Stunningly situated on Whidbey Island's gorgeous Bush Point, this waterfront home provides breathtaking northwesterly views of Puget Sound, passing ships, incredible sunsets, and the peaks of the Olympic Mountains across the water. With 23 steps leading from the expansive deck down to 100 feet of private, sandy beach, this home is ideal for beachcombing, whale watching, birding (bald eagles are known to nest nearby), observing seals with their pups, flying kites, fishing, boating, and roaming the adjacent Smugglers Cove Beach. Inside, you'll be treated to such thoughtful updates as all-new towels and hypoallergenic bedding, gel-infused mattress toppers, dense sleeping pillows, new rugs, and all-new small appliances and Green Life healthy cookware, bakeware, and dishware. Outside, enjoy the large deck overlooking the water, a new gas grill, and a balcony off the primary suite.

During the high fishing season in August, you can throw a line directly from your beach, where salmon are known to often hug the shore (please note that the beach can become a bit busy at that time). If you're bringing your boat or kayaks, you'll love the convenient public boat launch just 100 feet away. South Whidbey State Park is only two miles north, featuring almost four miles of hiking trails that wind through an old-growth forest and along the shoreline. Downtown Freeland is five miles east, where you'll find delicious eateries, wineries, and local shops. There are nearby parks, including public gardens and leash-free dog beaches and trails, all within 10 miles of the home. Grab an amazing slice of pie and take a beautiful walk at Greenbank Farm seven miles north, and go back in time while exploring Fort Casey Historical State Park 15 miles north.

Spectacular
This was our 2nd visit here and it doesn’t disappoint. We came more prepared this time as the beach side yard is not fully fenced, so we brought temporary fencing which worked great, to keep our dogs safe. Super dog friendly home, with all the covers for protection of soft furnishings. The views can not be beaten, especially from the master bedroom! The kitchen is extremely well stocked and organized, everywhere is well decorated and designed. We will return again!

The house is wonderfully situated on the water with views of freighters and ferries, spectacular sunsets and beach walks. The community is very friendly and walkable. The owners clearly are dog lovers! Toys, towels, and everything one needs for bringing your dog. Our English lab loves it here! The kitchen has everything you could need. The bedrooms are very nice, beds comfortable, and bedding very nice. Ten stars! **********

Our beach vacation turned into a fishing trip
We had a great time at this lovely house on Whidbey. The house was comfortable and the view was great. We especially enjoyed the deck and hot tub. We were there the last full week in August through Labor Day and did not expect to have people fishing out front all day every day. We embraced the fishing and got our 7 and 5 year old boys some kids' rods and they caught some fish! We got to know the regulars who share the private stretch of beach and they said it was the best fishing in years. They even gave our boys some fishing tips. We enjoyed our stay and it was a memorable trip, but it was pretty expensive for what turned out to be a not so private beach.

Nice But Not Truly Private Beach
The house was nice, but the home is located next to public in which people can walk through property to the next beach. People did not obey the private property and used the beach anyways there was over 50 people using beach & it wasnoisy from sunrise to sunset fishing & just people using the beach. We could not enjoy the beach or use it during our stay 5 days trip. The property beach front is way to busy in the summer months if want use the beach or enjoy it!

Charming Beachfront Getaway
This beautiful, cheery home was the perfect spot for a relaxing family getaway. The views are stunning, the house is equipped with everything you might need, and doggies are made to feel like first- class citizens here! Our favorite activities included long walks with our pup on the beach and watching glorious sunsets from the hot tub.

Whidbey Island Paradise
Without a doubt, this was the most wonderful family vacation we have ever spent at any property. We fell in love with this charming, warm, and welcoming home the moment we stepped through the front door, everything was perfect. The views were just beautiful, we spent hours watching the weather doing wonderful things. Since we were there during October, there was some spectacular storms, amazing lightning shows, we even lost power for a short time but that was fun too. In summery, this lovely home is a must visit property. There is lack for nothing, it has every comfort you could hope for. We are deeply grateful to the owners for so generously allowing us to enjoy this special beach front property. We truly hope to visit again.

Don't Book This Place via VRBO!
This listing is a Vacasa managed property. If you book through VRBO, you will end up paying extra money that you will not be able to get back no matter what, even if Vacasa gives you a refund for some of their portion. A natural disaster caused a power failure at this home 5 hours into our stay and would not be repaired for multiple days, leaving us in 40° weather with no power, heat or water. Couldn't flush toilets, wash hands, cook, warm the home or charge our devices. We had no option but to leave the following morning, as there is no generator in this home and we had a 9 month old baby with us. Ultimately, we ended up paying a LOT of money to stay in this home for 5 hours with power and 14 hours without power before evacuating. It's unfortunate, because the home is lovely with wonderful views and the owners seem nice based on the evidence of the house manual. If we had a direct line of communication with them instead of having to work through VRBO and Vacasa, we likely would have had a better resolution to a weather emergency that was no fault of ours or the homeowner. We were looking forward to a few nights in this lovely home. I suggest you not book this place during the fall or winter until a generator is installed, considering the likelihood of future weather events like this increasing due to climate change.

Amazing views and great floor plan
This place has it all. Views from almost every room, open-plan living for a family, an art station and games, and a hot tub and privacy. We stayed during the winter, but this house had all the little things for our family to keep busy when the wet weather hit. The hot tub was a major plus and basically had the beach to ourselves. I’m sure it’s much busier in the summer when the weather and fishing picks up, but the large deck would make entertaining and beach time a blast.

Another wonderful stay at the Spyglass Beach House
This is our third visit to the Spyglass Beach House. The house was sparkling clean and just as lovely as we remembered it. The house has all the amenities we needed, a well stocked kitchen, easy-to-use TV set up, a rock painting station and lots of great tips and ideas in the owner’s letter. We especially liked the new tide clock by the windows, so cute and informative. This place is such a relaxing getaway, the upstairs bedroom suite is huge with floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto the water. We availed ourselves to one of the 500 piece puzzles one day. Took nice walks on the beach. And soaked in the hot tub. We look forward to coming back again!
