The Boatyard Inn

I just spent the past weekend here and was totally impressed! My boyfriend and I stayed in Studio 9. It isn’t directly on the water but still has beautiful views. Also, the bed is raised so there is a beautiful view of the water from bed as well. Since we were there in February it was a little too cold to enjoy the balcony but we both agreed in warmer months it would be awesome. We will definitely be back!

Spent two nights here this weekend with my husband. It was so stormy and nasty outside all we could do was light a fire, watch the water and enjoy each other’s company.
This was one of the best get away serve ever had together– everything was clean, cozy, comfortable, customer service was perfect.
The location is great– you really can’t beat a view like this– and easily walkable to town, or the beach.
Our only regret was that we didn’t bring our kayaks! We loved touring around Langley, the food and people were incredible.
Thanks for a great stay! We’ll be back for sure!

We loved the Boatyard Inn! The location is great — only 15 minutes to the Clinton Ferry and a 2 minute walk to restaurants and shops in Langley. We stayed in the Marina room and it was perfect. Very clean, beautifully decorated and huge. The bathroom is spectacular and has heated floors.

I’ve stayed here a few times over the past couple of years. Nice accommodations. Views can’t be beat — it’s waterfront (some rooms). My only concern with this place is how wasteful the water usage is here. The rooms I’ve stayed in have full flow faucets and showers. To the point where it’s extremely wasteful. My suggestion would be to install water saving faucets in all the rooms. In this day and age there is just no need for the type of faucets. We need to be more water conscious. Other than that, we love this place and will be back. The basket of free goodies is also a great touch! We have always enjoyed our time here. Thanks.

My girlfriend and I arrived late afternoon, Mynda greeted us (even carried one of our 50lb bags to room 12 on the 2^nd floor!). The second we walked into our room, we new we found the perfect place to celebrate my 50^th birthday. The room was large, clean, plenty of amenities and the view was out of this world!!! Mynda was super sweet and made is feel incredibly welcome.
We woke up early to witness the prettiest sunrise we’ve ever seen. The calmness of the water, the sounds of the birds, the view of the mountains will remain in my memory forever.
Hope to make this an annual destination. LOVED IT!

We loved this location. My husband and I needed a short vacation to relax and rest. This place was just the spot! It is for sure the best place we have stayed at in a very long time. It is extremely clean, a large deck, comfortable bed and nice bedding. The sun rise is all you need. We stayed in unit 5 and it was the best! Hearing the water lap up against the shore was heaven. It is a short walk to town and the Useless Café has the best coffee and food. We did the glass blowing and it was awesome. The Star Store has all you need! Wonderful. We will return in Sept. And can’t wait. So, if your looking for quiet and relaxing you need to stay at The Boatyard.
Thank you Myanda for an amazing stay. Can’t wait to see you again.

Home away from home. Owned by super helpful local couple. Just a great place to relax and serve as a base to explore the island. 5 minute walk to The Braeburn, Primo Bistro, and Useless Bay Coffee. We’ll be back soon!

Love the location. Right on the beach. We had room 9 which isn’t directly on the water but it’s still nice. Tastefully decorated, coffee maker with good coffee, lots of teas, free pastries in the morning (not the cheap ones, but really tasty ones), nice deck, comfortable queen size bed and soft pillows. We’ve stayed at the inn at Langley before and like the boatyard better. Relaxing and Quiet!

We wanted to get away from Seattle for a few days. This Inn came highly recommended. Exterior clean and modern. Location is convenient to the downtown and kayaking. Great place! Amazing views and value. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend.

I loved everything about my stay at The Boatyard Inn. Unfortunately I was only able to stay for one night, but I will be back. The loft room easily fits four, h a kitchen, two bathrooms and a balcony overlooking the water. The hotel has movies to borrow for a relaxing night in.
Only a short ways from Langley, everything you could want is within walking distance.

