Waterfront Beach Cabin on Whidbey Island
Everything was even better than expected. The cabin is adorable and we felt immediately at home. The view and access to beach is perfection. We were so comfortable. We will definitely be returning for another stay!

Serene Waterfront Beach Cottage
Wow, what a great place in an adorable cottage. Right on the sand. Very quiet and secluded. Love watching the freighters and cruise ships go by. Saw a couple bald eagles, which is always so exciting being from California. We will be back!

Beachfront Escape on Whidbey Island
Karrie's pace was just as described and just what we needed for a multi-generational family weekend trip. We all enjoyed the place and space; the surroundings were beautiful; the sunsets were amazing. The house was well stocked; we were pleasantly surprised at how stocked it was TBH. Check-in was easy and the checkout process was great, unlike the laundry list of things to do at other places. We're already looking at rebooking for a future family trip!

WhidbeyBeachHouse oceanfront getaway 3BR·2BA·fubo
We came here for a girl’s weekend. We wanted somewhere beautiful and quiet on the water, and that’s exactly what we got! The house is clean and clutter free, the beds are comfy and the kitchen has all the basics you could need. They even had lots of technology charging stations through the house which was very handy. Highly recommend, would come again.

Alexander's man
I was hesitant to spend so much. It was not only worth it it was memorable and smelled so good. The tides the sound of the waves laping. Good folks with a slice of heaven on their doorstep.

On the Beach ! One Level w/Lawn & Watercraft
Such a great experience! So special to stay right on the beach. Beautiful! And the house had everything you could need - with clear labels and instructions. Teresa is the best host. Clear communication, welcoming, responsive and accommodating! We had an absolutely wonderful weekend.

Blue Ribbon Beach House
This was my second time staying here, last time was in 2018, and it was just as amazing this time around. Everything was just as described and even better than the pictures. The house is so clean, cozy, and well provisioned. You can tell Emily really takes great care of this place. I would absolutely stay here again!

Whidbey Island No-Bank Waterfront Beach House
This house measured up to all our expectations! Perfect for two couples who want some separation with a king size bed in one of the downstairs bedrooms. The view was soul soothing. Eagles, deer…even a couple of otters. And then there is Mt Baker in the distance. Can’t be beat. Clean, comfortable. Highly recommend!

Tranquil Lake Front Cabin
Spent 10 nights as a solo writing retreat (with my wife joining me on the weekend). Perfect for this even in mid-November. Super livable small home, south-facing right on the lake, two lakeside wall almost all windows, so daylight was beautiful. Thought it might be cold inside in November but the house is snug; heats up nicely and there are no drafts. Brad and Lisa are excellent hosts: quick to respond, helpful and friendly. It’s abundantly clear how much they love the place. Lots of small but nice touches. And then there’s the lake. We stayed here in warm weather before and enjoyed swimming, paddle boarding and rowing. But even in cold weather the lake is a treat. Ducks, loons, sunrise sparkles, evening sunsets. I have only good things to say.

Unique Lake Goodwin Waterfront Cabin with Hot Tub
This place was truly amazing and very clean ! The host was extremely friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I’ve been to many Airbnbs before, but this is the first time I was this impressed. I even extended my stay because I loved it so much. Hank made the whole trip even better — he was wonderful to deal with and really made me feel at home. The view was absolutely beautiful, and everything about the experience exceeded my expectations. I would definitely love to come back again! Soon😍

Lakefront Cabin with Water View & Hot Tub
Lily's place was an amazing stay, plenty to do, she was a great host, always responsive and had a great weekend, nice getaway with the family

Lake Ketchum "Get Away"
The lake cabin has a beautiful private yard and private beach with picnic tables, fire pit and tons of boats to play with. Really beautiful view and comfortable cabin! The sunlight is so beautiful in the afternoons as it shines throughout and leaves you with a perfect sunset later! Great family fun time or quiet getaway for a couple.

Lake Escape: Hot Tub & Sauna, Kayaks & Dock
What a beautiful home to stay at, very quiet, peaceful AND it overlooks beautiful Lake Howard with a private dock, I highly recommend a stay at The Lake House.

Mt. Erie Lakehouse
We really enjoyed our stay at Ginny and Gary’s lake house. It was immaculately clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and it had a lovely view of the lake. It was a great launching point to go see the Skagit Valley tulip festival!

Charming Waterfront Tiny House with Hot Tub
Our stay was absolutely amazing! My partner and I didn’t just rent an Airbnb we rented an experience. It’s something we’ll carry with us, and we’ll definitely be back for more. The place smelled fresh and clean, and it was clear the hosts put so much thought into every detail to make guests feel comfortable. Truly an unforgettable and honoring experience.

Lakefront Escape | Kayaks, Gazebo & Stunning Views
Amazing reading retreat at Mike's place. We were all so happy. The view of the river was beautiful and the window was large and enchanting.

