Madrona Bluff House by Stay Madrona, a private waterfront retreat with amazing sun rises. Unfussy, restful, PNW vibes - a spacious rustic single story home on a 55' bluff with sunrise views over Holmes Harbor & private beach access. From the evergreens to the rocky beach, the property is filled with spots to relax and to be inspired. Wildlife watching, s'mores, forest walks, art opportunities, beach walks or hot tubbing under the stars.

Good to know

Facing the sunrise with five magically wooded acres, The Madrona Bluff House is the best of the northwest where the forest meets the sea. Located in a very quiet neighborhood, you might see eagles or seals more than you see other people. The moment you pull in and come down the long wooded driveway, you will feel inspired. Right in the front yard you will find stairs down to the private beach which is a rocky northwest beach with barnacles, driftwood, and the occasional harbor seal or migrating whale. Enjoy short walking trails through towering evergreens and incredible madrona trees. Inside you are greeted with breath taking views of the harbor from the open concept living room. Enjoy the wood-burning fireplace with complimentary firewood, a pool table, and a library of books beside the dining space for eight. Eclectic mid-century and vintage touches warm up this cozy space for you to relax, connect and enjoy the moments. Restful spaces include four bedrooms and a studio with a pullout sofa. Three bedrooms have desk workspaces and all bedrooms have room darkening shades. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to make and serve meals for your friends and family or for a quiet meal for two. Nearby, the den has a wood stove, cozy couches, a shelf full of games, and an HD tv for movie nights. The spacious deck overlooks a lawn and expansive views of Holmes Harbor with clear day views of Mount Rainier on the south end and Mount Baker towards the mouth of the harbor. On calm days the harbor water can be easily mistaken for a serene lake. Seasonally available dining table and deck furniture. There is an outdoor ping pong table that can be set up on the deck or in the yard in the summer. The lawn is not watered to conserve water and prevent bank slope erosion. Because of this, the lawn does dry up and yellow around mid July depending on rainfall and greens back up late September. The house does not have ac, but temperatures are generally cooler on the island and the house has a fan for each of the rooms. We ask that dogs remain on leash when outside because of the drop-offs on the bluff.

Other Details to Note

The home has a three dog max and a pet fee per pet. Please enter your dogs along with your guest count when booking. The property has a 55 foot bluff down to the beach that is about 200 feet in front of the house. It is buffered by about 10-15' of vegetation that we let grow about knee high to discourage getting too close, but there is no guard rail or fence. The house also has 2 wood fireplaces with no child gates.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

The quiet neighborhood is slow and peaceful. There are walking trails on the property in the woods behind the house and the road is a pleasant stroll without much traffic. Restaurants and stores on the south end of island close earlier than you might expect so plan ahead.

Guest Access

Guests will have the entire house and property to themselves. The stairs to the beach are shared with one neighbor to the north and are located at the property line between both properties.

This home is amazing. From our initial interaction with a few questions, to fast response on local excursions, to check-in and a fully equipped home and especially kitchen. WOW, we loved this home. The pictures reflect reality and the outdoor space is also amazing. The kitchen had everything you could need (speciality cooking tools, spices, multiple coffee options. dinnerware for both indoor and outdoor, and even an air fryer). The home feels remote but everything is 10-20 minutes away (whale watching, sailing, hiking). All the extras that you might forget are available in bathrooms, linens were fresh and clean, extra blankets and pillows, wood for the beautiful fireplace and outdoor fire pit. A beautiful home in a wonderful location. Wilson checked in with us but was not intrusive. I would highly recommend this home and the entire experience.

This place is absolutely perfect! I can't wait to stay here again. My group was completely blown away by the house and its stunning surroundings. Being able to enjoy the water from the house, but also the beach, was such an incredible experience. It was clean, well maintained, and had all the amenities you could ask for.

Our stay at Madrona House on Whidbey Island was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true escape—peaceful, beautifully designed, and effortlessly comfortable. The home itself is incredibly well thought out. Every detail—from the layout to the organization—made settling in feel seamless. You can tell a lot of care went into creating a space that is both stylish and functional. It struck the perfect balance between cozy cabin charm and elevated design. One of the highlights was how relaxing everything felt. I spent my days reading, soaking in the hot tub, and enjoying both the indoor and outdoor fires—each space inviting you to slow down and actually unwind. It’s rare to find a place that so naturally encourages rest, but this one truly does. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat on Whidbey Island with thoughtful design, incredible ambiance, and all the little comforts that make a stay memorable, this is it. I left feeling completely reset!

This is a gem of a home! It’s on a beautiful and peaceful 5-acres. We felt very comfortable in the home, and loved all the special personal touches and amenities. The weather was unusually cold during our visit and there was plenty to do in the house. It was so cozy to have two fires going! Loved every moment and hope go return!

We had an amazing girls weekend here. We loved the hot tub, the walks on the beach, the views from the deck, the large living room for hanging out in. Everything was great. Hosts were great communicators if anything was needed. The location was great for visiting Coupeville and taking the ferry to Port Townsend. The house had everything we needed and we loved the local coffee left for us! We would absolutely stay again!

A wonderful setting to share with our friends and family. Really appreciated the flexibility to accommodate 9 so Nana could join and enjoy the kiddos and beautiful setting. Thank you for being part of memories we will never forget!
