Rhythm Waters by AvantStay | Garden Paradise, Pond

Discover your perfect group getaway nestled just a mile from charming downtown Langley on Whidbey Island. This hidden gem, a one-bedroom haven with an additional loft room and one bathroom, rests on five acres of land surrounded by natural forests and fields. There’s even a waterfall and stream connecting two main ponds.

A curated haven of Japanese Maples, rhododendrons, irises, and evergreens adorn the landscape, accompanied by the gentle presence of water lilies. There’s even a hot tub on the deck, as well as a secret sitting area beyond the grass in the woods. Enjoy the jungle-like atmosphere of the backyard from the grassy play area, perfect for children, games, or afternoon picnics.

Inside, the world opens up through expansive windows that frame captivating views from every angle. The floor plan, thoughtfully designed, evokes the feeling of living amidst the outdoors while cocooned in complete privacy.

Across the way, The Art Box stands as a quiet companion, a hint of a neighbor, barely noticeable against the panorama of greenery. (The Art Box next door can also be yours, accommodating 2-3 more, or enjoyed separately.)

Venture just a short distance to the seaside charm of Langley or surrender to relaxation within the embrace of this retreat, with a smart TV perfect for streaming all of your favorite shows and movies.

Underwhelming
It’s an absolutely lovely property, private and close to Langley. When we arrived there were cleanliness issues: including ants, partially filled single use containers, coffee grounds in all of the drawers, and stains on the walls to name a few things… The property is so lovely, you’d expect it to be a place of refuge, but the beds are small, there are no rugs (just concrete floors), and everything is very shabby - pots, pans, couches, etc. It just wasn’t cozy. These things were not the biggest issue though… The biggest problem with this house is the septic smell from the water.

This is Paul Hand, beautiful garden, setting and cottage
The setting and location are perfect and the cottage itself is very nice. The kitchen supplies are quite limited, however. We had to purchase a sharp, knife, olive oil, and several other things that would be standard. It would be good to assess how the kitchen is stocked And update from time to time.

Quiet beautiful retreat in nature
This is our second time staying in Rhythm Waters. It is a special place. We played lawn games, board games inside and on the patio, watched a movie, enjoyed the hot tub, had a cookout on the grill, roasted s’mores on the fire pit, and took plenty of short trips around the island. We were visited by plenty of birds, and it was totally private once we were in the house. For preparation, do bring some bug spray and citronella candles to ward off mosquitos, and drinking water since the house is on well water.

We had a great time and will absolutely stay there again. The only downside is a slight odor to the water but it’s easily solvable with some bottled water. I drank the water for several days too with no issues.

Excellent Place for Langley Murder Mystery Weekend
My family and I were looking for a VRBO property to stay in during Langley's Murder Mystery Weekend, and Rhythm Waters was exactly what we were looking for. A quiet house in the woods just a few minutes drive from downtown Langley, we were able to take our time driving in for the festivities, then easily get back to look over clues and relax. Didn't have to eat out with a full kitchen available, and the one master bed and two beds in the loft gave the whole family a place to sleep. And while some of us were watching a movie on the large screen tv, others were enjoying a soak in the hot tub. If you're looking for a secluded place less than 10 minutes drive to Langley, you should really consider Rhythm Waters.

Wonderful Experience
This property is incredible - the house is lovely and comfortable and well-equipped, the gardens are impeccable, and everything was exactly as described. We had a wonderful time and would certainly stay again. Only downsides were minor: the beds aren’t particularly comfortable and we felt the communication with the property manager about expectations during a power outage could have been better. Neither would keep us from recommending this special place to our friends and family - it’s a gem.

Perfect spot for rest and relaxation.
Grounds and home were beautiful. Great hot tub. We missed the garden in full bloom by just a couple of weeks but it was still an amazing property. Our dog had an unfortunate accident on the spiral staircase and cut her leg pretty badly. I actually had to leave the island to find a vet willing to see her and get her stitched up. Not blaming the property owner in any way, just want to warn others to be extremely careful on these stairs with their pets and children. I don’t want anyone to have to go through that experience again. Overall it was an amazing place and would totally recommend it for some peace and quiet.

TRANQUIL PERFECTION!
This has got to be the best property that we have ever stayed at in the US! The grounds were simply magical and serene. The house was truly perfect in so many ways! We loved the size of the home because it was just the 2 of us. We were able to have family over for lunch and breakfast a couple of times. It is also perfect for a family or 2 couples. This is a place that we will definitely be coming back to for our next visit to the PNW. Everyone at Tara Rentals was also extremely helpful and responsive. This was one of the most relaxing environments that I have experienced and I am so grateful that we found it!

Five Days in Dreamland
From our first view of the lush gardens of Rhythm Waters to our reluctant farewell, we felt as if we were in a beautiful dream. The house is clean, spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed for our stay. Every window offers a view of Japanese maples that catch the light at different times of day, rhododendrons still in full bloom and a sweep of lawn fringed by tall evergreens. We fell asleep to the sound of the trickling stream. The house is close to the Clinton ferry dock and the town of Langley and a great vantage point for exploring South Whidbey. I was surprised to find another vacation rental right next door, but we never heard the occupants once we were in the house, which is otherwise secluded and quiet. The property management company was available and responsive to several questions that arose during our stay. We are already scanning the calendar for a possible return.!

Zen getaway....
This property was a delightful place to stay. Even though it was February, the property is beautiful even in the winter. The gardens are lovingly tended, tree/perennial placement and decks are well planned, and the privacy and views from the windows in the house were perfect. I would enjoy often resting in the main floor bedroom, reading and looking out on the pond. The living room/dining room also boasts beautiful views. The radiant floor heating was divine...with such a vast concrete floor my feet were always warm, even barefoot! The well appointed linens in the bedroom, furniture, and simplicity allowed for a soothing interior experience. We didn't use the upstairs room at all so I can't speak to that, although I am not a fan of carpet and wouldn't have wanted to. We also didn't use the hot tub but for those who would want to, the views from there would be amazing and convenient access is available to the bathroom through an outside door directly. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals (as the weather wasn't optimal for outdoor dining in town). The appliances are easy to use and reliable. The only request I would make is for a filtered water pitcher for use...the water, though drinkable, has a slight sulfur smell/aftertaste which I could only manage to drink if I cold-brewed a mint teabag in it. I don't buy bottled water so this is what I managed. Also, some bathroom hooks to hang clothes/towels on would be fabulous. However, none of those mentions would take away from my husband and I staying here again. What an exquisite, lovely home....I am so grateful for the opportunity to have stayed here. And as other reviewers have said, this pictures don't do justice...it is truly a gem. Thank you again for such a memorable and nourishing stay!

Super Cool Property
Overall we were big fans of this place. The house is beautiful and the property is peaceful (obviously the key feature). Working with the property manager was so easy. We did struggle understanding the parking instructions based on where the actual signage was set up in the "parking lot", and there weren't any designated spots since two were already taken by other guests. We didn't know if our cars would be in the way if we just parked in the middle of the lot, but we did arrive when it was dark making it a bit harder to tell. The landscapers arrived on our one and only full day at the house which was a bit awkward since they can see inside the house through all of the floor to ceiling windows (gorgeous). They spent half the day working away so we weren't able to go out and use the space as much as we'd hoped, plus it got pretty loud at one point with them blowing leaves and such. We would definitely stay here again though. Awesome location and great kitchen!
