Madrona Tree Retreat by AvantStay | 3mins to Beach | Fire Pit + Outdoor Living

Escape to the serene beauty of Whidbey Island at Madrona Tree Retreat, where rustic charm meets modern comfort. Tucked away just a short 3-minute drive from the beach, this one-of-a-kind home offers a perfect getaway for families, friends, and nature lovers alike.

Step into the main living area, where soaring ceilings and expansive windows flood the space with natural light. In the center lie two towering tree trunks that bring the magic of the outdoors inside, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Unwind in the cozy seating area, or gather in the adjacent dining space for a memorable meal prepared in the fully equipped kitchen. Venture downstairs to the second living area, complete with a plush sectional and a TV for cozy movie nights.

The home’s three bedrooms promise restful nights for everyone. The primary suite boasts a queen bed and an ensuite bathroom, while the second bedroom offers another queen bed. A third bedroom features a playful twin-over-full bunk bed, ideal for kids or extra guests. With two additional full bathrooms, there’s plenty of space for everyone to freshen up with ease.

Outdoors, the retreat shines even brighter. Enjoy beautiful views from the upper deck as you relax in the comfortable seating or fire up the grill for an alfresco feast. The lower patio features a dining table perfect for meals under the stars, while the fire pit and Adirondack chairs invite late-night stories and s’mores.

Great place poor communication
Got this place for family to stay at when they came for a wedding. Everything was great with the place and they thought the treehouse/loft atmosphere was really cool. However, this place is managed by vacasa and listed on vrbo. Don't expect quick response from the owners or property managers. I received responses from different person each time and it was a day later that I would get a response. The first responses before their stay were form answers as well and didn't answer my questions. Obviously, skimmed by some operator and form answers applied.

Cute house in beautiful neighborhood
This house was located in a great spot. Quiet neighborhood with beautiful view to walk out to on the porch. The loft is a great little set up but do keep in mind there’s no closing off noise from the rest of the house. We had two babies traveling with us and setting up sleeping arrangements wasn’t the most ideal but we made it work. There’s are two rooms downstairs with a seating area and bathroom. One of the rooms has a door for privacy the other only has a barn door that slides almost shut but cannot be closed off to block out noise. We had a great time on our family trip and the house provided comfort and almost everything we needed. Fairly clean home upon arrival. We all had a great trip!

Unique and fun place to stay
This was a fun place to stay on Whidbey island - our group consisted of my husband and myself, our 2 kids (11 and 15) and my dad (76) and we had plenty of space for everyone (loved the 3 bathrooms). The place is close to Fort Casey, ~10 min from downtown Coupeville, and ~40 min from Deception Pass. It is located in a quiet neighborhood. We didn't get a chance to check out the pool but I did call ahead and find out it is heated. A few things to consider before you book: -The master bedroom upstairs is a loft and it is right over the kitchen - there are no doors for the bedroom or the en suite bathroom (just a curtain). Ideally your earliest risers are there otherwise whoever gets up first will wake you up. There is also a large picture window that overlooks the bed and it has no curtains - so bring some eye masks otherwise the light will wake you up in the morning. -As others have mentioned there are a lot of stairs. I don't see this as a great choice for those with young kids (the stairs are platforms and have a lot of space in between) or those who are unable to manage stairs because there are no bedrooms on the main floor. -I really liked the neighborhood - great for evening walks and quiet at night- but it is no walking distance to any shops or restaurants so plan ahead

Cute Place
The We enjoyed our stay with our two grandchildren, 10 and 7, however sleeping downstairs was too dark and scary for them, and not comfortable for us to be honest, and a bit septic smelling, so we had them sleep upstairs in our bedroom on a mattress on the floor. That worked out okay. The kitchen was well equipped, but we would have loved a colander to drain our pasta, but couldn't find one.

Absolutely Amazing Property
Your home was amazing, my grown children and I went on mini vacation to see the island. We were stationed in Oak Harbor and moved home when they were babies in early 90's. The location was perfect to travel to Seattle and north to Mt. Baker. We could not have found a better place. FYI the coffee pot is in clean mode and could not fix it. But hey when your in the northwest who drinks coffee at home. Just wanted you to know about kustnin case. WILL STAY here again if we ever make a trip to the island again. Thank you for sharing you piece of paradise with us.

Unique and interesting architecture
The house was unique and interesting - it had a lot of good qualities including nice appliances, because of the MANY stairs I wouldn't recommend it for young children or senior citizens. For guests that love an open concept it is perfect. The house is on 3 levels and level 1 (kitchen and living area) have no closed walls or doors between it and level 2 (master bedroom and bathroom). For guests that prefer a good deal of privacy this might be an issue. The bottom level has two bedrooms and a very small "den" with the only tv. The navy did some training flights over the house that were loud, but that didn't bother us. We enjoyed our short getaway at this property.

Whidbey Island retreat
Great location with plenty of room for our family of five. Clean and comfortable. The only issue we had was the washer was not working and we had been counting on being able to use it. The property manager was aware that the washer was not working and apologized for not letting us know in advance. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would recommend the location for anyone needing the space.

Uniquely Beautiful Home in Central Location
A beautiful property in a central area of Whidbey Island, this is an ideal spot for anyone who is trying to cover a lot of sites and parks across Whidbey. The home is perfectly maintained, and the wildlife nearby was consistently stunning (deer in the yard every morning, eagles flying by...). Highly recommend!

Great for group w teens
The lower level was the perfect hangout spot for our kids while parents enjoyed the rest of this lovely light-filled home. Great location close to a wonderful beach, excellent bird watching areas and to Fort Casey but must admit we didn’t read the listing closely and were startled to see/hear the fighter jets training so closely. It wasn’t a problem, (in fact it is kind of cool to watch, at least for a little bit) just loud & something to be aware of. Kids were thrilled by it!

Nice bright house on beautiful Whidbey Island
This home was light, bright and modern. We really enjoyed the drive/walk just under a mile to the beach/pool. However, likely due to the proximity of doors and windows as well as lack of screens on any of them, it was nearly impossible to cool the house on a mid-70 degree day. For some reason, the home turns into an oven with all the natural light. The kitchen and overall main living space is rather small with very minimal counter space. There is a guest house right next to the main house (you can see it in the picture) which had a car in driveway and appeared to be inhabited, but no mention of this in the listing.
