THE [MADRONA] EVANS HOUSE:
Welcome to The Madrona House - a beautiful wood-shingled waterfront home near Coupeville on Whidbey Island. Located steps away from the beach with wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Penn Cove, The Madrona House is the perfect paradise home for your next getaway.

The Space
Our home is set right on the water with a deck on each level and a view of Penn Cove from every room. The house is bright and beautiful, with natural sunlight pouring in. We love keeping the doors and windows on the main level open all day long for the perfect indoor-outdoor living. The house has a large kitchen fit for any chef, a cozy gas fireplace, and cozy bedrooms, all with views of the water. The sunset is incredible every evening.

The best spot in the house is our beautiful deck outside the kitchen and living area with chairs, a BBQ, and fire pit. It’s the perfect place to watch the sun rise, grill up dinner, and eat al fresco as the sun sets. It’s also the perfect place to unwind with a good book or play games! The deck below has a hot tub and has stairs right down to the beach.

BEDROOMS
We have two bedrooms downstairs – one master with a king sized bed and twin, and a guest room with a queen sized bed and a twin. We also have a loft upstairs with a full bed and a futon that turns into a full. There is a full bathroom upstairs and downstairs! The bedroom layout makes our home the perfect space for a family or two families to share the home.

The Location
Our oceanfront home sits right on the beach with views of Penn Cove and Mt Baker. At low tide, you can walk down the stairs to the beach and walk miles without seeing a single person! It’s the perfect beach for digging for clams and mussels, having a bonfire, or taking a kayak out.

You'll be just 5 minutes from charming downtown Coupeville, which is home to such local favorites as Oystercatcher, Bay Leaf (wine shop), Toby’s, and Front Street Grill (the best mussels in town). We’re also 5 minutes from the gorgeous waterfront hiking trail at Ebey’s Landing.

Great Beach House

Cleanliness

Location

Property condition

This is a great house for a small family with ample space for 2 adults and 2 kids. It is relatively close to the historic town center of Coupeville but not necessarily walkable with small children due to limited but fast moving traffic and limited shoulder on the road. The road can be slightly noisy inside the house on the main floor at peak hours (nothing to worry about). However, the two bedrooms are located downstairs so the sound is blocked by the hill the house in nestled inside of allowing for very comfortable sleeping (no road sounds whatsoever downstairs). By the way, the king bed in the master is extremely comfortable and I wish I knew the brand as I would buy it for myself! Kitchen has everything you would need, decks are wonderful, bathrooms are a little tight for multiple people, view is spectacular! Hot tub had some issues on our trip but probably will be fixed by the time the next vacationers arrive. Highly recommend the house. It was fun.

We are so happy to hear you had fun in this home! We have indeed fixed the hot tub and its ready for guests! We hope you come back and stay with us again soon!

My family of six from New Jersey rented the Evans Beach House for two weeks in August and had a lovely experience! The house was bright, clean, spacious, and very comfortable for all of us. The proximity to the charming downtown Coupeville, ferry, Oak Harbor conveniences, and the cove waterfront (just down the deck stairs!) were perfect for our visit. We made good use of the hot tub and watched beautiful sunsets in front of the fire pit on the spacious deck. Plus, property management was very responsible throughout the booking process. We'd happily recommend this home to others and stay again in the future!

The property was awesome and everyone had such a great time we didn’t want to leave. No issues with the house whatsoever and hopefully we left it in as good as shape as we found it. We spent a lot of time down by the water Harvesting Mussels, clams and Oysters which can all be found at low tide just down on the beach below. The only thing I would have changed about the stay is the weather. This water front property is no exception that when the forecast says it will be cold and windy it will be colder and windier next to the water. We were hoping for a little more warmth during our stay but never really got it. Thanks to the Tara Property Team for having a little gem like this on the market. It was a great extended weekend home away from home for our family to hang out to celebrate my sons graduation.

PNW get-away for a Colorado Family

Location

My family and I spent a week at the Evans beach house and we had such a wonderful time. When you first enter the home, you are greeted with a full-blown view of Penn Cove. Our mouths dropped at the sight of that view. While we spent a few days wandering around the BC area, we spent the rest of the time on island and relaxing at the home, which fit our needs very well.

The only downsides were that the cookware needs an update. Because it is supposedly non-stick, it should be changed out, but the pans are very worn, so everything we cooked stuck. Aside from that, we had a lot of luck using the outdoor grill and had wonderful coffee every morning. One other thing that should be mentioned is the windows. Since they are the main point of the home, they could use a good thorough cleaning inside and out. But...hanging out on the deck sure made up for the lack of clean windows as well as listening to the birds in the morning.

