Take a cozy Spring getaway to fabulous Whidbey Island! Go on lovely beach walks with great views of the Olympic Mountains and Admiralty Inlet just two blocks from the artist’s quirky studio apartment where you can create your own masterpieces! Curl up in front of a (faux) fireplace with a good book, and cook your own dinners in a fully stocked and colorful kitchen! Hop into the hammock for a great nap with the deer and bunnies! Completely furnished and very private studio apartment with its own kitchen and full bath. It’s approximately 400 ft.² with a queen bed, desk, comfy chairs, lots of good books, art supplies, and art. If you’re lucky, some of the many Whidbey deer and bunnies will come right up to your window and say hello! Two blocks from the beach for strolling at low tide. Just a few miles to the darling shops and restaurants of Langley – our little village by the sea. Sorry, no pets or children under the age of 12. I am an artist, writer and editor and work from home upstairs. I'd love to meet you, but your privacy and rest and solitude are paramount to me, so any interaction is completely up to you. If you'd like to chat, or need anything at all, just send me a text (since I work with earbuds in and won't hear a knock or shout out). Enjoy the quiet, the incredible birds, deer, bunnies, and the beautiful view of Admiralty Inlet and the snow-capped Olympic Mountains from just two blocks away in this adorable beach community! One half-mile walk to catch the Island Transit at the little Bailey store. Whidbey also has a taxi service. It's a big island, so having your own car is necessary. - No children or pets. My cat has never been allowed in your space. You will hear the pitter patter of his thunder paws occasionally as he plays. If you're terribly allergic to cats, please book elsewhere; however, one guest was very allergic and had no problems. THINGS TO DO: Welcome! I hope you love staying here as much as I love living here! - Visit Langley, our little village by the sea, just ten miles away.
