There are many beautiful vacation homes on Whidbey Island; we can uniquely offer a walk-out sandy beach with sunsets, views of the complete Olympic mountain range, spacious grounds with large lawn and gardens, a stunning and private wooded setting.

A brand new kitchen caps a two year major remodel, bringing interiors to world class luxury standards. The interiors complement the gorgeous views from every window. Each of the 6 bedrooms have astounding water views.

Offers world class luxury and architecture: The Beachfront House and its two adjacent cabins provide over 4200 square feet of luxury space, with over 1200 more in exterior living space.

Amazing beach, water, and mountain views are framed from every room. A huge open plan kitchen offers granite countertops, teak trestle dining set seating 10-12, and every appliance and utensil we could think of. Our two largest bedrooms each include a king bed.

Nancy purchased this estate in 1998
Why Nancy chose Greenbank

My husband and I looked for Whidbey Island real estate for 2 years before purchasing this property on Whidbey's westside. It is truly the best beach location on Whidbey, and we bought it for the incredible views, sandy beach and SW facing aspect. Over the past 10 years, we have done extensive remodeling to bring the structures to luxury standards and enjoy sharing our 'Kennedy compound' (as friends have termed it!) with newer guests as well as families who return year after year. We donated most of our profits to environmental and women's health charities, with well over $60,000 donated over the past 5 years. We have used VRBO to introduce the property to new guests for over 8 years now.

Paradise Found

5 of 5
Submitted: May 4, 2009 Stayed: April 2009
Five women looked for a place to celebrate the 70th milestone for one of their group. They rented the beachfront cabin at Whidbey Island and found a place remarkably suited to their needs. Spacious, open common rooms meant the group could sit, eat, talk in various locales comfortably. Private bedrooms and the beach cabin gave each the solitude and private moments they desired. The beach welcomed us to stride energetically or dawdle mindlessly, and provided surprising treasures - the wooden teepee on the beach, and stones shaped like Mickey's head. The kitchen, well equipped and laid out, became a creative space and served us well. We left with regret, but carried away with us memories of bocce on the lawn; rabbits munching steadily while dogs careened around the beach; deer welcoming us as we drove down the trail to the house and again on our way out; and a truly wonderful venue in which to celebrate one of life's important moments.

Team Retreat - StrataCore

Submitted: October 16, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
We have stayed at the Whidbey Beachfront property 2 years in a row for our annual team retreat. We love the location and the house is very comfortable with everything you could need. There are plenty of beds for everyone and the kitchen is great for large groups. The WIFI is useful for the working portion of our retreat. The hot tub, pool, beachfront and fire pit are nice for the non-working portion of our stay. Nancy is very helpful in making arrangements and giving all the information you need for your stay on the island. We will definitely be back next year.

Great place for special gathering

We came here with a ten friends and family for a special gathering and we all just loved the place! It's so accommodating--and spectacular! Everyone could be together or easily find a quiet corner or beach for solitude. Steam shower was a particularly nice and unusual amenity. We love Whidbey Island and this place!

Perfect for multi-generation reunion

5 of 5
Submitted: August 28, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
Our three generation family gathering was held at Whidbey Beachfront compound this month and everyone had a ball. There was plenty of room in the main house and grandma and grandpa claimed the beach cottage. Having the extra cottage bedroom for overflow was helpful. It was unseasonably warm the first part of the stay and the grandchildren made good use of the pool and everyone enjoyed the hot tub. All twelve of us eat dinner outside every night, enjoying the view. With the pool, beach and the state park a short walk away, we had everything we need to make memories. It was a great week.

An really incredible property

5 of 5
Submitted: February 15, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
We rented this place for a CEO type retreat and it was nothing short of incredible. Working with the property owners before, during and after the stay was a breeze and our questions were always promptly answered.

The accommodations were very modern, extremely well-kept and very clean. In some ways we felt like the pictures of the property displayed didn't do it enough justice -- once you get there you will know what I mean.

After our stay, many of the execs themselves are considering renting the property for their own family get-togethers. I highly recommend this for business retreats, romantic get-aways, R&R trips, adventure seekers and family outings.

Once again, incredible property!

Best of the best!

Following an epic health event in our family several years ago, we started a tradition of ending and beginning the years with a family gathering in celebration of our blessed lives. After choosing different beachfront destinations on many of the islands in Puget Sound, we came upon this piece of paradise. We have been grateful guests of this property 4 times I beleive and it is without a doubt one of the most beautiful retreats you will ever find so close to home. We rented pre-remodel and loved everything about it. Then the remodel occurred and we were smitten!! It was possible for it to be even better! The owners have an amazing attention to detail and have thought of everything. We would love to rent in the summer and take advantage of the pool and swimming!! We also want to come back to see the total finished remodel. Sorry we didn't book early enough this year to be ending 2011 and beginning 2012 in this most luxurious of vacation destinations. You won't be disappointed in the least in any aspect of this home. It's like having your own compound. The wonderful thing about it is that you won't feel as though you are renting...you will feel as though you've come home...( with upgrades! )

My Bunco group absolutely raved about spending two Autumn nights at this exquisite property!

We are an older group and even though we didn't make it down to the sandy beach, the views of the water, mountains, ships, boats and wildlife from the main house and deck, Eagle's Nest and Beach Front Cabin are to die for!

The main floor includes a bathroom, with view windows from every other room consisting of a living room with an HD TV, dining room with a spacious table (sits up to 12) and roomy kitchen (with an island) which all makes for a homey atmosphere! Impressed with the spacious refrigerator, two dishwashers, a separate freezer which kept us current with ice; the pantry and cupboards have every pan and utensil you'll ever need. The linens and mattresses were heavenly. All bedrooms are downstairs in the main house.The owner is a wonderful person to deal with and made it so easy! I stayed in the Eagle's Nest with my sister and we were very happy there. The view was great, it was quiet and the mattress and linens were so comfortable. No trouble falling asleep, at all.

We had a wonderful visit and we all want to return for our annual Bunco weekend next year. Hopefully in the warmer weather! Thank you for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime.

Wonderful vacation spot for multi-family group

5 of 5
Submitted: May 25, 2011 Stayed: February 2011
We had a superb time - wonderful winter or summer vacation spot. Our PEPS group traveled from Seattle and had a great time cooking, laughing, roasting marshmallows, beachcombing -- and in February! Great for toddlers and their parents. The property is beautiful, spacious and we loved the cook's kitchen. We've rented many houses for getaways with our group, and this one is by far our favorite. The main house can easily sleep 3 families, and the other two cabins are close by, so everyone feels together, but not too together. Lovely beach and fire pit too.

Fabulous Birthday Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: February 2, 2011 Stayed: January 2011
We spent 4 nights in January 2011 and loved every minute. There were 8 - 10 of us and the cabins and main house provided privacy but allowed conviviality. Much time was spent around the large dining table eating, laughing, playing games. There was plenty of space for us to all watch movies together in the living room as well as cook together in the glorious kitchen. The beach and the view are the main attraction and they didn't disappoint. We hiked to the State Park, and, from the ginormous deck, watched seals play, eagles soar, bats whiz by. Listened to frogs and owls. Saw more stars than we can from the city. It was magical. We will definitely be renting again!
