Stunningly situated on Whidbey Island's gorgeous Bush Point, this waterfront home provides breathtaking northwesterly views of Puget Sound, passing ships, incredible sunsets, and the peaks of the Olympic Mountains across the water. With 23 steps leading from the expansive deck down to 100 feet of private, sandy beach, this home is ideal for beachcombing, whale watching, birding (bald eagles are known to nest nearby), observing seals with their pups, flying kites, fishing, boating, and roaming the adjacent Smugglers Cove Beach.

Outside, enjoy the large deck overlooking the water, a new gas grill, and a balcony off the primary suite. During the high fishing season in August, you can throw a line directly from your beach, where salmon are known to often hug the shore (please note that the beach can become a bit busy at that time). If you're bringing your boat or kayaks, you'll love the convenient public boat launch just 100 feet away.

The house is wonderfully situated on the water with views of freighters and ferries, spectacular sunsets and beach walks. The community is very friendly and walkable. The owners clearly are dog lovers! Toys, towels, and everything one needs for bringing your dog. Our English lab loves it here! The kitchen has everything you could need. The bedrooms are very nice, beds comfortable, and bedding very nice. Ten stars! **********

Beautiful home and gorgeous area. House very very well stocked and organized with everything you could possibly want and more. The renovations are wonderful. We enjoyed the hikes in the mountains, walks on the beach, restaurants, wineries, and so much more.

We had a great time at this lovely house on Whidbey. The house was comfortable and the view was great. We especially enjoyed the deck and hot tub. We were there the last full week in August through Labor Day and did not expect to have people fishing out front all day every day. We embraced the fishing and got our 7 and 5 year old boys some kids' rods and they caught some fish! We got to know the regulars who share the private stretch of beach and they said it was the best fishing in years. They even gave our boys some fishing tips. We enjoyed our stay and it was a memorable trip, but it was pretty expensive for what turned out to be a not so private beach.
4.0
The house was nice, but the home is located next to public in which people can walk through property to the next beach. People did not obey the private property and used the beach anyways there was over 50 people using beach & it wasnoisy from sunrise to sunset fishing & just people using the beach. We could not enjoy the beach or use it during our stay 5 days trip. The property beach front is way to busy in the summer months if want use the beach or enjoy it!

This house is such a great place to relax, take in excellent views, and spend time with family on the beach! The owners really did a wonderful job, thinking of all the perfect touches to make for a comfortable stay (great kitchenware, extra blankets, board games and puzzles, rock painting station, cozy pillows and bedding). The hot tub and deck are fabulous! Short trip to the grocery store to get anything you need. This was our second stay and we’ve already booked again for next year. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to get away to the beach!

This beautiful, cheery home was the perfect spot for a relaxing family getaway. The views are stunning, the house is equipped with everything you might need, and doggies are made to feel like first- class citizens here! Our favorite activities included long walks with our pup on the beach and watching glorious sunsets from the hot tub.

Without a doubt, this was the most wonderful family vacation we have ever spent at any property. We fell in love with this charming, warm, and welcoming home the moment we stepped through the front door, everything was perfect. The views were just beautiful, we spent hours watching the weather doing wonderful things. Since we were there during October, there was some spectacular storms, amazing lightning shows, we even lost power for a short time but that was fun too. In summery, this lovely home is a must visit property. There is lack for nothing, it has every comfort you could hope for. We are deeply grateful to the owners for so generously allowing us to enjoy this special beach front property. We truly hope to visit again.

Loved the incredible views, beach access, home decor and floor plan as well as the fully stocked home that is dog friendly and so clean. Only problem was, the house was struggling to heat up and it was difficult being inside with 52-57 degree temps in the house. We wore coats and blankets inside.

The house was immaculate and very well appointed. Close driving to lots of great tourist spots, restaurants and beaches.

This listing is a Vacasa managed property. If you book through VRBO, you will end up paying extra money that you will not be able to get back no matter what, even if Vacasa gives you a refund for some of their portion. A natural disaster caused a power failure at this home 5 hours into our stay and would not be repaired for multiple days, leaving us in 40° weather with no power, heat or water. Couldn't flush toilets, wash hands, cook, warm the home or charge our devices. We had no option but to leave the following morning, as there is no generator in this home and we had a 9 month old baby with us. Ultimately, we ended up paying a LOT of money to stay in this home for 5 hours with power and 14 hours without power before evacuating. It's unfortunate, because the home is lovely with wonderful views and the owners seem nice based on the evidence of the house manual. If we had a direct line of communication with them instead of having to work through VRBO and Vacasa, we likely would have had a better resolution to a weather emergency that was no fault of ours or the homeowner. We were looking forward to a few nights in this lovely home. I suggest you not book this place during the fall or winter until a generator is installed, considering the likelihood of future weather events like this increasing due to climate change.

Absolutely perfect vacation rental. The fenced yard was so great for the dogs. Every detail in the house was so well thought out. Highlights were the private beach and hearing the gentle waves from the upstairs master suite.

We loved this well kept house with an amazing view. Everything in this house was perfectly chosen and perfectly placed. It was like walking into a beach house photo shoot!
SO much to do on Whidbey Island! The house has great decks to enjoy the view. Hot tub and fire pit were enjoyed also!
As soon as we got there we wanted to come back - and within minutes did make another reservation for next year!

Just an absolutely perfect place. Incredibly beautiful, we loved all the windows, especially in the upstairs bedroom. Watching eagles and seals from up there was amazing. Such a comfortable home as well, everything you would need and the best night of sleep I have had during this pregnancy! Loved how dog friendly it was and the being right on the beach was wonderful. Can’t wait to book again, highly recommend!

A gem of a vacation rental
Beautiful home with the most amazing views. Such lovely attention to details and exceptionally dog friendly, they even provided sofa protection and towels.
The deck and yard are great, but not fully fenced. For our dogs we had to improvise with x-pens to keep them safe, as there is a steep drop off down to the beach.
Love the hot tub and fire pit. The beach walks were so refreshing and easily accessed by the stairs, but they are narrow, we walked around near the boat ramp.
We'd happily come back to this GEM!

This was our third stay at Spyglass Beach House and we've booked again for next year. It's a family tradition now. In the past, we've enjoyed hiking around Whidbey, visiting the farmer's market and local restaurants, as well as leisurely days at the beach. This time we were all recovering from illness, but enjoyed our trip no less for being housebound. We never get bored of sitting on the porch and looking out to sea. We saw orcas for the third year in a row, and the bald eagles next door are like old friends now. The dogs could not be happier, everything for their comfort has been provided, even local baked treats, yum! Our almost seven year old loves the games and the rock painting station and is never so still and quiet as when he's looking out to sea with binoculars. Super convenient being able to get Instacart and get groceries, drinks, and s'mores ingredients delivered without having to interrupt your vacation. Thanks for another wonderful, relaxing holiday

Fantastic home right on the beach!
We loved taking a long weekend getaway to Spyglass Beach House on Whidbey island! The size of the house was perfect for my partner and I, our toddler, and our dog. Even though it was winter we were still able to enjoy the beach, sightsee the various parks around the island, and cap off the day with a soak in the hot tub. Highly recommend this dog-friendly house for any group of friends or a family. We'll be back!
