About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterfront. 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 kitchens. Quiet neighborhood.

Sparkling clean waterfront home tucked in amongst cedar and fir trees on a saltwater bay. Quiet neighborhood with a 180-degree water and island view. Twenty-five minutes from Mt. Vernon, five minutes from La Conner, twenty-five minutes from Anacortes ferry. The stairs to the beach are off-limits until March 2025 for repairs.

This 3-level home is perfect for up to six guests - all levels with their own queen bed and bathroom. There are two open living areas with two kitchens, plus a third bedroom/bath in the loft. Both the main level and the downstairs levels have access to the outdoors/beach. Due to the high bluff, we DO NOT accommodate children under 12.

Rates are for two people. Extra guests over the original two are an additional $30 per night including children over 12. Very strict pet policy: A standard $100 fee for pets for up to three days. If more than 3 days, we will charge an extra $30 per night. ONLY pets under 20 lbs and non-shedding. Limit one pet per booking.

You will receive directions and key information from VRBO's "Welcome Guide" 3 days before check in.

You can go for a walk right out the front door or to the beach. The beach is rocky and full of driftwood and small pebbles. It is not sandy, nor conducive to laying on the sand getting a tan! It's for walking on. Bring walking shoes.

Our neighbors are close, but with fences. We have never had any complaints about noisy neighbors. It's a quiet neighborhood. One guest complained about no blinds on the windows and the sunlight bothered them. There is a separate living/kitchen area on the lower level that does have blinds.

La Conner offers fine dining, pubs, cafe's, coffee shops, music, art galleries, tulips in April, the farm festival in the fall, and a boardwalk along the Channel.

Big Cedar is near the Whidby Island Naval Air Station. Occasionally they fly over La Conner. They do not fly on weekends. We want you to be informed as we never know when, or if, they will be flying (except NOT on weekends.) You cannot hear take-offs or landings - more of a dull roar in the distance.

Please note that our property is non-smoking. Neither is this property suitable for children under 12.

Have fun, be safe, and understand that any use of the property is at your own discretion and at your own risk.

Beautiful and quiet setting within a short drive from the Hope Island Beach Club wedding venue was perfect for us. The house worked great for 3 adults with plenty of space for all of us. The quaint town of LaConner is a gem with wonderful restaurants and lovely sunset walks along the water.

My daughter and I were looking for a place to spend a few days together before she goes off to college and we had the most magical time here. Everything is gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. Very clean, quiet, and such a beautiful home. The view is mesmerizing!

Beautiful home, amazing views, great location
Our family enjoyed our stay here immensely! The large windows provided beautiful views of the water all day long, with some amazing sunsets. The home was clean, spacious and comfortable. The stairs down to the waterfront could use a little TLC but are definitely manageable. We especially liked walking the waterfront at low-tide. The home has immediate neighbors on either side but we rarely saw them. We liked that it was in a quiet neighborhood but not too far from downtown La Conner (about 10 minutes) and easy access to roads to Anacortes & Deception Pass (20 minutes) and close access to the North Cascades scenic highway. The jets from the nearby base can be heard occasionally but we live near an airport and have learned to tune those things out and didn't bother us. We wish we could've stayed longer and explored the cute shops and restaurants in La Conner. We appreciated the powerful hot water heater that allowed us to do laundry and shower at the same time! We (gas) grilled once and it worked great, but charcoal was available. After a long day of hiking in the Cascades we wanted to relax with a DVD we brought, and I had completely missed that the house didn't have a DVD player! However the owner was quick to respond and dropped one off within minutes! Fantastic communication. We don't often say we want to come back to a rental home, but can confidently say we'd come back to this one! Thank you for sharing your home.

Lovely view. Stairs to beach. Great sunsets. There is only one TV and it is in the living room. I like to have a TV in the bedroom too. Well equipped. Comfortable bed on main floor bedroom. I didn't stay in the upstairs or downstairs.

The house is well maintained and very comfortable. Spotless clean! The view is magnificent! Stairway to beach, which is all rock and driftwood and found many pieces of seaglass. Great location for visiting the tulip fields. Very safe area.

Fabulous Tulip 🌷 Adventure
What a lovely VRBO. The house had everything we needed, and the location was handy to LaConner and thd tulip fields. The sunset was amazing and watching sea lion play in the water was extra special. The stairs to the beach were easily accessible, and they’ve seen a few storms, but do the trick. The beach is lovely. Others mentioned the flyboys from Whidby Air Station, but the overhead flights added to the ambiance of the stay. I love soaking in all characteristics of the location. I will definitely stay here again!

The house has an absolutely astounding view. So nice that it's tempting to stay inside and just watch the world. The property is pristine and well decorated, and the hosts are kind and easy to talk to. This is my second visit here. I liked it so much on my first visit that I had to bring some visiting friends from out of town here. They had a blast bird watching and absolutely loved the spectacular view.
