Gorgeous House

The window layout in this house is amazing and gives you a perfect view of the water and mountains. The wild bunnies were also a favorite of our daughter. The kitchen was fantastic!! It had everything one would need to cook there. Beds were so comfortable (even the twins!) And it was just a great experience.

Great weekend getaway for family of 5

We took a weekend trip to Whidbey for our family of 5. I booked this mostly for the water views. The views were better than expected. The house was well kept and had plenty of amenities. Will book again the next time we want to come to Whidbey Island.

Beautiful view, comfy- some stuff didn't work

10/10 for the view. Comfortable beds. Beautiful home. Amazing kitchen and outdoor dining. Downsides: the fireplace did not have any gas, the spa was cloudy from being overchlorinated, and the dial on the dryer was broken.

Perfect place to enjoy Oak Harbor

Beautiful well stocked split level home -with toys for preschoolers even- with a majestic view. Stay once and you will want to return. Comfortable living areas and primary bedroom, very workable kitchen. Dining table for six. Lots of linens, cookware. Stunning views with lots of wild life to enjoy.

Amazing view and wildlife in the yard every day.

The house was clean and ready with early checkin. Everything was great except for the hot tub not having the chemicals balanced and the water was yellow. Contacted them as soon as we saw it and they came out and fixed it the next morning. The view from the hot tub was amazing and just like shown. There were always bunnies in the yard and deer multiple times a day.

Great location and plenty of space!

We really enjoyed our time in this house, but there a few small things that could have made it even better. This house has plenty of space for my party and the layout is very comfortable. The location is very nicely situated in a quiet area, but do be aware that because of the naval base you will hear planes sometimes (they didn't bother us). When we were there it was very hot, and there was little to no breeze outside. The house doesn't have ac unfortunately but a good number of fans were provided. Nonetheless - due to the really hot weather ac would have been nice. The kitchen is really large and the eating area is lovely. A few small things were missing from the kitchen that we thought might be there, such as aluminum foil, napkins, plastic wrap. But the appliances are all good and we were easily able to enjoy all our meal after adjusting. The bedrooms were all big enough for us and the living areas were comfortable. Lots of parking in the driveway. The floor was unfortunately not clean when we got there and we had to do some sweeping. I reported this in and was offered to have somebody come out and clean for us (which I thought was great service), but since we had already swept I declined the offer. All in all, we had a fantastic time.

Great vacation home. Would definitely come back again.

Home was perfect for our family and had all the amenities we needed. Only recommendation would be to check septic tank. Had a bad smell in lower part of the house a few mornings. Might want to also check the pump on hot tub, could hear it run a lot when not in use and no settings were changed on it.

Sisters trip

We had a wonderful stay! It’s a great house, though not without issues. One was being awakened at 5:30 by some sort of alarm. Finally found the problem in the garage. Even after having a service tech come out we still had Wi-Fi problems, especially with the tv. Overall, it was an amazing weekend and the views are incredible!

Thanksgiving Family Visit

We enjoyed the house and the beautiful views. Cozy fireplace, beautiful accommodating kitchen. Hot tub was supposed to be a perk to house rental but we were Disappointed with hot tub, greenish and cloudy not clean so no one wanted to use it. Something’s weren’t as clean as you would expect to be.

Very Nice Place to Stay--- AND its haunted!

The house was great for the price. The hot tub and views are amazing. The house was clean. If you don't mind "strange feelings and ghosts" this is great. Weird noises throughout the night, very, very creaky floors, some people wrote in guestbook haunted and some pages were also torn out. Woke up to it being 48 degrees IN the house on the first night after turning on the heat to 70 the night before.

Birthday Weekend Away

Great property. Door code did not work when we got there but was able to call and get a extra key. Was clean although the hot tub was cold but we didn't use it the first night and it warmed up quickly the second night. Beautiful view and super comfy. Kitchen well stocked for all our needs.
