Look for whales from the beach and have morning coffee overlooking the ocean, it’s an ideal home base for your vacation. Langley House is designed to take advantage of the spectacular views of Puget Sound and the Cascades. The upper level features an open floor plan where you’ll find the living room, kitchen, dining space with seating for 8, and an adjacent upper deck. There are two bedrooms – one with a queen bed and the other with two twins and a queen sleeper sofa. There is also a full bath and walk-in pantry with a second stove. Classic furnishings make the home warm and cozy any time of year. On the main level enjoy the spacious family room with TV, wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, and French doors leading to the backyard for easy indoor/outdoor living. There is also a guest bathroom and laundry room. At the end of the hall, the private and quiet primary bedroom with adjacent bathroom has a California king bed that’s perfect for sleeping late. It also opens onto its own deck with access to the hot tub. The backyard sanctuary has multiple seating areas for those who enjoy sun or shade. Make s’mores in the firepit, play corn hole, enjoy the hot tub, or simply listen to the birds that visit the spectacular garden. There’s something for everyone in the historic, seaside town of Langley, which is a 1.5 mile walk or 5-minute drive away. Whether you’re looking for ice cream and saltwater taffy or wine tasing and Penn Cove mussels, you will find it in this charming town. Langley has fabulous restaurants, coffee shops, and a well-stocked grocery store. Like most homes in Langley, we do not have whole house air conditioning. Temperatures are generally cooler on the island and all bedrooms have either ceiling fans and/or floor fans. The east-facing twin bedroom has a window AC unit. There is also a backup generator that automatically turns on in the case of a power outage. Note that the generator can be loud but is usually temporary until power is restored. The beach near our home is a classic Pacific Northwest beach with rocks, driftwood, and beautiful wildlife. Depending on the tide, you may need to walk over driftwood, so it's not great for strollers or wagons, though they can be left at the entry point. It may also be challenging for people who have difficulty walking. Beach/water shoes recommended. Fiber internet access is available and cell phone reception is good. The large family room TV includes a Roku streaming stick for accessing your own streaming services. The home does not include cable or satellite TV.

Other things to note Langley House is not a rental property. It is our second home that we rent occasionally. Because of this, we ask that guests have at least one positive review, a verified ID, and a completed profile. This allows us to host with confidence and create a comfortable experience for both our family and our guests. Our home is in a quiet neighborhood with many neighbors living here full-time and we count on the respect and kindness of our renters. If you desire a place for boisterous late-night gatherings, this is not the place. • Quiet hours from 9pm-8am. • Parking onsite for 3 vehicles. Home is at the end of a long, shared driveway and it can be challenging to back out. Back up cameras are very helpful. • Due to our septic system, children are included in max. occupancy. • This is a no smoking/no vaping property, including both inside and outside the home. • We love animals, but we cannot accommodate pets or emotional support animals in our home.

Please note that while we do not allow pets, our own non-shedding dogs are occasionally at the property, so this is not an allergy-free home. • Our garden is one of the joys of staying here—it’s large, lush, and full of life. Depending on the season, you may encounter bees, insects, or other wildlife enjoying the space. We encourage guests to take care when outdoors, especially near flowering plants.
