The house was so well laid out, with views out to the Strait of Juan De Fuca. Quiet, beach walk from house. We stayed over the New Years Holiday. Warm and cozy.

First vacation after 30 years with children!

My husband and I were so excited to finally have a vacation without our children or grandchildren. We booked this house based on information online and was not disappointed! The view was spectacular and we had easy access to and from the surrounding areas. I only wish we could have had a laundry room to use but all in all it was a very memorable vacation.

Nice place with beautiful views

We enjoyed our stay at this property, however there were some things that we weren’t happy with. We could not get the fireplace to work, the living room furniture was terribly terribly uncomfortable and the TV was very hard to figure out! The thing that makes this place worth staying at is the location and amazing views. The view made the other things tolerable.

Owner saves the vacation

I parked in the wrong spot and the owner came knocking at our door the next morning. She fixed the tv confusion we were having, washed the windows ( salt water does a number on glass) and rinsed my car. The view is awesome. I should have brought my kites as the wind blows nicely.

Wonderful Mother's Day weekend getaway

My mom, sister, and I love to escape to the Puget Sound for Mom's Day weekend. This was one of the best properties we've stayed at. Great location, gorgeous views, beach access, nicely appointed unit, quiet setting...just lovely! Our only downsides were (1) I could have sworn the hot tub would be available when I booked, only to see a while later that it's only available after Memorial Day--so that was disappointing to us!, (2) the trundle bed is not nearly as comfortable as the main bed--I'd suggest some padding on the bed!, and (3) the bathroom is a bit small for three. Otherwise, everything was perfect!

Property was not properly depicted in pictures

Property showed that there was a hot tub, failed to mention that the hot tub was empty. Visited the property with my family of 4, looking forward to the fact that we could all sit out on the deck and enjoy the ocean. Unfortunately they had put the furniture away for the season so there was only seating for 2. We asked the property manager if it might be possible to get a few more chairs so we could enjoy the deck a a family however the property owner was not interested in bringing anything out. Lesson learner, ask questions, do not book your stay off pictures. Other than that it was a great home. Great location.

Nice property, but lacking advertised features

This was a well decorated beachfront property that looked fabulous online, but discovered that advertised washer and dryer were locked in a closet and not accessible. Likewise Internet and TV were non-accessible. A prior renter had pulled out a dead battery from the smoke alarm apparently because it was chirping/beeping and left it on a door trim…but management never replaced the battery. Likewise battery-run clocks in the living room and kitchen had dead batteries and were non-functional. The coffee filters in the cabinet were for a different coffee maker. Icing room carpet was also pretty dirty and needed a cleaning. It would have been a nice stay but these items really negatively impacted our stay.

Great beach front property!

We had a great couple nights here. The patio is amazing to watch the sunset. The propane standup fire pit was a real nice surprise. The hot tub worked great as well. Reasonable distance to really anywhere you’d want to go on the island. Awesome place to get away and relax. Would definitely return. Complaints are the guy mowing lawn and blowing crap around at 830am! Crappy wine glasses for the expensive wine we brought. Water pressure and shower aren’t great. Place has a real musty smell when you come in. We immediately opened all windows, of which there are very few that open. There is no way to open a window so you can lay in bed and hear the ocean. Could use measuring spoons and a pizza cutter as far as kitchen utensils go. No ice cube trays in freezer so you have to buy ice from store. No full length mirror for getting ready. Overall just little things but would be helpful next time. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Our family had a wonderful time at this property.There was a meteor shower the first night and it was pure magic to watch shooting stars over the water from the deck. Our first overnight outing with our 5 year old grandson!! He was so excited to stay up late to see all the stars. The next night we watched a beautiful sunset too. Really a special get away at the beach with big waves and lots of rocks to collect on the beach while the tide was out. Great water views and a quiet enclave of homes that was easy to get to from the ferry and nearby communities. The property is well maintained and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.Having an extra twin bed in the bedroom was perfect, so he did not have to sleep in another room. There is a pullout bed in the living room that would work for older kids. We hope to go again next summer! We also enjoyed seeing Navy jets, Coupeville waterfront and Camp Casey on our trip, We loved everything about being on Whidbey Island including how close it is to home.So happy to find a great place to stay!

Open expansive ocean views

The appealing entry opens to a wall of windows and incredible views. Sunset is the best experience of the day which extends into the evening with colorful twilight views visible from the bedroom - pretty special. Wonderful, long beachfront walk with glacial till walls along the shore. Fantastic, quiet retreat makes this place memorable.

Broken amenities

I stayed here last year and the top three things that brought me back were 1. Location 2. Watching sunset from the hot tub every night 3. Enjoying the deck with the fire pit at night. The Hot tub was broken. Called management and someone came out and said it’s been broken for awhile. Fire pit was not working, said it was broken. The Title of this listing has “with hot tub” in it. They should have informed us prior to our stay that these items weren’t working. There are many rentals with a great location we could have gone to but I wanted the experiences of the hottub and fire pit for three nights as I had last year. VERY DISAPPOINTING. Also when we called within an hour of getting there ( because we checked right away on hot tub) they sent someone the next day and while she called her manager, she (the manager) said well it’s broken what do they want us to do. She was very rude. We own a rental and I would want to know about this. Hopefully the owners will see this and address the broken items and offer some sort of a refund. If the items listed in the description are in working order, then this place is worth it, but when there are only a few amenities listed, they need to be in working order.