My girlfriend surprised me with a trip to Whidbey Island for our one year anniversary. I had never been before and was ecstatic the whole drive up from Portland!
When we arrived in Langley, we oh-​ed and aw-​ed over how cute and quaint the town was. As we drove down the hill to the inn, our faces both lit up in smiles. The name is perfect and we personally loved the location. It felt a little rustic, but by no means was.
We were greeted by Annabet and her amazingly sweet dog, Tess. We left our dog at home this trip so seeing Tess was much welcomed. We checked-​in and they walked us to our adorable room. It was on the ground floor and the waves were practically lapping our deck during high tide. It was AMAZING. We fell asleep to the crashing little waves and woke up to seagulls chirping.
Annabet also recommended some great places in/​around Langley to see/​do, which was greatly appreciated for us out-​of-​towners.
We plan to make this a yearly tradition for us. I’m already looking forward to October 2013!

I love the Boatyard Inn. The rooms are spacious, clean, and cozy, and have amazing waterfront views! The beds are insanely comfortable. The staff is super friendly. Also, it is only a 2 minute walk to the main street in Langley. HIGHLY recommended!

Simply a wonderful place. Amazing that everyone mentions the staff as well — Annabet is awesome. Definitely recommend.

Just completed a stay at the Boatyard Inn in Langley, Wa for a night before returning to Seattle with my wife, 5 year-​old and my mother and father in-​law. Two days before our stay I received a call from the assistant manager informing me the unit we originally booked was going through some work and wanted to know if I wanted two separate units instead. I hesitantly agreed but since she offered both units for the price of the one we wanted originally it actually sounded better in the long run for my situation. It turned out exactly that way. The in-​laws had a place of their own and my family had a place of our own and both units were large with adequate furnishings, large decks, fireplaces, kitchenettes, wonderful view of the water and a little beach that my daughter enjoyed even in the rainy weather. There weren’t any other customers that night so the place was quiet and peaceful. Annabet, the assistant innkeeper was wonderfully friendly!

We took our two girls (2 and 4 years old) and rented one of the lofts (room 2) at the Boatyard Inn. It was very spacious, very clean and the people at the front desk and the housekeeping crew were very helpful and friendly. It was the dead of winter and heaters kept the room nice and warm. The loft has two bedrooms, one upstairs and one down, and two clean but small bathrooms. It was wonderful to hear the waves at night. You can easily walk a block up Wharf Street and you are right in the center of Langley. Nice, low-​key, reasonable price. We’ll be back.

This place is great during the cool months, but if it is a hot one, look out because the rooms have no a/​c from what it looked like to me. The place is huge! We had a 2 bedroom, one bedroom is downstairs but open to the kitchen and living room. Not private, FYI… The second bedroom was upstairs in a loft area which was very cool. Fireplace in living room and great decks outside. View was beautiful, but some construction was being done with a deck so it wasn’t the best. The beds are comfy, place is inviting and the lady that helped us was outstanding. The only issue we had was the steps and the beds being so high up, trying to get a handicap person into these beds and up the stairs is not happening. If you need to get into these beds and your under 5’2″ bring a step stool. lol

The Boatyard Inn has many things going for it. Great views, big rooms, lovely office staff, and a few new larger rooms to compete with Inn at Langley.
The reason I give the establishment only two stars is because the beds in the rooms are incredibly uncomfortable. I would describe them as marshmallows. The first night of our stay my husband ended up sleeping on the couch. Next day when we questioned the manager, she said «there’s a rumor that the bed in your room is uncomfortable». So we moved to another room, where the bed seemed a little firmer (I didn’t disappear into the bed as much as the first one) but it still was quite mushy. My husband ended up sleeping on the floor that night. We cut our trip short and went home. Me with neck and arm pain and don’t get me started on my husband.
BTW — the lovely office staff contacted the owners to discuss the bed issue and the female owner replied «you just have to get used to them «(the beds). That is not an adequate or professional response.
We really liked the place and are disappointed we cannot stay there anymore — because we don’t like sleeping on the floor. The office manager handled the situation as best she could — refunding a portion of our costs. But unfortunately our Anniversary Get Away was ruined.
So — the message here is fine place if sleep isn’t important to you.
