5 Star Sandpiper Haven is my favorite place to stay on Whidbey Island! Just booked 2 wk. trip for next year! You will not find a better waterfront home or better hosts. Premier waterfront location w/ 180 degree unobstructed views of Penn Cove, the Cascade and the Olympic Mountains, and your own private house, deck, promenade, firepit, and beach access. Just across the water from the Coupeville Wharf, and minutes from Oak Harbor, both with shopping, restaurants, activities, and tourist attractions. Home is super clean, private, and fairly secluded, on the waterfront in a very safe neighborhood with a community swimming pool (very clean & delightful), community dock (you can fish, swim or throw a crab pot off), and additional easy beach access, if you prefer an easy walk over the stairs. Sailboats moor near the dock, eagles fly over your head, blue heron perch on the beach, deer walk down the road, and there is endless beach to explore with agates, beach glass, and seashells to find. We walked for miles and rarely saw another person on the beach. Home is well stocked and you can truly travel light. Hosts are top notch, generous & accessible if you need anything, or have any questions. They even have a book of current local attractions, restaurant menus, Whidbey Island events and crab and fishing info. There are books for the birdwatcher and a variety for everyone else, games, puzzles, fishing poles, crab pots, 2 kayaks, and a boat. You will love this place & the amazing hosts!!
