A sister property to Sunset Beach Haven, this beloved retreat on Whidbey Island is the perfect getaway. Nestled on famous Penn Cove, this charming single-story, 2BR, 2BA home offers direct beach access, stunning 180° views of the Olympic and Cascade Mountains and all the comforts of home including Air Conditioning. NEW! For 2025 is central AC for those few hot days we now get. An efficient NEW mini-split heat pump has been installed in 2025 for quiet and comfortable heating and cooling. Unwind on our spacious deck, gather around the fire pit, stroll the beach, hide away on the private outdoor promontory, or cozy up inside to enjoy the scenery. Plus, enjoy seasonal use of kayaks and a rowboat (waiver required). Most comfortable for groups of up to four Guests, but we can accommodate a fifth Guest with an additional fee. Children, including infants need to be included in Guest count as we are on a sensitive two bedroom septic system. Conveniently located between Coupeville and Oak Harbor, enjoy fabulous VIEWS south across Penn Cove of the Olympic Mountains and Coupeville, and east of the Cascades! With annual rainfall of just over 21 inches, nearly half of the regional rainfall, you can enjoy being in the rain shadow of Whidbey Island. Read our over 500 combined 5 star reviews and this should paint a picture of what we value most - YOU, our Guests, and providing beautiful and comfortable spaces that are well-supplied so you can create wonderful memories in amazing settings. Sandpiper Haven is truly a bird watcher's paradise with floating flocks of resident and migratory water fowl and overhead visits by a neighboring family of eagles. For the seafood lovers, try mussel and clam digging and enjoy fishing just steps from the back door. The day brings beautiful views of boats, seals and otters playing in the water, and of the snowy peaks of the Olympic Mountains rising in the distance beyond the shores of Penn Cove. To the east catch glimpses of the Cascade Mountains as well. The house is south facing to capture the warmth of the sun on a large private deck in fair weather, or inspire romance watching storm-churned waves while comfortably seated indoors by the large stone fireplace with esthetic LED candle light and drift wood insert. Evenings can be spent by a private fire pit roasting marshmallows, curled up with a book in our comfy Great Room, playing games and doing puzzles with friends and family, or watching a movie. Or, you may prefer an evening out with great dining options in Coupeville, Langley, Oak Harbor and beyond. This is a low-allergen environment. For this reason, no pets (including service animals) and no smoking /vaping/marijuana use are permitted in the house or on any part of the property, including the deck, gardens, and promontory. Odors can waft from outside into the house and our rules are strictly enforced. Thank you for your commitment to keeping our home low-allergen. Ask if you have any questions. During Peak Months (basically May through Sept, and occasionally later in April and early October) also enjoy access to two sea kayaks and a 12' Rowboat to Qualified Guests to explore the cove, fish or crab. We have crabbing and fishing gear too. Separate signed waiver required to access the boats. Ask before you book if you need confirmation if the boats are available to you outside of May through September dates. Also, possible access to the local small, private, heated outdoor community pool as our valued Guests mid-June through Labor Day is on a limited basis. We cannot guarantee pool access to Guests as our CC&R is subject to changing their rules without notice. We have a heavenly pillow-top Queen Bed in the Master, and two twins in the 2nd bedroom also with pillow-top mattresses, that you an push together to make a King Bed (extra linens and a joiner are provided). A sleeper sofa with additional memory foam topper is in the Living Room, and the couch is also the size of a twin bed with the cushions removed. We provide extra linens to help accommodate your sleeping arrangements. We even provide a portable crib and bedding for infants. An outdoor private promontory allows you to get further away from it