About this house rental

Deer Lake Shores

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Whether you're lounging on the deck and patio, paddling on the lake, or simply rolling out of bed at sunrise, spectacular views of Deer Lake are everywhere at this beautiful, lakefront home in Clinton.

This three-story home enjoys 100 feet of no-bank waterfront and a private dock on the western shores of Deer Lake. It's the perfect place for taking out the provided watercraft (two kayaks, two paddleboards, a canoe, and a paddle boat), swimming, fishing, and glimpsing osprey and bald eagles as they dive for trout. The property is both serene and convenient to the best of Whidbey Island, with the Clinton Ferry Terminal (three miles), downtown Langley (five miles), and Double Bluff Beach (nine miles) all within a short drive.

With east-facing views of the lake and the morning sunrise, the property's outdoor spaces are particularly memorable. Enjoy an elevated deck that's wonderful for morning coffee, a sheltered patio for summer barbecues, and a firepit where you can tell stories and roast marshmallows as the sun goes down.

What makes the interior so special are the stunning views on all levels, at every turn. The entry floor boasts a lakefront living room and an elegant, eat-in kitchen with double ovens, other stainless steel appliances, and an island that looks out over the water. A second complete living space awaits downstairs, including a second kitchen, and a den with a fireplace, a bar, and a TV for movie nights.

Spend your evenings in the garage game room, playing Ping-Pong, pool, shuffleboard, and foosball. When it's time to turn in, the primary suite is upstairs on the top floor, offering incredible views, a walk-in closet, and a spacious en suite bathroom. There's also a lakefront sleeping loft on the same floor, one guest room on the main floor, and two guest rooms downstairs. A private laundry room is on hand as well.

We stayed in this house for our annual family reunion. There were five older adults (55-61) and five young adults (21-24) in our group. The bedroom configuration worked well for our group. The olders had the rooms on the top two floors, and the youngers had the lowest floor. The lowest floor has its own living space and kitchen, which was nice for the young adults to hang out. One thing to mention- the loft on the top floor was fine for sleeping and sort of semi-private. The room with the twin beds on the bottom floor was not pictured in the home description. This room had two beds, huge tv, etc. There was a door to close off from others in that same level, but it was open to anyone on the second floor to look down into the room because of the high ceiling. So sort of a semi-private common space. Kitchen was great! Game room was fun! Could use some fixing up, but we enjoyed all the games. We really loved going out on the lake with the kayaks and paddle boards. Nice deck area to sit and enjoy the lake view. All in all a great time.

Beautiful location on Whidbey Island

Lots of room for large groups to spread out on three levels. Right on the lake. There is a large skylight in the third floor mast, so difficult to sleep in

TLDR: Enjoyed our stay overall, but would not stay ant this property again. The location of this property was fantastic. We enjoyed having space to spread out and being so close to the lake. The home was well stocked with everything we needed. The dock was great for fishing and the views of the lake were beautiful day and night. Unfortunately we had some issues come up during our stay. The first was that the septic system alarm went off (not sure why). We had to move through overgrown blackberry vines to turn it off. The grill was really dirty and we could not use it for the first two days of our stay. Vacasa did send someone out to clean it which we appreciated. There was an impossible to avoid amount of duck and geese poop in yard. While the home appeared clean upon arrival, we noticed a lot of spots in the home that needed better upkeep. Lastly, we found many spiders and even a mouse inside the home and also noticed rodent droppings around the deck. The location was great, but for the price, we definitely expected a better maintained property.
