TreeTops: Whidbey Island bayside retreat with sound and Olympic Mountain views

TreeTops is a peaceful and spacious retreat located in Clinton, Washington near the southern tip of beautiful Whidbey Island. TreeTops is just a 10-minute drive from the Clinton ferry terminal which runs every half-hour to the mainland at Mukilteo, north of Seattle. TreeTops is perched high upon a bluff above an exclusive marina on Cultus Bay surrounded by mature native trees, hence the name. From the expansive view windows or the deck you can watch cruise ships and many other vessels pass by in the shipping channel of Puget Sound with the majestic snow-covered Olympic Mountains beyond. As nature blankets you, observe the numerous wildlife including deer, bunnies, shore birds, and a nest of Eagles a mere 50 yards away. Our safe and friendly community is called Sandy Hook Yacht Club Estates. TreeTops is an idyllic getaway for one or many. Throughout every season, you will find something for everyone to enjoy!

The beach on Cultus Bay is a quick walk down from TreeTops. You can experience some of the best beach combing and clam digging during low tide. Enjoy long leisurely beach walks while watching the sunrise or sunset. Two family friendly community parks are also within walking distance. The first park has a play structure with swings overlooking the beachfront. A large grassy area allows free play with activities such as frisbee, football, soccer or kite flying. The community campfire pit is a cozy gathering place for roasting s’mores and ending a perfect day spent with family and friends.
