Newly Remodeled Waterfront Whidbey Island, Hot Tub

KimberlieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Crystal’s beach house was fabulous. The location right on the ocean delivered amazing views and the sound of waves. The property is modern and very tastefully decorated offering everything you could imagine for comfort and convenience. The map of the waterways and islands was so helpful. I would highly recommend this property to those looking for an oceanfront get away where you feel fine just staying in or venturing out to explore the area. We loved our stay!

WaterView,Impeccable Studio Cottage, Walk to Town

CharlotteRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Wonderful location and views, with comfy bed and everything you need for your time on Orcas. It’s close to town (although if walking, you are along a busy street with no sidewalk for a portion so not ideal for everyone) and very thoughtfully arranged. We had a great stay and would come back :)

Sunset Beach Haven- Whidbey "Seriously Waterfront"

AlinaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We've been staying at Julie's and Peter's place/s for close to 15 years now. They are unsurpassed in the quality of attention to detail, added amenities, and communication when it comes to vacation homes. We woke up this morning and I said, "They did it again. We walk in, we settle, and we feel like home." We don't ever feel this comfortable anywhere else, and frankly, don't want to return home. My husband thought about going out to buy a kite, and I said, "I bet there's one here." There were two! Plus, the West Beach walks with the views in every direction at this location are something else. Thank you for sharing your magic, Julie and Peter - our kids have practically grown up vacationing on Whidbey thanks to you.

West Beach Retreat

KellyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We absolutely ADORED our stay by the beach!! The house is well stocked with everything you could possibly need to prepare meals, plus you're within short driving distance of a grocery store, restaurants, and more. We took full advantage of the fire place since it was cold and rainy most of our trip, and listening to the waves crash against the sand was the free therapy we both needed. We will absolutely be back! :)

Beachfront Cabin, 2BR on absolutely stunning beach

SarahRating, 5 stars1 month ago

An off season stay means you get the unparalleled Puget Sound views and also quiet and peace. Cabin was cozy and comfortable. Go grocery shopping on the way to the ferry in Anacortes and the cabin has all the equipment you need to cook. Drive from the ferry dock was short, beautiful, and well-signed.

Waterfront Shalom Cabin in Sandy Point

AnthonyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Had a very peaceful stay at this place with amazing Mt. Baker in backdrop and also got to see the full moon in full glory against the sea water. One could enjoy the sunrise on a clear day which we did and to watch sunset it is a few mins drive and we enjoyed that as well. Overall a clean and cozy place to spend some quiet and peaceful time by the bay.

"Ocean view retreat with beach access and kayaks"

AnneRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Nice house, accurately described, great location! One thing the description doesn't mention is that there are DINOSAURS (made out of driftwood) along the beach, which was a super cool surprise. One thing to note is that the house is close to the refinery, so there are lights at night and some smells, although low tide accounts for some of that and can't be avoided.

A view of the dock extending into the calm water, featuring a colorful kayak and paddleboard resting on the platform. Adjoining wooden chairs create a cozy seating area, surrounded by lush grass and trees, offering a serene atmosphere for relaxation by the waterfront.

The Cottages at Twin Coves, Orcas Island (#1 of 2)

RebekahRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Lynna and Dennis’s cottage was the single best airbnb experience we’ve had. The space is beautiful and cozy, and our hosts were infinitely kind and welcoming. There is so much to do on this property—it was a true “choose your own adventure” experience. It seemed like every day we discovered a new nook or cranny that Lynna and Dennis have put there to surprise and delight guests. We kayaked, explored the tide pools, lit the wood stove when it got chilly out, and had an all around wonderful time. Their recommendations for things to try around the island were spot on. (Check out the whale watch they suggest—we had a blast, and learned a lot about the region!) There is so much more to be done and enjoyed on this property and on Orcas than we could fit into four days, and we sincerely hope we’ll have the chance to return soon!

