About this property

South Whidbey canal front, Indoor sauna, jacuzzi; community beach, kayaks!

You will be amazed at the splendor our beautiful home has to offer. From the spectacular views across Cultus Bay and the Olympic mountains, to the indoor dry sauna and 8-person indoor Jacuzzi, to the community tennis courts--there is something for everyone during your action-packed stay.

This home feature four bedrooms, including a king-size master suite, two queen-size beds, and two twin-size beds. Send the noisy crowd downstairs to play foosball and watch the game, while the adults can prepare a delicious meal in the well-appointed kitchen. Plus, we just installed AIR CONDITIONING to keep you comfortable on those hot summer days!

Outdoors, the backyard extends all of the way to the canal, with a 40' boathouse that includes power and water. And if that's not enough, stroll a couple blocks down the hill to the community park that features a wrap-around beach with fire pit perfect for roasting smores after a day relaxing on the beach. Plus, for the adventure minded, we have two small kayaks on the dock next door (our home) for your use. The boathouse is currently closed for repairs.

Best of all, you'll enjoy the feel of a tight-knit community of like-minded souls who love the sea, the abundant natural parks, and wildlife all around this amazing retreat.

Perfect weekend getaway
Great location, beautiful view and very nice property, exactly as advertised on the site. The host offered us an early check in, which was generous, though we were not able to take advantage of it because of work schedules. It was the perfect location and accommodations for our girl’s weekend; highly recommend!

Relaxing winter escape
The house is great. Plenty of room for our family. Well stocked kitchen, cozy living spaces and fireplace. The sauna and hot tub on a rainy long weekend were just the ticket for relaxation. The location is good, though not directly on the beach. It is in a neighborhood so lots of other homes around. It is a quick walk to the bay and about 15-20 minutes to Useless bay, Langley and Clinton.

We really enjoyed our stay. Looking over the water and the boats was beautiful. The spot had plenty of activities and was perfect for our weekend away. Also make sure to visit Cutlass Bay Distillery next door.

The perfect getaway!
Our family and friends stayed in this beautiful home for our daughter’s wedding on Whidbey Island. The house itself is impeccably stocked and furnished, the location is easy to get to and the host could not have been more accommodating. We are already thinking about a longer stay for next summer! Thank you, Darrell, for the most perfect Whidbey experience!

Great house and location.
This was probably the fourth time we have stayed at this home and love it! There is so much space for people to spread out and do whatever they want and then gather back at the dinner table for good food and conversation. The views are stunning and we’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful views
We loved the location. The house set up was great for our family as far as bedrooms and bathrooms. We had plenty of li n ens and cook ware. We were short on foil, coffee, paper towels and zip lock bags. The amenities included a hot tub which was not working, a bbq which was not working and a fire table which was not working.

Great Home Great Location!
This was our first time visiting Whidbey Island and I don't think we could have chosen a better place to stay. It was a beautiful home and location. It was very easy to get to from the ferry and the view was amazing! The home had everything we needed, the listing was spot on, and the small touches of Christmas made us feel right at home! We will definitely be staying here again.

South Whidbey Getaway
This is a perfect set up for a family getaway - teens enjoyed staying on the first level and playing foosball and the adults enjoyed the upstairs balconies and well-stocked kitchen. Very convenient to the Clinton ferry and pretty beaches/Useless Bay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Amazing property that is wonderful for families
This is one of the absolute best VRBO properties I've stayed in! It's a beautiful house in a wonderful location and the house is great for families with kids as there is a foosball table + tons of toys and games as well as a hot tub. And the host couldn't be nicer. Can't recommend enough!

What a Perfect Stay!
This was such an excellent experience. We were on Whidbey for my brother's wedding and we couldn't have found a better place! Great views, plenty of space upstairs and down, fully stocked, comfortable beds and furniture, and a really great host! My elderly parents, one who uses a walker, stayed on the main (top) floor, which was perfect and accommodating for their mobility needs. The downstairs had great toys for my 5 yr old nephew to play with and a comfy couch & big TV for movie watching. Also, the propane fire pit table on the top deck is a great touch. It's aesthetically pleasing and kept us cozy as the sun went down. We will be back for sure! Thank you Darrell!
