had a Jen-air-like vent that vented to the outside and kept the kitchen clean-smelling. There is a Keurig and a Mister Coffee, so we had a choice. Being a Starbuck's fan, my husband used the Mister Coffiee every morning. The smell of the coffee cabinet smelled like my grandmother's coffee cabinet...boy, that that bring back happy memories! The bed was cushy but firm, which is crucial for me and my husband. The tub has jacuzzi jets and was a treat to use after a long travel day. We are used to providing our own sundries including laundry detergent, plastic wrap, etc., but the unit had everything! The view is amazing from the house! Julie is very easy to work with. This is truly a vacation home!

We LOVED our stay at Julie's place. The view is amazing, as are the daily visits from birds, deer, rabbits, and other friendly visitors. The space itself is well equipped and very cozy. Great kitchen with everything we needed for cooking at "home" and then some. Thank you for your hospitality!

Comfy place in a quaint and quiet neighborhood

My stay here was absolutely great! The back patio, yard and view were probably my favorite things about this place. Very spacious and clean. You can tell Julie puts time into decorating and thinking of what her guests will need to make their stay more enjoyable. I wish I could have spent more time here!!

Perfect place when visiting Ft Casey and Coupeville

This place is spacious and very clean. It is a walking distance to the beach and a nearby town where there's plenty of places to eat. I also like that the neighborhood is quiet. We'll definitely consider staying here again, next time we are in town.

Glorious views

This property is so charming. The house had everything we needed and accommodated our family of 5 very comfortably for 2.5 days. Quiet neighborhood with such beautiful views, we loved it! Julie was very sweet to us and invited us to have as much fruit as we wanted from her fruit trees. What a fun experience! We would love to stay here again when we visit Whidbey Island.

Nice neighborhood with beautiful views.

My mom and I decided to take a long weekend and had never been to Oak Harbor besides passing through. My son joined us at the last minute but there was plenty of room. He stayed in the entryway room on the futon. He liked that it could be closed off and we did too because he is a night owl and we are not. Plenty of things to do in the area. I messaged Julie before we arrived asking about beaches and things to do. We only had plans to go to Deception Pass Park. She was quick in response and we visited the shops on Pioneer Street and Fort Ebey as she suggested. Dugualla Bay is just down the road. It's very muddy but we still visited several times to bird watch, watch the sunset and pick Himalayan berries. The only thing I would warn others about is the jets flying over are loud. This was not a problem for us. We are from an aviation family and loved taking videos of the flybys. They don't fly over on the weekends just during the week. Overall, we would stay again.

Relaxing Vistas

Spent maybe too much time just relaxing on the patio. Grab some coffee to watch the boats in the distance as the sun comes up or a glass of wine to see the colors change on Mt. Baker as the sun sets.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Chan

Host profile image
I have visited the island many times as a child and now as an adult. I have fond memories of summers camping under the tall fir trees and clam-digging on the beach. I look forward to spending more time on the Island.

Why they chose this property

I bought this house as my vacation home for its breathtaking views and proximity to Seattle. I visit as often as I can. There are two units in this house. I occupy the upper unit, and make the lower unit available on VRBO.

What makes this property unique

Only a 90-minute drive from Seattle. the house is quiet, private and spacious, yet close to both natural beauty and the amenities of Oak Harbor. Escape for the weekend, or stay longer to relax, unwind and refresh.
