Elegant get-away with breathtaking views of the water, beach, and wetlands

This three-story home is uniquely situated between one of Whidbey’s most beautiful beaches and Deer Lagoon. From the top floor, enjoy 360 degrees of stunning views, watch sunsets or passing ships, stare across the water at Mt. Rainier or over the wetlands at herons, eagles and flocks of migrating birds. On the main floor, enjoy the warmth of exposed wood beams, a newly remodeled and well-equipped kitchen and unobstructed wetland views coupled with peak-a-boo views of the beach. You will be sipping your morning coffee on a balcony overlooking the wetlands with only the birds to keep you company. South Whidbey’s most celebrated beach, Double Bluff Park, is just a 10 minute walk away or a couple minutes’ drive straight down the street. There you can enjoy a stroll down the beach, hours of fun in the sand and in the water. The home sleeps 6, with three bedrooms, 1 king, 2 queen beds. It has two bathrooms and two living rooms. Great for families, with a large backyard, basketball hoop, ping pong table, badminton rackets and gas BBQ to keep the family entertained. At the end of the day head to Freeland (8 minute drive), historic Langley (18 minute drive) or quaint Coupeville (30 minutes drive) for fine dining, antiquing and great shopping. Kayak rentals available in Langley. For those visiting from afar, day trips to Seattle 1 ½ hours away.

Pros- Location, peaceful, close to shops, viewing decks, interior was not cluttered with knick knacks and non-essential furniture, newer windows, comfy bed, nice showerCons- Figuring out the light switches and master bedroom heater, clothes dryer did not work well, could not find working flashlights during tsunami warning, cleaning crew missed the mark.The area is incredibly peaceful, zen, and calming. Great place to unwind from the stress of life.

Beach house bliss

We had a lovely stay… our second time here. Great location and quiet street for kids to play and meet other kids in the summertime! Adjacent to a wildlife sanctuary with lots of birdwatching opportunities, as well as views to the sound. Plenty of entertainment with games and open yard for play. Double Bluff Beach within walking distance offers miles of sandy beach.

Great Stay on Whidbey!

This was a great home base for our time on Whidbey. The house comes well equipped and has a very comfortable feel to it. We really enjoyed the street/neighborhood and the beautiful views from both the front and back of the house. The owners are great about communicating.

Great for a getaway with friends

We had a terrific time staying at this beautiful home. The close proximity to Double Bluff Beach was perfect for both morning and afternoon walking. We had a blustery day on Saturday and it was thrilling to watch the kite surfing. The home itself is wonderful. Very clean inside with many blankets for keeping warm. The gas fireplace on the main floor gave the home a cozy feel. We had a lot of fun playing ping pong as well. I have a feeling we'll be back.

Quiet beach house

Great house - comfy beds & well stocked kitchen. You can look out the front windows at the water or the back windows at a nature preserve with pelicans & so many birds. One highlight was a great horned owl perched on the mailbox Saturday night.

A breath of Fresh Air

The house was a wonderful place to relax. Easy walk to the beach. Sat in the sand watching the water and eagles. It was a much-needed break from the busyness of life. Pelicans were fun to watch in the marsh a nice walk in the other direction. Depending on the time of day, the bugs going across the marsh were thick. My covid mask came in handy there. I could breathe and watch the pelicans eating. I would recomend this home.

The perfect location!

We originally booked the beach house for two nights, and we loved it so much we decided to add on a third night! Markus was beyond easy to communicate with and very responsive. Checking in and out was a breeze and the house itself was perfect for my family of 5. Things to note if you're planning to visit, it's not baby proofed, so bring your own gates or plan to set up a safe area like we did if you have very young children. There are minimal curtains, so if you or your kids are used to blackouts that's something to consider. The beds are comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and pillows. The upstairs loft is one of the best parts of the house with beautiful views all around! The private beach at useless bay is absolutely fantastic! Google for the low tide, but it's pretty great all day long. Would absolutely stay again!

Freeland family vacation.

This was the perfect spot and home for our family vacation. We had 6 people. Three were children 6,5 and 3. Our main goal was to explore the beach for swimming, fresh air and learning about nature. Mission accomplished. We learned everything about nature from tides to angels found in sand dollars. There was birds and wildlife galore. Bald Eagles, otters, fox and the howling of coyotes at night. What beautiful memories. Thanks Markus for letting us use your home and your rapid responses with any questions I had. Would come back in a heart beat.😊

The best side of Useless Bay

The west side of Useless Baybis the best side. Quiet, quaint, and tucked between beautiful wetlands and the beach. We loved the third level loft. You can clearly see Seattle and the Sound. We cooked in and ate out. You are in close proximity to Langley and Freeland. IMHO this is the best location on the south side of the island.

Just right for a family spring break vacation!

The location is great. Not directly on the beach, but this worked well for us. The beach access is a short walk on a not-busy road. The beach has a view of Mt. Rainier and Seattle, is very sandy and super wide at low tide. Tons of sand dollars! My kids dug in the sand and explored for hours. The water was shallow and gentle. The house has a delightful backyard with shade, a deck for grilling, with views of wildlife and birds in the marsh. We set up the badminton net and croquet course found in the garage which kept our kids entertained on breaks from the beach. The two of them each had a bedroom on the ground floor, with French doors that open onto the backyard. They loved their rooms! The master bedroom on the main floor and “Eagles nest” room on third floor were both very comfortable with great views. The house is tastefully furnished and appointed with many engaging details, such as a bird guide and binoculars, books and games. We had everything we needed for a great week!

Peaceful and quiet location and great family house

We had a delightful time at this property during Washington school vacation week. The house is clean and had everything we needed for a restful week of beach walks, bird-watching, cribbage games (we forgot our board and there was one on site!), and Whidbey sightseeing. The host was very responsive and easy to deal with.
