Mutiny Bay Waterfront Cabin by AvantStay | Views

Welcome to Mutiny Bay Waterfront Cabin, your seaside haven on Whidbey Island. Nestled on the serene west side of Mutiny Bay, this medium-bank, two-bedroom retreat promises relaxation and adventure in equal measure.

This west-side home boasts spectacular views of the snowcapped Olympic Mountains, gorgeous sunsets, and ships rounding the point buoy at Double Bluff. A west-facing deck has a BBQ for grilling and a lawn perfect for afternoon picnics or yard games. Take the nearby path to access the sandy beach below, where you can walk for miles along Mutiny Bay.

Inside, discover a cozy haven with a full kitchen (microwave included), Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a DVD player. While there's no dishwasher, you'll find all you need to whip up delicious meals. A freestanding fireplace in the living room makes for vibey evenings, while two bedrooms (each with a queen bed) and one bathroom give your group plenty of space to spread out. There's even a detached building with a washer, dryer, and additional half bathroom.

When you're ready to explore, a 10-minute drive takes you to downtown Freeland, where you can find grocery shopping, restaurants, parks, a boat launch, and more. The waterfront towns of Langley and Coupeville are "must-visit" places nearby, with shopping, lots of dining options, historical sites, galleries, wineries, and even the cutest movie theater (The Clyde) with decades-old pricing.

Perfect Coastal Retreat!

My husband and I enjoyed our weekend at Mutiny Bay. The cabin is small but perfectly appointed. Our favorite part was the location! The easy walk down to the beach was great, and we were lucky enough to find dozens of sand dollars while we strolled along the windswept coastline. Thank you for sharing your getaway spot with us!

Weekend on Whidby Island

My brother and I shared this lovely cabin while we were on the Island for a wedding. It was amazing sitting out on the cabin porch drinking coffee in the mornings looking out at the water, watching the clouds dissipate and the view of the mountains reveal themselves. The cabin was simple with two bedrooms and a perfect place to land when we weren't exploring other parts of the Island. The communication with the rental property was excellent and they let us know that the cabin was ready before the official move in time. A great spot.

Beautifull view!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This quaint little cabin has an amazing view and we loved the trail to the beach. Not a lot of amenities, which is fine for us. The DVD player wasn’t working and the sheets / blankets could use an upgrade along with the coffee maker, but otherwise this is a great place to stay.

Cozy Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a cozy small cabin that looks like it was built in the 50s. The windows were single pane and let in a lot of cold, but the fireplace warmed things up, so that was not such a big deal. The fireplace was especially appealing since we stayed here in December and the weather was very cold and snowy. We loved that the beach was accessible by means of a trail directly in front of the cabin. That being said, this would be more of a summertime cabin, since you could spend more time outside on the nice porch and not in the tiny living room. There was a definite smell of mildew in the house, which made it a little less appealing to spend a lot of time inside. The kitchen could have been better equipped...there was minimal cooking utensils and pans and no matches or lighter to light a fire in the woodstove.

Lovely outlook and secluded shoreline

Beautifully situated but kitchen outfit and entrance lock need attention. It would be a good idea for the owners to stay for a week, which would probably sort things out.

Beautiful Escape with Amazing Sunsets

This is a wonderful and fun place to get away, watch beautiful sunsets, and escape the regular world. There was excellent internet service, a small fireplace/wood stove, hot running water, a kitchen, and large washer and dryer. While we were there we saw a doe with her young. They were very used to people. We bought a deer whistle at the ACE hardware store in town to ensure we didn't accidentally hurt one of these majestic creatures.

Cute Cabin

Older cabin with some charm. Sleeps 2 couples privately. Mattresses could use a topper for comfort. We rented with the big house next door for more room so we didn’t use the kitchen in the little house. View would be even more spectacular with a little tree trimming. The path to the water was not exactly easy, but once on the beach, the view was even better. Bring binoculars for more viewing fun. P.S. both the big cabin and the little one would be fabulous with a little updating and decorating.

I rent this house because the description said "maximum 6 people", but it is a small house with 2 bedroom, a small living room, a bathroom and a small kitchen, it's really crowded for six people. Some of the facilities are old. After all, it is a great place for no more than four people to enjoy the peace on the island.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice high bank location with views of the shipping lanes and a resident blue heron in the tree tops. The cabin had everything we needed, except maybe some additional charcoal for the grill. The deck was nice but "slightly tired" and in need of some repair. The deck chairs could have been more comfortable as well since we spent most of our time enjoying the views of cruise ships, tug and barges and sailboats. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much, the management company was very good, and would do it again based on the value for what we got.

Good Location, Clean but Needs Attention

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this cabin for two couples as overflow space for a nearby family gathering. There were no window screens and we had hot weather, so bugs and moths getting in the house at night was a problem. It was way too hot to sleep with all the windows closed. The shower valve is installed in reverse, so turning on hot water resulted in cold water, and cold water resulted in hot water. This is a liability for the owners, as someone could be scalded. Also, the valve in the shower did not work until we used a butter knife to pop the cap off and tighten it ourselves - otherwise we would not have been able to use it at all. It would be nice if the cabin had a few basic tools available to fix such things if the cabin isn't going to be well maintained by the owners or the property manager (like a screwdriver, hammer and wrench). The pillows on the beds were awful - bring your own. And only one of the two beds was even close to comfortable. This is a cute cabin in a good location that could be much more desirable if it was better maintained. It was clean and cozy.
