Visit 7/2023

We loved this property, the views, the location in town and the owner was beyond helpful before and during our stay. It was also very clean and tastefully decorated. This is the only place we will ever stay in Whidbey Island.

Perfect Vacation Destination

My pals and I came to Coupeville to come to a photography workshop. Salty Von’s Inn is lovely - our Waterfront Suite was quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed coming “home” for lunch every day and dining in. The kitchen is one of the nicest kitchens that I have ever seen in a VRBO.

Von and Barbara have thought about everything :)

Friends and I were in Coupeville for a photography workshop - and will hopefully be able to rent a space at Salty Von's Inn again! The space is lovely, the location can't be beat, and the light is fabulous. Thank you for helping us have a stellar adventure!

Why they chose this property

Salty Vons Waterfront Inn was built in 1886 and is on the national register as part of the Ebey's Landing National Historic Reserve. The Reserve was the nation's first national historic reserve and was established to protect and preserve the rural community of central Whidbey Island. It includes the town, the farms and fields, roads, historic sites and buildings throughout the reserve, including the building that is now home to Salty Vons Waterfront Inn. Over the past three years the owners have meticulously restored the building with careful attention to preserve the historic details and at the same time create luxuriously unparalleled vacation homes.
