The Shifting Coastal Moods of the San Juan Islands
A coastal retreat designed to capture the windswept beauty of the San Juan Islands, this beach house rental in Washington reveals the stunning beauty and the fresh open vistas of the Salish Sea from the low-banks of Whidbey Island, with unobstructed views of the Olympic mountain range sunsets that glow in the distance.
Steps from the sands of the west-facing shoreline, this quietly modern home lets the natural beauty of the archipelago take the stage and its subtle rhythms to sweep you away.
The one-story ranch-style home opens into a spacious, great room with vaulted ceilings, windows that flood the spaces with natural light, and a wood-burning fireplace to set the mood, with roomy interiors that invite everyone to create their personal space. Sending your gaze out to sea, it's the spot that brings your focus together and at the same time out to the horizon.
There's a state-of-the-art kitchen with a dining bar, and a convivial farm table that seats eight in the all-in-one space. There are two separate en suite bedrooms that can accommodate up to four guests.
While the home is all about relaxation and disconnecting, it's also technology-forward so you can choose to plug-in, watch movies, listen to music, or just chill and catch the sunset.
The sea-facing grounds are designed to highlight the archipelago's spectacular scenery. From the two plush dining terraces to the fire pit lounge and Totem paths down to the water's edge, this is where you'll be spoiled for choice.
A home of understated luxuries and ever-shifting coastal moods, it's the kind of place that allows for a privileged escape among the sensory delights and rhythms of the archipelago.
SAN JUAN ISLANDS
You'll be just steps from West Beach where you can set out on the waterways to kayak, surf, and paddleboard, or mosy along the deserted shores.
The second-largest and most populous of the San Juan Islands in northwestern Washington, Whidbey is among over 170 in the archipelago that are famous for their up-close natural diversity (with resident pods of Orcas and marine life, eagles and land mammals) and the magic of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.
Downtown Coupeville is a few miles away with charming small-town dining and browsing, and nearby Ebey's Landing and Ebey State Park, Joseph Whidbey State Park, and Deception State Park are the spots for scenic hikes and au naturel escape.
Seattle is the gateway to this region and is just over 2 hours drive.
