About this house rental
At the end of a small lane, this property is a time capsule from the past. The large low bank beach is full of driftwood, sand and a gorgeous view of the cascade mountains. At lower tide, you can walk for miles, see wildlife and enjoy the beautiful Pacific Northwest at its best. The house is masterfully and artistically designed. Special touches make it feel like a beach cabin from the 1950s with a bit of luxury. Situated just north of the Clinton-Mukilteo ferry, you can easily walk on the ferry to make for an easy city getaway.
The living room is cozy and beautifully decorated with a comfortable couch, game table, log fireplace, smart TV and a gorgeous view. The dining room has a table that seats 10 and can be expanded to fit more. The coffee bar is stocked with coffee, tea and hot chocolate at all times. And the kitchen is beautiful and fully stocked with spices, cookware and plenty of dishes for your group.
The upper floor holds two bedrooms and a full bathroom with a shower. The spacious main bedroom has a king bed, large closet, desk, dresser and gorgeous view of the Puget Sound. The bunk room is a perfect and playful hideaway for kids or adults willing to sleep in XL twin bunk beds.
The main floor of the house has another beautiful bedroom with a king-sized bed. The full bathroom on this floor has a tub/shower.
The basement has been remodeled in to an incredible bunk room in the shape of a ferry - study the photos to see it! There is also another beautiful captain quarters-themed bedroom in the basement with a queen bed.
The basement level also holds a full bathroom, laundry room and supply closet.
The large wrap around deck is where you will find yourself in the morning, afternoon and night sipping coffee, enjoying a meal, reading and watching the world around Whidbey. It's a perfect place to gather with a nice sound system and Adirondack chairs.
The yard holds an herb garden, hammock, picnic table, porch swing, tree swing, bbq fire pit and a bonfire pit. We have paddle boards, kayaks and life jackets for your use as well!
Ferry Cove is truly a remarkable vacation property and we hope you enjoy your stay! We would love to have you!

Amazing home with all the extras. Check-in was easy and instructions were easy to understand. The downstairs was a space for the kids who loved the bunk style and the bean bags. Everything was thought of in this rental. Location to the ferry was so nice, and there was almost no noise. Neighbors were friendly. Our favorites were drinking coffee on the deck to watch the sun rise, and the fire pit in the yard to finish the night. Thank you for allowing us to rent this space - would love to come back!

We had a great time here!
And I didn't even get to see the basement until the last day.
Parents: Don't let your kids (even big kids) see the basement. It is way too well designed to look like a ferry. They even use moisture sealed lamps like on real ferries.
Your kids will have way too much funl They won't let you sign up for any other VRBO houses. (Be sure not to give them your password.)
One wall has an actual photograph of inside a ferry, filling the whole wall.
The rest of the house was fun, too, just not as much.
OK, the industrial sized coffee maker tends to overfill. Keep a second carafe nearby to swap in at the right time.
Also, the induction stove works just fine, which we liked, as we are planning one for our own house.
The kitchen has plenty of plates and cups, so you don't have to rush them into the dishwasher.
Overall, yes, way too much fun!

What a fabulous property!! We have a family get away once a year where we are truly removed from the world and it's just US. In our 9 year tradition this was the ultimate place that checked off all the boxes: location (quiet and private), clean, perfect communication with Brooke, comfortable spaces, well equiped kitchen, water sport equipment, outdoor games, endless board games that brought back childhood memories....I could go on and on.
Everything has been carefully thought through for guests' comfort. The children loved the freedom of being able to go to the beach, swing, hammock, or just in their "ferry". We loved that we could completely relax and enjoy the peace and each other.
Thank you Brooke and Ryan for your thoughtfulness and generosity in providing this memory making opportunity!

Ferry Cove was an awesome place to stay. 5 of us were there for a work retreat and it was such a great location to get away and detach from everyday life. The design and decor in the house is wonderful. The ferry bunk room and captains quarters are so cool, kids would have a blast staying there. The kitchen is very well equipped including spices, plastic wrap and everything you would have at home. We had a couple of questions and the owner, Brooke, responded immediately to our texts. Booking our next visit right now!

Location was perfect...beautiful yard on the beach, quiet end of street, walk to the ferry and the coffee stand (seldom heard the ferry). Kids fished from the shore and caught a bullhead, dug in the sand, used the hot outdoor shower a lot, and we all enjoyed the seating on the wraparound deck. The house is wonderful with fun comfortable decor of a "summer" home or kids camp. Two King size rooms, a small bunk room that worked great for a 6 and 8 year old and one bathroom downstairs and another one up. With kids on the beach, laundry in the basement was a huge plus. Kitchen has enough dinnerware to serve a crowd and two nice picnic tables on the deck to enjoy the beautiful view and a nice big dining table with a view. Need a/c? yep it was there. Perfect all around.

This is a truly special place. Having kayaks and SUPs on site with PFDs for use was really good. Having a full laundry was also necessary for all the activities. The kitchen was well stocked. The views of the water, ferry, and wildlife was spectacular. The lights on the pier and ferry at night was beautiful. The fire pit is a special touch, with a gas start-up, requiring firewood. Walking at low-tide also allowed us to make new discoveries.

