NEW The Esarey Place - Big & Comfy Mutiny Bay Beach House in Whidbey Island

Large, comfortable beach house just a short stroll to private beach access on Mutiny Bay. The beach is sugar sand, great for walking and building sand castles in summer, or storm watching and beachcombing in winter. The Esarey Place is situated between the beach and wetlands where you'll see rabbits, deer, bald eagles, osprey, and dozens of songbirds. Gather in our beach house to cozy up, venture out, or peek at ships from the deck. 

The upstairs living room is spacious, light-filled and airy with sky lights and an open floorplan facing peekaboo views of Puget Sound. It's been recently remodeled with new windows, doors, and bamboo flooring--clean and fresh. If you're looking for a romantic weekend getaway, you'll spend your time in front of the fire (winter) or on the deck (summer) before strolling down to the beach at sunset. Master bedroom has king-size bed and picture window view of wetlands. Second upstairs bedroom is medium-size with double bed. All bedrooms have down comforters and pillows. Kitchen is large enough for multiple chefs and stocked with plenty of dishes/utensils for large dinner parties. Espresso machine and iPod sound system upstairs, too.

If you've got friends or kids joining you, you'll make use of the family room downstairs with ping pong table, DVD player, board games, and fireplace. Toys and highchair (Bumbo w/ tray) for little ones. Also two more bedrooms and laundry room. Rustic fir floors and driftwood fireplace mantel give a beachy vibe. Plenty of space for folks to gather together or curl up in a corner for a little down time.

We're a short drive (or bike ride!) to Freeland's excellent grocery store, Langley's antique shops, and South Whidbey State Park's old-growth hiking trails. Open floorplan is great for entertaining. Large backyard has apple trees and a swing, and beckons for wiffle ball, "beanbag bocce ball," or watching rabbits hop by in the evenings.
