Beautiful beach views

Quaint beach cabin and generally a pleasant stay. Enjoyed the new hot tub. Well stocked (need a juice pitcher, though) and very good high-quality beds. However, upstairs jetted bathtub had dirty jets, dirty tile, and shower head needs replacing. Kitchen faucet leaks when turned on and there were tiny ants on the counters. The low tides were fun to explore but the ladder to the beach did not allow 2 senior citizens to access it. Listing should probably address this issue.

Whidbey getaway

We stayed at this great home on Whidbey Island for two weeks with my family, and it was an incredible experience! The breathtaking views from the back were nothing short of spectacular, providing a perfect backdrop for our stay. Puget Sound and views of Olympic mountains with constantly changing scenes as the tide went in and out. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, making meal prep a breeze. What truly set this place apart, though, were the amazing neighbors. They were friendly, welcoming, and added a special touch to our visit. If you're looking for a getaway with stunning scenery and a homey feel, this rental is a must-visit!

Unbelievable views and a fantastic time!

We had a wonderful long weekend with our son and his girlfriend, and Shimmering Waters was a home run. The views from the deck and interior spaces are exceptional, we watched bald eagles, herons, and osprey hunting daily, and the sunsets over the Olympics were spectacular. House is incredibly well stocked (perhaps so well that finding room for kitchen items brought from home was challenging but that's a good problem!). The dishwasher needs some repair, and the kitchen and bath fixtures are well-worn and could use some updating. The long kyack is ready to be replaced (slow leak) but kyaks were fun to use. Beach glass, shells, and incredibly abundant sealife on the tide flats made for hours of leisurely beachcombing. We'll be back!

Cute place, could use a modest refresh

A cute place. Could use a bit of a refresh. Needs some upgrades on cooking tools and furniture. A little less clutter. Better organization of notes. More comfortable furniture. (House instructions consisted of sun-bleached sticky notes in several places around house, plus guest book with a smattering of pages shoved in it, with handwritten addenda.) Privacy screen between hot tub and neighbors would be great. Communication with host was perfect and we had a fun time.

Heavenly waterfront home

The location and the home lovely. Beds were extremely comfortable, the house was spotlessly clean. It had every amenity in the kitchen. Absolutely quiet at all times. My friend and I had a long girl's weekend and thought it was perfect.

Sounds of the Bay

Very nice house located directly on a walkable shoreline. Perfect fit for ourselves and our two family guests. Location is somewhat remote and road in and out is a bit tricky. Hot tub was great. Some of the amenities need updates. Contact with host was very good.

What a beautiful setting and great experience on Whidbey Island. This is a wonderful and quiet property with everything that you need for a relaxing getaway. Sunset over the Olympic mountains views from the jacuzzi or a beach walk are unforgettable. Would highly recommend this property.

Perfect Location

We spent 4 nights in this great beach house. It's very cozy and well-appointed. The best part is the location - it's on a private drive right on the Maxwelton beach. The views from every room are phenomenal! We had a very relaxing time reading, playing games, watching movies and enjoying the hot tub. And a beautiful sunset!!

Great location!!

Love Maxwelton Beach!! It was a really wonderful location, right on the water. Amazing views!! Loved walking the beach everyday, even in the rain! The hone had a well-stocked kitchen, but my favorite room was the light-filled, cheerful master bedroom upstairs! There’s a skylight above the bed and I enjoyed hearing the rain and seeing the stars at night… ahhh… The hot tub on the deck got a lot of use by us. Wonderful..!! (Though it needs to be cleaned) The home was great, even though dated and needs some TLC. Check-in instructions came last minute, after I sent an email the night before our arrival. Even so, we would definitely stay here again!!

Perfect PNW summer holiday

This property met all my expectations for a beautiful Pacific NW destination. The house size was perfect for our family of four, we had enough space for everyone and made use of the entire house and its features. Sitting in the jacuzzi to watch sunset was such a treat, we enjoyed sitting on the deck with coffee, taking walks along the beach and out the Sound at low tide. The kitchen was super well stocked, and I appreciated that there was enough of everything to wash clothes and dishes all week that we didn't have to buy supplies. The property manager was able to provide a lot of information and suggestions before our arrival. The house is well located and an easy drive to the Clinton ferry, groceries, and the towns to visit on the island. It was ideal and we would return in a heartbeat.