all, boasting even more up front amazing views down the beach and across Penn Cove towards Coupeville and the mountains. Action seekers may kayak the cove (seasonal use of our boats with waiver) or explore the many hiking and bike trails within minutes from the house. Bring your own boat, kayak, or stand up paddle board and launch it from our private community-owned boat launch and dock just several houses from the property. The house was built in 2003 so is well-insulated and perfect for year-round enjoyment and newly updated heating and cooling systems for central heat and air. Many Guests spend their holidays here, finding plenty of cookware and now also enjoy (2024) our new stainless appliances to their cook holiday meals. More about the area: The historic waterfront town of Coupeville, visible across the cove, can be reached in minutes by car. Oak Harbor, to the North, is also minutes away for major shopping amenities and restaurants. And to the West lies Historical Ebey's Landing Preserve and the nearby Coupeville Ferry with service to historic Port Townsend. Greenbank Winery, antiques shops, galleries, the town of Langley, and Deception Pass are also nearby. Are you a Practical Magic fan? Find iconic movie locations nearby. Best suited for: families, romantic getaways, anniversary celebrations, couples retreats, friend weekends away, visiting others during a local reunion, remote work location, lodging while attending a local workshop, attending a wedding, holiday gatherings, anniversary presents for the grandparents, adventure-seekers, and many more. Although we can only accommodate up to 5 Guests, and cannot host events, it is a great stepping off point for enjoying other events on the island. As Top Performers, we have earned Premier Status with VRBO, and are Superhosts and have Certificate of Excellence elsewhere. Experience for yourself what sets us apart from the pack! Our goal is to exceed your expectations. Note, although we allow for "instant book", we send follow-up questions for Guests to answer to make sure we are a good fit with each other. In the very rare instance, if we discover Guests are not the right fit (such as bringing too many Guests, or pets, or previous poor reviews, or smokers), we request you cancel your booking. To be honest, this has only come up about twice in over 14 years of property management. Just know that we value great communication and conscientious Guests. Thank you. On even more rare occasions (maybe once in over 13 years) we may have received a booking on a different listing site that has not updated to VRBO (usually synced several times a day). We commit to resolving such unlikely events promptly, within 24 hours, and ask forgiveness in advance if such an extremely unlikely event were to occur. Please note we do have two external motion detection security cameras off the front of the house. These comply with all VRBO guidelines, of course. But make sure to ask if you have any questions. Apologies, we are not yet set up for EV Vehicle charging. Guests are not authorized to run electrical charging cables from our home to charge vehicles. We hope to add a charging station someday. There are charging stations nearby in Oak Harbor and Coupeville. Thank you. Note that we do not typically book more than 12 months out. If your booking is more than 12 months from now, kindly send an inquiry first to ensure you are getting the correct rates and no schedule conflicts. If you are booking more than 12 months in advance, there is a chance your rate may need to be accurate. Again, we ask for understanding and we truly try and keep our rates and calendar up to date as much as possible. We have a maximum of 14 day bookings. If you book for longer than this we may need to have you shorten or cancel your stay. We can review greater than 14 day stays, but inquire first. There are additional cleaning fees and other considerations. Thank you. Already booked at Sandpiper Haven, check out our other property: Sunset Beach Haven (property no. 4059156), also waterfront and located on the dramatic west beach of Whidbey Island. It is seriously waterfront, and truly "Like Living on a Boat". Thank you again!

