Sunny Side Island Retreat by AvantStay | Backyard

Embrace a Whidbey-style paradise at this family and pet-friendly gem on the island's sunny side. Whether it's tranquility, teleworking, or hosting a close-knit group, Sunny Side Island Retreat has you covered.

Relish the spectacular mountain and sea vistas from two decks while you fire up the gas grill. Gather around the fire pit under starlit skies or cozy by the wood-burning fireplace indoors. A fenced backyard invites pups and little adventurers to play freely.

You'll be a mere five minutes from Frank Robinson Beach and Double Bluff Beach and near Downtown Freeland, where you'll find plenty of amenities. Venture a tad further to reach Langley's seaside allure or hop over to the Clinton ferry.

With two distinct floors, your whole group can enjoy plenty of privacy. Ascend to the top floor to find a full kitchen, a living room, and two bedrooms—each with a comfortable king bed, and two bathrooms. Descend to the lower level with its own entrance, a kitchenette, a fold-out queen, and a workspace. You'll also find a bedroom with a queen bed and a bathroom. Each living space has its own Smart TV.

Seamless connectivity is woven into your stay with Comcast Internet and a Wi-Fi mesh network. Kid-friendly essentials like high chairs and toddler toys are at the ready. Croquet and board games await spirited matches.
