Orca Ridge on Resort Road by AvantStay | A+ Views
Seize an opportunity to taste a new lifestyle! Experience Whidbey Island in luxury at this Frank Lloyd Wright-style home with stunning water views from almost every room.
Sitting on almost 5 acres of land, your group will enjoy peace, quiet, and beach access from a set of stairs on the property. The large patio areas offer the perfect chance to relish the 180-degree waterfront views, soak in the hot tub, or fire up the grill. There's even a newly added tennis court and a chance to spot eagles flying overhead.
Inside, the large kitchen comes fully equipped, while the newly-added family and game room features a ping pong table. An extra bonus, this home offers you the chance to take a "green vacation" as it's 100% powered by the sun (minus the gas cooking). Every month, we're eliminating over 1000 lbs of CO2 emissions.
Spread out between three beautifully decorated bedrooms, plus a bonus room. The primary bedroom features a king bed, trundle twin beds, and an ensuite bathroom. You'll find queen beds in the other two bedrooms, trundle twin beds in the living room, plus a queen-size sleeper sofa. With one more trundle bed in the game room and 3.5 bathrooms, your entire crew will have the space they need.
Centrally located on the island, you'll have easy access to Greenbank Farms, Langley, Coupeville, and many nearby beaches. Visit Mutiny Bay Distillery, Homes Harbor Wine Cellars, Blooms Winery, or play golf at Holmes Harbor Golf Club—all less than a 5-minute drive away. Visit the stunning views of Deception Pass, take a hike at Ebey's landing, or see the history at Fort Casey.
If you want to stay close to home, there's plenty of room to play in the yard. Take a walk/hike to Meerkerk Garden, pick apples in the orchard, collect seashells, and view wildlife.

Beautiful home
This home is beautiful and has a great view. Being able to bring our pup was also a bonus, he loved running around the back yard. The shower head in the primary bath needs to be cleaned or replaced as it sprays on the walls and not you. We found mice had eaten food left on the counter, so be ware. The kitchen cabinets are really loud, so who ever sleeps in the living room should be a heavy sleeper. Overall, it was a great stay.

Christmas at Orca Ridge
Beautiful home- just right for our week-long family holiday celebration. Our only issues were mildew in the jacuzzi bathtub and running out of propane (so no heat in 13 degree weather) on the last day of our stay. Otherwise, we loved the location and layout of the house. Beautiful views of the water and great walks on the beach.

Incredible Weekend
We stayed 3 night at this beautiful house. We were 3 couples relaxing, playing games, and enjoying the few. Although the master bed was too soft, there was plenty of room for all of us.

We stayed at the Greenbank property for part of a recent family vacation in the Seattle area. Whidbey Island and the house were definitely highlights of our trip! The house and setting are lovely and the pictures don't do either justice. We would love to return again.

We really enjoyed this property for a long weekend family retreat. The house was the perfect size for our extended family and dogs and the fenced backyard was awesome. The views of Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier were amazing and the location was peaceful and serene.

Amazing house, incredible view!
Sprawling house on incredible property. We brought two dogs, and they loved running in the fenced backyard. Every bedroom had amazing views of the water. Kitchen was very well stocked, dual dishwashers were a nice touch (although overkill for just the 3 of us). Tech at the house (TVs, WiFi, etc.) was well maintained and easy to use. We used this as a bit of a COVID escape, it was just what we needed. Close enough to Freeland grocery and Langley downtown, but remote enough to feel really "out in the country"... spectacular.

Great home!
Great time. Great place to relax and escape the city.
4 stars because the landscapers came during our stay and one coughed on me. (During the corona pandemic) so that really sucked.

Bliss
We just arrived back home from a five day stay and we were so sad to leave!! The property is bright, relaxing, well maintained with the exception of a few minor wear and tear things but we would absolutely return. We saw a gray whale twice just off shore and it stayed feeding for hours. The lawn and view are fantastic. Only word of caution is that the beach is not that easy to walk on (rocky and lots of mussels) but we did it anyway and enjoyed it. Great home!

The property is quite large, but does not have sufficient bedrooms.
The property is quite large and ha a beautiful view. However the grounds need to be better maintain in the master bathroom shower needs to re-grouted. The 4pm check-in is inconvenient and limits your stay. The jacuzzi was not ready until the next day because it needed to be serviced.
