About this property

Studio on the water's edge of Penn Cove

The studio is in a separate building from the main house in this little slice of paradise that is a part of Ebeys National Historic Reserve and is on a beach right at the water's edge of Penn Cove. Nature abounds on this unique property, with eagles, hawks, gulls, owls, herons, oyster catchers and so many other birds showing up on the shores. You will often spot harbor seals, and the occasional otter and orca, too. Whether you are looking for a romantic and peaceful escape from city life, or an active few days exploring the numerous state parks, fishing, crabbing, kayaking, boating, antiquing, wine tasting at nearby island wineries, tasting locally produced ales, getting fresh produce from local farms, enjoying the quaint town of Coupeville, there are many options. The studio has a stove and refrigerator, so you are able to prepare light meals. There is an outdoor, under cover picnic area. There is also a cedar hot tub and sauna available for use for an extra daily fee (usually included in quote, but is optional). This property falls into the rain shadow and is south facing, so we often see sunshine when a lot of the Pacific Northwest is under cloud cover or rain. Located a few minutes from the town of Coupeville, and with Oak Harbor a few minutes in the other direction, State parks nearby, this studio located in a rural private enclave right on the water offers something for everyone to enjoy.

Please note that either myself and my husband or a caretaker will almost always be staying in the main house during your stay, so if any issues arise, would be able to address them as soon as is feasible.

For a limited time, we are also offering a basement suite in the main house with a separate private entrance that has a kitchen and its own separate hot tub and firepit area. See VRBO rental # 2989661. The availability is from April 6th to July 3rd, 2025.

On the Beach!

Mere steps from the beach on beautiful Penn Cove. Super comfy bed & cozy studio. Bonus being dog friendly. Fantastic communication with the host. Location was great - central to the Island - easy to sightsee North one day and South the next. Nearby Coupeville has amazing shops & restaurants.

Great Stay

The Penn cove studio was perfect for a quick Whidbey getaway! It’s an amazing location, right on the water and a quick bike ride to the Kettles or fort Ebey state park. The place is clean and comfy and the hosts are super friendly. Can’t wait to stay again!

Stay at Studio on Penn Cove

Such a good time my husband and I had in spite of cold weather and wind. This is a delightful spot, and we plan to return in the spring. The owners were very nice and low key. A five rating!

Great spot on Penn Cove

I enjoyed my stay here very much and the hot tub was a very nice treat. There’s a small market up the street and the studio is right at the water’s edge with lots to see and relaxing sounds of the water on the shore.

Loved the Natural Vibes at Penn Cove

The Studio on Penn Cove was perfect for our short stay on Whidbey Island. We loved walking on the beach early in the morning and again in the evening. The hosts have created a natural and relaxing atmosphere that reflects the diversity of the island. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer.

Beautiful stay

This was one of our favorite stays ever. Beautiful cottage on a beach peppered with muscles and clams. The hot tub was an added treat to take in the view. Coupeville is a very cute town and was a convenient location to hike and other activities. The groundskeeper Bill kindly made us a soup with the shellfish on the beach and it remains one of the best meals we have had, and was so generous! Really recommend this place!

Cozy & Serene

I wish I could have stayed at least a day longer at this gem. The bed is so fluffy and comfy, everything felt extremely clean. We made use of the little kitchenette, it was great for simple meals. The cedar hot tub was delicious and overall I felt I had more than adequate privacy despite this being a guesthouse. Every interaction with the hosts was lovely. They even let us pick some apples from the yard! The real treasure was launching our paddle boards from the private beach. Highly recommend this stay

We had a great little relaxing weekend here, and the sunrises are well worth getting up for…even if you aren’t a morning person. It’s a perfect spot to sit and find a little peace.

Studio on the water

I stayed at the studio with my daughter for a weekend. The studio was beautiful and comfortable. It was small, but it was perfect for our stay. Debbie was a great hostess. She was patient with me as I was a first time VRBO user. I think our favorite part was seeing the animals on the property, especially watching the duck play in the cove. We would definitely stay here again.

Front door to Wild Life

Seals, herons, eagles, and bunnies! Oh my! We had no idea that we would be visited by so many wild animals. (The host also has a friendly duck and chickens). Our host was very communicative and thoughtful. The space has everything you need. Peaceful and off the grid.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Jackson

Host profile image
My husband John and I moved here in November, 2021 and feel incredibly lucky to call this wonderful property on the water's edge of Penn Cove our home. We have another property we have been renting out in California for over ten years now on VRBO, so are very familiar with the requirements of what makes happy renters. We love to create space that is inviting and comfortable and pleasing to the eye. We look forward to sharing our little slice of heaven with you.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. No nearby neighbors and right on the water in a reserve. A few minute's drive to towns and shopping and also state parks. Relaxing and calm with a very comfortable interior, it is a wonderful place to unwind from city life.

What makes this property unique

We are close to the water’s edge of Penn Cove. It gives you a close up view of the bird and sea-life that inhabit this beautiful cove.
