EINMAL BEI FLUT AUF WHIDBEY ISLAND
KEINE BANK WATERFRONT Das Rauschen der Wellen, die tiefe sandige Uferpromenade und die Rasenfläche, die geräumige Terrasse und das wunderschöne Haus sind nur einige der Vorteile des Strandhauses ONCE UPON A TIDE. Sobald Sie auf Clinton von der Fähre steigen, werden Sie erleichtert von der Hektik der Stadt aufatmen. In diesem schönen, charmanten Haus möchten Sie das Leben in einem weit entfernten Zuhause genießen. Die wunderschöne Hochzeit unserer Nichte fand am Wasser statt. Wie viele Sandstrände gibt es, an denen Sie eine Strandhochzeit in Washington feiern können? Nicht sehr viele ... Spazieren Sie am Strand, graben Sie Muscheln, Krabben, angeln Sie, bauen Sie Sandburgen, beobachten Sie die vorbeifahrenden Kreuzfahrtschiffe oder genießen Sie einfach das Leben in einer atemberaubenden Oase. Wie Sie es einen Tag nennen, ermöglichen Ihnen die Memory Foam-Matratzen in allen Zimmern dieses Hauses einen sehr erholsamen und komfortablen Schlaf.
Wenn Sie eine Wendeltreppe hinaufsteigen, gelangen Sie zu einem riesigen Hauptschlafzimmer / Loft neben einem riesigen Schlafraum für Kinder. Es gibt ein zusätzliches Schlafzimmer im Erdgeschoss neben der Waschküche und dem Wohnzimmer.
Wenn Sie mit einer anderen Familie in den Urlaub fahren möchten, befindet sich dahinter ein weiteres Haus für ca. 4-5 Personen (VRBO 4629474).

Lovely, relaxing beach stay!
Our family of four was in Whidbey Island for a wedding - and did we get lucky with this property! Spacious, comfortable, super well appointed and well maintained. We slept with the sounds of Puget Sound’s waters outside, enjoyed rambling walks along the beach and in the charming neighborhood. Enjoyed breathtaking sunsets over the Olympics, and more…. The home is well laid out for a family, and the kitchen is so well appointed that we were sorry we didn’t have more meals to prepare! Our hosts were warm, thoughtful, and responsive. highly recommend this home!

Great beach house
My family spent a wonderful 4 days in December. House was beautiful and extremely clean! Hosts were very accommodating and helpful. We throughly enjoyed our time there! My only "ding" would be regarding temp difference upstairs and downstairs- it was very cold (full disclosure it only seemed to bother me and no one else in the family) and we never could figure out how to work the fireplaces. Definitely loved and recommend!

My only hesitation in sharing a second glowing review is that I'll never find an opening in the calendar to return to this wonderful home on beautiful Maxwelton Beach. Chris is a wonderful host, providing detailed information leading up to your stay. The home has everything you could possibly need or want to enjoy the long summer days at the beach.

Amazing location and great house
The house emphasizes the reason to be here. It’s all about the location and the beach. The kitchen and living room are large and modern. The kitchen has everything we needed.
The deck is perfect for dining, grilling, and just relaxing while we watched ospreys, seals, eagles, and even deer wander past.
It has decks on the second story that make excellent viewing areas for the spectacular sunsets.
We will be back.

Beautiful Whidbey
We only stayed for a couple of nights but this was a perfect location to spend time as a family and take in the natural wonder of the island. Other than hanging out on the beach collecting shells, building a fire and playing yard games with sunset, the kids enjoyed their huge bunk bed room and fuseball, and the kitchen was great for throwing together a few meals. (Pickles is a great deli btw!!!!)
I had a few questions about the property, some of which I missed in the opening instructions text, And the property manager was not only helpful and quick to respond, but also exceedingly kind.

Wonderful house in great, quiet location
We had a very nice extended weekend stay at this house on the south end of Whidbey Island. The house was very clean on our arrival. The kitchen is very spacious and well outfitted with many appliances and dishes. It's probably the nicest kitchen in any house rental we've been in. The beds were comfortable. We all enjoyed playing foosball. The spiral staircase was easy to navigate for our family, but it might be challenging for young children or elderly. The neighborhood is quiet and the beach is wonderful for walks, with many beautiful rocks. We had a very peaceful stay appreciated the responsive communications with the owner.

A Magical Spot
We found Once Upon a Tide completely by accident as we live in North Carolina, we’re completely unfamiliar with Whidbey Island, and started looking for a place very late in the season. How we ended up here is just short of miraculous to us. If you like being right on wide expanses of water with a background of majestic mountains, broad tidal flats, whale sightings, parades of curious seals, diving ospreys, stalking herons, living in the ultimate quietude of a dead end gravel road, with the blackest night sky for viewing the boundless heavens, then this is the place for you. A top tier kitchen and expansive indoor and outdoor eating areas make it perfect for family gatherings. The three bathrooms are extra large and pretty exquisite. Of the three bedrooms, the children’s bunk room is the most conventional, adaptable and also offers the most privacy and separation from the noises of the rest of the house. The master bedroom is basically the landing/hallway of the spiral stairway which goes down the very large kitchen/dinning/living room below. There are no walls or doors to separate you from the noise from below or from people using the stairs to access the bunk room. What is listed as the third bedroom is actually the laundry room of the house with a fold out bed in it. Despite the initial surprise of the unconventional bedroom layouts we all got quickly used to it and adapted accordingly. Besides, the attractiveness, ease, comfort, and convenience of the rest of the of house and property completely overshadowed the bedroom idiosyncrasies. The owners are wonderful. Very very responsive, helpful and considerate in all regards And, to the delight of our grandchildren, they have chickens! Who are very grateful for your kitchen scraps. We want to come back every year! Thank you Chris and family.

