We have stayed in many vacation homes over the past twenty years, and this home is without question our favorite. Our family has gathered here four times so far, and each time has been magic. Everything about this wonderful house is perfect, from the moment one walks through the door, "Welcome To Our Home" envelopes you, like a warm hug. Immediately you sense this cottage has been put together with a great deal of love. Every room, nook and cranny has been thoughtfully laid out, with no detail overlooked.
You will have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Beginning with the kitchen which is well equipped with plenty of dishes, utensils, pots & pans, and good appliances. Your family can cook wonderful meals and enjoy them together at the large dinning table, while enjoying an amazing view of the Sound.
The living room is comfortable with a large couch to stretch out on, and watch TV or just hang out. The owners have provided plenty of games to play, and a nice choice of books to read, so you will never be board here.
The view is fabulous! From the dinning room, across the living room you can watch the Sound all day. There are giant cargo ships that go by several times a day, as well as tug boats, Naval ships, and a Ferry boat now and then. You never know just what you might see here, the beautiful Sound is always full of activity. This also includes an incredible verity of wildlife, which includes Bald Eagles, Seals, Herons, Otters, Whales, Geese, Gulls, and many others, we even spotted a Comeraunt which is very rare.
The beds here are very comfortable, we slept wonderfully each night. There are plenty of blankets to keep you warm on those cold winter nights, and nice soft pillows too. The bedrooms are cozy to say the least, nicely decorated, and inviting. I must save the best for last however, and that is the Master Suite upstairs. It is like walking into a dream. There is a huge king sleigh bed surrounded by floor to ceiling windows. The room is ample with lots of room to move around. The truly wonderful feature is the absolutely fabulous view! We could never get enough of it.
You can see all across the Sound with an uninhibited view of the water, the Lighthouse across the Channel, the surrounding landscape, and everything taking place out there. Waking up to that each morning, and seeing it each night as you drift off to sleep, is an experience you will never forget.
So perhaps you can imagine why this home is so special, and why we love it as we do. I believe if your family visits here too, you will feel the same. One last thought; Whidbey Island has a lot of fun and interesting activities to check out during your visit. there are several great Wineries, a fun Meadery, and some funky cool shops to poke through. Also, wonderful parks and nature reserves, as well as great public beaches to enjoy. You cannot go wrong here.
