Great for a family gathering!

We had a great time here celebrating my Mom’s 80th birthday. Each of 3 generations enjoyed the house for various reasons. The games room was a huge hit with all of us, as was the relaxing home and view, plus the fully stocked kitchen and entertainment options. The surrounding nature beautiful in any weather, and lots to explore in the area.

Stunning views for days

Wonderful house with an amazing view! The property had everything we needed and matched the description perfectly. The location was convenient, and the kids especially loved the game room. The management team was prompt and responsive. We would definitely book again!

Amazing family getaway

Our stay was amazing. It was like being in our own private resort with a hot tub, game room, beach walking and even open spaces we used for yoga. There was so much to do just within the property. So much fun for all ages.

Had a great stay with successful fishing!!!

Stayed for a week with our family, we all had a great time. The house was in great shape and we were able to relax on the deck and enjoy some beach time as well. Sunsets were great and we were fortunate that Pink and Coho salmon were running during our time there. We ended up catching 23 total as a group just by shore casting. Would stay here again!

Beautiful Puget Sound Retreat

This is a lovely family home with all the necessary comforts in a stunning location. Beach access is for able bodied folks only, but once you get down there, it’s a very clean and private stretch of sand. The game room was a very big plus as well.

Ladies birthday weekend getaway

Private place to ourselves with plenty of beds and seating space. Easy check in, key used to lock/unlock, gorgeous view of the Sound with sunsets on clear days. Hot tub was delightful, gas fire pits worked great, and parking fit 3-4 cars but no more.

Beautiful water views

The property manager was very kind and easy to deal with. They allowed for us to have early check-in and late checkout because it was not booked on either end of our stay which was very lovely. And the property was well-maintained and had clear directions. The beds were very firm but ended up being comfortable. The water views are delicious and the hot tub is delightful. It’s a nice layout for a group stay.

50th Wedding Anniversary with Family

Was easy to find, and was a great location. It was a little smaller then it looked in pictures online. We had plenty of room though. The game room was so much fun for all of us, it rained, but did not dampen our spirits. Lots of beach time and hot tub time. It was a wonderful weekend.

Insane view

Amazing time! The views were out of this world. Something to note is the game room with loft(queen bedroom and pullout) is very detached so we did not use it as much as we hoped. The stairs down to the beach are a bit sketchy- not great for older people. Hot tub was a bit on the green side/not the cleanest home we have stayed in. With all that being said, we would definitely stay here again just for the views. Close to lots of things to do as well-fort Casey, Clinton, blue fox drive in.

Beautiful NW vacation home!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was perfect for a large family, a few small families or a large friend group. It has everything you could want regardless of weather...a nice big deck, access to the beach, hot tub and game room. Door handle is tricky and you have to light the grill and fire pit by hand, but other than those quirks this was a great experience.

Gorgeous Spot

We really enjoyed our stay here. The view was gorgeous! The only thing that was a little bit inconvenient was there was no hot water in the apartment above the garage, but when we reached out to the manager they got someone out to work on it within a few hours and got it fixed right up! The responses back to us for any issues was very quick. The location was great, a 10 to 15 min ride to town. We all had a nice stay and the beds were very comfortable. Be careful walking down to the beach though because the stairs can get very slick, as we found out when my husband slipped and fell down. He was fine though! Thanks for the stay!

Orca Network Staff Retreat

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: A WONDERFUL house and view to spend two days planning and getting to know each other in a beautiful, relaxing setting that housed our whole crew. Everyone loved it, and it really felt like a RETREAT! On our last evening a pod of orcas went by, putting our Whale Sighting Network Staff into an excited flurry of action to share the whale report, so fun to see them in action! This was the perfect spot for us to gather and plan the future of our Nonprofit, and get to know each other better.

A wonderful place for a family gathering

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This was a wonderful place for an extended family (13) to gather over a family wedding weekend. It was an easy 20 minute drive to the wedding venue (Fireseed Catering), the view was gorgeous (looking across the water to the Olympics), it was quiet, and the layout was perfect for simultaneous card games at the dining room table, conversation and/or relaxing in the living area, and more of that on the deck. Beach walking and the game room entertained several of the crew, and a dip in the hot tub with the nearly full moon shining on the water was a great bonus. We would return to this place if an occasion came up, and we give it an enthusiastic recommendation.