Lastly...and this is a very happy discovery...but, the eagles! We were wowed one early afternoon as we watched one of the resident eagles swoop down into the cove real close by and then fly right in front of the deck on its way to its nest. It was absolutely awesome. Afterward, my hubby and I took a walk along the beach to the Coupeville wharf and on the way noticed two more eagles. One in a tree above our heads and the other a juvenile eagle along the shore.

I shouldn't have said lastly above...but now it is lastly. On our first night at the house, we were all in the hot tub when I heard a blow hole in the cove. I turned to see the back of what I believe was a hump back whale peaking up and then disappearing in the water. Now, that's a warm welcome to Penn Cove if anything.

Thanks again for sharing the Evans beach house.

Very nice, we've stayed here 3 times and really enjoy the accommodations. It's a beautiful setting, comfortable and nicely furnished. The view of Penn Cove is lovely, especially at sunset. This was a girls weekend getaway so we chilled in the hot tub and did some cooking when we weren't on the beach.
A suggestion is to replace some of the nonstick pans as they are pretty worn & not usable. Also, leave some ice in the trays for the next guests!

We stayed at The Evans Beach House for our annual girls weekend Feb 7-11, 2019. There were 8 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! We had plenty of comfortable sleeping options (the mattress in the loft was a pleasant surprise!), seating for meals at the table, comfortable couches and chairs looking out to the water, a spacious hot tub, and the kitchen was fully stocked! We arrived Thurs just before our record breaking Washington snow storm hit, closing down many cities all around us. We took the opportunity to enjoy the fireplace and hot tub, the amazing waterfront view, played games, put together puzzles, and crafted. We had a few out of town friends who joined us on our weekend and Tara Vacations made it very easy to get all of our payments in without a hassle. They were very professional and helpful. The property was well priced, comfortable, and had a fantastic location! I would definitely recommend staying at Evans Beach House any time of the year!

Very relaxing. The house key on the fridge should be replaced. I couldn't get the front door open with it. Go have dinner in Oak Harbor at Frasiers Gourmet Getaway. Absolutely amazing! All the shops in Coupeville were nice and the restaurants were good. The hot tub was dirty when we got there, and not functioning right, but someone was out the next day to correct it, and luckily the hot tub guy came by right after we got there and cleaned it so we wouldn't miss a night of soaking. Thank you! The beds were super cozy and comfy. The grill worked great! Reading, napping, eating.....wonderful place to chill, and watch the harbor seals and herons. Loved the cutting board counter tops. And of course, THE SWING CHAIR! The best amenity at the house! Spent every dusk looking out over Penn Cove with my headphones on and the tunes playing.

Rented the Evans Beach House with my wife and 7 year old son. Home was clean and the only issue we had were a couple of burned out lightbulbs which the management property said they would be happy to replace that day (wasn't necessary for us). The location couldn't have been more perfect as it is maybe a 3 minute drive to the Ebey's Landing hike, restaurants in Coupeville, and 12 min to Oak Harbor. The beach was great for my son who loves to look for crabs under rocks when the tide is low. The fire pit was wonderful to use at night. The hot tub was well maintained and easy to use. I can't recommend this place enough to anyone looking to spend some time on the island.

Overall was a very relaxing vacation. Location and views can't be beat. We really enjoyed watching the birds in the water and at the bird feeder. The hot tub was amazing, and great supply of towels provided. Beds were very comfortable (although we did not use the mattress in the loft). Our only complaint is the lack of usable cooking pots and pans. The ones provided were very old and had the non-stick finish ruined. There was no roasting pan either. Other info that might be helpful to visitors in advance is that there is no cable or netflix. Other than those small things, it was a wonderful stay!

This house is amazing - wide open views of the water, no houses nearby so you have plenty of privacy. Beautiful interior. The dining table also has great views as does the hot tub (very large!).

It is next to the road, but you barely hear the traffic since it doesn't have much traffic. If you plan to bring two cars, it might be tight in the driveway.

Both bedrooms are downstairs so you can make noise upstairs while others are sleeping. Loft above the main room which is fun for younger kids (steep ladder, though).

She had great fun selecting just the right flowers - Total cost $2.50! While we were out of season to pick berries we went to the Berry's farm and they welcomed us onto the property while they were feeding the sheep. We used the hot tub nightly was very easy to use and is always kept hot. There were numerous Eagle sightings as well as seals and on land many deer. We all had a relaxing wonderful five days!

