I recently rented out this property for a 3-day weekend to celebrate my 40th birthday! I have many fond childhood memories of Whidbey and Mutiny Bay and couldn't wait to relive some of them and share this beautiful spot with family and friends. This is a LOVELY home, clean and well appointed.

The greatest thing about this home is that it is ON THE BEACH! There are several rental properties on Whidbey, but few have beach access such as this! It was absolutely amazing! It was so great to feel as though you were a million miles away, yet there is a full-size grocery store 2 minutes away. Everyone agreed that it was a small slice of heaven to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of crashing waves! It just doesn't get any better than this!

We were all thoroughly impressed with the accommodations! I would highly recommend this property to anyone! It's a wonderful spot year-round!

Outstanding for the Holiday

Review submitted: December 8, 2012   Date of arrival: November 22, 2012

We rented this house for the Thanksgiving weekend. We had 9 people staying in the house. The kitchen was large enough for 4 people to cook.

The house was everything as advertised. 4 bedrooms, right on the beach, nice deck, and wonderful sunsets. We were able to spend a cold night outside around the fire pit on the deck. The kitchen was large and well equipped for serious cooking. 2 minor comments, one of the bedrooms had 2 bunk beds and is most approriate for children. The other 3 bedrooms were large, pleasant, and good for couples. The television and DVD were complicated to figured out and instructions would have been helpful. Overall, very highly satisfied with our stay and would highly recommend.

My bridesmaids and I stayed here in late September for the weekend of my wedding, and we had such a wonderful weekend! The home is gorgeous and in great condition. The kitchen was perfect for making community meals and the views from the patio were amazing. The owners were so easy to work with. I'd definitely stay here again.

My husband and I, along with our two children ages 10 & 12 rented this house to spend our Thanksgiving holiday last year 2009. We had a wonderful stay, the house was warm and comfortable, very spacious and they kids enjoyed the beach even though it was cooler temperatures. The best part about it for me, was the kitchen, since my main goal was to prepare the Thanksgiving dinner. The house was well stocked with all the essential kitchen gadgets and I was able to cook to my hearts content. We would love to come back and stay another time when the weather is warmer and the kids can swim and fish. Thanks for a great stay and the great memories of our Thanksgiving on Whidbey Island.

Perfect beach getaway for families

Clark and Merry (Yakima, WA)
Review submitted: April 24, 2010   Date of arrival: April 16, 2010

Beautiful home on a beautiful beach. It is sometimes difficult to find a place large enough to accomodate all our "kids" and grandkids comfortably. We had plenty of room and did not feel like we were crowding each other. The best part, of course, is being able to step out the back door onto the patio and beach. But even on blustery spring days, we were able to enjoy the beauty of the beach and sunsets through the large windows. And it is easy to step right back outside when the sun comes back out! Everyone was posting on Facebook when we got home about the great time had by all. We hope to return...

Perfect beach getaway for families...

Clark and Merry (Yakima, WA)
Review submitted: April 24, 2010   Date of arrival: April 16, 2010

This was a beautiful home on a beautiful beach...perfect for family gatherings. It is sometimes difficult to find a property that will accomodate all of us comfortably...parents, "kids" and grandkids. We had plenty of room for everyone, without feeling "on top of each other" all the time. The best part, of course, is being able to step right out the back door onto the patio and beach. We had blustery spring weather with a combination of warm and cool weather. But even when indoors, you can enjoy the beauty of the beach, sunsets...and be ready to step back outside when the sun comes out!
We hope to be able to return. Great time and beautiful memories.
Thanks! Clark and Merry

What a wonderful place to vacation! This property was spacious and very comfortable. The views were gorgeous and being on the water was so relaxing. We spent only a weekend for my nephew's wedding but would like to go back for an extended vacation. We were all sad to leave it. It will be great for future family reunions or for a girl's weekend getaway.

We had a fabulous week here, so relaxing, with our family from England. The views (especially at sunset) were spectacular. We didn't want to go back home! There is everything you could possibly need here and shops and restaurants close by. Try wine tasting and fruit pies at Greenbank Farm. Sarah Knowles, Brookfield WI

We loved it here! The house is wonderful, very clean, very comfortable and such a treat! The view is amazing from the living room AND EVERY bedroom! The set up is perfect for enjoying time with the 'grown-ups' sitting around the table, and for the kids playing games and exploring.

The owners were so helpful and welcoming in setting up our visit, and providing us with great information.

We were sad to leave; I would love to stay here again. Thank you for everything.

Enjoyed 4 wonderful nights to celebrate a 50th birthday. The house has EVERYTHING we needed and is more than fully stocked. 3 barbeque's, every sort of kitchen gadget, entertainment center, beach chairs and toys for kids, very nice linens, shampoo and hair-dryer's. Just like a hotel but with privacy and space. Every room has a view. We had 9 adults and everyone had very comfortable sleeping arrangements and the house never felt crowded. It helped that the weather was unusually sunny for Sept. but would have been nice if stormy as well. A perfect getaway for friends and families. Thank you! Robin Russell, Seattle, WA

We had a wonderful time! With walks on the beach and time spent relaxing in the house, we couldn't have asked for better spot for a long weekend. There were 12 of us, and we had plenty of space. The kitchen was terrific for cooking big meals, and the fully stocked kitchen made it easy. Thanks so much - we'll be back! Rosenkranz Family, Seattle

We had a great time and everything was perfect! Thank you so very much for all the attention to amenities.

The mornings were not to be believed with the sunrise and the kids could not stop playing on the beach. The house is amazing with fireplace and cozy kitchen. The bedrooms were perfect for us all and everyone was well taken care of. We will absolutely want to visit again. Thanks for everything. Troy Martin and Family, Hollywood, Fl

Located right on a sandy beach with beautiful views of the Cascades and shipping lanes. Kathy was incredibly helpful in all aspects and went out of her way to make our stay memorable. It was a trip we will never forget as we look forward to our next visit. Rick, Orange County, CA

We spent a fun weekend at the Mutiny Bay Getaway. It's a beautifully remodeled luxury getaway, complete with 100' of no-bank waterfront. The kids couldn't get enough of the beach, boats and crabbing in the Sound. We awoke to waves lapping on the beach, and went to sleep after bonfires and s'mores in the evening. A lovely weekend.

What a great place! It is beautifully furnished in a sunny beach cottage theme. Everything we needed was available, so all we needed was a few pair of shorts, sandles and a swimsuit! One evening we even dug a hole in the sand for a "true, authentic Northeast Crab and clambake!" It is so great to sit in the living room, enjoy our compny, and still be able to watch the kids playing on the beach. The only downside was that we couldn't get the kids to come in at nite! We will definately be reccommending this property to others and hope that it doesn't get so popular that we are not able to get a spot reserved for us to go back again! Anonymous
