About this house rental
Welcome to Maxwelton Farm Guest House by AvantStay! Radiant and rejuvenated, this historic 1917 farmhouse is a jewel of the famous Maxwelton Beach. From evening campfires at the private beach just across the road to gorgeous sunset views backed by the Olympic Mountains, this one-of-a-kind retreat is ready to host up to 18 guests, with 6 bedrooms, a kids loft, and a sleeper sofa.
Wholly restored and refreshed, this home is light and bright. Enjoy views of the 65-acre farm, Useless Bay, and Maxwelton Valley from nearly every window. You may even spot sheep and cows grazing on the property and hillside above.
Bring your friends and family to the beauty of a hilltop farmhouse that boasts a large, roomy layout while maintaining a cozy feel. Enjoy the privacy of upper and lower units, each with its own exterior entrance. There is no interior staircase adjoining the separate units, and each has its own kitchen, baths, and bedrooms, making this the perfect choice for multiple families or groups of friends.
The house sleeps up to 12 in beds and offers a few private nooks with twin mattresses off the bedrooms for the kids (or grown-ups) to camp. These nooks are perfect for portable cribs, too!
A private beach sits just across the road, offering solace, sand, and seashells. You’ll also find Dave Mackie Park, boasting beachside ball games in the baseball diamond and a playground for kids. Swimming, kayaking, exploring, and beach volleyball await!
There is no place like this anywhere else on Whidbey Island. Come and enjoy the splendor!

Loved staying here and all the facilities/amenities were just perfect. Thank you!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·May 2025
Our group of 15 ladies agreed this home is special on many levels. What we loved: open space kitchen, dining, and living, kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals, comfortable sleeping and clean linens, plenty of parking, easy access from the Seattle eastside, beautiful views of farmland, beach, and water. We were treated to a beautiful sunset and multiple rainbows on a one of our nights. Great walking beach with sea wildlife and eagles, herons, etc. The deck has a partial cover for hanging out. This is an older farmhouse that is maintained well. We will likely book again.

Worked very well.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2024
We had an overall pleasant stay. We were 12 people, ranging in ages from 26 to 74. The sunsets on the back porch were lovely, and we had plenty of space in the common areas to cook, eat, and relax. Other observations:
The home and furnishings show more wear in person than in the images.
The house is split into two separate living spaces - the main floor and upstairs are separate from the basement unit, which has a separate kitchen, bathroom and two tiny bedrooms with a larger living room. Accessible by walking down a gravel hill.
The upstairs refrigerator, which runs 50 degrees at best, was not suitable for storing meat products. We stored more perishable foods in the basement refrigerator while cooking everything upstairs, so it was not terribly convenient but workable. Kitchen was equipped sufficiently.
Overall, there are 4 toilets and 3 showers for a house that sleeps 12. None of the main-unit bathrooms had functioning fans. Showerheads were low and the bathrooms had lots of wear. Only one toilet on upper floor for 3 bedrooms, with no shower.
House has mold/mildew issues, which we mitigated with limited success by leaving doors and windows open as much as possible.
The images show the double bed rooms as more spacious that they really are.
Overall, we appreciate the responsiveness of the management team and felt they did a great job with what they had. Not sure we would stay here again, but it did have its charms, especially the beach access and bay views.
