Oak Harbor House Rental Photos and Description
3 Bedrooms + sofa bed in library, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 6-8 maximum)
The Soaring Eagle Lodge on Whidbey Island is a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of city life. This spectacular waterfront lodge overlooks the Puget Sound, Mount Baker and the beautiful Cascade Mountain Range. Enjoy stunning views throughout the lodge and along our 300 feet of bluff frontage, with an adventure trail leading down to your own private beach.
Soaring Eagle Lodge is nestled on 2.7 acres of towering evergreen trees, 100 feet above the waters of Skagit Bay and the Puget Sound.
The property takes its name from the majestic Bald Eagles, which soar along the water’s edge. Their nests are the largest of any bird in North America and we have a clear view of our eagle's nest from the Great Room. We have had 10 successful chicks since the eagles first built the nest in 2004. They allowed the nest to rest for 3 years (from 2012 to 2015) and returned for the 2016 nesting season. The Bald Eagle is said to be the fastest growing bird in the world. This year our chick hatched on May 7th and fledged in mid-August. We look forward to our next chick during the 2017 nesting season.
The lodge caters to those who enjoy luxury accommodations and modern conveniences. From deluxe “Sleep Number” beds, cozy “Cuddle Robes,” heated bathroom floors, 3 cozy fireplaces and an outdoor jacuzzi hot tub – to a gourmet kitchen which will delight any chef, you will feel pampered throughout your stay.
Sit by a warm fire with a cup of tea or coffee and gaze out through our 24 ft wall of windows at the spectacular water and mountain views.
There are many activities available on Whidbey Island, such as fishing, kayaking, whale watching, boat tours, golfing, hiking, shopping and more.
We are also centrally located for day trips to Port Townsend, Vancouver BC, Victoria BC, Seattle, Anacortes, Langley, Coupeville, La Connor and the San Juan Islands. However you choose to spend your time, you will feel rested and relaxed after your visit to Soaring Eagle Lodge.
Whidbey was identified as one of the 5 best places on the planet to visit by the New York Times “T Magazine” and Life Magazine voted Whidbey as one of the top 100 places in the world to visit.

STUNNING HOME
From the second you pull up you know it's gonna be good!! This home is amazingly beautiful! Super clean and stocked better than any home we have ever rented (and we have rented a lot)!! They have every spice you'll ever need and then some! The bedrooms are all beautiful with super comfortable beds! Heated floors in the bathroom..well now I want them at home:) - We had 8 adults staying here and there was plenty of room, no one every felt like they were in anyone's way. We all had our own space when needed! We cooked in almost every night (which is something we very seldom do) but the kitchen just calls to you to cook in! We enjoyed every evening after a full day of sight seeing out by the fire, best fire pit ever! We made some special memories around it! We even made a fire a couple mornings! The patio and yard are just awesome. I cannot say enough how very much we enjoyed our stay! We kept watch for eagles and never saw them in the nest but believe we did see a younger one flying. The view is beyond beautiful, we never got tired of it!! Mary is the best! She and Al were staying in there caretakers quarters but we'd have never known if not told that. She is right on anything you need. I would highly recommend this home! You will not be disappointed!! (were there 9/5/16-9/10/16)
AMAZING!
All I can say is this is one of the best homes I've ever rented!! Mary has been amazing the whole way through and extremely accommodating. The property is so beautiful & well-maintained! It's true amazing! It is supplied with everything, every possible need that you could think of is offered, they think of everything! Thank you so much for being part one of my favorite experiences! I look forward to continue renting this beautiful place as long as I can!! Good luck in all your future endeavors! Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!

Absolutely Beautiful
This 3 bedroom house is beautifully decorated, well appointed, spotlessly clean, charming and just plain wonderful. My favorite feature was spying on the family of eagles and watching the seal splash in the water while I sipped my coffee and read my book on the back porch each morning I was there. Eagle Lodge (not sure why it is called a lodge) has all the amenities you would expect from a high end property like down comforters, hair dryer, (hair dryer is low volume. If you like lots of air force, bring your own) nice toiletries, clothes soap for washer, family games and DVDs. I especially liked the fresh Starbucks coffee set up since we arrived late and didn't do our grocery shopping until the next day. The kitchen is spacious and very beautiful. I suppose you can say it is a "gourmet" kitchen. It has a 36" propane cook top and an outdoor gas grill. There are many dry spices, dry goods (except oils. Pam and butter are provided) basic cooking utensils, pots, pans and dishes to choose from. However the kitchen lacks any type of chefs knife and a large frying pan. Mary, the owner, will greet you warmly upon your arrival and will cheerily answer your questions and explain ALL the house rules to you in great detail before you remove your luggage from your car. For example, she will explain the extreme sensitivities of the septic system and it's limitations like cooking oils of any type which are strictly forbidden down the drain, hence Pam and butter. (That seemed logical to me. But why not wipe your pan out with a paper towel and throw it away?) In addition, due to the sensitive septic system no more than 8 people are allowed on the property at the same time without authorization. This includes guests who are not sleeping over. This fact is ambiguous in the contract. Luckily, this was not a problem for us. It is also stated in the contract that Mary and her husband live on the property in the apartment above the garage. You don't see them hardly at all, however, it is a lot like having your parents with you on a vacation. You always know they are there and you feel like they will catch you doing something wrong. You can hear them in the master bathroom. Although this place is extremely beautiful and is located in an amazing secluded environment, it didn't feel totally private. This is why I have given this property 4 stars instead of 5. All in all this is a lovely property and I would recommend it.
Beautiful home, wonderful weekend.
We stayed at the Soaring Eagle Lodge for 3 nights on Memorial Day Weekend. Quite simply, our visit was excellent. The home was large but cozy. Our 2 and 5 year old found the impressive park-like grounds of the estate to be full of places to explore, and the bald eagle's nest and daily close-proximity flying was so special and fun (and made for some great photos). While steep, the journey to the water made for fun family adventures. The covered hot tub was a nightly treat as well! All in all, I'd highly recommend this house for some time to unwind or family/friend getaways. Our family has stayed at several 5-star 10+ reviews VRBOs and this is definitely worthy of such a rating as well. Thank you Mary for your timely/helpful communication, hopefully we'll be back again soon!
Luxury, Elegant, nature loving, and clean
Everything was perfect. It was worth it. Going to the beach was a bit of adventuresome but also was worth it once we got to the quiet beach.
Soaring Views!
What a beautiful part of the Skagit Bay and a luxury property for any and all to enjoy. We will definitely come back.