Fabulous! The house is very comfortable, spotless, and beautifully renovated. It was perfect for 3 'mature' women except the bed situation. We didn't realize that the bunk beds weren't designed for adults (even small adults). Other than that, it was wonderful.

This property is by far the best vacation rental we’ve ever stayed in! The location is perfect to enjoy all of whidbey Island and is literally 1 minute from the ferry terminal. While the ferry terminal is very near the property there was almost no noise from the ferry’s themselves. The location is overall very quiet and we loved watching the seals swim around every morning and evening. Almost nobody on the beach except for a local every now and then out for a walk.
The house itself is beautiful! The decor is so thoughtful, beds were comfortable, and they had all the basics you would need i.e. shampoo, conditioner, body wash, seasonings, condiments etc. The wraparound porch, picnic tables, gas fire pit and yard allow you to enjoy the beautiful view. We have an almost 6 year old and 2 year old and the house itself is very kid friendly with a pack and play!
There are kayaks and standup paddleboard‘s along with lifejackets to enjoy the water!! Amazing to have this as part of the rental.
Brooke was so responsive! We asked her at the last minute if we could stay for one additional night and without hesitation she said yes! Can’t thank her enough for the hospitality, amazing property and willingness to work with us at the last minute. We are already going to book for an entire week next summer!

We had an idyllic stay at Ferry Cove. The house is absolutely darling, full of chic modern amenities with whimsical “camp” touched that made it a warm and fun home base. We spent each morning sipping coffee and watching the harbor seals bobbing and playing curiously in the water in front of the house, and had a couple visits from a bald eagle nesting nearby. The location is VERY convenient to exploring the south side of the island and of course to the ferry. We worried the ferry might be loud or intrusive, but it truly didn’t bother us at all. We grilled on the deck, sat around the fire pit at night, and enjoyed driving around the island and visiting the beaches and the town of Langley. Overall, a beautiful short stay with friends - we wish we could have stayed longer! Brooke was communicative and helpful. We would love to return for another stay the next time we’re on the West Coast!

It’s a beautiful setting with excellent beach access and very close to the ferry. I love the fact there was an EV plug-in available.

Absolute Perfection!!
Our family wasn't checked into this property 20 minutes before I pulled out my phone and reserved it again for next year! The house itself was immaculately remodeled, attention to detail and quality was amazing; best I have ever seen at a rental property and I've been to A LOT! Comfortable, clean, natural light throughout. The property was equally as enjoyable and very obviously loved and taken care of. Hammock was the best, sandy beach was 30 ft from the beautiful lawn and the gas fire pit was so nice at night!! Hosts were so accommodating and responsive. Cannot rave enough! I would note- restaurants and food service on the island are pretty unreliable, we had to switch to eating out a night or two to cooking in but no worries...kitchen, deck and dining room were perfect for our BBQs and meals. 10/10 for Ferry Cove!!

Wonderful experience on Whidbey Island
My family and I had a wonderful experience at this beach house on Whidbey Island. The home was extremely clean and in a great shape. We loved spending time on the waterfront, including hanging out around the fire pit and playing spikeball. While the Clinton ferry is very close by, we didn't really hear it and it didn't bother us. The owner communicated easy to follow check in and check out instructions. We'd definitely recommend staying here. Thanks for letting us stay at your beautiful property.

Ferry Cove…Like a dream!
We stayed for a week and did not want to leave. This property is THAT special.
We found it exactly as described and just as pictured. It was charming, fun, comfortable, relaxing, and well appointed. We especially loved the dining room and beverage bar area, where we played games and left messages for each other and documented our activities on the chalkboard. We had fun using the intercom, outdoor dinner bell, hammock, and fire pit. The framed SmartTV that looked like art was something else! So neat. The extra touches and decor were so appreciated and not lost on us. We loved everything about the house, even down to the hidden message written inside the upstairs desk drawer. This house should be featured in Sunset Magazine. It’s just that special and we will always remember our time here fondly.
The location is incredible. The views of the Possesion Sound, Hat Island, and Mt. Baker are breathtaking. We spent hours upon happy hours beach combing up and down the cove’s beach. We never saw anyone else on the beach, except for some regular visits from the deer, sea lions, egrets, and bald eagles. When not exploring the beach, or other parts of the island, we loved watching the ferries come and go and were surprised by how quiet they were. They were magical at night, all twinkly out on the water.
It truly was like a dream. Dream house. Dream setting. Dream adventures.
Brooke was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive to my questions and she allowed us to check in early. We are so grateful to her and her husband for creating and offering us their little slice of Heaven on Earth.

Beautiful property, amazing views, comfortable and relaxing
My wife and I stayed here 3 nights with our 6 month old son. The house and property are incredibly beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. Brooke was a great host, she got a pack n play for the property so that we didn't have to bring one. She was very helpful and responded quickly to all of our questions. We were happy to have rented from her and would definitely do it again!

