Studio on the water's edge of Penn Cove

The studio is in a separate building from the main house in this little slice of paradise that is a part of Ebeys National Historic Reserve and is on a beach right at the water's edge of Penn Cove. Nature abounds on this unique property, with eagles, hawks, gulls, owls, herons, oyster catchers and so many other birds showing up on the shores. You will often spot harbor seals, and the occasional otter and orca, too. Whether you are looking for a romantic and peaceful escape from city life, or an active few days exploring the numerous state parks, fishing, crabbing, kayaking, boating, antiquing, wine tasting at nearby island wineries, tasting locally produced ales, getting fresh produce from local farms, enjoying the quaint town of Coupeville, there are many options. The studio has a stove and refrigerator, so you are able to prepare light meals. There is an outdoor, under cover picnic area. There is also a cedar hot tub and sauna available for use for an extra daily fee (usually included in quote, but is optional). This property falls into the rain shadow and is south facing, so we often see sunshine when a lot of the Pacific Northwest is under cloud cover or rain. Located a few minutes from the town of Coupeville, and with Oak Harbor a few minutes in the other direction, State parks nearby, this studio located in a rural private enclave right on the water offers something for everyone to enjoy.

Please note that either myself and my husband or a caretaker will almost always be staying in the main house during your stay, so if any issues arise, would be able to address them as soon as is feasible.

For a limited time, we are also offering a basement suite in the main house with a separate private entrance that has a kitchen and its own separate hot tub and firepit area. See VRBO rental # 2989661. The availability is from April 6th to July 3rd, 2025.

Great Stay
The Penn cove studio was perfect for a quick Whidbey getaway! It’s an amazing location, right on the water and a quick bike ride to the Kettles or fort Ebey state park. The place is clean and comfy and the hosts are super friendly. Can’t wait to stay again!

Stay at Studio on Penn Cove
Such a good time my husband and I had in spite of cold weather and wind. This is a delightful spot, and we plan to return in the spring. The owners were very nice and low key. A five rating!

Relaxing Stay
My mom and I loved this studio. It was the perfect size, had everything we needed, and we had our beach private beach access. If we travel to Whidbey Island again, we’ll look into staying here again.

A slice of heaven
This place was perfection. The pictures don’t do it justice. The studio itself is cozy and lovely. The property is adorable and right on the cove! We also enjoyed the hot tub which was perfectly sized for the two of us and looked out into the water. Don’t pass up this amazing slice of heaven!!!

Great spot on Penn Cove
I enjoyed my stay here very much and the hot tub was a very nice treat. There’s a small market up the street and the studio is right at the water’s edge with lots to see and relaxing sounds of the water on the shore.

Loved the Natural Vibes at Penn Cove
The Studio on Penn Cove was perfect for our short stay on Whidbey Island. We loved walking on the beach early in the morning and again in the evening. The hosts have created a natural and relaxing atmosphere that reflects the diversity of the island. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer.

Cozy & Serene
I wish I could have stayed at least a day longer at this gem. The bed is so fluffy and comfy, everything felt extremely clean. We made use of the little kitchenette, it was great for simple meals. The cedar hot tub was delicious and overall I felt I had more than adequate privacy despite this being a guesthouse. Every interaction with the hosts was lovely. They even let us pick some apples from the yard! The real treasure was launching our paddle boards from the private beach. Highly recommend this stay

Beautiful stay
This was one of our favorite stays ever. Beautiful cottage on a beach peppered with muscles and clams. The hot tub was an added treat to take in the view. Coupeville is a very cute town and was a convenient location to hike and other activities. The groundskeeper Bill kindly made us a soup with the shellfish on the beach and it remains one of the best meals we have had, and was so generous! Really recommend this place!

Studio on the water
I stayed at the studio with my daughter for a weekend. The studio was beautiful and comfortable. It was small, but it was perfect for our stay. Debbie was a great hostess. She was patient with me as I was a first time VRBO user. I think our favorite part was seeing the animals on the property, especially watching the duck play in the cove. We would definitely stay here again.

The best sunrises
We had a great little relaxing weekend here, and the sunrises are well worth getting up for…even if you aren’t a morning person. It’s a perfect spot to sit and find a little peace.

Front door to Wild Life
Seals, herons, eagles, and bunnies! Oh my! We had no idea that we would be visited by so many wild animals. (The host also has a friendly duck and chickens). Our host was very communicative and thoughtful. The space has everything you need. Peaceful and off the grid.

Me and my partner both had a great time! We came to whidbey island to relax and we got to relax! Home was really beautiful and the views were stunning from the house. Sunrise was a cherry on top. Our dog Millie felt welcomed and had a great time! Thank Debbie for giving us a great and relaxing weekend.

Penn Cove no
The property was amazing. You are adjacent to the water which as a former islander I love. The room was immaculate and the loft provided additional space with which to relax. We had a 15 month female lab so we were nervous about her making a mess. Also, the access and where to and from the driveway can be tricky with traffic but is doable.I would recommend.

Peaceful Penn Cove
This property, although small, was perfect for us! Quiet, perfect distance from the water. We could hear the birds and the wind. I would definitely stay there again on my future visits to Coupeville. Or anywhere on the island because of it's central location. Deborah was gracious enough to help me with the booking. (cause i'm old and some of this stuff can be confusing) Deborah was a delight eventhough we barely spoke in passing. Thank you fo keeping such a clean little get away, Deborah! We LOVED it!

Nice, clean studio space on the water at Penn Cove
Nice clean studio space right on the water at Penn Cove. Very charming property and welcoming owners. Close to downtown Coupeville for take out meals enjoyed at the space. Super Comfortable king bed. My partner and our dog enjoyed our 2 night stay there.
