Barranco by AvantStay | Stairway to Beach + Views

Want to escape to one of the most magical and secluded spots on Whidbey Island? Named after Lima’s charming Barranco neighborhood, this contemporary waterfront gem is ready to show your group an unforgettable experience. Perched high on a southwest-facing bank, with sweeping views of the Sound and Olympic Mountains, you’ll have easy access to the beach and South Whidbey State Park.

Outside, panoramic sunsets and a private stairway to the shore beckon – a 3-4 minute walk to 4+ miles of sandy walking beaches. Driftwood forts, campfires, salmon fishing, and old-growth forest hikes await. Lounge on the entertainment deck, warmed by the gas fire pit, gaze at eagles and whales, or take a soak in the hot tub as you take in the waterfront views.

Indoors, a chef’s kitchen leads to an open living space with a gas fireplace. Explore the detached unit with a recreation room featuring a pool table, foosball, ping pong, shuffleboard, air hockey, Pop-A-Shot Basketball, and a children’s corner. A guest loft offers even more space, making this a perfect choice for families and groups of friends.

Embrace the blend of nature and luxury. Escape to Barranco – where beauty, solitude, inspiration, and fun make for a one-of-a-kind group experience.
