The huge deck is perfect for taking in a meal, relaxing, whale watching, seeing herons fish in Puget Sound and bald eagles soar above. 2 Bedrooms, 2 baths, the large family room and deck give 1600 sq ft to stretch out. A gas fireplace provides ambiance and warmth upstairs, while the downstairs has a wood stove insert to make even winter nights cozy. Grab the binoculars and watch the multitude of boat traffic, from cruise ships to tug boats to fishing and sail boats, and even the occasional submarine! In the March - May evenings, the frog chorus is a reminder that you're not in the city any more. Swallows or other small birds like to nest in the bird houses in front of the kitchen windows between April to June providing a unique perspective of the local wildlife. Walk 1/2 mile through lovely Point No Point Park to explore the beach and light house. Turn the lights down and enjoy the twinkling lights in the distance or the moon's bright reflection on the sparking water. Away from the city lights, you can seemingly see every star in the Milky Way..... While the city is not far away, this house is located in a rural area. The last 200 yards are dirt road. It has a septic system and is on a well. You may hear coyotes at night. A new water filtration system was installed in 2021/22\. Additional drinking water is provided in easy to change 5 gal hot/cold dispenser. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Spelunking nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 1,650 square feet ## Similar properties ![Premier Room | Balcony view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21230000/21224000/21223955/w3097h2080x0y0-84a19f2f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Saratoga Inn Langley - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 522 reviews £130 includes taxes & fees 4 Mar - 5 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-04&endDate=2026-03-05&selected=21223955&PinnedHotelID=21223955&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Restaurant](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22230000/22224900/22224813/0d97a3ad.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Comforts of Whidbey Langley - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 62 reviews £145 includes taxes & fees 4 Mar - 5 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-04&endDate=2026-03-05&selected=22224813&PinnedHotelID=22224813&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/54000000/53740000/53736200/53736145/d8135829.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach house with views of Puget Sound, ferry, North Cascades, Mt Baker, Rainier.

We greatly enjoyed sitting on the deck in the early morning drinking coffee and watching the traffic on the water, large and small. We also enjoyed walking the trails at nearby parks. The house itself has a homey feel with new carpeting and furnishing that are in excellent condition. No sagging couches here! The kitchen and baths are reasonably equipped and the house is very clean. We also appreciated the fact that the homeowner was very responsive and accommodating. ##### Jeff E. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liv F. 17 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy getaway with great beach time We stayed here for the Thanksgiving holiday as a quick getaway. The home was clean, cozy, and comfortable. The beach is a short walk through woods and allows for long strolls. We saw about 50 seals out in the water, an unexpected treat. It’s also a bird area, so lots of bird watching to be done. The view from the house is expansive and beautiful. We had a couple of small hiccups (mix up with door code and a short power outage) but Lydia was quick to respond and help resolve things. The power outage actually added to the experience - there were plenty of candles and we had a quiet, screen free family evening. It is important to note the well water, but there is plenty of drinking water on hand. Also worth noting, the downstairs shower is wonderful. We had a great visit and would definitely recommend a stay here. ##### Liv F. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen B., Seattle, WA/Willemstad, Curacao 8 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We had a beautiful two weeks at Lydia’s place in Hansville. The shipping lanes were what drew us to this retreat in Hansville, and they did not disappoint. My husband’s passion is photographing ocean-going vessels, and his days were full watching the paradade of ships pass our deck. There were only two of us, but the house would have easily provided a great vacation for a whole family. Lydia was very responsive and eager to be please while sharing her beautiful haven. She took our suggestions to heart for making her spot as seamless as possible. There is a lot of light coming into the upstairs bedroom in the morning, so late sleepers may want to choose to sleep downstairs. My husband is quite tall, so the short queen bed was uncomfortable for him, but we managed. The gas fireplace kept us cozy during the early summer chills we had when we first arrived. Overall, we had a very pleasant two weeks communing with nature and counting ships. Thanks, Lydia, for sharing your special place with us. ##### Ellen B. Stayed 14 nights in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Susan Q. 1 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Amazing views, nice house but needs water improvements. My family of 4 stayed for 3 nights in July. The views are amazing, spending time on the deck in the morning with my coffee watching the boats and seaplanes go by was spectacular. So quiet and relaxing on the deck and the house is very clean and spacious. However there was a big drawback that we weren't aware of until just before our arrival date which is the water. The water has a ton of minerals (iron?) in it which makes it undrinkable so you have to use bottled water. The owner provided a starting supply which was very appreciated. However, I really feel the owner should address the water issue and fix the problem or make it known on the listing description. It's not just remembering to use the bottled water when making your coffee or getting a drink, there is a significant unpleasant smell when taking a shower. And similar to how the minerals in the water have turned the bathtub and dishwasher a orange/rust color, after 3 days of showering & washing hands in this water I noticed my skin/nails had turned a slight orange color as well. :-( For one or two nights no biggie, but be aware if you plan to stay longer. Also there is a neighboring rooster that starts making noise not only at the crack of dawn but all morning long...keep the windows in the bedroom shut. The owner is super nice & attentive so I feel bad complaining but I just think the water issue is significant enough to mention. Sorry! ##### Susan Q.