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: This was a perfect rental for our three generation family vacation. The ages ranged from 5 to 67 and no one was ever bored.The location had spectacular views and the neighborhood was quiet. The beach was nice and we enjoyed it, but getting there might not be feasible for everyone. The game room was a big hit with everyone and the Legos and toys were also great. The property was clean with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. I would recommend bringing air freshener. The main bathroom had a lingering odor and the guesthouse was a little musty until aired out. Also the ice maker quit working one day but started working again after we bought ice. Overall, it was a fantastic place and we all agreed we would love to return someday

Beautiful views, house needs lots of maintenance, plus all the house water tastes/smells like blood.

We are enjoying this property and love the location but have identified the most concerning maintenance issues (there was more maintenance needed but small in comparison) that we did not expect to encounter at the price paid to rent this property, and have listed them below: The domestic water has high metallic(?) content and smells like blood Fridge water filter is red and states it needs to be replaced, which is important since the water smells and tastes like blood Faceplate on fridge is very loose Hot tub water green Hot tub cover bar bent, and rope used to help pull it up broke Middle blind in master bed room broke Sinks in main house bathrooms barely drain and they need the stoppers to pull up to drain Cupboard knob for lazy-susan cabinet falls off Kitchen sink Insta heat valve handle is not connected but is loosely set on top Various light bulbs are burnt out Dishwasher strainer is very dirty and gross We spent a lot of money and feel the pictures were not all correct.

Our Second Family Vacation at Barranco

Our family of 10 (ages 12 to 82) stayed here 2 years ago and were all anxious to return. This property overlooks Puget Sound and the large deck and windows provide gorgeous views of the water and Olympic mountains, vessels and cruise ships that pass by, and bald eagles nesting in the trees. This year we also saw 3 orcas swimming offshore. The younger family members enjoyed the shore area and kayaking. It is peaceful and quiet as you are isolated from neighboring properties. A few minor complaints: the obvious mailbox coming in STILL shows the number 4058 instead of 4070, and the long driveway has not been improved. The deck had plants growing through the floors and broken gate. The steps going to the beach had not been improved, but our younger family members still enjoyed the shore at low tide and did some kayaking. (One son-in-law tried to clean up the overgrown weeds a bit. Another son-in-law fixed the loose faucet in the kitchen.) The home has nice furnishings and the internet is great, but it is beginning to look like it needs some TLC. The kitchen is well equipped but has hit and miss pan sizes and utensils, and the broiler in the oven didn't work. The ice maker still provided surprises for us, the locks are quirky, and some light bulbs need replacing. These are all minor complaints leading us to believe the owners don't spend time there. Would we come back here again? Probably, because we love this island and the quiet location.

A Wonderful Property for a Big Group!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here for five nights over July 4th - my husband and I and six young adults. The house was perfect for our large group - in the main house, a bunk room with three singles; a lovely king suite; and a room with a queen bed under the eaves with an incredible water view. In the "guest house" there is another queen bedroom and a pull-out couch that could be used for a few more guests. The deck with hot tub is a dream. We spent most of our time lounging there, reading, sitting around the fire-pit, and barbecuing on the fabulous grill. The kitchen is also very well stocked with plates, cups, silverware etc. for a large group. They could use a few more baking sheets and such, but overall an amazing kitchen. The property was mostly clean, although the windows had a lot of streaks and there were a few cobwebs on the lamps and such. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. There was a large supply of towels in the excellent laundry room. There were a couple of mechanical issues, such as the handle on the door to the back deck, which was loose and kept falling off, but I trust this will be repaired for the next guest. South Whidbey State Park is within easy walking distance, either by the beach or along the road. We enjoyed visiting Greenback Farms and bringing back fresh pie! Watch your step on the walkway down to the beach - it needs a bit more maintenance, but once you get down there it is lovely. Eagles were nesting close by and we saw them fly past the deck many times a day - breathtaking!
