KINGFISHER BEACH HOUSE - Right on the beach - Recently lowered summer rates.

Whether looking for a couple's retreat, a weekend with friends, or a family getaway to build sand castles and driftwood forts, the Kingfisher Beach House is the perfect combination of architectural and natural beauty. Nestled peacefully toward the end of a forgotten beach road, this home brings the Olympic Mountains and Admiralty Inlet into every moment of your vacation.
The 'Kingfisher' is so close to the beach that we built it on stilts and, from almost every angle of this angular home, you are greeted by water. At night, you will fall asleep to the chuckle of churning waves, and in the morning your eyes will open to soft light painted on the snow-capped Olympic Mountains. Once inside, you are surrounded by craftsmanship at its very best. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and baking, and the open floor plan allows you to be part of the action while you create. The main house has three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, a walk through closet for stowing your stowables, and a two-headed shower to refresh you after your day of fun. Downstairs are two more bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and the other with twin-size bunk beds. The main level shower was designed after a Japanese shower room - large enough for multiples, with a deep soaking tub and showering area all in this same room. Feel free to let your kids splash until their splashers are tired, as this entire room was designed to get wet. This home was just completed and is now ready for you and your friends and family to relax at the beach.

While staying at the Kingfisher, you will experience this wonderful beach location with the comfort and privacy rarely experienced on beach property. Walk 200 yards south down the beach and you will be exploring over a mile of undeveloped, protected beach and tidelands. On any given walk, you and your friends and family will be sharing this space with kingfishers, eagles, osprey, seals, otters, and all of the tide-pool critters that live in the shallows of the Puget Sound. Keep your eyes on the water while you are cooking dinner or sitting on the deck and you might also see the porpoises patrol the beach. Please note that during the salmon run you can put on your hip-waders, secure a buzz bomb to your favorite pole, and cast with abandon. It is a well-kept, local secret that this beach yields some of the best salmon fishing on the island. If you have kayaks, bring them along, for a quick shove off from your beach will have you exploring some of the most beautiful coastline on South Whidbey.

The house has WiFi and smart TV, and is the perfect place to sit by the fire and watch the game. The deck has Adirondack chairs to lounge in and a propane grill at the ready so that you can feed the loungers.

I guess the big rule for the house is to have fun - lots of it! My main, humble asking is that you treat our family home with respect. We love this place! The home was built so that your family and mine can enjoy the beach for years to come.


Thank you so much for your interest and please enjoy the beach.

Andy and Maggie

This home is wonderful in every way from the beautiful architecture and views out of every window to the comfortable beds and even to the games and puzzles (and yes we did three puzzles during our stay and all three had all the pieces!) The kitchen is easy to use and nothing was out of order in the house. The location is absolutely stunning. Lots of walks on the beach, especially during low tide, will give our family a lifetime of amazing memories including watching many bald eagles fishing, deer walking across the beach, and finding cute bunnies in the yard. Andrew was a fantastic host and we hope to stay here again in the future.

Wonderful escape
What a great getaway house! It is well-appointed, and the kitchen has everything we need. It was great to be able to charge our vehicle at the house. The beach was amazing for long walks, and terrific mountain biking was close by. The house is exactly as presented in the VRBO description, and the owner was easily accessible. We will be back.

What a trip! This is our 3rd stay here and we were blessed with a May heat wave that allowed us to actually have some water play with the kids. Sun or rain, though, this place is just a wonderful place for us to get away. Andy is the best host we've had and that continued this trip. Highly recommend!

All The Elements
We celebrated an anniversary with our family at this beautiful home. We were treated with days of sunny, spring weather, walks on the beach, bald eagle sightings, Rainier on the horizon, and the warming fire pit at night. Toss in fabulous meals, both at the house and the surrounding coastal communities, and we had all the elements of a memorable family vacation. Thank you!

Winter getaway
The Kingfisher Beach House is our favorite place to rent on Whidbey Island. The location is convenient to the ferry and the charming town of Langley. However, once you enter this gorgeous home, you may never want to leave! The house is pristine and elegant in design and function. From the fully stocked kitchen to the spa like showers, we were able to fully relax and enjoy our winter vacation. Every day was spent walking the beach for hours at low tide, watching birds and crashing waves, breathing in fresh ocean air. Our stay was truly enhanced by the thoughtful owner via messages and a wonderful welcome gift from local businesses. Thanks to Andy for the best impromptu getaway during the busy holiday season. It was effortless, rejuvenating and such a wonderful place to bond with our family.

Absolutely gorgeous location
We stayed for 3 nights, and it was lovely. Check in/check out couldn't have been easier. The house is thoughtfully designed and appointed. The kitchen has everything you will need to cook. The primary bed, is super comfortable. We didn't use the others. The main attraction however, is the proximity to the beach. The tide was out in the early morning and late afternoon, perfect for walking. There is a easy to use fire pit in the backyard, really beautiful ambience. And the locations is fantastic. It feels very private and yet you are close to everything. I hope to return again soon! Thank you!

Just right
Kingfisher Beach House is a superb location for simply checking out, or for exploring Whidbey Island. Nested at the very end of the road, it is quiet and private. It would be highly suitable for littles on bikes to safely ride around. The beach is very accessible, even for the grandparents. The views. Wow. Bring your binoculars and your camera. So much natural light. Very nice on a winter day. Comfy beds, nice towels, well equipped kitchen - win. I reccommend it and would go back.

Wonderful stay for a long birthday weekend. The kitchen and house are very well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The views simply can't be beat and the beach access is only a few feet away. Wonderful design and use of natural light. The king bed and upper loft area were a real treat. We found the water pressure in the showers to be very light (even when only one was on) but it just required some patience.

Beautiful, comfortable and family friendly!
The Kingfisher Beach House is a true gem. This charming property is not only well-appointed but also a haven of peace and tranquility. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by its incredible beauty and thoughtful design. The interior of the house is nothing short of exquisite, with every detail meticulously crafted. It's evident that this is a place where luxury meets comfort. This was such a special place to stay and we are so grateful for the opportunity! Cooking in the kitchen was an absolute dream. I wish it was like an Ikea showroom so I could scan the barcodes of everything in the house and purchase it at the end of the trip. One remarkable aspect of this property is its exceptional family-friendliness. We had our 3-year-old and almost 1-year-old, and the accommodations were perfectly suited for them. The layout and amenities catered to their needs, making our stay stress-free. The attention to detail in this regard was greatly appreciated. My daughter absolutely loved the huge library of wonderful children's books and it absolutely made our stay! Our stay here was nothing short of exceptional, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable beachfront escape.

A Place of Peace and Beauty
I wish that I could share with you all the beautiful and magical sunsets, clear starlit skies, and the precious memories captured here at the Kingfisher Beach House and along its magnificent beach. Maybe when you visit you’ll be able to see a family of seals playing offshore, or the deer prancing on the beach, or eagles soaring above and the elegant seabirds hunt for clam and crab. You’ll hear the lapping of the waves and the gleeful laughter of children playing along the beach…you’ll smell the salt air and see how beautiful and serene the world can be when we take the time to embrace its magic. Everyone mentioned that as soon as they walked through the front door, they felt relaxed. When you stay at the Kingfisher’s Beach House it is as if you have entered another world…one so beautiful and serene that words fail to do it justice. You’ll have to visit.
