The Best Beach House!
Repeat visit. This house is just amazing. I return for the art - such a compliment to the view. My family loves it for the location, ease and amenities. This is one of the best stocked houses you’ll find. The owners obviously stay there a lot and are gracious to allow vacationers to enjoy their lovely spot and home. Thank you again!!

Whidbey Island Beach Home
I cannot say enough about how great a home this is. We had 8 family members, and we were all easily accommodated. A great location, solidly-built beach cottage vibe, wonderful kitchen and great room, and sunsets over the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains that you have to see to believe. We will definitely book it again

This was our 4th year here and I think it’s become a family tradition. Our 5 year old granddaughter is already asking when we can go back to the Adventure House. As usual it had everything we needed including 2 bikes and a canoe.

Birthday Weekend at the Beach
Absolutely beautiful sunny April weekend on Whidbey and it was made completely perfect with a wonderful and seamless stay at Ella’s Beach House. This home was immaculate, comfortable, fully stocked, and right on the water boasting a view of pristine sunsets! This home allowed the right amount of space and access to all outdoor beach activities as well as creating a cozy and warm environment for evening dinners and family time. Our daughter’s birthday weekend with friends and family was made perfect by staying at Ella’s Beach House. It is beautiful and we are looking forward to staying again!

Beautiful home & oceanfront property
Just wanted to share our recent experience at this incredible oceanfront property. Picture this: waking up to the soothing sound of waves, sipping coffee with a breathtaking view, and feeling the ocean breeze on your face – pure bliss! The custom home was cozy. If you're all about a good night's sleep, this place will not disappoint. The only "person" who loved it more than us was our golden retriever. She loved swimming in the ocean. Highly recommend for some serious relaxation and lovely long walks on the beach.

A Seaside Sanctuary!
Ror and Lori’s place is truly exceptional. The house was spotless, stocked with everything (and more) that you could imagine and the location is unbeatable. My sister and I took our Mom for her 80th Birthday. She has been extremely sick and wanted to spend some time at the beach staring at the water, watching the birds, seals, boats… one last time. This home couldn’t have been a better place to do it. The views are spectacular from the whole lower level and the primary bedroom (where our Mom stayed). Our days were filled with beach combing, walks in the neighborhood, visits to nearby Langley and Freeland, and sitting on the large deck watching the Herons fish right in front of the house! Such a fun time! Ror and Lori are great communicators and thoughtful hosts. It’s obvious that this home is their special place as well. My sister and I hope to come back again in the future! Thank you, Ror and Lori, for sharing your home!

Perfect Beach House
Our extended family loved this house and would move in tomorrow given half a chance :) !! The house is literally on the beach and so quiet we barely saw anyone the entire weekend. Everything you could possible need is provided - it really does feel like home. Dinner on the deck with sunset as a backdrop, and waking up to the view from the master bedroom were the highlights for me. Thanks for a memorable stay!

Coming to the beach house for a week has become a family tradition. This year we used it to celebrate our 50 years of marriage. We hired a photographer to take family photos on the beach. It was a magical time for all of us.

This property was the perfect place to celebrate my 70th birthday with my husband and four of my closest friends for a full week. Now I know why all of the reviews are so positive. It’s the place that we would build if we could move to this area. It’s perfectly stocked in the kitchen and all areas —and my husband is a picky person when it comes to the kitchen. If you come here, stop by the house before buying groceries as it’s well stocked with condiments and more. The place is well-built and quiet. We saw maybe six people (or the same two) in seven days. Note that the third bathroom is downstairs, which still worked for three couples to each have their own bathroom. GREAT linens. My birthday wish was to see an eagle. We saw them everyday! It was almost as if they posed for us. Ror, the owner, was quick to respond when we had questions even from the very beginning of booking this reservation. Trust me, this is the place you want to be if you’d like to enjoy a waterfront property vacation. We can’t wait to return! Mr. & Mrs. John C.

Perfect on our stormy week!
The home is perfectly situated on the water. Windows cover the front of the home and we enjoyed the view watching the storms roll in and out and the seagulls breaking shells. The kitchen is well equipped and we found everything we needed. All of the bedrooms are upstairs and all with comfortable beds. The home has beautiful finishes and comfortable furniture. We felt pampered staying here and would definitely come again.

Solitude on the water
My family's stay at Ella's Cottage was a wonderful chance to unwind and enjoy the simplicity of island life. Most days were spent playing on the sand with shells, building forts with driftwood, and watching the tide roll in and out from the beautiful back deck and yard.. We barely saw another soul. The home is comfortable, cozy, and beautifully appointed. The chef's kitchen made cooking a dream. The cottage had everything anyone could possibly want or need, including thoughtful touches like warm blankets, binoculars, boots, sand toys, and a welcome gift. We hope to return to Whidbey and Ella's one day soon.

Our second time staying here was just as wonderful as our first time. I loved that the house was so spacious that we could retreat to our bedrooms then gather together downstairs or outside. Our 3 year old enjoyed having the play lawn and we all appreciated the easy access to the beach. And then there were the sunsets!!
