Whidbey House 3 BR 2 BA Porch & Patio: Walk to Golf & Beach Sleeps 6-7
The Whidbey House is a luxurious 1,850 SF, three-bedroom, two-bath handicap-accessible vacation home. Located in Freeland’s upscale Holmes Harbor neighborhood, it is close 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 smart TV, satellite TV, and an office area with PC and printer. 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.
Our home is designed for accessibility and safety for all guests, whether you're traveling with young children, managing mobility concerns, or simply appreciating an easy, step-free layout. Everything is on one level, with wide doorways and smooth, well-lit paths from your car to the entrance, including step-free access through both the kitchen and garage doors. Inside, you’ll find thoughtfully placed grab bars, comfort-height toilets, and, in the master bath, a walk-in shower. The tub-shower in the hall bath has added supports for safe entry and exit, which many parents find helpful when bathing kids.
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.

The Whidbey House is probably the best equipped rental I've stayed in. It was like being at home, where anything we needed was available, especially in the kitchen (although the knives could use a little sharpening). The home was immaculate, directions were clear, and communication with the owners was great. Temperatures were below 40 degrees during our visit, but the house had heating controls in every room, so it was never an issue to keep warm. They also let us park in the garage, so we didn't have to worry about scraping ice off the windshield. Great having a washer and dryer available, although we didn't need to use it. There were just two of us, but this house can easily accommodate more guests. It's tastefully decorated and I'd highly recommend this property!

I have had many pleasant experiences with VRBO but the experience at Whidbey House was just about perfect. The hosts were helpful and responsive, the property is beautiful and we had everything we needed and much more. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to use and the water was always hot! As a bonus, we were visited daily by a family of deer. I cannot think of any element that is missing from this lively Whidbey Island vacation spot.

The Whidbey House was amazing! Anne and Rick made our stay so easy. The house was very clean and spacious. There was everything you could possibly need at the house too. Just add family and food and you’ll never want to leave! The little Target shopping cart was an instant hit with our 2.5 year old and will definitely be added to the Christmas list this year! Thank you for the idea! Overall, great stay in a great house! We just wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Whidbey House was a lovely property. A real home from home. We really enjoyed our stay, especially the visits from the deer and rabbits. Rick was very responsive with a couple of queries that we had. Freeland was a great base for exploring Whidbey Island, explore off the beaten track a little and you will find some real gems, we can recommend Island Art Glass, for some beautiful glass work. If we were staying in the area again, we would love to return to Whidbey House.

The house was on a quiet street within easy access of local beaches and towns. The kitchen was fully stocked as promise, the rooms well laid out, and the check-in smooth. More importantly, the owner was very gracious when he realized, and gently let me know that I had only reserved one night when I thought that I had reserved two nights. We scrambled back to the house and were very relieved to see that the owner and the cleaning staff had things well under control and couldn’t have been more considerate and concerned for our predicament.
