About this listing
Summary
Welcome to Rhododendron Loft–a slice of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve and local history! Unwind in this secluded, peaceful 2 bed/2 bath loft, nestled in ~5 acres of forest. Freshly decorated, tons of natural light, high ceilings, and surrounded by trees–you will love this bright and cozy loft.
Perfect, central location from which to explore the island–just 5 minutes drive to the historic waterfront shops and restaurants and 15 minutes to city conveniences.
Space
Fun fact–this property was part of the original holding of one of the first settlers of Coupeville and had been in the previous owner’s family for 5 generations. We hope to honor that history by sharing the acres of protected Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve along with our local finds and touches with our guests. We are constantly researching, curating and updating the home as we adventure and explore more ourselves.

Notes
**Additional Info About the Home**
– We believe our home to be child and family-friendly but the home is not child-proofed. Please do not leave children unattended.
– NAS is stationed on Whidbey Island, and this home is close to the OLF (Outlying Landing Field). You will hear jets flying by so please be aware there will be noise. The jets are F-18s, as featured in Top Gun: Maverick! NAS Whidbey was one of the locations for the flight scenes, look for the Cascade Mountains in the movie!
– Cell service is spotty in the area but enabling Wifi calling & texting will help! Wifi is the fastest available on the island. Great for most entertainment and light working needs but if you have specific high speed requirements for work, please consider a hotspot or similar alternatives
– This is a 5-acre property nestled in the middle of a nature reserve. While you have access to the modern conveniences of appliances and wifi, and we uphold rigorous cleanliness standards, this is still a house in the middle of the woods and nature will sometimes find its way in. Please consider your party’s comfort level with nature when you book!
– During Fall & Winter months, please note that there might be snow. During these times, we recommend having an AWD SUV with snow chains on hand.
– This property has two separate houses (Rhododendron Loft and Island Hideaway) on the property and this listing is for Rhododendron Loft. Two rentals each has its own private entrance, are far enough to ensure privacy & don’t share amenities in any way. You can either rent each house separately or rent them together to sleep a total of 12. If you would like to view the listing to Island Hideaway or to rent both homes together, please feel free to send me an inquiry.
– Maintenance: Vendors (e.g. landscaper) may stop by to conduct work on exterior spaces. They will not be allowed in the home without guests’ prior permission. Also, there may be an active pest control plan which may include baits (e.g. ant bait) inside the home. They are usually placed where children and pets can’t reach them, but please do not leave pets and children unattended.
