Island Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Well appointed, gorgeous views, good location, quiet neighborhood filled with rabbits and deer. With two master suites and 3 additional bedrooms everyone had their own spaces to relax and have privacy. Our vacation was two families with two pets. The yard is fenced with beautiful views and sunsets. A safe haven for pets and children. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with all of your necessities. We cooked breakfast and dinners every night for 7 days. The home is large with gathering places both upstairs and downstairs with two large decks for coffee or wine. We watched eagles almost every evening light in the trees in the yard....spectacular! We would highly recommend this home for families. There were 8 of us but the home could easily have accommodated more guests. The home was very clean and extra towels were provided. The home is close to Langley, Freeland and several great beaches. The management is very customer focused and very responsive should there be a need. We will definitely be back

Whidbey Island Family Week

The property was very functional and the beds were great! We ran into a little problem with access to the utility room but that was quickly resolved. The only minor complaint was that the beach was not particularly friendly for our toddlers and we ended up driving to Double Bluff.

Lovely Home for Family Gatherings

This property worked perfectly for our small family reunion. There were 9 of us. We all had comfortable sleeping arrangements, quiet space, and places to gather. The large kitchen was very well stocked for a family that loves to cook. We would definitely stay here again.

Fun for nine and a dog at 256 Harbor View Haven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This great big house with five good-sized bedrooms and three baths plus a gigantic well furnished kitchen worked so beautifully for five adults and four children aged 6-14, and Buddy the dog for four nights. There were plenty of activities for all. The beach, beautiful but small, near the property lacked allure for the kids so we went to Double Bluff Beach not so long a drive away. The tide was out most of the days; so the beach combing and clamming were excellent. We also enjoyed the Farmers Market in Bayview. The grandparents had a lovely afternoon exploring Langley. The kids had a great time picking delicious blackberries in the neighborhood plus a good swim at Goss Lake Thank you to the helpful folks at Tara.

ROOMY HOME IRTH A GREAT VIEW.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 11, from toddlers to teens, had a great time at the house. It was comfortable and especially had a great kitchen open floor plan to the living room. Our only complaint is tha the photos looked like it was on the water with a bench. The beach in the photos is acttually a short drive away. There are other state park beaches fairly close, so we ended up having good beach time with the kids.This is on the water but at the top of a fenced cliff. Nice views though. By the end of the week we appreciated the fenced yard so the toddlers could play outside without danger of water access.. Another plus: lots of staples in the cabinets, like olive oils and vinegars and hot sauces. We needed a few air mattresses to accommodate our older tall teens, and the managers supplied one. All queen/full sized beds for adults on the second floor - Not perfect for our tall family couples. The management company was a dream. All local people, I think they came over three times to tweak little things llike the internet acess, Super responsive and totally pleasant. I would certainly rent from them again. A pleasure to be talking to someone local when there is any issue. I cannot say enough how great they were. (We also vote for a few blankets in the TV area. )

Comments

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Found a couple of items that present a safety risk that you may want to look into. The coffee pot does not shut off automatically as most modern versions do. We accidentally left it on twice. It presents a fire hazard since most expect coffee pots to turn off now. The toaster is extremely old and is all metal and gets hotter on the outside than any toaster I have used in 20 years. It has melted plastic all over the outside from things getting too close. It gets hot enough to burn a child for sure. Both are work fine, but seem like they present a liability to the owners. Vacationers are not always careful. Thought you might want to know.

Wonderful Family Gathering Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such a nice experience with Harbor View Haven. It does a a beautiful view that is enjoyed both outside and inside. The property was clean and well maintained. Everyone at Tara was so friendly and thoughtful too. Our group of 11, 3 children, were very comfortable. There is much to do around this location but we were thrilled to have the beach close, the yard, and even a player piano to enjoy without travel. I must say the piano was amazing and found our children and adults singing Putt'n on the Ritz and other oldies. What fun! Thank you Tara Vacation for a wonderful family memory.
