Take a nightly tub in the cedar hot tub and rinse off in the outside shower before building your beach fire to make s'mores and telling family stories. There is a small caretaker cottage on the backside of the property which may be occupied on occasion by the owners, who would be available to take care of any of needs during your stay. (you'll only see us if you need assistance). Please contact us if you have any questions.

House was perfect for Thanksgiving with friends. Two ovens and two refrigerators were fantastic for dinner prep. The location and beach are beautiful!

We loved everything about our stay. The view was amazing (gorgeous sunsets), the beach was a blast (both dogs and kiddo loved it), the kitchen was well-stocked, home was clean and neat, and we had a fantastic time. Thank you Bob!

Our group of 13 ladies thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing and comfortable 3 day weekend in this unique family retreat property. The location right on the beach with Olympic Mountains and sunset views is very special. The house is well equipped - we had everything we needed and more!

The cabin has a great layout that everyone fit comfortably in. It is on the nicest beach on Whidbey Island and the kids loved it. Can't wait to rent again.

Bob’s place is an absolute gem. We had a perfect stay here with my sister’s family. The view is spectacular!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-day stay in this very private beachfront rental. The home was comfortable, clean, and inviting, having everything (except hairdryers, oddly enough) we needed to enjoy a cozy family-friendly get-away. Although I felt, with all fees added in, it was a bit expensive, we would definitely recommend it to others — and already have!

Beautiful home. When we were there the kids cabin was very dirty. We needed to organize the kitchen so we could find the space for a weeks worth of groceries for 12 people. Also we organized the games so we could find what was there. Overall the location was worth it!

The views from this home make it worth every penny! Fantastic location for exploring South Whidbey and Puget Sound. We enjoyed the hot tub with a view, making fires in the living room fireplace. The added bonus of including firewood was so convenient and thoughtful. Plenty of room for all the guests to gather and play games, share a meal, and explore the beach.
We bird watched, saw a seal every morning, and enjoyed the stars when we finally had a clear night.
Just a few cons: cleanliness left something to be desired. One of the bathroom sinks was dirty. The den couches had popcorn in and under them from previous guests. The kitchen cupboards and drawers need to be emptied out of old, expired dry goods/cooking oils etc and thoroughly cleaned. The silverware holders were straight up dirty, and we ended up washing everything we used first.
The wooden path in the yard is in need of repair; two members of our party nearly fell when the boards separated and moved. This is definitely a safety issue they should address immediately.
Also, the wood stoves seen in pictures of rental aren't functional. They aren't necessary, as the heat works just fine, but we were kind of excited to use them. (City slickers, 😆)
Nonetheless, still a solid 4 star rental. It's a great, comfortable home with a fantastic location and fair price.
And those views!!! ❤️ 😍

We all loved the comfortable family friendly atmosphere. The wood fireplace was wonderful. The beach was clean and the children loved playing in the sand and finding treasures. Definitely hope to return!

Easy-to-rent vacation home in a great location on Whidbey Island. Excellent views and amenities. Everything you could possibly want in the kitchen. Owners are excellent, prompt communicators. Lots of firewood for fires in the fireplace but BYOM* (*bring your own matches).

Gorgeous beach setting in a calm bay with abundant wildlife and places to relax or play outside. The house has tons of inviting space to relax alone or with others. Perfect place for family and friends gathering, to cook, kayak, beach walk and sit by the beachside fire pit. Our dog had a blast playing in the water and meeting the neighboring pups. The beds were super comfy, especially nice after long days of exploring and beach activity. The hosts, the Erickson’s are friendly and helpful. There was nothing we lacked. We would definitely come back …this is such an easy, relaxing get away…one that’s hard to leave!

We have an annual get together with long term friends to hang out and play board games for a weekend. We've stayed all over the state and on Whidbey island for previous getaways and this home is one of the best we've stayed at. The house is cozy but large enough for a few families and the view and the water access can't be beat. I'd highly recommend staying here if you get a chance.

This property is just perfect: well-outfitted 4 bedroom home RIGHT on the beach on Mutiny Bay looking west toward the Olympic Mountains and the shipping lanes. Great beachfront for walks, tidal exploration and throwing sticks for the dogs. Will definitely return for our next family event.

Our family had a FABULOUS experience in this lovely home, filled with personal touches and notable architectural details. Then there's the 180-degree mountain and water views with a wonderful beach just steps from the deck. We will most definitely return.

Great place!
Would love to come back. This place is great; full of good vibes. Bob was very responsive to any question we had. Saw eagles, otter, deer, herons…the outdoor shower doesn’t work, and the dishwasher stopped working, but Bob is aware of those things and I’ve no doubt he will fix them before we come back.

Authentic coastal experience
This home and property location are superb. Our family spent a lovely week here and enjoyed every minute of it. The house is a well-loved and lived-in family home, and not at all a soulless vacation rental—the kind with ubiquitous starfish pillows and signs everywhere that say BEACH.
The kids loved playing hide and seek here because there are so many nooks and crannies, and playing on the beach with dogs. The adults loved cooking and chatting and the hot tub. The beds were comfy, and the kitchen was well-stocked. I SO appreciated the minimal check out checklist—it’s always such a drag to spend the last couple hours of a restful vacation feverishly removing all trace of yourself from the home you’ve paid to stay in. This should be a selling point for vacation rentals—it’d be incredibly popular!
Thank you Bob and family for sharing your comfortable, authentic, wonderful home—it’s truly special and I know we’ll be back.

Best of Whidbey
Our stay at Whidbey was spectacular. This family-oriented cabin is a perfect match for big groups who want a semi-rustic feel and a well-stocked kitchen. If it's raining, there are tons of comfy places to read, play games, or take a nap. If the sun's out, the beach and backyard are perfectly inviting. There's a great selection of toys and games for kids. Wonderful visit!

A few small issues of things that need repair or attention, but overall a very nice property that was clean and comfortable. Instructions for hot tub and wifi need to be updated, but nothing that couldn't be figured out, and Bob was very helpful via phone for the tub. We stayed here as part of research we are doing for finding a place for a large group later this year. This house stays on the list.

What a great place to stay, there is nothing like being right on the water. The wildlife was great to watch, as well as all the passing ships. The house is amazing, the woodwork inside is so well done.

Really greast house. Very well stocked kitchen. We were there in winter and had a fun time. My mother-in-law uses a walker and this was the perfect house with ramps and a first floor bathroom.

Wonderful place for a large family gathering. Loved being on the bay. The dog and the kid could play in the water without much worry because it was pretty calm. Had everything we needed.

Good vibrations!
If you're thinking of renting this cottage - do it! The house had everything we needed for a lovely, relaxing stay. You can feel the love and good energy that this family home has had over the years. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, eating at the long dining room table w the incredible view, soaking in the wooden hot tub and enjoying the fire in the family room fireplace. Thanks for sharing this special spot w our family!

Wish we could have stayed longer!
Such a lovely, relaxing vacation home. We took long walks along the beach each morning (saw really cool stuff at low tide!), relaxed in the evenings watching the sunset, and it was a great base for exploring the island. We felt very welcome, including our dog, and there was not a single thing we needed that we weren't able to find in the house. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect Beach House
Big house with room to spread out. Excellent location that was perfect for our spring break with kids. We enjoyed picnics in the lawn, digging in the sand (we brought sand toys), watching bald eagles and seals, and splashing in the water feet away from the property. The hot tub was an added bonus. Would love to go back!
