Perfect Whidbey Island getaway
This is our 2nd stay at the Anchor House! We love everything about it, the beachy décor, ease of walking to the beach, extremely clean, rooftop deck with table/chairs and a great size yard. It has everything you would want in a rental: a bbq, fully equipped kitchen with great knives, extra blankets and Karen, the owner, is so nice and extremely responsive.

Old Farm House
Love the property! Has just about everything you need! The owners communicated quickly. The only thing I would suggest is if you aren’t use to sleep with no AC, bring you own fan. There are two fan in the house or you can sleep with the windows open. I’d highly recommend staying here! It reminded me of a house I grow up in.

Wonderful house! Wonderful location!
We stayed at Anchor House on Whidbey Island in late December. The house is so unique! Beautiful built-ins in the bedroom upstairs and an oar for a railing. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back in a heartbeat!

Amazing beach get-away!
What an amazing home with water views. A quick walk to the beach, less than 5 minutes, too! The home was the perfect place to enjoy drinks on the deck and everything you need to cook is there (we grabbed local seafood almost every night). Be sure to stop at all the local farm stands along the way or the Saturday farmer's market to really get a local feel. We will definitely be back.
