Iconic No-Bank Waterfront on Sunlight Beach: Whidbey Island's Most Coveted Shore. Just 35 miles from Seattle, this waterfront home sits on South Whidbey Island's most treasured stretch of sandy shoreline: Sunlight Beach on Useless Bay. At over 2,900 square feet with cathedral ceilings, great room, and two primary suites with water views, this is a perfect second home. Outside, two large yards, two decks, and a patio offer generous space for both entertaining and quiet relaxation. Sleeping for sixteen and perfect for large gatherings, yet intimate enough for a quiet weekend for two. Wake to majestic views of the Olympic Mountains, Mt. Rainier, and Puget Sound. Step onto an expansive, driftwood-framed beach that feels entirely your own. The water here is shallow and calm: made for paddle boards, and a kiteboarder's dream when the wind picks up. At low tide the sandy flats stretch impressively out over a half mile. Bald eagles, great blue herons, and shorebirds put on a show all day from the neighboring preserve. Orca, dolphins, and sea otters are frequent visitors just offshore. With over $80,000 gross rental income in 2025 and only perfect ratings on VRBO, this is the rare waterfront investment you'll love using yourself. This is simply one of the finest waterfront properties on Puget Sound. Sunlight Beach does not come available often.
