Take a break (you deserve it!), and let us show you where to find the best of the best that Whidbey Island has to offer. Situated in Puget Sound, and accessible from the north by the stunning Deception Pass Bridge, and from the south by ferry service only, Whidbey Island boasts more coastline than most other US islands. More than enough bays, coves, parks and forest to give you something new to explore every time you visit, and it's one of the few islands in the world to have its own fresh water lakes! A throw-back to another time, before urban sprawl and traffic congestion, but with all the modern conveniences you might need. A unique place, where nature still reigns supreme and doesn't take a back seat to "progress". Explore Whidbey Island with its stunning panoramas and vistas which attracted its first visitors more than a century ago...
The forests and tree lines that soar up to meet the clear blue skies and in places come right down to the water.Stands of pine, birch and oak trees. Many are well over 100 years old. This natural "skyline" also provides a home to a variety of eagles, hawks and owls. Not to mention a spectacular backdrop for the rest of the natural scenery. Even in our neighborhood we're lucky enough to see bald eagles and hawks soaring above and "wild" bunnies and raccoons playing in front yards! But stay away from those raccoons, they can be pretty mean... 
Rolling meadows that whisper your name and urge you to take an afternoon stroll amongst the wildflowers.Mother Nature is the only architect capable of creating such an inviting, luscious vista. Add the rustic, century old farmhouses and barns that dot the landscape, and your compass now points the way to a bygone era. Explore Whidbey Island ... the place that many have longed to journey to, but few have had the chance to experience...
Pristine beaches dotted with colonies of driftwood, that beckon you to take off your shoes, and walk along the waters' edge.Mother Nature is constantly creating on her canvas here, changing the color of the water as the clouds roll in, then again as they roll out, again as the sun rises and again as it sets. An endless inspiration... With the total island population at around 74,000 people, there are still plenty of wide open spaces, an abundance of wildlife, breathtaking scenery, and jaw-dropping surprises around every corner. If you are looking for the best place on this planet to rest, recharge, recoup, or relocate to, your search is over... Explore Whidbey Island and your life will never be the same... We hope to see you soon! Curtis, Diane, Shelby and Cameron Dennis PS: Here's a very special treat, Orca whales swimming near Whidbey Island on May 13 2010...
