Meet Vanessa, Eric & Happy

Providing accessible, dog-friendly spaces on Whidbey Island

Hello! My name is Vanessa, my husband is Eric, and we have a daughter in college and a Husky-German Shepherd mix dog named Happy at home.​I grew up in Washington and Eric grew up in Michigan and Wyoming.

We bonded over our love of the natural world and our interest in spending time by the water and near tall trees. We loved Whidbey Island and over the years we have invested in two very different properties in the south end of the island.

Both have beautiful views of the mountains and water - elements that bring us joy and fill our hearts. Our passion is to provide vacation opportunities that create lasting memories. Both of our homes are accessible (ADA compliant) and dog friendly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Providing accessible, dog-friendly spaces on Whidbey Island

Is it okay to leave my dog alone in the house if we go out to dinner?

If your dog is well behaved, won't bark or become anxious during absence, yes, you can leave your dog unattended for short blocks of time. But please remember, pets are not allowed on furniture.

Can we launch kayaks from Bells Beach?

Unfortunately there is no parking and no boat ramp at Bells Beach. So for guests who want to take their kayaks out, we have several other recommendations for public beaches on the island that make it easy to launch a kayak.

Why is Bells Beach Lookout not suitable for guests younger than 13 years old?

Bells Beach Lookout is not designed with children's safety in mind. The hot tub has a lid that doesn't lock and there are several sets of stairs. And the bathrooms only have showers, and no bath tubs.

How will we access the house?

Two days before your arrival date, you will receive an email with a unique door code for the digital lock. This door code is timed to match your arrival and check out dates and times.

Gorgeous spot! ♥️

Mark H. Hillside Haven,

This place is amazing! Quiet neighborhood, peaceful, and we even had a bald eagle with babies in the front yard tree! The kitchen had everything you could ask for - spices, tools, utensils - the walk in master bath shower was amazing, and the hot tub was spotless. Beds were very comfy and we loved relaxing on the front deck overlooking the water. We walked the neighborhood each morning and saw some beautiful gardens. Everyone we met was very friendly, we loved it. We will definitely be back.

Jessica Bells Beach Lookout - 2 Bed/2 Bath,

Incredible getaway- this spot has everything you need. Beautiful location, peaceful and organized. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were very thankful for the hosts quick and attentive communication.

Melanie Hillside Haven,

Absolutely wonderful stay! Vanessa’s place was incredible — clean, well-stocked with towels and supplies, and thoughtfully set up for comfort. On a clear day, the view of the mountains is breathtaking. The mutiny bay beach nearby is perfect for catching a stunning sunset — a must-see, just as Vanessa recommended. Honestly, you could spend your whole time just relaxing at the house and feel completely content. Highly recommended!

Nazar Bells Beach Lookout - 2 Bed/2 Bath,

Highly recommend this lovely home! It was spotless, well-stocked, and the king bed was very comfy. Excellent communication from the hosts, Vanessa and Eric, they made us feel very welcome. Having a fenced in yard was a big plus for our little doggie! To top off our stay we got to see whales from the heated deck 3 days in a row.

Carolyn Johnson Bells Beach Lookout - 2 Bed/2 Bath,

We had a great time with our 2-year old, and a small dog. There are small tags throughout the house, which shows that Vanessa puts a lot of thoughts on creating a great experience. Having a crib was super convenient for us, and the piano by the window was a great surprise, and our little one enjoyed playing with it.

Zhen Hillside Haven,

Great spot! One of the best equipped stays I’ve ever had. Wish I could have spent more time at the house and less at the wedding!

Sam Bells Beach Lookout - 3 Bed/2.5 Bath,

The perfect place to relax after days exploring Whidbey's parks, trails, and towns. The home has a cozy cabin feel complete with gorgeous views. We really appreciated the amenities and recommendations the hosts provided. Be sure to keep an eye out for deer as you make your way through the neighborhood!
