Welcome to our beautifully remodeled West Beach cabin, we lovingly call the Orca Sunset Beach House and where the beach is literally outside the door.
As you enter our home a wall of floor to ceiling windows will greet you. Unveiling a stunning view of the Olympic Mountain range, strait of Juan de Fuca, the San Juan Islands, endless miles of beach and ocean water views.
Our home was built with only one theme in mind…the view. The window canvas allows you to take in all the sights and the natural beauty of the wildlife visiting the beach or swimming in the ocean. The bald eagles, cranes, and otters will greet you throughout the day, but they are especially playful in the morning.
Wake up to the sound of the waves, and the water hitting the rocks. Relax on the front porch with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine as you listen to the ocean glide across the beach. Depending on the time you visit, you will be visited by a beautiful sandy beach you can walk miles on.
The deck is new and has several chairs and a loveseat to enjoy your wine, beer, coffee, tea or water and watch the waves and sea life!
If you love to hike (the entrance to Joseph Whidbey State Park is visible from our driveway), golf (literally minutes away), or hope to find some fun eateries and other beaches and forts, there are several locations to choose from throughout the island!
This small kitchen has everything you need to cook and dine, while enjoying the views from every corner of the great room.

In Oak Harbor, not more than a ten-minute drive is Safeway, Walmart, Whidbey Coffee, most basic shops, and the Commissary and NEX if you have military privileges. They will check for military ID to be allowed on the Oak Harbor base in there in the city. The same is true for the base on your way when driving from Deception Pass. The two drive in coffee stands, at the entrance to the big base, and in sight of each other, but both are both very good!
