Our Best Whidbey Island Experience

We have stayed at numerous Whidbey Island properties over the last several years in Maxwelton, Sandy Point, Freeland, Greenbank, Coupeville, Harrison Lagoon, Penn Cove, and other locations. Hands down, this is the most amazing house we have ever stayed at. The house is incredible -- fully-stocked with everything you could possibly need, a spacious kitchen/dining room/living room area, a separate office, and three beautiful bedrooms. It is quiet and private, and the outdoor space is awesome -- covered (but sunny), with a perfect western view of the water, the Olympic mountains, and beautiful sunsets. The house itself has "soul" -- beautiful wood everywhere, fantastic art throughout the house, and genuine family touches in every room. This is not just a generic house -- it is an actual family home, and you can feel that in every room.The owners (who live locally in the Seattle area) are genuine, responsive and dedicated to taking care of everything you need.And the location is perfect -- close to Langley and Freeland (which have great restaurants, grocery stores, and even pickleball courts you can rent), and lots of beaches and parks.If you're looking for the perfect place for a family vacation, this is it.

Whidbey Island Beach Home

I cannot say enough about how great a home this is. We had 8 family members, and we were all easily accommodated. A great location, solidly-built beach cottage vibe, wonderful kitchen and great room, and sunsets over the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains that you have to see to believe. We will definitely book it again

Another Wonderful Stay

This was our 4th year here and I think it’s become a family tradition. Our 5 year old granddaughter is already asking when we can go back to the Adventure House. As usual it had everything we needed including 2 bikes and a canoe.

The Best Beach House!

Repeat visit. This house is just amazing. I return for the art - such a compliment to the view. My family loves it for the location, ease and amenities. This is one of the best stocked houses you’ll find. The owners obviously stay there a lot and are gracious to allow vacationers to enjoy their lovely spot and home. Thank you again!!

Another Stay at Ella’s

Just perfect from check in to check out. Ror had this home set up for a couple like my wife and I or for 12 person groups, with one of everything plus much much more. Great location and beach to explore. Too many eagles to count flying by and wonderful beach fires. We’ll be back again for our fourth stay.

Hawaii at Maxwelton

The private community beach was just what we needed. Relaxed right away and had a full week of sun and breeze. We hosted a barbecue on the spacious deck for a few family members and all were impressed. The comfortable beds and lovely interior helped us enjoy.

Birthday Weekend at the Beach

Absolutely beautiful sunny April weekend on Whidbey and it was made completely perfect with a wonderful and seamless stay at Ella’s Beach House. This home was immaculate, comfortable, fully stocked, and right on the water boasting a view of pristine sunsets! This home allowed the right amount of space and access to all outdoor beach activities as well as creating a cozy and warm environment for evening dinners and family time. Our daughter’s birthday weekend with friends and family was made perfect by staying at Ella’s Beach House. It is beautiful and we are looking forward to staying again!

Beautiful Beach House

This is an absolutely stunning home. The location is spectacular. We stayed over Thanksgiving, and the kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook a large meal. There were plenty of puzzles and games to keep the kids entertained, along with beach toys and beach chairs. A few things to note: there isn’t a fully enclosed portion of the yard, which the owners did state ahead of time. This wasn’t a problem for us, since our dog doesn’t wander. The stairs are also somewhat steep and just hardwood. Our dog struggled with those, and I would assume they would be difficult for someone with mobility issues. Overall, we had an amazing time and would love to visit again.

Perfect Beach House

Our extended family loved this house and would move in tomorrow given half a chance :) !! The house is literally on the beach and so quiet we barely saw anyone the entire weekend. Everything you could possible need is provided - it really does feel like home. Dinner on the deck with sunset as a backdrop, and waking up to the view from the master bedroom were the highlights for me. Thanks for a memorable stay!

Wonderful Whidbey

Perfect spot for an easy getaway from Seattle. Everything about our stay was perfect. Our kids were able to do remote learning and would run out back door to play on the beach during breaks and after "school." House was clean, well stocked, and the communication with the owner was the best I've experienced in all my rental experiences. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!
