Spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains and sunsets over Puget Sound. Private beach with no-bank access and ample watersport and sandy beach fun. Custom built home is perfect for couples and families, with ample indoor and outdoor space to play or relax. Maxwelton Beach is one of the largest west facing beaches (i.e. perfect for sunsets) on Whidbey Island with long sand flats, tidal pools and miles of beach combing, clamming and crabbing opportunities. Just south of the house you can walk for miles along undeveloped and protected beaches. Right in front is perfect for playing in the sand, making drift wood forts or launching your kayak, canoe or paddle board. Also excellent for spotting wildlife - from bald eagles, osprey, seals, otters and even the rare orca. Inside the custom built home, the open floor plan lends itself to sweeping views from the kitchen, dining and living rooms. Custom woodwork and natural beach rock fireplace lends warmth while the large open kitchen is well stocked for every culinary pursuit. The living room boasts a large leather couch and rocking chairs, perfect for watching your favorite movie on the flat screen TV and DVD player, or simply enjoying a crackling fire. There is also a kiddie play area with play kitchen, loads of duplo legos and various other toys. Three bedrooms provide sleeping space for 6 guests. Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom overlooking the beach has a king bed, walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. The room also acts as the perfect office, with a beautiful antique desk facing the beach. The peaceful downstairs bedroom has a queen while the addition bedroom upstairs is perfect for two children with a twin pull-out trundle bed. A separate bath is complete with tub & shower. The home also has free WiFi for guest use. Young families are very welcome; in addition to the multitude of children toys (including sand toys for the beach) and games, the house has a baby cot and high chair. Outside, the large lawn area is great for ball games while the patio has a Webber propane grill, large outdoor tables with chairs, loungers and umbrellas. The back orchard has an abundance of apples & pears in late summer and autumn which guests are welcome to pick. Finally the beach, steps away has a fire pit, perfect for roasting marshmallows and making smorzes as you watch the sun slowly set over Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains beyond. Truly a slice of heaven for all the senses.

We are partial to Maxwelton Beach and have stayed at a different house further down. There is something special about it. You can walk for miles when the tide is out. The views are spectacular. What this house has going for it is the super easy walk to the beach--no large steps. There are sweeping views from every room. You can brush your teeth and look out across the water! The house is almost at the end of all the homes, so if you take a left, you can walk alone with nothing but trees, sand, and water—a perfect escape from reality. Everything was well-stocked and comfortable. It is not a modern home, yet it was just what we needed. The downstairs carpets have large rips in them and the pink carpet in the master has large stains. It would be awesome if the carpets got replaced. When given the chance to go back to the luxury home or this one, we chose this one. There's just something special about it.

What a gem! This location is second to none and the home is spacious, clean and just seconds from the beach. We were treated to herons, sand dollars, crabs and even porpoises on our beach walks and felt lucky to be able to borrow such a special property.

Our family (3 couples) enjoyed this spacious, well-equipped beach home. Some of our "favorites" included the panoramic views of Puget Sound, sandy beach walks, brilliant sunsets, and bird watching. The indoor living spaces were very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and bake. The fenced yard was peaceful and private. Our host was kind and responsive when we had questions. We had a delightful stay!

This spacious, well-appointed home offers charming maritime decor, immediate beach access, and breathtaking views. The back deck and master bedroom balcony are both wonderful spots to enjoy a book and a bottle of wine while you take in the scenery. Our dog loved lounging in the back yard after a good long play in the ocean. And there's nothing quite like going to sleep to the sound of waves. We regularly saw deer and all manner of seabirds and other wildlife during our walks on the quiet, dead-end street. And the gentle slope of the shoreline presents an abundance of tide pools to explore -- we spotted starfish, sand dollars, crabs, and more. In terms of nearby amenities, there's not much in walking distance other than a playground up the street (which I'm sure we'd have gotten a lot of use out of had we brought kids). If you have a car, this house is very well situated, a short drive to groceries, restaurants, galleries, a great off-leash dog park (Double Bluff beach), etc. Take the speed limit seriously, though -- the speed bumps along the 5mph section approaching the house are in a bit of disrepair, and might knock your undercarriage a bit if you don't take them carefully. The property manager is helpful, accommodating, and very responsive to questions. And the house is extremely comfortable. Be sure to try the generously provided local coffee! We had a lovely time and look forward to visiting again.

We loved our stay at this comfy beach house. We especially enjoyed the excellent location in a peaceful community, the big private yard, and the easy access to a great beach. Our dog was in heaven!! The house is very roomy and had everything we needed. A big thank you to our hosts for sharing this beautiful property with us!

We enjoyed our stay at this Maxwelton beach house on Whidbey Island. The views and easy beach access were marvelous. We enjoyed the beauty of high tide and loved the access to the beach, low tide, and sand bars for wading, exploration and making sand castles. The beach house is charming and comfortable. It is also well equipped. We were all happy to be there. Two negatives: We had an ant infestation in the kitchen we needed to deal with; and it’s time to replace the worn and stained Berber carpet.
