Bring Your Heart and Embrace Romance on the Islands
The secret ingredient to romance is the ability to see your constant love, but through yesterday’s eyes when you first felt the electricity in your heart. Here on Whidbey and Camano Islands, we practice that rejuvenated wonder year-round. We wake to stunning Cascade sunrises, commute through a mysterious blanket of mist, laugh at our friends’ old jokes, watch the water in mysterious wonder for the next Grey or Orca whale breach, and sit by cozy fires as the sun falls to rest behind the Olympic Mountain Range. We never tire of it, not for a moment, and look with softened eyes and beating hearts in the calm of our Island retreats and ask ourselves, “could this be love?”
Through the rolling hills of Island County farmland, surrounded by dramatic bluffs looming over secluded beaches, the peace and tranquility we collectively preserve sets a stage for new love to spark. Those visiting our Islands receive a warm and hospitable welcome, immersing themselves in a full-body noise cancellation of the daily grind and depart rejuvenated on a first-name basis with every local they meet. Give in to the priceless experience of reconnecting with the love of your life, or the thrill of first telling them what they truly mean to you, as the waves of the Salish Sea, swaying Madrona trees, and Island Warmth seclude you from distraction, and refocus you on the completion piece of your heart.
