Whidbey Island Beachfront Rentals Where the Tide Comes to You

Step off the deck and onto the sand. The bay takes care of the rest.

Some views make you work for them. This one meets you at the front door. Beach Dreams on Whidbey is one of the few Whidbey Island beachfront rentals where the shoreline begins at the edge of the patio, right on Admiralty Bay in Coupeville.

An architect in the area built the house for themselves in 1967. The house has undergone full remodeling from floor to ceiling. The neighborhood refers to the house as the "Butterfly Home." This is due to its roofline, which is shaped like two open wings, as it goes upward on both ends.

Why Living Right on the Water Changes the Whole Trip

Plenty of Whidbey Island beach rentals sit a short drive from the shore. That drive starts to feel long by day two, especially with a cooler in one hand and a kayak paddle in the other.

At Beach Dreams, the sand sits right past the patio. The property is no bank waterfront, which means a flat, easy stroll from your chair to the water's edge.

Early morning guests enjoy their first cup of coffee on the wraparound deck. Later in the evening, after the last rays of sun sink behind the Olympics, most of the guests wander to the fire pit to watch the flames while sitting on the six Adirondack chairs that are positioned towards the bay.

What You Will See from the Deck

Admiralty Bay is active, and that's one of the things I like best about it. Ferries travel between Port Townsend and Coupeville. Further away, through the open water of Puget Sound, larger ships cruise on.

It is wise to keep your binoculars nearby because whales are known to travel these waters. There is a telescope by the window if something is spotted on the water.

Clear nights bring the glow of city lights across the water. Stormy days put on their own show, best enjoyed from the couch with the fireplace going and a book by a local author in your lap.

Whidbey Island Waterfront Rentals Close to Central Whidbey's Best

Few Whidbey Island waterfront rentals sit this close to so much history. Fort Casey and its lighthouse are practically next door, and downtown Coupeville is an easy hop up the road.

Beachfront Rental FAQs

Is Beach Dreams right on the beach?

Yes. The home sits on a bank waterfront in the Admiralty Bay community, so the shore is only a few steps from the patio.

How many guests can this Whidbey Island beach house sleep?

Eight guests sleep in beds across two king suites and the Bunk Retreat. Two inflatable queen beds make room for a couple more.

Can you kayak right from the beach?

That’s true. The kayaks and life vests are kept in the garage. On still summer mornings, paddling the bay is easy.
