About this house rental
Escape to your enchanting waterfront haven on Whidbey Island, perched on a stunning bluff with beach access just 1 mile into town! Unwind in this private retreat, perched high on an 82' bank, overlooking the serene Saratoga Passage. With panoramic Puget Sound views stretching to the majestic Cascade Mountains, this coastal-flair Colonial home welcomes you with open arms.
Step into a light-filled haven where every glance unveils breathtaking scenery. The open layout seamlessly connects the living, dining, and primary suite to the outdoors. French doors lead to an expansive deck and lush grounds, setting the stage for memorable gatherings with friends. Whether you're basking in natural light in the kitchen, gazing through abundant view windows, or savoring the spectacle of passing boats and occasional whales, this is a haven of relaxation.
Spend leisurely hours on your private deck and lawn, surrounded by pristine landscaping. Inside, large windows frame the ever-changing Sound. Langley's charms await nearby – indulge in beaches, art stores, bookshops, and local dining. Venture further to explore the full allure of Whidbey Island.
Rest comes easy in the main house's 2 large bedrooms with king beds, and a third bedroom boasting 2 xl twin beds. Need more space? Discover extra daybeds, including one in the private den and another upstairs. An inflatable queen bed ensures everyone's comfort. Stay connected with Wi-Fi and enjoy entertainment on 5 TVs with streaming services.
At approximately 2900 sq ft, the Colonial beauty accommodates 6 guests, offering ample room to unwind. The double garage hosts a game room, warmed by a remote-lit propane stove, home to card games and ping pong battles.
Lewis John Carlino, famed screenwriter, once called this retreat home, finding inspiration in the panoramic scenes. Just as he penned masterpieces like "The Great Santini" and "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden," let this haven kindle your own creativity and awe, all while basking in the Puget Sound's embrace. Your story begins here.

There’s quite a bit of space to spread out in this clean, cute rental. Gardens are lovely, kitchen is well stocked (loved the pizza and swag on arrival) and it’s a quick 4 minute drive to downtown

The house itself was beautiful. However, we found a dead rabbit and a bag of trash left by (we believe) the prior guests. The information on the website did not match what was on the binder. When I asked where the router was, they gave me wrong information (I eventually found it). Also, beware of the company they use to confirm ID. They require you to upload an ID and they openly state ion their privacy page that they share it with 3rd parties. Finally, I got a txt upselling - later checkout, which felt like a discount airline charging for every little thing.

We were delighted with the property. It was clean, spacious (for the two couples traveling this time) and had a great view of the water. Very convenient to downtown Langley. Would be perfect for my whole family (3 couples with two children) if the third bedroom had at least a full size bed. Otherwise, perfect.

Great home for a family weekend celebration. Beautiful grounds, spectacular views, lots of wildlife. Quiet neighborhood and Langley is a walkable distance away. Would stay here again.

I was excited about this stay just based on the listing and rave reviews. Im happy to say everything lived up to my expectations. The view and serene setting were so spectacular it didnt matter if it was a rainy day, we turned on the front fireplace and played family board games, drank a cup of coffee, or cozied up with a book. There was ample space and amenities to use. I truly hope we get to come back someday and experience it again.

Stayed here for a weekend with my girlfriends. We were delighted upon arrival to see the place looked just as gorgeous as the photos! Plenty of beds for everyone, a cozy couch for hanging out, a nice dining room for dinners at home, and the outside view is just incomparable. Loved having the Adirondack chairs out for our morning coffee and afternoon wine. We even saw two bald eagles landing in the bluff below the house! The only thing that could make this house better would be a hot tub. We’ll be back!

I’ve stayed in many rentals on Whidbey and this one ranks as the best. The view is stunning rain or shine. The home has a very well appointed kitchen and being a mile walk from the Star grocery store makes it easy to stock the fridge or enjoy takeout. The space is great for families or friend groups with essentially 3 suite areas with full bathrooms. We didn’t get to take advantage of the yard but a sunny day and the bbq would be hard to beat. Fantastic communication via text for easy questions and check out. I’d like to keep this a hidden gem so it’s always available for me lol! But hope you’ll give it a try.

Beautiful property and great views. Close to the town of Langley but far enough away affording privacy and quiet. Plenty of room for our group of six. A book gave detailed instructions on using the property. Only bit of confusion was I was given 3 different door codes to gain entry. We would definitely stay again.

Reviewer Comments:
Colonial by the sea was perfectly situated -in a quiet neighborhood overlooking the sound for a serene view from sunrise to sunset and walking distance to downtown Langley. The house was well appointed & clean. The management was responsive to any issues we had. We had fewer guests than beds. The “extra” beds wouldn’t have been long enough for my tall adult sons. We’d stay there again if we go back. Other wedding attendees agreed that we had found the best house.

Beautiful, spacious, sun-filled home with stunning view of the water. Perfect place for 4 sibling and partners to gather for wedding of sister.

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed a wonderful week in this immaculately clean home. Our family (6 adults) appreciated the kitchen with large and newer refrigerator and chef's gas range/oven.Huge dining room was not only perfect for meals, but also the "office" (remote work), and nightly games.Multiple windows downstairs allowed abundant light and provided lovely views, not only to Saratoga Passage but also to the greenery surrounding the property.The layout of the house has plus and minuses. The sleeping spaces will work well for families with younger children or teens, but not great for three couples. A downstairs primary bedroom with large en-suite is great for one couple. Upstairs is a second large bedroom with a king bed. Another upstairs very small bedroom has two twin beds and a low ceiling one side. Unfortunately, the twin bedroom and upstairs king share a single very small bath.Downstairs is a fourth sleep area (twin) in the den, with small 3/4 bath down the hall. The sleeping arrangements overall worked ok for our family (3 adult couples), but we switched bedrooms half-way during the stay to make sleeping arrangements more equitable. Overall the other qualities of the house, the view and location would draw us back again. We'd have to plan ahead about the sleeping arrangement, though, or decide we will only be 2 couples, not 3.

We rented the house to get away for a long weekend. It was Me/my wife and a couple that flew out from PA to enjoy some Whidbey magic. This house was perfect for us. Plenty of space with comfortable furniture (great beds!) so that we could be together or get some solo time. Ping Pong table in the garage was a fun way to spend some time. House was well appointed with soft sheets, towels, and necessary kitchen supplies. Not only will we come back to stay at this house, my wife is now thinking about taking her annual 'girls weekend' up to this property. Communication with management company through text was exceptionally easy.