Our stay at Jessie’s was amazing! Beautiful surroundings, easy check-in and check-out and just a wonderful stay overall! Hands down the best place to stay when visiting Skagit Valley. We hope to be back soon!

Anacortes Home Away from Home
It was like being at home with the tranquility and comfort. Julia's house is very nice, it has a very nice garden, it has board games that makes that family stay, and you can also walk around the neighborhood. Her son and Julia are very friendly

Entire Bluff House plus Cottage on the Salish Sea
The location of this home is stunning and set the tone of for our three day weekend with family where we celebrated birthdays. The kitchen is well equipped for making delicious meals, the accommodations are cozy, spacious and inviting. Each of the bedrooms are comfortable, private and with a view of the beautiful grounds and water. I plan to come back next year and am encouraging my friends to book this place. You will not be disappointed.

Modern A/C Home-Seattle, Boeing,Snohomish Weddings
Larissa’s house is the 10th place I have booked with Airbnb and I have to say it is absolutely perfect, is so clean, nicely furnished and had everything I needed in the kitchen for cooking most of our meals there (stayed 5 nights). The home was welcoming and well stocked with towels, bathroom essentials and comfortable beds, the neighborhood was quiet yet close to everything, ferries, parks and downtown Seattle are just a few miles away. I highly recommend and would definitely book again. Thank you for a great stay Larissa!

Sunset ocean view home, close to town
Beautiful view! We had a lovely stay here!

Spacious, New Modern Furniture, King Bed Priv Bath
We booked last-minute and found this to be a great location between downtown and our daughters who live north. Very nicely furnished with plenty of room and lots of thoughtful amenities. Excellent host! Michael provided timely communication but wasn't intrusive. Would stay again.

Monkey Hill Farm
We really felt at home for our visit. Highly recommend and will be visiting again and checking availability.

The Art House
Perfect place to stay while visiting! Peaceful and quiet! Highly recommend it!
Your guide to Whidbey Island
Welcome to Whidbey Island
This seahorse-shaped island in Puget Sound forms an idyllic sanctuary 35 miles northwest of Seattle. Nature features prominently here with six state parks, including Washington’s most-visited one, Deception Pass. Explore the pass’s cliffs and coves, as well as its iconic bridge soaring 18 stories above a current-swept saltwater channel prized by divers and kayakers. Hikes and beach walks abound across Whidbey Island, along with wildlife viewing (common critters include bald eagles, river otters, and Steller sea lions).
Cultural attractions are a big pull here, too. For great dining, head to Langley in the south, and Coupeville and Oak Harbor to the north; don’t miss the local mussels and Kumamoto oysters. Meanwhile art buffs can tour murals, galleries, studios, and two sculpture parks. With its mellow, artsy vibe, Whidbey Island makes for a dreamy getaway that’s still close to Washington’s biggest city.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Whidbey Island
Damp air rolls off the Pacific Ocean, creating lush coastal rainforests in this part of Washington. But clouds then swerve around part of Puget Sound — a phenomenon locals call “the banana belt” for its drier, sunnier conditions. The top half of Whidbey Island benefits from this phenomenon, and the island has a temperate climate overall. Temperatures rarely range outside the high 30s to high 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Expect largely dry and comfy summers, and cooler, mistier winters.
Top events include April’s Deception Pass Marathon and July’s Whidbey Island Fair. August brings Wag’n’Walk, a celebration of all things canine, plus the Tour de Whidbey, with bike rides ranging from 10 to 162 miles. September’s also busy with a marathon, jazz celebration DjangoFest NW, and the Oak Harbor Music Festival.
Top things to do in Whidbey Island
Boeing Future of Flight
Immerse yourself in aviation history and innovations at this exhibition space, three miles south of the mainland’s Mukilteo ferry dock. Boeing Future of Flight includes a drone gallery and a mock-up of the lab that helped prepare the United States’ payloads for the International Space Station. The Sky Deck offers views of Paine Field Airport, an aviation factory that’s the world’s largest building by volume, and the snow-capped North Cascade Mountains.
Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve
Trace the area’s cultural and agricultural traditions in three stunning state parks located within Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve: Fort Casey, Fort Ebey, and Ebey’s Landing. Highlights from Fort Casey include the 1903 Admiralty Head Lighthouse, a point in the “Triangle of Fire” harbor defenses to ward off potential attacks during World War II. The 5.6-mile Ebey’s Landing hike is another standout. You’ll cross prairielands and old farming fields before emerging onto the coastal bluffs with their jaw-dropping views of the Cascades and Olympic Mountains.
Price Sculpture Forest
A more-than-a-century-old forest harbors an art space that opened in fall 2020 near downtown Coupeville. This free attraction encourages visitors to “wander in wonder” — as its signature cherrywood arch declares — discovering installations such as a steel eagle and a T. rex sculpted from bark. Need another meditative moment marrying art and nature? Try Earth Sanctuary, 20 miles to the south.
