Whidbey House 3 BR 2 BA Porch & Patio: Walk to Golf & Beach Sleeps 6-7

The Whidbey House is a luxurious 1,800 SF, three-bedroom, two-bath handicap-accessible vacation home. Located in Freeland’s upscale Holmes Harbor neighborhood, it is just walking distance to the golf course, trails, and beach. Nestled against a large, forested tract, the Whidbey House feels like a quiet oasis. The backyard offers some of the best birding in Washington, and deer visit several times daily.

Whidbey House was built in a modern but comfortable Northwest bungalow style. The house is dominated by a luxurious great room that includes a fully equipped gourmet kitchen with granite counters, breakfast bar, and stainless appliances. High ceilings and big windows in all the rooms give the house a spacious feel.

Accommodations include three bedrooms and two baths. The five beds include a king in the luxury master suite and a queen in a second bedroom. The third bedroom has two twin bunkbeds and a twin sleeper chair. A Pack and Play portable crib is also provided. The king bed has a new, luxury Saatva mattress. The queen bed has a new pillowtop mattress.
Important amenities include high speed wifi, a high-definition Samsung TV, satellite TV, and an office area with PC and printer. The house is handicap-accessible with no steps for entry, wide doorways, and a walk-in shower. Adjacent to the house is a modest fenced area with a patio, outdoor table, gas grill, and gas firepit. In addition, a covered front porch on the first floor offers a great place to relax and watch the world go by. The house has a high efficiency heat pump system for air conditioning and heating. A two-car garage behind the Whidbey House is entered from a private driveway. There is plenty of parking for six cars or for a 40-foot RV. There is a 30-amp electrical hookup, making the Whidbey House a great destination for RV or van owners.

Located only 15 minutes north of the Clinton-Mukilteo ferry terminal, the Whidbey House is ideally located for a perfect vacation, taking advantage of everything South Whidbey has to offer. During the day enjoy the natural environment and stimulating outdoor pursuits for which Whidbey is famous, including golf (walking distance), beachcombing, whale watching, hiking, fishing, biking, boating, kayaking, canoeing, and motorcycling–just to name a few. Then in the evenings take in the breweries, wineries, distilleries, restaurants, and shopping that fill the region around the quaint communities of Freeland and Langley. Or just relax at the Whidbey House and enjoy the sunset from the porch or rear patio as you watch the deer graze in the yard.
The house is within walking distance of a community beach and the Holmes Harbor Golf Course. Downtown Freeland is only a 5-minute drive. Further afield, Langley is 15 minutes away, and Coupeville is just 20 minutes. Many breweries, wineries, and distilleries are found within 5 to 10 minutes. For example, the excellent Holmes Harbor Cellars is only 1.5 miles distant, making for an easy biking or walking. excursion. Driving only 1.8 miles would bring you to the upscale Gordon’s on Blueberry Hill, offering harbor views, pasta, steak, and seafood.

We loved it!
Our group of friends came over from Seattle to shop and meet up with a friend who lives on the island. The house was great; all the beds are comfortable, the house is immaculate, easy/ample parking, and the neighborhood is quiet and nice. We loved the little extras like extra blankets & towels, a fully stocked spice collection, and all the canoeing & kayaking decorations. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the instructions to take out the trash. The first "welcome" email included instructions to bring the trash to the curb upon checking in, which was off-putting since it was someone else's trash and who wants to take out the trash on your vacation? There were so many messages about taking the can to the curb and returning it. I get it but what would happen if we weren't there? Maybe just pay someone $30 to do this for you so you don't have to ask guests. Other than that, the house is perfect and it was a really nice stay.

Perfect Home!
The Whidbey House was hands down the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. So much space, so clean & so homey. We traveled with small children and the amenities (pack n play, high chair, etc) at the house made traveling with less a breeze! We will definitely be booking again for future travel to Whidbey Island.

Nice attractive home
The property was nice and the information accurately described the property. However, I must have gotten this property mixed up with a different location and thought there was filtered water in the home. Because we arrived very late at night we realized the water wasn’t drinkable and had to find a convenience store to buy bottled water. The shower was great except the chlorine smells in the water were overbearing. I’m very sensitive to chemicals. Not the property owners fault, but had someone placed that pertinent information in their review, we probably would have stayed elsewhere. The neighborhood was quiet and the house and yard were very nice and well kept. We felt safe there coming from our country home in Texas.

The house was in pristine condition, beds were really comfortable. The heater options around the house were great. Each room has its own control. Kitchen has all the spices needed for cooking. Theres games, puzzles as well as an stocked laundry room with everything you need for laundry. Having a garage was a plus to get in and out . Loved the no shoes policy to keep the place clean!

Very clean and very well appointed. We had a group of 7, the maximum considering beds. One evening our local family visited for diner which grew the group to 12, it worked out great. The owners communicated extremely well before our arrival so there were no surprises or issues of any kind.

We enjoyed coffee on the patio, a nice walk through the neighborhood. My husband and son took the canoe to Langley and crabbed. We took the kayak to a beach and paddled around.