The Salish Waterfront Retreat

RobinRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Lovely setting, lovely home, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Sitting out on the private deck in the morning listening to the birds, ducks, geese, watching all the wildlife fly and swim by, or sitting in the Japanese soaking pool under the stars, or sitting by a fire in their fire pit making s'mores were some of our favorite activities. The only potential concern for some: the stairs to the lower deck and down to the water were very steep, so those with physical limitations (like my bum knee) need to be very cautious; additionally if you are over 6' you will need to be cautious of the low ceiling beams (which were marked well with caution signs). But it is definitely a real find and we will definitely come back!

Charming West Sound Studio Apartment

LisaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

I always travel with my folding chair and enjoyed using it on the deck on this early spring visit. The bed linens and mattress made for a blissful sleep. Used the binoculars more than once and the toaster allowed me to enjoy my avocado toast for breakfast. No doubt about it, I'll be back.

Five Mile Oasis where tranquility abounds!

NatalieRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Ruthie’s oasis was one of our favorite AirBnb stays ever! It was so spacious, so comfortable, and her garden was absolutely stunning! She even had baked rhubarb pie for us, from her rhubarb garden. She was so king, accommodating, welcoming and her home is in the most beautiful, private area. It takes less than 10 minutes to get most places on the island and her patio/hammocks were such a nice place to relax. Will definitely be back to her place!

Studio loft apartment

DevonRating, 5 stars4 months ago

What a lovely space! I wish we had had more time to cozy up in the apartment, but we were gone for a lot of the stay. It was pristine, very comfortable and very well stocked. The only kind of interesting thing was the bed is rotated 90º, so one person has to sleep against the wall and crawl over the other if they need to get out. Also, definitely read the instructions on how to find the place because Google Maps took me around the back instead of up the driveway. Thank for for a great stay, Janie, I hope we can come back soon!

Beachfront Steps to the Sand, Hot Tub Birdwatching

RobinRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

The place was peaceful & well stocked and just plain perfect! We cooked mostly, played games, watched a movie made in Seattle called “the vanishing”. Hot tub at sunset! We finally had sun on the last day, but check out was early and didn’t get to sit out on the deck. Walked the beach though before we left, water was calm. And one last thing! Enjoyed your comfy beds & soft sheets! Furniture was well done!. Didn’t want to leave😩

Kissingfish Farm Charming & cozy

LynnRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Five stars all around! The Kissingfish Cottage had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and memorable. We visited with out-of-town family who had never been to the San Juan Islands, and they were absolutely awe-struck—not only by the beauty of the island but also by the charm and comfort of the cottage itself. Every detail was perfect, from the cozy bedrooms to the well-equipped kitchen, the inviting living room, and the serene front and back porches. Thank you for making this lovely home available—it was the perfect setting for our getaway!

Ship Supply Cottage Lopez Village

LillianaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We visited Lopez Island for a quick weekend away and are so happy we chose Linnea’s place. The house was very charming and included everything we need while there. Its location was perfect (right in the heart of the village so we could easily walk to restaurants and shops). Also, the bed upstairs that we slept in was VERY comfy. Highly recommend. Thank you, Linnea!

Hobby Farm Remote private island! Escape Seattle!

SommerRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

What a fun adventure and Island. I was nervous about booking and coordinating a charter and ride to the house, but Ramy and Island Express were easy to communicate with and have clear instruction. Ramy met us and helped us on arrival too. We even booked a spontaneous charter to Orcas Island for the day and both Ramy and Island Charter made that easy and possible! The location has amazing views and the beach is beautiful. We enjoyed running and walking the island without running into many cars or people, it was very peaceful. The library was my favorite, and the golf course was fun. Both easy to walk to from the house. We stayed 5 nights and didn’t get bored. Ramy was kind enough to let us use her car to see more of the island and to let us take it to the ramp to go to Orcas. Thank you for being a great host! Oh, and if you walk by the big ying yang gate at the neighbors down the road, ring the bell as the sign asks you to! That was definitely a little adventure on its own.
