Visiting Family at NAS Whidbey Island

The city of Oak Harbor is home to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, so a lot of people find themselves wanting to visit someone on base, and often homecomings and family visits can include multiple people, which means more than one room at a hotel.

With Beach Dreams, everyone has a place to stay that suits their needs. Parents can relax in the comfort of a king suite while the kids have fun in the Bunk Retreat with bunks and an Xbox.

A washer and dryer and full kitchen keep life comfortable for those staying longer, and a desk and fast internet keep remote workers connected every time they're not at the base.
