Greet each day with a warm cup of coffee, a seat on the front porch, and a beautiful view of Admiralty Bay at this duplex home at the Fort Casey Inn. This century-old property sits in the heart of Whidbey Island - the perfect home base for days spent hiking, beachcombing, and taking long scenic drives.
The Fort Casey Inn dates back to 1909, with its cottages once serving as quarters for non-commissioned officers at neighboring Fort Casey. Today, the adjacent Fort Casey State Park is one of the prettiest spots on Whidbey Island, with its bunkers and batteries, a lovely lighthouse, driftwood-strewn beaches, and awe-inspiring sunset views of the Olympic Mountains across the water. You can walk to the Coupeville Ferry Dock (which connects to Port Townsend) and drive to the Ebey's Landing Bluff Trail (three miles) and picturesque downtown Coupeville (four miles) in a matter of minutes.
As part of the inn, this two-story home enjoys access to grills and picnic tables on the grounds. If you're traveling with a group, the meeting space at Garrison Hall is even available for gatherings and retreats.
Inside, the house has a simple understated charm, from the kitchen with its black-and-white tile floor to the living room warmed by a gas fireplace. There's no TV to distract you, so you can spend your time here reading by the fire, playing cards at the table, and sipping wine on the front porch at golden hour. When it's time to turn in for the night, find two bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs.
You must be 21 years or older to rent this property.