Our favorite activity of the day quickly became wildlife watching, with seals, heron, and especially the diving waterfowl. Kapaw's Iskreme in Coupeville is the best! We also did a sunflower stroll at Scenic Isle Farm and the beautiful sunflowers were a wonderful photo op. Price's Sculpture Forest was a unique outdoor activity, especially the Augmented Reality exhibit. A real treat was the marionberry pie from Three Sisters Market just around the corner. Wonderful view, great food options, all contributed to a relaxing family vacation. Hosts Julie and Peter are great communicators, responsive, and make the rental easy. ##### Glen L.

Julie and Peter have furnished their Sandpiper Haven with pride and thoughtfulness inside and out! The view, deck, landscaping, fire pit and beach are marvelous. All instructions including arrival and departure procedures, hints for adventures, dining, and shopping, and care for their vacation home are written clearly, kindly, and with a sense of humor right down to the poem about how to take care of their septic tank! You will love this place! (To be honest, I'd like to keep all this a secret so we will be able to find a time to stay there again!) ##### Sandy S.

The house was perfectly appointed in location, decor and amenities, and the kitchen well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The living area was so cozy and clean; plenty of games, puzzles and current (not years old!) information on local events and things to do.Julie and Peter were incredible hosts. They provided all the information we could possibly need well before our arrival date, and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. This place is a rare gem, and we look forward to returning. ##### Diana D. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen T.

Communication with Julie and Peter was clear, and provided so much information about the property and the area. Text messages were returned quickly. Directions and check-in were easy. The property itself is clean and well-stocked, and care has been taken to make sure it is comfortable and safe with hand railings, steps being marked, etc. The location is serene and beautiful but still manages to be close to everything. This is now my husband's and my favorite VRBO home and we hope to be back soon! ##### Karen T. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alfred Y.

Excellent communication from them. Except for the rainy weather, we pretty much took all her recommendations of restaurants and sights... The area is pretty quiet and the view off Fort Ebey state park (minutes away) is great for sunset. We can see the snow covered peaks for Olympics from the living room, and definitely effects from the sunrise and sunset. (No direct sunset/sunrise, just the effect created on the clouds and the mountain peaks... Also plenty of wild life viewing of the deck including seals, bald eagles and whale. ##### Alfred Y.

Just booked 2 wk. trip for next year! You will not find a better waterfront home or better hosts. Premier waterfront location w/ 180 degree unobstructed views of Penn Cove, the Cascade and the Olympic Mountains, and your own private house, deck, promenade, firepit, and beach access. Just across the water from the Coupeville Wharf, and minutes from Oak Harbor, both with shopping, restaurants, activities, and tourist attractions. Home is super clean, private, and fairly secluded, on the waterfront in a very safe neighborhood with a community swimming pool (very clean & delightful), community dock (you can fish, swim or throw a crab pot off), and additional easy beach access, if you prefer an easy walk over the stairs. Sailboats moor near the dock, eagles fly over your head, blue heron perch on the beach, deer walk down the road, and there is endless beach to explore with agates, beach glass, and seashells to find. We walked for miles and rarely saw another person on the beach. Home is well stocked and you can truly travel light. Hosts are top notch, generous & accessible if you need anything, or have any questions. They even have a book of current local attractions, restaurant menus, Whidbey Island events and crab and fishing info. There are books for the birdwatcher and a variety for everyone else, games, puzzles, fishing poles, crab pots, 2 kayaks, and a boat. You will love this place & the amazing hosts!! ##### Kira S.

I have come back every year since my first stay. This is a 5 star home with 5 star hosts! Unbelievably clean and welcoming. The home has everything you need and you can truly pack light! The beds are super comfortable, the kitchen is stocked with spices, condiments and coffee. The hosts have done many upgrades including air conditioning! The beach is private, and you often have it all to your self. The weather is amazing, the views are stunning. We watched a bald eagle perch on the dock, seal swim in the cove, fish jumping, and all kinds of wildlife from rare birds to deer on the road. Best location for site seeing on the island! We walked on the ferry for a day trip to Pt. Townsend, we explored Coupeville (the 2nd oldest town in WA) and nearby beaches, State Parks, lighthouses, and forts. We swam in the pool (which is really nice!)! Hosts offer use of a row boat and 2 kayaks. This year we chartered the SUVA schooner and sailed until sunset. I actually read a book for the first time in a while. Great internet. Fishing and crabbing gear is provided and a barbecue to cook your catch on (almost forgot to mention the lovely grounds and outside fire pit and private promenade)! I book a year in advance for fear of missing out! Book with confidence and enjoy your stay. You won't find better accommodations on the island! ##### Kira S.
