About this property

Peaceful Island Retreat with Community Dock on Whidbey Island

  • Summary:

    Z-Resort



    The Space:

    Escape to the 'Z' Resort, a tranquil canal-front retreat located just outside Oak Harbor in a peaceful residential community—offering the perfect balance of comfort, space, and the laid-back charm of island living.



    Just 35 miles north of Seattle, Whidbey Island is the gateway to the breathtaking San Juan Islands and offers some of the best boating and coastal exploration in the Pacific Northwest. Arrive via a scenic ferry ride from Mukilteo to Clinton or drive around via the iconic Deception Pass Bridge—either way, your island adventure begins the moment you travel here.



    This home sits directly on a quiet canal with direct access to Skagit Bay, making it a dream for boaters, kayakers, and water lovers of all kinds. Step out onto the spacious deck and enjoy panoramic views of the water. Whether you’re sipping coffee at sunrise, or relaxing in the evening with a glass of wine as the sun sets to the west, the connection to nature is constant and calming.



    Guests often spot seals, seabirds, and the occasional eagle soaring overhead. When the tide is right, try your hand at seasonal crabbing or walk along the nearby shores of Dugualla Bay State Park in search of sandy beaches and sea treasures. The rhythmic sounds of the water and the salty breeze create a serene backdrop that instantly melts away stress.



    Inside, the home features an open-concept design that creates a seamless flow between the spacious living and dining areas and the fully equipped kitchen, complete with a gas range, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. Large windows throughout bring in natural light and frame peaceful views of the canal.



    There are two private bedrooms: a king bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a queen bedroom with a full bath just steps away. A separate family room includes a vintage pinball machine for a fun, nostalgic touch and offers additional sleeping space with an additional queen-size bed. The living room features a cozy wood stove, and guests can enjoy a big-screen smart TV for streaming, DVD player with DVD library, and stereo system for entertainment.



    This home is dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry companions along for the adventure.



    Come enjoy the beauty and simplicity of true waterfront living at the 'Z' Resort—your perfect home base for exploring all that north Whidbey Island has to offer.

This was a great location for weekend getaway. The kitchen has great stock of dishes and pots and pans. Plenty of room for family of 4 and each kid got their own bed.

This was a beautiful, extremely quickly location on the water. We loved sitting out in the evenings, watching the birds and stargazing. It’s also conveniently located to multiple state parks including Deception Pass.I recommend this place to people to want to get up and be on the water early. For everyone else I recommend a sleeping mask, which thankfully I had. The open floor plan was great for us as a couple, but as the only room that completely closes is the bathroom off the kitchen, I wouldn’t recommend it to those who want privacy among their party.Unfortunately among the many quirks of this place was that the back door did not securely latch and was easily opened when locked. According to my locksmith partner, it needs replacing. I also got stung in the living room by a wasp on our first evening there - the house book mentioned they have them from time to time. While I’m thankfully not allergic, anyone who is should bring their meds.

Five star view and location

This is a comfortable well loved home with a welcoming atrium entry, comfortable main living space, a five star view in a perfect location that met our needs. Some quirks with pocket doors that don't fully close may be an issue for people who prefer more privacy. Also, the backyard area is small and not fenced if you have kids or pups that may wander. Otherwise, the home offers a beautiful space to gather, relax, and enjoy beautiful Whidbey Island.
