Welcome to Anchor Shores! We've recently remodeled the entire home, making this the most up-to-date home on the beach!
You can listen to the ocean rumble on the beach right outside our 4000 square foot, 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom beachfront home. No need to walk to the ocean – just a few steps over the rock bulkhead and you’re already there! Look at the photos to see how close the beach really is. If you're not into rock climbing, you can access the beach from the park just a few blocks south.
What is the view really like? You will look due west down the Strait of Juan de Fuca as the sun sets while looking south to the Olympic Peninsula, northwest to the San Juan Islands and north to Anacortes. You can even see the lights of Victoria, BC at night!
All four bedrooms are upstairs. The primary bedroom has a king-sized bed and it's own separate bathroom. The bunk room has two queen beds on the ground and two twin XL beds above. The third bedroom has a king-sized bed. The fourth bedroom has a queen-sized bed and it's own separate bathroom. An additional full bath is in the hallway directly across from bedrooms #2 & #3.
Each bedroom opens up to an upstairs deck - excellent for whale, dolphin and sunset watching. Our home will comfortably sleep twelve – perfect for two to three families. Two of the bedrooms have their own bathroom suites, and another bathroom off the hallway serves the remaining bedrooms.
Anchor Shores comes complete with all high thread count linens, a fully equipped kitchen, large capacity washer and dryer, parking for up to four cars, high speed Internet and WiFi, cable access to over 220 channels and two fully Internet enabled HDTVs - one is a 75” flat-screen in the living room and the other is a 50” flat screen in the kids’ media room.
The main floor features a warm, open kitchen with flat cooktop facing the water; a dining room with seating for twelve; a large, open living room with seating for everyone, and separate seating areas for book reading or ocean watching.
Our home away from home is located just minutes from Oak Harbor, but secluded from the noise of the city. Close by are the world famous Gallery Golf Course, Fort Ebey State Park, Deception Pass State Park, and the ferry from Coupeville to Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula.
And if you're looking for something to eat, you can cook for yourself in the fully appointed kitchen while watching the waves crash on the beach, or you can enjoy one of our favorite local restaurants.
The best part about Anchor Shores is that Whidbey Island has some of the lowest rainfall in Washington State, making any time of the year right for a Pacific Northwest vacation. While many parts of Washington experience annual rainfall of 30” or more (220” in the Olympic Rain Forest), Whidbey Island will enjoy less than 20” of rain each year since it is located in the Olympic Mountain Rain Shadow.
We do have a no pet policy, including hypoallergenic animals, and this is especially important due to severe allergies in our family.
Why not take in the ocean and the views for a most relaxing and memorable vacation?
Come and enjoy the spellbinding effects of sun, surf and sea breezes that are never further than your front doors. Anchor Shores on the way to experience the best of the ocean.
