About this house rental
Nestled on a private lane, on Whidbey Island (near Seattle, WA), this water view home has a private beach on beautiful Holmes Harbor. Experience the best of the Pacific Northwest as you launch your kayak or build a sandcastle right on the tidal beach. This is a fantastic beach house for families, sabbaticals, or couples. All are welcome at A Home On The Harbor.
A Home On The Harbor is thoughtfully designed with comfort and simplicity in mind. Featuring all new beds, soft luxury linens, black out blinds in the bedrooms, and a complete cook's kitchen for your holiday use. The kitchen is well-stocked with quality stainless cookware, griddle, coffee maker and grinder, electric tea kettle, toaster oven, blender, crockpot, and sharp knives. The pantry is stocked with dried herbs, salt and pepper. Grill out on the deck with the Weber gas grill as you watch for seals, enjoy s'mores around the campfire outside, or snuggle up with a good book around the wood-burning stove inside.
Our bathrooms have just been beautifully refreshed. The upstairs bath now features new double sinks and quartz countertops with beautiful new flooring for both baths.
In keeping with the intentional simplicity of the home we do not have any televisions, but we do have WiFi and cell phone reception. We have many games, books and puzzles for your enjoyment.
Enjoy Holmes Harbor with easy steps to the pebble strewn tidal beach. Follow a short garden path, nine steps down, and there you are! Our privately-owned beach is easy enough for our great-grandma to access. Carrying chairs, paddle boards or sand toys down is a breeze. Our beach is an excellent place to launch your kayak or paddle board; bring your own, or to rent from the local rental company.
Come and unwind with an easy island getaway in the perfect location. Enjoy strolls on the beach, birdwatching and campfires in our quiet and peaceful neighborhood, all within a 3 minute drive or even a walk to dining, antique shops, coffee, ice cream and the grocery store. We are centrally located in South Whidbey within a short drive to Langley, Greenbank Farm and Coupeville.
If the season is right you are welcome to pick apples, blackberries, rhubarb or herbs from the herb bed for your own savory delights. As stewards of our beautiful beach, we don't use any pesticides.
Our Family Property and Guest Interaction: A Home On The Harbor is a private vacation home that is rented out by owners (not a management company or an agent). Most of the time we will not be available to assist you in person, but there are times when we stay at our family home that shares the driveway and path to the beach. We will not disturb you, but we are always happy to meet new friends should you wish to say hello. You will be asked to let yourself in, to follow the house guidelines, and to follow some simple house closing steps. The home has a guestbook available with all the home details. We are also available via text, email and phone for all your questions and are happy to help you with any questions you have about the area or the home.
A Home On The Harbor is our family property. Tell us a bit about your group and your stay in your booking request.

Communication for check-in was excellent! We were informed the house was ready early without needing to ask. The kitchen was clean and tidy with all of the basic essentials we would need.

We recently spent time at A Home On The Harbor. What a Lovely Place!
The Home is very bright and beautiful with lots of windows and natural light. Views of the Harbor are gorgeous! We enjoyed a spectacular fireworks display from the comfort of the front deck. The layout of the home is big enough that your family can spread out. There are several doors for access from the top or bottom level, and the beach is only steps away. The Home on A Harbor is decorated with a breezy beach vibe and has plenty of board games available for family time. The beds are extremely comfortable with soft sheets and lots of blankets, and the bathrooms are spacious with luxurious towels. My favorite part of the Home is the Kitchen….it is equipped with everything you could ever need to make your family anything from snacks to a full Thanksgiving dinner. The views from the kitchen are just as beautiful as they are from the living room.
Mishele is very accommodating and easy to reach if you have any questions. She has provided a binder filled with information about the island, along with recommendations of sites to visit and places to eat.
I would highly recommend A Home on The Harbor…..one of the nicest places I’ve ever visited.

Our grandchildren and daughters were scheming to plan a return visit to Whidbey by day 3. The clam digging, hiking, shopping, seal-spotting, campfires, sunsets and fresh air were a welcome respite from our Florida home. And the whale-watching trip was spectacular! This home had everything one could possibly need in terms of linens, beds, supplies, and most of all COMFORT. Thanks to Mishele who watched over us from afar by email and who has created a true cozy and classy home for guests!😍🐾
