KINGFISHER BEACH HOUSE - Right on the beach - West-facing waterfront.

Whether looking for a couple's retreat, a weekend with friends, or a family getaway to build sand castles and driftwood forts, the Kingfisher Beach House is the perfect combination of architectural and natural beauty. Nestled peacefully toward the end of a forgotten beach road, this home brings the Olympic Mountains and Admiralty Inlet into every moment of your vacation.
The 'Kingfisher' is so close to the beach that we built it on stilts and, from almost every angle of this angular home, you are greeted by water. At night, you will fall asleep to the chuckle of churning waves, and in the morning your eyes will open to soft light painted on the snow-capped Olympic Mountains. Once inside, you are surrounded by craftsmanship at its very best. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and baking, and the open floor plan allows you to be part of the action while you create. The main house has three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, a walk through closet for stowing your stowables, and a spacious walk-in shower to refresh you after your day of fun. Downstairs are two more bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and the other with two twin-size beds. The main level shower was designed after a Japanese shower room - large enough for multiples, with a deep soaking tub and showering area all in this same room. Feel free to let your kids splash until their splashers are tired, as this entire room was designed to get wet. This home was just completed and is now ready for you and your friends and family to relax at the beach.

While staying at the Kingfisher, you will experience this wonderful beach location with the comfort and privacy rarely experienced on beach property. Walk 200 yards south down the beach and you will be exploring over a mile of undeveloped, protected beach and tidelands. On any given walk, you and your friends and family will be sharing this space with kingfishers, eagles, osprey, seals, otters, and all of the tide-pool critters that live in the shallows of the Puget Sound. Keep your eyes on the water while you are cooking dinner or sitting on the deck and you might also see the porpoises patrol the beach. Please note that during the salmon run you can put on your hip-waders, secure a buzz bomb to your favorite pole, and cast with abandon. It is a well-kept, local secret that this beach yields some of the best salmon fishing on the island. If you have kayaks, bring them along, for a quick shove off from your beach will have you exploring some of the most beautiful coastline on South Whidbey.

The house has WiFi and smart TV, and is the perfect place to sit by the fire and watch the game. The deck has Adirondack chairs to lounge in and a propane grill at the ready so that you can feed the loungers.

I guess the big rule for the house is to have fun - lots of it! My main, humble asking is that you treat our family home with respect. We love this place! The home was built so that your family and mine can enjoy the beach for years to come.


Thank you so much for your interest and please enjoy the beach.

Talked to host once, he was in Germany and still called me back. I Never needed him after that.
House has pretty much everything you could need. Coffee grinder... some food, some condiments... every kinda pan and cooking utensil. Bathrooms are pretty nice. w/d works well enough. If it's not clear this is The Kingfisher House... there are t-shirts in every size and color in case you want to take one home. We were 2 couples, master bedroom was nice, huge closet and bathroom... but my partner and I decided to take the Queen bed downstairs... that bathroom is also awesome. The house does have a Sonos speaker--which is awesome-- but it is ancient and you will have to work to get it connected. Beach was sick. Riding the ferry is sick. Washington is an incredible place.

Fantastic Getaway
We wanted a short family getaway before the holidays. The Kingfisher Beach House was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make meals at home. Beds were comfortable and the bathrooms made us feel like we were staying at a spa. We will be back for another visit in the future.

Lovely location, house, and owner. We came up on a stormy weekend and no worries when the power went out as they have an automatic transfer to generator. Great location to kick back and relax. Looking forward to coming back in a warmer month.

Stunning views, comfortable space
Our family had a memorable time at Kingfisher beach house. We all agreed the best part was being right on the beach. We took way too many pictures of the gorgeous views. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of towels and other necessities. Andy was very responsive and made it easy to rent. I would recommend this property.

Great view!
We had a great time at the house. We gave a lower star only in terms of updates needed and or listing clarified for others! Owner's helpful and kind to work with. Property only had air conditioning in kitchen only.! Bedrooms stuffy and no airflow or air conditioning in any of bedrooms. I would be concerned coming in warmer months. Lighting in master bath inadequate and shower pressure very low. We needed to use downstairs shower. No window coverings in master bedroom upper windows and neighbors left on spotlight nightly . We really needed cushions for outdoor furniture and none were available. Very sparse furniture. No closets in 2 lower bedrooms. TV placed very high on wall hard to watch comfortably , and fireplace did not work well.

Beautiful and peaceful
This home is wonderful in every way from the beautiful architecture and views out of every window to the comfortable beds and even to the games and puzzles (and yes we did three puzzles during our stay and all three had all the pieces!) The kitchen is easy to use and nothing was out of order in the house. The location is absolutely stunning. Lots of walks on the beach, especially during low tide, will give our family a lifetime of amazing memories including watching many bald eagles fishing, deer walking across the beach, and finding cute bunnies in the yard. Andrew was a fantastic host and we hope to stay here again in the future.

What a great getaway house! It is well-appointed, and the kitchen has everything we need. It was great to be able to charge our vehicle at the house. The beach was amazing for long walks, and terrific mountain biking was close by. The house is exactly as presented in the VRBO description, and the owner was easily accessible. We will be back.

We celebrated an anniversary with our family at this beautiful home. We were treated with days of sunny, spring weather, walks on the beach, bald eagle sightings, Rainier on the horizon, and the warming fire pit at night. Toss in fabulous meals, both at the house and the surrounding coastal communities, and we had all the elements of a memorable family vacation. Thank you!

Winter getaway
The Kingfisher Beach House is our favorite place to rent on Whidbey Island. The location is convenient to the ferry and the charming town of Langley. However, once you enter this gorgeous home, you may never want to leave! The house is pristine and elegant in design and function. From the fully stocked kitchen to the spa like showers, we were able to fully relax and enjoy our winter vacation. Every day was spent walking the beach for hours at low tide, watching birds and crashing waves, breathing in fresh ocean air. Our stay was truly enhanced by the thoughtful owner via messages and a wonderful welcome gift from local businesses. Thanks to Andy for the best impromptu getaway during the busy holiday season. It was effortless, rejuvenating and such a wonderful place to bond with our family.
