About this house rental

Perched on a bluff with bald eagles around, the Captains Cabin waterfront home commands an enviable perch with a view that goes forever.

The entry way is through a vine covered arched trellis opening onto a cobblestone courtyard. Upon entry, you are surrounded by a courtyard filled with the Captains memorabilia, and a wonderful garden, complete with treasures from his years abroad.

The stairs lead to a manly entrance flanked by copper drains, and glass lighting from the Far East. The entrance hall is 9 feet high with magnificent art around, including a painting of his fastest clipper ship, the Enlim. Once through, you enter a great room unlike any you have ever seen, with ceilings up to 11 feet. At the heart of it is the Captains old dining table off the HMS Katania, the Captains first command; you’ll spin your own yarns with meals at this beauty.

Of course, there are all the modern conveniences and the finest hand built cabinetry. The kitchen sink is a masterpiece hewn of copper by Whidbey himself as a gift passed on to the captain from his descendants. The living room fireplace is trimmed in the richest burl, direct from the master’s quarters on the Kayana, one of the Captains most famous flagships.

Finally, there are the decks that surround the great room; with a grand view of Honeymoon Bay, the Captains bay.

Then there are the bedrooms...

The guest VIP has a king bed, vaulted ceilings, has French doors to its own deck and afternoon courtyard, as does the den; all with the finest electronics for personal entertainment.


The Captains bedroom is a magnificent affair, with the center king bed a four posted gift from Prince Sulawi, whom the Captain saved from pirates near Mindanao. The Armoir is one of the finest pieces of antique French walnut furniture of its kind, a gift of gratitude from Madame DuClair.

Of course, his room opens onto the same magnificent view; watch it changes as the sun moves across the sky.

The den has a desk, with sofa and TV with built in DVD and a comfortable sofa sleeper for extra guests.

On the water side there is a wonderful cobble courtyard. Follow a brief path out to the bluff watch where the Captain took his morning chicory, an exotic brew whose recipe was never divulged, even to the Wench. This wonderful spot is has a natural cabana of evergreens and Madrona’s...there is something magical and inspirational about this little setting, so unique and picturesque.


From the deck, there is also a winding path to the beach, and bulkhead where the Captain kept his dingy at the ready to go to his Katania, the ship he purchased from the Royal Navy upon her retirement for his own private corsair. The modern day Katania, one of the finest private yachts in the world, owned by the Captains grand nephew, was recently hailed by the actress Hilary Swank as the most beautiful in the world.

The Captains Cabin is lovely. Beautiful, well-equipped, comfy bed, wonderful setting on the bay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay--if only the owners could have brought us some sunshine too! We just happened to pick the only 5 cloudy, rainy days in weeks. But lucky for us we had these great accommodations to return to each day. Highly recommend.

This property was wonderful! The view is hard to beat. Check in was easy and the two minor questions we had were answered quickly. There is a 3rd room with a queen size bed which was a welcome surprise (we were thinking it would be a sleeper sofa). The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and utensils. I think for safety/health purposes no spices are kept, except salt and pepper. So plan on bringing your own. This is truly a beautiful home with amenities galore.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was so refreshing and relaxing at the same time. Beautiful location even had a deer at the back area and a bunny. We would have loved to stay longer but had to go back home. This cabin was equipped with almost anything you might need. Can't say enough good things. If we would return, We would love to stay in the cabin again.

Charming, cozy, and comfortable. The outdoor spaces were lovely and lush, and indoor spaces clean and warm. Loved being perched above the water with tall trees. Enjoyed the spacious hot tub after cool day of rain. Quiet, private and excellent location for South Whidbey. Enjoyed near by hikes, Greenbank Farm, gardens. 15 minutes to both Coupeville and Langley. Wonderful stay!

I sent my parents up for their anniversary. They were enchanted by the home and its beauty as well as the beauty of the surrounding property and locale. I am looking forward to going back myself maybe in the spring or next fall.

Spent a wonderful two weeks on Whidbey Island on Honeymoon Bay! Definitely worth a visit. Captain’s Cabin was a perfect place - very comfortable and clean with a great view of the water.

This property is a beautiful 3 bedroom home. Very clean and well maintained. The beds are very comfortable. (All 4 guests who stayed here, are very picky about beds, and we all agreed the beds were great.) The kitchen is well stocked with appliances. (However, if you are cooking, bring your own spices as there was only salt and pepper. Also, bring your own coffee.) The home itself is only a 10 minute drive into Langley, and there are many places within a 10 minute drive to go walking. The only drawback, is while the house has a wonderful view of the sound, it is also a bit dark due to the number of trees. Nonetheless it is a great place. Also, Gina the owner was very responsive to questions and helpful. If looking for a place to stay on Whidbey this is a home we'd recommend. B and J
