South facing, beach house 20 feet from the water! Kayaks and a brand new hot tub

Our 2 story, no bank beachfront home sits on the north end of Maxwelton Beach. You won't find a nicer view of the water, sunsets or mountains on Whidbey Island.

This is a perfect getaway for 2 couples or a small family. We have 2 bedrooms that each have a queen bed and also 2 twin mattresses that you are welcome to use for children. The master suite on the top floor has a private bath with a shower/tub combo and a balcony that overlooks the water, mountains and incredible sunsets. On the main floor the 2nd bedroom, also with a queen bed, has sliding doors out to the beach side deck.

We have a hot tub on the deck for you to enjoy. We also have kayaks available for our guest use (must sign waiver prior to arrival in order to use).

We had such a lovely time. Everything was seamless, the property is beautiful and the hosts thought of everything. We stayed with our two kids, 6 and 18 months. They had sand toys, a high chair, life jackets of all sizes. We barely wanted to leave to explore the rest of the island. Highly recommend !

Perfect Location

We spent 4 nights in this great beach house. It's very cozy and well-appointed. The best part is the location - it's on a private drive right on the Maxwelton beach. The views from every room are phenomenal! We had a very relaxing time reading, playing games, watching movies and enjoying the hot tub. And a beautiful sunset!!

Beautiful!

The house was outstanding and so was the hot tub and view! The *only* issue was that the older kayak didn't have a seat installed and was unusable. Either way, we will be back and will book this property again.

Beautiful beach views

Quaint beach cabin and generally a pleasant stay. Enjoyed the new hot tub. Well stocked (need a juice pitcher, though) and very good high-quality beds. However, upstairs jetted bathtub had dirty jets, dirty tile, and shower head needs replacing. Kitchen faucet leaks when turned on and there were tiny ants on the counters. The low tides were fun to explore but the ladder to the beach did not allow 2 senior citizens to access it. Listing should probably address this issue.

Cute place, could use a modest refresh

A cute place. Could use a bit of a refresh. Needs some upgrades on cooking tools and furniture. A little less clutter. Better organization of notes. More comfortable furniture. (House instructions consisted of sun-bleached sticky notes in several places around house, plus guest book with a smattering of pages shoved in it, with handwritten addenda.) Privacy screen between hot tub and neighbors would be great. Communication with host was perfect and we had a fun time.

Unbelievable views and a fantastic time!

We had a wonderful long weekend with our son and his girlfriend, and Shimmering Waters was a home run. The views from the deck and interior spaces are exceptional, we watched bald eagles, herons, and osprey hunting daily, and the sunsets over the Olympics were spectacular. House is incredibly well stocked (perhaps so well that finding room for kitchen items brought from home was challenging but that's a good problem!). The dishwasher needs some repair, and the kitchen and bath fixtures are well-worn and could use some updating. The long kyack is ready to be replaced (slow leak) but kyaks were fun to use. Beach glass, shells, and incredibly abundant sealife on the tide flats made for hours of leisurely beachcombing. We'll be back!

Whidbey getaway

We stayed at this great home on Whidbey Island for two weeks with my family, and it was an incredible experience! The breathtaking views from the back were nothing short of spectacular, providing a perfect backdrop for our stay. Puget Sound and views of Olympic mountains with constantly changing scenes as the tide went in and out. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, making meal prep a breeze. What truly set this place apart, though, were the amazing neighbors. They were friendly, welcoming, and added a special touch to our visit. If you're looking for a getaway with stunning scenery and a homey feel, this rental is a must-visit!
