Year Round Beachfront Escape. Mountain Views, Hot Tub, Dedicated Retreat Room

Welcome to Salt and Soul Beach House, a premium year-round seaside retreat for families, friends, retreats and offsites.

This expansive house is nestled on a private shy acre overlooking stunning SE views of Holmes Harbor, Saratoga Passage, and the Cascades - providing front-row seats to wildlife and dramatic sea-skyscapes.

We are located about 20 minutes from the ferry, halfway between Langley and Coupeville with the historic Greenbank Farm within a quick walk. This well stocked home is perfect for those who come to the island for hiking, biking, excursions and strolls through the historic towns OR for those who plan to stay on property to connect, cook, eat and enjoy the sanctuary of the beach and grounds.

With five bedrooms, four comfortable sitting rooms, and outdoor spaces galore, there is plenty of space to spread out and do various activities like cooking, lounging, swimming, birdwatching, beach-combing, hot tubbing, yoga or games. Luxury linens, Mexican beach blankets, yoga mats, board games, puzzles and life jackets are available on-site. Bring your own paddle boards (all water use at your own risk, we do not provide any water craft.)

The house is designed for all different types of group trips. Girls trip? A retreat for your clients, team or business? Mom and daughters group? A few small families? Family reunion? We are ready for it.

Plan your experience today. Inquiries prior to bookings welcome. We also offer retreat planning support.

We had a wonderful day and very much enjoyed this beautiful home! The home has everything that one could ask for, clean, comfortable accommodations, a generously sized sparkling clean Jacuzzi, a beautiful and quiet beachfront for evening campfires and room for pet guests to enjoy themselves. We very much appreciated all of the personal design touches that the owners curated, that so many rental homes lack; well done!! We highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! It’s beautifully decorated, well-equipped, and the views are truly unbeatable. I was amazed at how calm the water was—we’ve never been anywhere on the Sound with such peaceful conditions. It was perfect for the kids to paddleboard, do a little crabbing, and enjoy quiet bonfires on the beach. We can’t wait to come back!

Starting with the front door lock, their solution for remembering the code was brilliant, and it made me wonder why everybody doesn't do it like that.Beautiful views and beautiful interior. Kitchen is filled with new appliances and everything you could ever need to feed a family of 14. ;-) The beaches to the north are fantastic and wild even though only a short walk away,from the house. Plenty of bird-watching, seal-watching, people watching (although more birds and seals than people) and - we're given to understand - a spectacular view of Mt. Rainier. Unfortunately, it never cleared enough to see it, but we needed the rain.
Tidepooling along the beaches to the north.
Plenty for the great-grandkids to do. And they LOVED the bunkroom.
Beautiful, even with the clouds.

We had a wonderful time, thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished it could have been for a longer period. The rental was so nice and comfortable for our large (9) group. Well equipped with necessities and clear instructions on how to care for the cabin while there and what to do upon leaving. Very clean and amazing view! Great access to the beach. We’d like to return next summer!

Fools Weekend

We loved the house and hope to return next year. The three separate gathering spaces on the main floor were perfect for having a puzzle and multiple games going at the same time. The kitchen was simply stocked with quality dishes. Beach access was easy and the beach itself was interesting and quiet, except for all the eagles. Beds were all comfortable and bedding was quality. I also loved how well signed everything was without being tacky.

Gorgeous waterfront home

Our stay was wonderful! The house is even nicer in person than the photos show. Everything was clean, well-organized, and abundantly stocked. Elisabeth was easy to communicate with and always responded promptly. Only thing to be wary of could be the level changes between some of the rooms if you have little ones. That didn’t occur to us when booking but could be problematic if you have an adventurous crawler.

Big water view in Greenbank

Large house on a hill with a fabulous east view of the Sound, very private. Like most rentals, the house has some quirky spaces, but we enjoyed staying there. Good walking beach when the tide is low.

peaceful and spacious beachfront home

We had a great family reunion at this lovely home. The decks, large yard, and lowbank beachfront give you lots of space to roam. The 5 bedrooms and 4 common spaces make it easy for everyone to find their own space for fun or quiet times. The kitchen is super well equipped for cooking projects. All the decor is modern and tasteful. Highly recommend.

Lovely, groovy, uber relaxing retreat

Loved this stay! Incredibly beautiful, peaceful home and as it says in the name - soulful. Comfort and cozy is in every detail and the view is breathtaking. Perfect place for any sized group and if you’re looking for a chance to view wildlife, migrating birds, rainbows, sunrises and sunsets you’ve found your destinations. We got them all! Our host was fantastic as well - spot on with her reccomendations and responded immediately. She left us lovely snacks to nibble on and the house is stocked like a real home. We plan to book her house again next year for our work retreat and our book club/yoga getaways! So glad we found this gem!

Beautiful waterfront retreat

Absolutely beautiful home, right on the water! Our host thought of everything! The home has 3 living rooms, plus a large meditation/ yoga room with a fireplace. Yoga mats are there too! I can’t say enough about the kitchen, it’s equipped with everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed many walks on the beach, the awesome sunrise, coffee on the deck, hot tub, the setting is perfect! It’s very quiet, with nature all around. We went shopping in Coupville and Langley, great shops! My only complaint is that our stay was too short, next time we will stay longer!

A wonderful weekend getaway

Thank you Elisabeth for opening up your lovely home for my weekend away with friends. The house was gorgeous, clean, and well stocked. We found the layout of the house great for lounging, cooking and eating together as a group, and hanging out down at the fire pit was a highlight. The beach was perfect for long walks exploring the shoreline. My whole group loved the house and will definitely be back again when we can!
