About this property

Private Whidbey Island Waterfront Beach Cabin

Enjoy breathtaking views of Puget Sound, Mount Rainier, the Seattle skyline and the North Cascades from this cozy, two-story beach cabin.

This unique property -- Double Bluff Beach Club -- boasts 200 feet of no-bank waterfront on over three acres of beach. Meander 1/4 mile down a private drive and ascend stone stairs to this piece of paradise perched about the trees.

Soak in summer sun from a gorgeous, custom-built deck, or stroll along a sand and driftwood trail to the water's edge. On an enchanted evening, dine beneath the stars or head down to the fire pit to roast marshmallows, to tell stories and to sing songs around a campfire. Just outside the house is a partially covered patio complete with comfortable furniture, a barbecue grill, a dinner bell, a warm outdoor shower and lots of hooks to hang towels and gear from a memorable day at the beach.

Inside you'll find all the comforts of home coupled with unique Island charm. This top-to-bottom remodel is beautiful, bright, and EVERY room has a view! Curl up on the comfy couch with a good book, play board games around the coffee table or simply kick back, take a nap and relax.

The cabin features gleaming, original 1930's wood floors and a fully stocked kitchen/dining area with granite counter tops, bar stools and all-new stainless steel appliances. The family-friendly living room frames picture windows and just beyond it reside a 3/4 bathroom with a granite vanity, a linen closet and the main floor bedroom with a queen bed, new carpet, a built-in closet and that spectacular view!

Descend the spiral staircase to the bunk room. The kiddos will go crazy over two custom bunk beds and two built-in berths, each with its own storage area and night light. The kids' room is complete with puzzles, games and ample room to play. The lower level also features new carpet, a second bedroom with a queen bed and its own private entrance, and a full bath with an over-sized washer and dryer.

DBBC is located at Double Bluff Beach and County Park, a premier spot for outdoor water sports and activities including fishing, crabbing, clamming, kayaking, kiteboarding, skimboarding and paddleboarding. The cabin is minutes away from grocery shopping in Freeland and the Saturday Bayview Farmer's Market (late Apr-Oct). While you are here, be sure to visit Langley -- South Whidbey's charming, seaside village -- for strolling, shopping, whale watching and dining.

Whidbey Island is a gem, home to magical memories and often referred to as 'the shortest distance to far away.' Many have been inspired and rejuvenated by this place, and year after year they continue to return. Double Bluff Beach Club is no different. We think you will LOVE it here!

Valentines Birthday Family Getaway 2024

Had a Great Family Getaway to celebrate Valentines & my wife's Birthday with all of our kids, and our grandson. This property gives you an absolute front row view of Useless Bay on Double Bluff that does not disappoint! THINGS TO KNOW IN ADVANCE!!!We loved our stay, but this property, but it may not be the best choice for those with mobility issues! This home is literally perched on Double Bluff which gives you incredible views, but this requires that you climb up 54 stairs from the beach parking area to access the main door (41 for the lower level). And once you are in the home, the narrow spiral staircase is the only way to get between the upper & lower levels inside. This is not a negative review, as it felt like we were staying in a large treehouse, but something you need to consider based on your travel group!Our Host Paul was EXTREMELY helpful, responsive, and timely when we had questions/concerns/requests before and during our stay! Thank You Double Bluff Beach Club!!!

Beautiful Cabin on the Beach

We take our dog to Double Bluff beach often and have always want to stay at this cabin. It's a beautiful spot with amazing views. Really well set up for our family, and could accommodate a larger group. We loved cooking with the view of the beach and playing games out on the deck.

family trip to Whidbey

This was a great little get away. The views were wonderful, low tides provided time for beachcombing and collecting shells and sand dollars, the fire pit was great to watch the sunsets, the house was comfortable for 4 adults, the owner was responsive to our needs, the steps were a little challenging for us in our 70's but we had young family members to carry our groceries and suitcases! Recommend considering this well located home.

Gorgeous view but takes a hike

The beautiful view was as advertised though packing things up to the cabin takes effort. We enjoyed the deck and grilled twice. If you spent much time in the living room, the furniture wasn't comfortable, but having said that, the queen bed upstairs was very comfortable with a nice view of the water as well.

This has to be one of the most beautiful settings on Whidbey. The weather was gorgeous and we spent most of the time on the stunning deck or walking the large expanse of beach. Double Bluff has everything we needed for a fun gathering of friends.

Amazing views & beach!

This house was perfect for our two families. We had a great time at the beach playing & spent a lot of time on the deck playing games / taking in the views. The access to the property includes a lot of stairs to haul your stuff to the house. Overall we had a great stay.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Tschetter

Host profile image
Two families purchased this home in late 2012 after meeting through a shared interest in kiteboarding. One of the families lives right here on Whidbey Island. The other family live in Seattle. We love Whidbey Island and especially Useless Bay!

Why they chose this property

Useless Bay is unmatched, and this property is amazing! The remodel was a serious labor of love, but it was well-worth the effort. We had a vision for this dusty old diamond in the rough; we believed it could be updated and enjoyed by future generations of families.

What makes this property unique

The cabin sits perched 40' up on Double Buff, but it still has direct waterfront access. The lot is 200' wide and over 3 acres. It's beautiful! World class kiteboarding can be accessed right in front of the cabin October thru April. The property is literally surrounded by 100s of acres of county and state land where you can explore miles of beach and public tidelands year round.
