vacation rental description

Sandpiper Haven is a charming two bedroom, two bath, single story, low bank waterfront house located on world famous Penn Cove, Whidbey Island, with  direct beach access , phenomenal views , a great deck, nearby boat launch, and much much more.  Conveniently located between Coupeville and Oak Harbor, enjoy fabulous VIEWS south across Penn Cove of the Olympic Mountains and Coupville, and east toward the Cascades!  With annual rainfall of just over 21 inches, nearly half of the regional rainfall, you can enjoy being in the rainshadow of Whidbey Island.  

Sandpiper Haven is truly a bird watcher's paradise with floating flocks of resident and migratory water fowl and overhead visits by a neighboring family of eagles. For the seafood lovers, try mussel and clam digging and enjoy fishing just steps from the back door.

The day brings beautiful views of boats, seals and otters playing in the water, and of the snowy peaks of the Olympic Mountains rising in the distance beyond the shores of Penn Cove. To the east catch glimpses of the Cascade Mountains as well. The house is south facing to capture the warmth of the sun on a large private deck in fair weather, or inspire romance watching storm-churned waves while comfortably seated indoors by the large stone gas fireplace.

Enjoy this comfy, well-appointed and well-supplied house in a phenomenal setting. Built in 2003, this house is fully-insulated and enjoyable year-round, including holidays.

traveler reviews for this whidbey island house rental

Perfect beach front get away!

Review submitted: May 16, 2013   Date of arrival: May 3, 2013

Absolutely pristine and beautiful vacation rental! I had never rented a vacation home and was a little concerned about how it would, "really" be like. I was so happy to walk into a beautifully maintained, warm and welcoming home for our special weekend get away. The owners have really thought of everything! Not only is there a fully stocked kitchen, but there are extra toiletries in case you've forgotten them, games and toys for children, beach toys for kids...etc. I was absolutely impressed by the thought that the owners have put into every detail! The owners were also very easy to contact and quick to respond to any questions/emails/calls that I had.

The home, the views, the beach were all stunning. A truly inspiring location! We will be coming back time and again!! Thank you for the wonderful experience!!

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Owners response: Dear Maria, What can we say but thank you for capturing the spirit and specialness to our home. Do come again! -Julie & Peter

Beautiful!!
We had a lovely getaway at Sandpiper Haven. The home was very clean and beautifully furnished and the kitchen was well stocked with all of the things we needed to eat in. We enjoyed the views from the deck while eating dinner and roasting smores in the fire pit. We also had a great time exploring the quiet beach looking for sea glass and other treasures. We had hoped to see some migrating grey whales but no luck there. We did see several sea lions swimming just off of the beach. We had a great time and hope to be back soon.

Thanks!

Karen & John

Owners response: Dear Karen and John, thanks so much for the kind comments and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Yes, the Gray Whales are hit or miss in Penn Cove but migrate March through April so maybe next season! We've also taken a nearby whale watching excursion which is great fun to get up close. Do come again! - Julie and Peter

Thank you very much for letting us stay at your lovely vacation home.. My family and I have rented many vacation homes but found that your home tops them all.. We have rented big ones and expensive ones but we were soooo surprised at all the little details you have put into making your guests feel most comfortable in your home... We will definitely go visit your vacation home again for a longer period, because our visit was too short for us to enjoy your home to the fullest~
Thank you again~

Owners response: Dear Stephanie, We are so glad you enjoyed yourselves for your last minute "escape" and we do hope you can come again for longer next time. We get booked frequently for 2 day visits and many Guests share your response, "wish we could have stayed longer". We strive to make your stay as easy as possible so we are pleased we achieved that, too! All our best- Julie & Peter
