Room to Gather. Space to Breathe
the cedars at Whidbey Island
Where the forests meet the sea – and time slows down.
Nestled among towering cedars on Whidbey Island’s eastern edge, The Cedars is Esterre’s most spacious home — designed to welcome family, friends, and the fullness of time together. The home strikes a balance between openness and intimacy. Expansive windows frame views of Saratoga Passage and Holmes Harbor, inviting the outside in, while cozy nooks and shared spaces foster a sense of ease. Step down to the driftwood-strewn beach, linger over dinners in the great room, or start your morning in the sauna or exercise room.
Here, nature sets the pace — and there’s space for everyone to follow it.

Year-round rhythm
In spring, the cedars come alive with birdsong and bloom. Eagles nest overhead, and the forest floor softens underfoot.
Summer brings long days and golden light — perfect for beach walks at low tide, kayaking along the shore, and dinners that stretch into starlight.
Autumn turns the island quiet and crisp. Morning mist rises over the Sound, and cozy evenings call for a book, a blanket, and a fire.
In winter, it’s just you and the water’s edge. Spot sea lions playing in the water below and settle into the stillness that only this season knows.
No matter the month, The Cedars offers a place to return — again and again — where the rhythm of the island becomes your own.
