The spaceWhat is the view really like? You will look due west down the Strait of Juan de Fuca as the sun sets while looking south to the Olympic Peninsula, northwest to the San Juan Islands and north to Anacortes. You can even see the lights of Victoria, BC at night!
All four bedrooms are upstairs. The primary bedroom has a king-sized bed and it's own separate bathroom. The bunk room has two queen beds on the ground and two twin XL beds above. The third bedroom has a king-sized bed. The fourth bedroom has a queen-sized bed and it's own separate bathroom. An additional full bath is in the hallway directly across from bedrooms #2 & #3.

Our home away from home is located just minutes from Oak Harbor, but secluded from the noise of the city. Close by are the world famous Gallery Golf Course, Fort Ebey State Park, Deception Pass State Park, and the ferry from Coupeville to Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula.
And if you're looking for something to eat, you can cook for yourself in the fully appointed kitchen while watching the waves crash on the beach, or you can enjoy one of our favorite local restaurants.
The best part about Anchor Shores is that Whidbey Island has some of the lowest rainfall in Washington State, making any time of the year right for a Pacific Northwest vacation. While many parts of Washington experience annual rainfall of 30” or more (220” in the Olympic Rain Forest), Whidbey Island will enjoy less than 20” of rain each year since it is located in the Olympic Mountain Rain Shadow.
We do have a no pet policy, including hypoallergenic animals, and this is especially important due to severe allergies in our family.
Why not take in the ocean and the views for a most relaxing and memorable vacation?
Come and enjoy the spellbinding effects of sun, surf and sea breezes that are never further than your front doors. Anchor Shores on the way to experience the best of the ocean.
Guest accessGuests to Anchor Shores have the entire home to themselves. This includes the private hot tub on the deck facing the oean.
Additional notesPlease note there are two staircases leading upstairs to the bedrooms. One is plenty wide with a landing on the way up. The other is a unique spiral staircase which is fun, but could be dangerous for toddlers for potential falls or bumping heads.
Additionally, while we are right on top of the ocean and the bulkhead, scaling the bulkhead for direct access to the beach should be done with caution and is reserved for those who are very nimble. There is a public beach access about 1/2 mile to the south which has very easy access to the beach.