Stunning!
We highly recommend “Once upon a Tide”. We have come to Whidbey Island for short getaways from the city for years and have stayed in many places. “Once upon a tide” beats them all with a spectacular view of the Olympic Mountains, a long sandy beach for early morning and sunset walks, and a spacious lot with enough lawn area for ball games. We saw and heard many bald eagles with their young ones; there were deer, herons, and even a shy coyote.
The house itself is cozy and inviting. Rentals are often impersonal, minimized for potential damage and maximized for the number of beds. This house is a clearly a family home and their happy spirit lingers everywhere. The kitchen is better equipped than my own with a large cooking range and oven, an extra griddle for pancakes, all possible coffee equipment, and lots of utensils, silverware, plates, cookie sheets, a kitchen aid, cutting boards…if you look carefully enough you will find everything you will ever need. We loved the big dining table that had room for all of us to enjoy meals together.
As promised the beds/mattresses were fabulous; there were big comfy hammocks and beach chairs available on the large deck, in addition to a beach fire pit. Our kids fell in love with the large grey beanbag-like couch in the living area (Not squishy! Truly comfortable even for adults!) Perfect!
The house works best for one large family (like ours) or 2-3 families knowing each other well because the bedrooms offer limited privacy. The master bedroom is located on the spiral staircase landing – although the space is generous and has fabulous views, a fire place, a truly impressive master bathroom and closet, it has no doors and everyone accessing the bunk bed room has to walk through there (unless they use the outside deck stair case). We loved the large sunny room with the three bunk beds, foosball table and dart board – it is really pretty and offers amazing ocean views. The “third” bedroom offers privacy but also houses the washer and dryer. We wish the bedroom layout was explained more clearly to set the right expectations. It worked well for us after the initial surprise.
In any other way, communication with the hosts was seamless; the neighbors were super friendly. We made great memories.
Overall, a really great, indeed stunningly beautiful place! We hope to come back with some more time to spend and our crab cages and kayaks.

Inexcusable owner behavior
Upon arrival at this property in June we discovered the owner had not sent us a code or keys to access the property. We tried to contact the owner, Chris, by phone and through VRBO with no success. We were very disappointed especially because my son was visiting from Ireland and our family was excited to relax together. The following day the owner called and apologized profusely—she had simply forgotten to send us the key code and she had been unavailable because she was at an event with her phone off. She refunded our money and offered to give us a free stay in the future. Mistakes happen and I was happy to accept her apology and offer for a future stay. I made a reservation in September for my birthday and invited girlfriends. We were excited for the upcoming trip but shortly before the trip was to occur I received a text in the middle of the night from Chris, the owner. She was very sorry but informed me that she wanted to cancel my September reservation because she had family that decided to visit and she wanted to let them stay at the Whidbey house. I have never complained about a property but the behavior of this property owner was more than just an understandable one-time mistake.

Like we expressed to you so many times, we were sincerely sorry for what happened. This is the first and the only time that there is was an instance that the welcome message with the code didn’t come through via VRBO. I personally contacted you on that same day that you were checking in but you decided not to accept to stay and left. All our past guests can attest to you how good we are with communications, warmth and hospitality.
When we were on the phone , you were appreciative that we offered to refund your money in full on top of the offer of the same number of nights for a future stay, three complimentary nights. We refunded the full amount that you paid. We lost money, $510.69 because those were the fees that VEBO won’t refund since it was the same day cancellation. We were fine with it because we wanted to make it right for you.
We offered you a complimentary stay for three nights. Unfortunately, the dates that you wanted didn’t work out. I offered you major holidays and any other days. You then texted me that you will just write a negative review. At this point, no amount of apologies will satisfy your disappointment. We are wishing you all the best. Thank you so much. Again, we are sincerely sorry.

Teen dream
We stayed with our kids (20 & 16) and their friends. This place was perfect! The kids had their own giant room with a deck, foosball and darts with access to the beach. After a tough year with Covid it was so wonderful to spend time with everyone and see them laughing and playing. The kitchen was awesome. Loved the big tables for gathering.

Perfect getaway
What a lovely break!!
This beach home was perfect for us. The back yard was an indescribable playground. Our sons built mini forts with driftwood, dug holes and buried each other in the sand. We had wine on the balcony and cooked for our friends. It was definitely a blessing!!!
My husband cooked meat and potato pies in the well supplied kitchen.
The coffee was terrific!!!
Thank you for opening your home for others to enjoy!!
