About this property

Whidbey Island Mid-Century Modern Waterfront Escape - JAW DROPPING VIEWS!!

A lovingly restored classic Mid-century Modern Waterfront home. The nearly 270 degree westside view spans Mt. Rainier, downtown Seattle, the Olympics, Port Townsend, and the San Juan islands. Sitting on nearly an acre with privacy so difficult to find, this home features a circular driveway, full length deck, master suite with its own private deck, a chef's kitchen with high end appliances, and close proximity to all that Whidbey Island has to offer.

Our place feels like it's a world away, yet it's only a short 90 minute jaunt from Seattle. Located in the Olympic rain shadow, our winter days are warmer / dryer and summer days are cooler than Seattle.

The house has been a labor of love for our family as we have been carefully restoring / preserving it to its original 1960s mid-century modern vintage complete with modern finishes / creature comforts - all with a focus on reuse and sustainability.

Take in the views from the full size deck that extends the length of the house and is equipped with HAY Palissade deck chairs, a Solo Stove fire pit, a Sonos Move, alfresco dining setup, and a Pawleys Island cotton rope hammock - all capped by a spectacular PNW native Madrona tree.

The great room is replete with carefully curated mid century modern touches, a fully stocked chef's kitchen with high end appliances, a Nespresso machine, board games, a deep sectional couch, an Apple TV, a Sonos audio setup, amazon Alexas, and smart lighting controlled via the provided iPad.

The spa-like master bedroom ensuite has a medium firm foam mattress king size bed, Pendleton throws, a wall of closets, soft linen sheets, and opens to its own private deck. The Master Bedroom now has a brand new, METICULOUSLY REMODELED bathroom with a vanity, and DUAL SHOWERS. Be one of the first to experience it!

Be one of the first to experience the RECENTLY REMODELED second bathroom. Deep water tub, dual floating vanity, Hansgrohe fixtures all interspersed with subway and hex tile.

The second bathroom has a deep water tub, dual floating vanity, Hansgrohe fixtures all interspersed with subway and hex tile.

The green spaces on three sides of the property are perfect for bocce ball, frisbee, kicking a soccer ball around, badminton, or for using the outdoor ping pong table. Need a bigger playground - walk down the street to take steps to the beach.

Tesla (or other EV) owner? Our place has a Level 2 EV Charger for you to plug in.

We've obsessed over all the details! Wanderlust has taken us to over 25 different countries across 5 continents. We have stayed in hundreds of hotels, airbnbs, guests houses - and have drawn inspiration from all of them in getting our place ready for all of you to experience.

Whimsy on Whidbey

We love this house! We spent our 3rd visit to this wonderful home with our family of 4 adults, our 2 kids and our dog. The house is stocked for a week with a family! Tons of games, great tech options, ping pong table, and corn hole kept the kids busy. The hosts create a great space for cooking in as a family with the kitchen really well appointed. The house is cozy for sunny days and for cool nights. We enjoyed the solo stove for a fire at dusk with some delicious wine from the island. The house is centrally located on the island and close to great places to site see such as the Meerkirk Garden's, Langley, Greenbank Farms, and Dancing Fish Winery. Freeland has everything you need close at hand. The hosts are gracious and wonderful communicators. Highly recommend this home!

Serene, cozy respite

We absolutely love staying in this cozy, warm and peaceful retreat! We were able to press the pause button on the world for a couple of days. We have stayed here in the past, and, look forward to returning! (Our little dog, Mollie felt right at home, too, and, napped peacefully the whole time!)

The home was just as described. Cozy house in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen has everything you need- and great quality products (like Crate and Barrel and West Elm ).

Beauty on Whidbey

Amazing and beautiful stay on Whidbey. This is our second stay at this mid-century gem. The hosts are responsive and welcoming. The house is well appointed, great for families for both exploring the island and just chilling out watching the sun set over the Olympic Mountains. Clean, comfortable, and great location. The EV charging access is an amazing plus!! Highly recommend this home!

Great Girls' Getaway!

The house was the perfect place for three long-time friends who now live far apart to reconnect. We loved sitting on the deck talking while enjoying the views or Puget Sound, the Olympics, passing ships, and fabulous night skies. The local beach made for invigorating morning walks. The kitchen is well equipped to cook meals. and some wonderful restaurants (Prima Bistro, Savory) are just a short drive away. There is plenty to do on Whidbey Island. One unexpected find that we especially enjoyed was the Price Sculpture Forest outside of Coupeville.

Views for Days!

This was our second stay at this beautiful property and once again, we were sad to leave! The house is beautiful, spacious and well-appointed. We appreciate all of the tech that the owners have incorporated. The location is perfect - it's on a dead-end street, so there is little to no traffic and the views from the deck cannot be beat. I could (and do) stare out at that water all day long! The hosts are great to work with too. If I had one suggestion, it would be to put screens on the windows/sliding door so that guests could take advantage of the ocean breezes and fresh air. Thank you so much - we can't wait to come back!

An amazing spot

My husband and I really loved this place. It is perched at the top of a hill with an incredible view of the Sound. The neighborhood is quiet, and the beach, accessible at the end of the street, was perfect for daily walks. The house itself is lovely, with a large deck and everything we needed. The kitchen had all the necessary supplies for our stay and the bathrooms - both newly renovated - were gorgeous. The bedrooms are comfortable as well. We brought our dog with us, and he enjoyed chasing a ball in the yard and walks on the beach. Thank you for a great stay!

Beach house

House worked very well, but a little rough around the edges. Also, for the price it seem like we shouldn’t have to do any preparation upon leaving. The equipment didn’t work such as the Floor heater in the master bathroom.

Amazing Family Vacation on Whidbey

This Whidbey Island home is an impeccable location for a family vacation. Amazing access to a private beach on the Admiralty Inlet with clear views of the Olympic mountains. The home is well equipped for eating in, enjoying a movie night, playing board games, and just soaking in the views. We appreciated the EV charging capability and the yard space for our dog while visiting. The location is well positioned to visit Langley, the Meerkerk gardens, wineries and Coupeville! We had great communication from the hosts and home was better than advertised. We will be returning soon!

Storm was a problem

We thought the house and hosts were great. A very bad storm prevented us from fully enjoying our stay. When the power went out we had to leave a day earlier than planned. A fair review is impossible given the unlucky circumstances.

About the host

Hosted by Naureen & Shehryar

Host profile image
We have lived in Seattle for the past 25 years. Naureen has a background in real estate and Shehryar works with tech startups. We left no stone unturned in our search for a second home and landed on the west side of Whidbey Island as the perfect destination to escape the hustle and bustle of city life with our 12 and 14 year old sons and a Labradoodle. Wanderlust has taken us to over 25 different countries across 5 continents. We have stayed in hundreds of hotels, pensions, and B&B’s and have drawn inspiration from all of them for this property.

Why they chose this property

Our place is located in the Windmill Heights neighborhood on the west side of Whidbey Island, on the north end of Mutiny Bay, which (along with Useless Bay) is widely considered to be one of the best beaches on the Island. The neighborhood comprises of 30 homes of which 14, like ours, are on the water. Centrally located on South Whidbey, the town of Freeland is an 8 minute drive, Langley 20 minutes, Greenbank 15 minutes, Coupeville 25 minutes, the Clinton Ferry Terminal 20 minutes, and Coupeville Ferry Terminal 25 minutes.

What makes this property unique

We love the views, access to the beach, the artsy community of South Whidbey Island, great restaurants, and the dryer weather (as compared to Seattle).
