Year Round Beachfront Escape. Mountain Views, Hot Tub, Dedicated Retreat Room

Welcome to Salt and Soul Beach House, a premium year-round seaside retreat for families, friends, retreats and offsites.

This expansive house is nestled on a private shy acre overlooking stunning SE views of Holmes Harbor, Saratoga Passage, and the Cascades - providing front-row seats to wildlife and dramatic sea-skyscapes.

We are located about 20 minutes from the ferry, halfway between Langley and Coupeville with the historic Greenbank Farm within a quick walk. Our centrally located, well stocked home is perfect for those who come to the island for hiking, biking, excursions and strolls through the historic towns OR for those who plan to stay on property to connect, cook, eat and enjoy the sanctuary of the beach and grounds.

With five bedrooms, four comfortable sitting rooms, and outdoor spaces galore, Salt and Soul Beach House lets you and your people to spread out and do whatever calls in that moment. Activities in this well equipped house could include cooking, swimming, birdwatching, beach-combing, hot tubbing, games and just catching up with your people. Luxury linens, Mexican beach blankets, yoga mats, board games, puzzles and life jackets are available on-site. Bring your own paddle boards (all water use at your own risk, we do not provide water craft.)

The house is designed for all different types of group trips. Girls trip? A retreat for your clients, team or business? Mom and daughters group? A few small families? Family reunion? We are ready for it.

Plan your experience today. Inquiries prior to bookings welcome. We have a 5 night minimum in the peak season (June - Labor Day), 2 night minimum September - early June. We also offer retreat planning support.

Big water view in Greenbank
Large house on a hill with a fabulous east view of the Sound, very private. Like most rentals, the house has some quirky spaces, but we enjoyed staying there. Good walking beach when the tide is low.

peaceful and spacious beachfront home
We had a great family reunion at this lovely home. The decks, large yard, and lowbank beachfront give you lots of space to roam. The 5 bedrooms and 4 common spaces make it easy for everyone to find their own space for fun or quiet times. The kitchen is super well equipped for cooking projects. All the decor is modern and tasteful. Highly recommend.

Lovely, groovy, uber relaxing retreat
Loved this stay! Incredibly beautiful, peaceful home and as it says in the name - soulful. Comfort and cozy is in every detail and the view is breathtaking. Perfect place for any sized group and if you’re looking for a chance to view wildlife, migrating birds, rainbows, sunrises and sunsets you’ve found your destinations. We got them all! Our host was fantastic as well - spot on with her reccomendations and responded immediately. She left us lovely snacks to nibble on and the house is stocked like a real home. We plan to book her house again next year for our work retreat and our book club/yoga getaways! So glad we found this gem!

Beautiful waterfront retreat
Absolutely beautiful home, right on the water! Our host thought of everything! The home has 3 living rooms, plus a large meditation/ yoga room with a fireplace. Yoga mats are there too! I can’t say enough about the kitchen, it’s equipped with everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed many walks on the beach, the awesome sunrise, coffee on the deck, hot tub, the setting is perfect! It’s very quiet, with nature all around. We went shopping in Coupville and Langley, great shops! My only complaint is that our stay was too short, next time we will stay longer!

A wonderful weekend getaway
Thank you Elisabeth for opening up your lovely home for my weekend away with friends. The house was gorgeous, clean, and well stocked. We found the layout of the house great for lounging, cooking and eating together as a group, and hanging out down at the fire pit was a highlight. The beach was perfect for long walks exploring the shoreline. My whole group loved the house and will definitely be back again when we can!

This was a five day celebration for my 80th birthday, and included all my children and grandchildren and a couple of long-time friends. The house was beautiful, and everything was well-appointed. I took the downstairs bedroom, which has a great sunrise view.

Incredible place!
Elisabeth’s place at Greenbank was fantastic! We had a great family gathering with family members ranging in age from 2 years old to 70+! The yard is huge and the beachfront is serene and quiet. The whole yard and area feels secluded. The house has everything you need to stay entertained even if the weather isn’t great and there’s tons of room for everybody to run around!

Relaxing Family Retreat
Our group of three families really enjoyed our stay for many reasons; the location directly on a quiet beach, thoughtfully equipped rooms to gather together to eat, play games, stretch/exercise, relax and reconnect. All the rooms had comfortable beds & luxurious bedding so we all slept well. The views from the hot tub were a big bonus and everyday there was wildlife to see. Thank you to our hosts providing excellent information about the home itself, the surrounding area, places to eat, see and do. Highly recommended!!

Exceptional and Stunning
From the moment we set foot on this charming property we were captivated by the sweeping views (including Mt. Ranier on a clear day) and beautiful interior. From the spacious and comfortable accommodations to the luxurious linens to the exceptionally curated decor, this property checked all the boxes for our extended family get-together. Even more beautiful than the photos, this property was exactly as promised and fit our needs in every way. The hosts were welcoming but not intrusive, and eager to ensure our stay was exceptional. 10 out of 10 we recommend this property, and 10 out of 10 we will return again!

Great Beach Getaway!
Elisabeth and Rian were the perfect hosts! They were super responsive anytime we had questions and made the whole process really easy. The property is tucked in a super quiet area in the north part of the Island. We got to see lots of wildlife and enjoy incredible views from the expansive decks, and spend lots of time on the beach. The house has very comfortable beds and ample towels both for the house and for the beach. There was a boathouse with some paddle boards and kites. Although it is technically "beachfront" there is a bit of a steep hill to climb (no steps) to get to and from the beach but we had age ranges between 2yrs old and 78yrs old and nobody had trouble. There is a road right next to the house for community members to use their boats, so someone with mobility issues might choose to take that route to get to the beach instead of the grass hill. The house does have some steps in the entrance and for the dark room which is kind of like a sunken living room, so just note that if you have toddlers you might need to bring a baby gate or watch them very closely. The upstairs does get very warm on sunny days but the downstairs stayed nice and cool the whole time. It had ample space for our group with 3 rooms with queen beds, one king bed in the master, and a room with a double bunk as well as 3.5 baths. Overall this is an excellent property to stay at for small or large groups alike and we would love to come back to visit!