A great place for us. Everything worked as described. Well stocked and great amenities. As with other reviews this is a great place for a group that doesn't mind sharing bedrooms as the "Sleeps 8" means "Sleeps 3 in one bedroom, Sleeps 3 in the other bedroom and 2 in the loft" For us it was perfect! Eagles and Herons cruised by daily, hot tub worked great, lots of kitchen amenities! The beach was great for exploring! Will stay again if we can.

It is a pretty nice home and the location was good close to Coupville and Oak Harbor. The beds were very comfortable but it would be hard for more then 2 couples to stay as you would have to share bedrooms. The loft would be good for kids pretty much have to sleep on the floor.A few problems but all in all it was good for us.

Manager's Response

We're glad you enjoyed the home and the location. The home has two bedrooms and a loft. The king bed, two queen beds, and two twin beds are divided into these spaces. If you had any additional comments/suggestions, please email us. We want to continually improve the property for our future guests, so your thoughts mean a lot to us. Thanks for your review!

We had the most wonderful time! The views from the windows of this house are amazing. It's so peaceful to watch the waves and the birds. We even saw a seal! Everything is very clean. The kitchen is well-stocked. And the beds are comfortable. Our only regret is not choosing to stay a few more days. We will definitely be back

My new wife/best friend Shirley and I were so very pleased to have had a chance to stay at the Evans #243 Beach House. It was so much more then we expected. Plenty of room, very clean and the view was spectacular. The thing we most enjoyed though, was just how private and quite the setting is. We would recommend to anyone that a stay here will make you fall in love with Whidbey Island and the surrounding area. Our last night there, the evening breezes were calm enough to enjoy a fire in the outdoor fire hearth. That was icing on a really great cake. We would be very happy to pick this beautiful place for another stay.

We're so glad that you and your wife/best friend were able to have such a great experience. We hope you'll come back soon. Thank you for your review!

Book Club Retreat a Success!

This year six of us attended our annual book club retreat. We loved this home! I think it was our favorite of all of them. Though it's right on the road, once you go in you don't notice at all because your attention is grabbed by the fantastic view onto the water at the other side of the house. The mussel farm is right there, too, and it actually made the view even more interesting. At high tide the water is right up to the retaining wall, but at other times the pebbly beach is pleasantly walkable. The house is very convenient to the parks we like - Fort Ebey State Park, Fort Casey Historical State Park, and - my favorite - Ebey's Landing. And of course, charming Coupeville is very nearby. The house is well appointed, comfortable and clean. We had a wonderful long weekend and were very happy with this place, as well as with the property management company.

We had some friends in town from Colorado, and they wanted to experience a Pacific Northwest Island stay. What better place than Whidbey Island!!! We had a great visit, and the house was wonderful. We enjoyed watching the mussel farm outside our window in Penn Cove. Even had some mussels at Christopher's down in Coupeville. A visit to Christopher's is a must if you are staying in Coupeville. Make sure to make reservations.
We loved the privacy, and the walks on the beach. Loved everything about it! Thank you!

What a great place to enjoy ringing in the New Year. Even with temperatures in the low 20s, the amount of windows in this location allowed you to enjoy nature at it's finest. The kitchen and dining amenities were great. The large island allowed nice, festive flow for a family of eight. The bed configurations worked out just fine too. The two teenagers in our party loved the loft. Having bathrooms on both floors of the house, access to a washer and dryer, and the hot tub were a bonus as well. Working with Josh and Sharon at Tara Property Management South was also a breeze too. High school combinations locks are a distant memory for me. I really appreciate Josh's patience walking me through the process again. Looking forward to a return visit. Cheers!

Overall our stay was excellent except for an issue with the hot tub. We could not get the temp to go above 95*. Since the tub is used as a selling point, and because there are usage charges applied in the rental contract, we are asking for a partial refund. (Already in process.)

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for your review! We are so sorry about the hot tub. I just want all future guests to know that the hot tub works great and the problem was the result of the hot tub controls getting changed to sleep mode. We assume this was caused from a previous guest hitting the wrong buttons accidentally. The hot tub is working great now that we fixed that problem. Again our apologies go out to this guest for the problem and a refund of their hot tub fee has been issued.
thank you!

Great experience! The house was beautiful, just as it appeared on the website. Right next to the water, two decks, and plenty of space inside. I was also impressed by all the helpful items and amenities throughout the house: TV/DVD player/DVDs, plethora of cooking and eating utensils, large gas grill and outdoor fireplace, etc. Check in and check out was fine. The house was clean. No complaints. It is also a short drive to Fort Ebey State Park, which has wonderful hiking trials.
