Excellent visit!

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our stay in the Double Bluff Guesthouse! The hosts were easy to communicate with and the space was just what we had expected. The one downside to this location is that you will have to drive everywhere except the beach. But it is a quiet, cozy location worth visiting!

Great Little Space Near the Water

My husband and I were in this area for a beach wedding. This house was in a perfect location for an easy walk or quick drive to the beach. The house was small but had everything we needed for a short stay. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything needed to make a meal if needed. It was a short drive to coffee and restaurants. We definitely recommend this home.

Karate Training

My karate teacher of 30 + years is now living in Freeland, and this was a great location as a home base to visit with him and do additional training. After the workouts it was great to come back to a clean place and relax in a peaceful setting. And the washer/dryer came in very handy!

Incredibly Impressed

Abby and Paul are amazing hosts and incredibly accommodating. Apart from the accommodation being excellent, they were kind to help us reschedule our stay at their place from last summer, when circumstances caused changes to our ability to stay at their place. Since we were unable to get a refund, they generously offered us a time to stay within the year. Our daughter and son-in-law stayed there instead, and they reported that the place was lovely and very close to a beautiful beach.

solo weekend getaway

I had a relaxing getaway. The cottage is cute and clean, comfy bed. Would have been nice to have at least one chair on the deck. While it technically does have a TV, be aware that there's no cable. I mostly enjoyed the peace and solitude, though the teenagers at the house made that difficult the first night. Walks to the beach and blackberry picking were wonderful.

Good small accommodation

Not sure I would use "cozy" as an accurate description. The connotation of charming that comes with cozy is not there. The ambiance is more sterile Hospital room. The bed is great but walls are so close it is necessary to sidestep around to other side. Kitchen is well outfitted but one cabinet door has a broken hinge. Bathroom shower is very low water pressure and the hard water makes it difficult to rinse off the soap. Was very nice to have laundry access. Thank you Ami and Barry your rental is clean and very close to the beach, we would rent again if back in the area. Thank you.

Perfect!

Absolutely loved staying at Double Bluff Getaway! Gorgeous little guest home just far enough away from civilization but close enough to still drive for a delicious dinner in Langley or Freeland. The quiet, peaceful home was the most perfect place for us. I’ll definitely be staying again! Hopefully for our 5th anniversary. :) Abi and Paul are the best!!

Great location

The cabin is across the street from a wetlands, short walk to a wonderful beach on Admiralty Inlet, and conveniently located to a large number of mid island hikes. This is a wonderful spot to stay at for those who are outdoors all day…quiet, low key. Our second stay here.

wonderful location-easy to get to S. Whitney State Park, Fort Casey State Park, Fort Ebey State Park and Kettles hikes, in addition to Whitbey Land Trust Greenbank Farm trails. fantastic Whitbey Island public beach access to Double Bluff beach. Simple, clean accommodation (no bric a brac fussiness). WiFi a bit spotty, but could live with that. Would definitely return.

Ideal late summer get away: 6 mins from beautiful beach

We loved this quaint cottage. So close to the beach and so easy to use as a base for a late summer trip to Whidbey. The hosts are really easy to work with and very obliging (they even sent me my house keys that I had left behind) and pleasant. We will be back!
