So Close to the Water, You Feel Part of It
As summer’s last golden days ease into fall, Water’s Edge invites you to slow down and savor life beside Holmes Harbor. Lingering afternoons, cooler evenings, and the changing light bring a different kind of beauty to the waterfront—and you have a front-row seat to it all.
The sunrises can be glorious, filling the sky and harbor with color. But sunrise is only the beginning. Its brightest colors may last just twenty minutes; the pleasure of being this close to the water stays with you all day. You hear it, smell the salt air, and watch the light move across its surface. It becomes part of your day, from your first cup of coffee to the quiet moments before bed.
Set directly on nearly 101 feet of low-bank waterfront, Water’s Edge brings the harbor right into your everyday experience. Eagles soar overhead, herons keep watch along the water’s edge, and seals often rest on the neighboring floating dock. The tides shift, boats pass, and the scene outside is always changing. Even an afternoon spent doing very little can feel wonderfully full.
This is a lovely time of year to settle into the slower rhythm of island life. Enjoy breakfast overlooking the water, linger on the deck when the sun is warm, or curl up indoors and watch the harbor as the evening cools. Venture out to explore Whidbey Island, then come home to share a meal while the last light softens across the bay.
Water’s Edge is equally suited to a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a relaxing retreat with close friends. There is room for shared meals and conversation, and time for the simple pleasures that busy lives so often crowd out. Children can watch for seals and passing boats, while adults enjoy a leisurely morning without anywhere they need to be.
Often, the moments that stay with us are the simplest: a family gathered around breakfast with the harbor just outside, the excitement of spotting an eagle, or a conversation that carries on long after the sun has gone down. Water’s Edge offers a setting where those moments happen naturally.
Despite its peaceful waterfront location, the home is conveniently close to Freeland’s restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and parks. Spend your days discovering island favorites or simply enjoying the water from the comfort of your retreat.
Whether you’re holding onto a little more summer or welcoming the quieter pleasures of fall, Water’s Edge offers space to breathe, time to reconnect, and the rare pleasure of living right beside the water.
Reduced weekday rates and savings on week-long stays make it easier to linger a little longer.
Waterfront & Beach Access: Water’s Edge sits directly on the waterfront, with close-up harbor views from the home and deck. There are no stairs or direct beach access from the property; public beach access is available nearby.
Please Note: Water’s Edge is currently on the market. While showings are infrequent, there may occasionally be a request to view the home during your stay. Any showing would be arranged well in advance, coordinated directly with you, and only with your approval. Your comfort, privacy, and enjoyment of the property remain our priority.

Our host went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was exceptional. Our flights were delayed, and she met us there late in the evening to make sure we were able to get in without issue. We missed the last restaurant, so she even gave us some of her groceries to tide us over, since we had missed dinner.The house itself has a gorgeous view of the bay, eagles, herons, osprey, seals. Beautiful sunrises, and while right in Freeland just a few blocks from restuarants and the grocery, the setting feels private. The outdoor covered garden was in full bloom, and there was plenty of driveway space for easy turn around.The house was clean, and there were quality linens. The kitchen was fully stocked, and we prepared several meals, nothing was missing. Would definitely stay here again and a return trip. And yes, we did see a humpback whale in Langley, lovely visit, supported by a most gracious host.

Exceptional location. I have stayed on many parts of Whidbey but never Freeland. And I have to say that next time I come back to the island I will make sure to see if this house is available. Came to house to relax for a long weekend, and I did just that by watching seals, porpoises, eagles, and herons all day. The house was very comfortable and fit our needs perfectly. The owner was great to work with and went out of her way to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. Highly recommend the house! 10/10

The host, Lori, was very thorough and kind. The house was clean and had a beach theme which was apropos for the area. The kitchen was large and easy to prepare meals. We only accessed the 1st level during our stay as we were only two people staying though if you had more friends and family traveling with you, this house could easily accommodate 6 people comfortably…as there are two bedrooms upstairs, 1.5 baths, and the upstairs has an additional living area for those guests. Overall it is a 3/2.5 with two living spaces and 2 eating areas. We enjoyed the ample windows with peaceful views of the bay. The wildlife gave us quite the show which included bald eagles, ospreys, blue herons, seals, dolphins and a plethora of other birds enjoying their habitat. The house was located directly on the bay. It was also close to the main town area and minutes away from the local supermarket and restaurants.For those interested in visiting the Whidbey Island area, this is a peaceful place to be, small town feel, and this house provided a quiet and peaceful/restful time away from our typical hustle and bustle lives. Thanks again, Lori! We enjoyed our time on the Island.

Quiet, spacious house right on the waters edge. Ample room to move around. Our host was great to deal with, easy to reach out to. Close to amenities if you need anything. We enjoyed our girls weekend at the house!
