**New Listing ** Welcome to Whale’s Tale Retreat, your coastal home away from home! Located on the sunny west side of Whidbey Island in the neighborhood of Lagoon Point where we get less than half the rain of Seattle, our newly updated beach house sits on a 2/3 acre park like yard with the beach just across the street. There are views of the Admiralty Inlet, Lagoon, Olympic mountains and Canal from nearly every window in the house!
Being avid travelers ourselves, we wanted to create a vacation home that included as many of the details and amenities that we hope for when we travel. Minimal coastal decor and curated furniture create a peaceful retreat from the distractions of daily life. Oversized windows combined with warm white interiors create a bright home even on the rare gloomy days.
The home was thoughtfully designed with families in mind with available toys, space to play, safety gates, pack n play, sound machine and minimal things to break. We’re ready for you parents of little people.
For older kids and adults young at heart we’ve got kites, bikes, trees to climb, bean bag toss, bocce ball, basket and soccer balls.
Bike or stroll around the quiet, flat streets of the neighborhood. There is so much to look at. Take a walk along miles of beach right outside your front lawn. Bring your fishing poles and fish for salmon right off the beach. Lagoon Point is known as one of the best fishing and whale watching beaches on the island.
If lounging is what you prefer, we’ve got cozy spots inside as well as two decks, lounge chairs overlooking the yard and a hammock for cloud watching. Enjoy a cup of tea or glass of wine while you watch lingering sunsets and deer prance by from your living room and upper deck. There are books, board games, and puzzles available along with a wood stove to keep warm on those cooler nights.
Need to work from home while traveling? No problem. We’ve got reliable high speed internet and a movable desk that can be set up in a bedroom or living space.
We have made sure guests with low mobility are comfortable by having a queen sized bedroom with its own tv, bathroom with walk-in shower and kitchen all on the first floor for less time up and down the stairs.

*For those with allergies: Our small dog does occasionally frequent the house so we are not 100% hypoallergenic. We never allow him on the furniture.
Lagoon Point is located 25 minutes north of the Clinton ferry. It is conveniently close to many of the attractions on the island. South Whidbey State Park is just 4 minutes down the road for great hiking. Take a stroll or dine at Greenbank Farm, less than 10 minutes away. Explore the old barracks at nearby Fort Casey or hop onto the Port Townsend ferry for a day trip/dinner. Coupeville, Freeland, Bayview, and Langley are all close by for shopping and entertainment. We’ll have a list of restaurants and local winery/brewery favorites available.
*We are committed to caring for our beautiful Salish Sea and the creatures that call it home. Our local endangered orca whales called the “southern residents” need all the support we can give. A portion of our proceeds go to whale research. Visit the Langley Whale Center to learn more about our resident whales.