Impeccable attention to detail!
We loved our stay at Ferry Cove! The location is great - the house is privately located at the end of a quiet driveway, and the view from the house and the deck is a majestic vista of mountains and sea. You can see a ways down the beach from the house - perfect for young teens who wanted to walk down the beach on their own. They also *loved* the tree swing out front!
The inside of the house is impeccable. Beautifully themed decor, very clean, and the king beds are very comfortable. We all loved the beverage bar in the dining room.
Well-appointed kitchen and high end appliances!
Brooke was great to work with and had the house in ship-shape when we arrived. We’ll be back!

Fun Getaway
I had a girls weekend at this property and from when we booked it to our entire time, we were so well cared for! The property manager was attentive and so helpful with any questions I had and responded quickly. The house was adorable and you can tell someone spent time making it a comfortable home with all the little details that were there. The appliances are all top of the line and clean! The house was well equipped with anything we needed. The views from each room are breathtaking! I loved waking up to the view of the water and incredible sunrise right in front of me! I can’t wait to stay here again!

Super charming with a very gracious host!
My husband, two kids and I spent a weekend at this house, and it was a fantastic experience! The host is very gracious...we were originally set to go out Friday and return Sunday, and the host asked us to stay a few extra hours on Sunday to enjoy the place which was super nice. But, even more generous was when we were not able to go out on Friday due to a personal reason and needed to go on Saturday and had planned on just staying the night, she asked us to stay till Monday! How special is that?
1) The place itself is very charming and immaculately maintained. It has great privacy at the end of the lane and had gorgeous views of the water! The beach is quite private and had only a few people walking or jogging. We even saw a seal or sea otter (couldn't tell!) in the evening! My daughter really enjoyed collecting large shells.
2) The location next to the ferry is so convenient and fun! We enjoyed watching the ferries come and go all day, but they are super quiet.
3) The one neighbor before the house (not very close) is friendly and has a funny, curious dog that came to play with us!
4) The hosts have thought about every detail you can imagine - the most thoughtful of all to us was that the terrific and large deck is fully gated - if you have kids or dogs, you will really appreciate this! It was so relaxing for us! The host left candy cane and chocolate with a note; a cafe area fully stocked that was so fun to have and she even left half and half milk in the fridge for us; so many mugs and any kind of kitchenware you would need; lots of extra warm blankets; even a set of rain boots and a rain jacket that we didn't need to use - I'm sure I'm not remembering everything but there was hardly anything we were looking for!
5) Views out of the kitchen, dining and living room and upstairs bedroom are so beautiful and we miss them!
6) Great wifi, heat
7) One thing that surprised me was that we couldn't find a Grubhub or another food delivery service that would deliver food to us; we went totally unprepared because we just assumed we would order in! We ended up driving to Langley just a few minutes away and picking up pizza at this place called Village Pizzeria I think which was delicious. We got enough for dinner and to take us through the next day. In the future, we will take dinner and breakfast with us!
All in all, we loved the house, privacy, deck, views, beach, and had such a relaxing time! The host is terrific. And, we will return for sure!

PERFECT!
Ferry Cove was truly an amazing experience. My wife and I spent the weekend here to get away from our crazy lives. Everything about this home was PERFECT. We loved the fireplace and being able to sit on the couch with the fireplace on and watch the ferries come and go. The master bedroom over looked the water and you could also watch the ferries come and go from bed. The deck was a stone’s throw from the water such that you could hear the lapping of the waves all night long. The furniture was well thought out and the kitchen was well stocked! We CANNOT wait to come back for a longer period of time. Fall was a wonderful time to go as the trees around the house were changing and the home was cozy.

The Most Dreamy and Beautiful Home
Ferry Cove is the most idyllic, dreamy, pristine property. The owners did not miss a single detail and in fact went above and beyond in their accommodations.
Let’s start with the outside. The yard and the garden are in mint condition and would inspire any magazine feature. Beautiful outdoor seating overlooking the Puget Sound, fire pit, paddle boards, yard games, and every amenity you could think of and more.
We loved cozying up to the wood crackling fire playing cards inside, as the rain came down one night. There are great board games, puzzles and so much for indoor fun.
The kitchen was fabulous with a fantastic induction stove which made cooking very efficient. All new appliances which is also a bonus.
The rooms were done with every intentional thought, wallpaper, was beautiful and decorated perfectly.
Newly renovated bathrooms with no detail missed, bedding towels all very high quality.
We just loved the theme of the house, it was creative and yet classy and cozy in every way. The owners were kind, gracious, and so very accommodating.
We loved that it was right off the ferry, and a quick drive to Langley and a few other fun island spots. We cannot wait to come back to Ferry Cove. This is a place where beautiful memories will be made. We highly recommend!

Fantastic retreat spot
This place is magical! From the location to every thoughtful detail in the design and layout of the home and property, I can't think of a better spot for being refreshed and inspired. My business partners and I used it for a quick offsite strategy retreat and it suited our needs perfectly. Convenient from Seattle/Bellevue, the property is walkable from Clinton/Whidbey Island ferry terminal. The hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive. Can't wait until the next time I can visit ; whether another business retreat or a great spot to get away as a family!
