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!

The house was much better in person and far exceeded our expectations with a beautiful view, comfortable home and everything anyone would need for a relaxing stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage on the cove! It was so nice to have a private beach where the kids could play along with the outdoor deck, garden, and fire pit. The cottage was the perfect size for our family of four, and we had all the amenities we needed (included a full kitchen with everything including a blender for our daily smoothies!). The location was also great and so were the hosts. We'd definitely come back and stay again! ##### kristen k. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tileli A.

Great location, short distance to Oak Harbor for restaurants. You're also close to Deception Pass to the north or Ebby's Landing to the south. You're in the middle of both so the best location for getting outdoors too.The house sits in a quiet neighborhood, with stairs leading down to the beach area. Amazing windows to just sit and enjoy the water views. We loved it and have it saved as one of our Whidbey Island favorites. ##### Flavio M.

The beachfront house was immaculate and beautifully equipped. The outside spaces were beautiful and well maintained. Our hosts thought of everything, and communicating with them was easy. The only thing we’d change is the twin beds in the second bedroom. While the queen bed in the other bedroom was fabulous, the twin mattresses were uncomfortable. One of us slept like a princess, the other had a rough night. All in all, we’d still go again because everything else was exceptional! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon V.

Clean, comfy, everything you need, clear and friendly communication and an absolute stunning view from all the windows of the home overlooking the water. The pictures do not do this house justice. Beautiful place and wonderful hosts! ##### Pam B. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane L.

We searched for shells, watched the geese, walked out on the pier, enjoyed a fire in the fire pit but really just enjoyed sitting on the deck looking out at the water! So peaceful! Also enjoyed excursions to Coupeville (really great Halloween decorations all over downtown), Ft Casey & Oak Harbor! The house itself includes everything you need for a very comfortable stay - all very clean & tidy. We hope to be able to come back! ##### Jane L.

The house is cozy but comfortable with an amazing water view. A small jewel with access to a walkable shoreline. About 10 minutes from Oak Harbor, yet tranquil. You can see otters and an assortment of birds from the property Owners were great at following up and communicating with us. ##### Ivy H. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen T.

We had an absolutely fabulous stay in Sandpiper Haven located on Penn Cove. The location is perfect for your stay on Whidbey Island. The charming town of Coupeville is right across the cove, and a thirty minute drive south brings you to the lovely town of Langley. The house itself is ideal. All comforts are considered, and waking up each morning to the splendors of Penn Cove is enchanting. We saw otters, diving ducks, and bald eagles right outside the door. This is THE PLACE to stay!!!!!! ##### Christina P. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kira S. Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The Sandpiper Haven is truly amazing! 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.

Aug 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sandpiper Haven holiday We greatly enjoyed our stay again as we have in previous years. 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.
