Beautiful Getaway

Incredible views of the Sound from the backyard and deck make this place magical. We heard all kinds of birds song, saw a pair of eagles and took many walks on the beach to soak up the salty air and listen to the waves lapping again the short with not a soul in sight.

Cozy Beach house

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: We thoroughly enjoyed spending a quiet weekend at this quaint house on Whidbey. It was a very quiet and relaxing atmosphere and we loved being so close to the beach and how private it was. This home may feel a bit cramped if you have a larger family but it was the perfect size for me, my husband, and our 2 dogs.

Perfect solo retreat

This place was the perfect cabin for a week of relaxing alone. The cabin is super adorable, cozy and has beautiful views of the Olympic peninsula. I only used the downstairs since i was traveling alone. Everything was very clean and the kitchen has everything you might need, including a coffee bean grinder. The location is in a cute little community. I was there off-season, so i didn’t see many other people around. It’s also the perfect jumping off point for all of the places you might want to visit on Whidbey Island. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the cabin and on the Island.

Great spot

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin with a lovely view. Great access to the beach down the stairs. Be advised the stairs to the loft are quite steep, so might be challenging for some to get upstairs if you need the extra beds. Recommend.

Quaint and Quiet

The place is quaint (fits two people well but may be a bit snug with any other adults). The location is beautiful and private. Neighbours are not too close and all very kind. The ocean is quite cold so we didn't swim or do much paddle boarding. We spent more time exploring the historic towns nearby. Coupeville and Langley are awesome. The cottage is older and is becoming a little run down (kitchen and bathroom may need a renovation soon). Overall, a lovely stay.

Almost Magical

My family stayed at this cabin at the end of July. It was clean, comfortable and as described. The location of this cabin is so beautiful and peaceful. Our family had a great time there! The only issue that we had is that a few aspects of the cabin were a bit rundown. The sofa in the living room is old and beaten up. It should really be replaced. The kitchen counter is showing a lot of wear around the sink and is kind of looking gross. While we were there, the dryer stopped working. The management company was super responsive, and I know that the dryer has been replaced now. If those other problems are addressed, this place would be absolutely perfect!

Wonderful lake cabin

We loved our stay on Whidbey Island. The cabin had ample options for seating outside, which had a great view of the ocean. We all loved going to the beach, which was only a few minutes' walk down the stairs. There was plenty of area for our teenage girls to explore. Would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful location, not so beautiful or clean inside.

Location, location, location! Other than that… this place has not seen any TLC in a VERY long time. Tub/shower has not been more than wiped out all season( I used to clean houses). I dropped my phone under sofa. Books/ brochures weird.. can catch up on anything pre-covid or early ‘90’s, can watch VCR tapes if they had a VCR. You can listen to the cassette tapes on the player. Outside is a wonderful setting, but chairs on covered part of porch are filthy, so can’t sit in shade if it’s hot out. Rest of seating is Adirondack chairs that sit right at the new decking height, so have no view when sitting in.

Great views, cabin not comfortable

The views were amazing and walk to the beach was great. We left a day early due to the foul odor in the bathroom, and lack of kitchen equipment. THe pots/pans were really shabby or cheap which made cooking a bad experience. The kitchen counter was really old, cracked, and dingy looking. THe upstairs bedrooms were accessible by a ladder basically. My daughter slept on the couch due to the steep incline. I would not have wanted any small children or elderly going up and down those stairs.

Cozy, quiet cottage

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 loved staying here 2 nights and wished we had longer. Early check in was granted and appreciated. We brought our own food so we did not have to venture out during COVID restrictions. LOVED walking on the beach! Read the fine print carefully - lots of extra resort fees on top of daily rate. Also, with so many fees, we thought it strange that we were required to strip the beds and take out the trash. All that being said, we did love our stay and would come back.

Great Location!

This is a simple, well kept cabin in a stunning location with access to the beach between Bush Point and Lagoon Point. It is cozy and very comfortable. We've rented it several times when we have an overflow of visitors at our own nearby cabin. The property manager was available and easy to communicate with.

Lovely!

The property was as described. It is a quaint cottage with just enough of everything. There is more than abundant beauty, simplicity, and ease. The house was clean, beds were comfy, and many of the towels appeared to be new. The view is spectacular. The path to the beach was estimated by my health app to be a 7 floor climb. The stairways need some work, but they are entirely serviceable. Bald eagles and great blue heron shared the beach with us. We caught red rock crab and pink salmon from the shore. All in all, a lovely respite before the start of the school year.

Beautiful view. Smell in house not pleasant, floors and table not clean, sofa completely worn out and uncomfortable, bath towels were old and stained, no mattress pad on bed. The walk to the beach is over grown, hand rail was on the ground. No real beach access except to climb over logs, etc.

We took a few walks on the beach and saw seals, crabs and a lot of eagles! The location of the rental on the island makes it a breeze to hit everything from Fort Casey all the way to Anacortes.
