Very nice stay

The owners were really nice and provided fresh fruit for us. The space is large and the kitchen has everything you need. I did not give 5 stars because the bed had a rubber mattress protector which was very uncomfortable and noisy.

Wonderful getaway

It's always a magical time visiting Whidbey Island, and Karen and Shawn's makes the visit just perfect. Beautiful view and great location. It's like going home at the end of every day, and makes it very different from going back to a hotel. I've been there a few times now and brought my fiance with me this year--he was blown away by both the Island and our lodging for the trip. A gem of a home on Whidbey!

Whidbey Island

Oak Harbor is a great location to explore the island. We weren’t at the property many hours of each day, since we wanted to go to the beaches and see the towns, Deception Pass, the Sculpture Garden and the Lighthouse. Every evening the deer and rabbits would forage on the lawn outside our unit. The unit was well equipped for making all our meals. This was particularly important for us due to severe food allergies.

Wonderful

The view, the peace and quiet and coziness of the property was everything I needed. The hosts, Karen and Shawn were so welcoming, both were always concerned about my comfort, really I felt more like family than there guest. Karen and Shawn’s property feels like a world away, yet conveniently located within minutes of shopping, sightseeing and eateries. My only regret is I did not get to take advantage of the outdoor fire pit, winter weather. I highly recommend this beautiful property to anyone looking to get away and reconnect with nature, I will be back!

Beautiful Views, Nasty Host

As promised, the views are spectacular, eagles soar outside the windows, dear graze outside the windows; also outside the windows all day long: the host's husband, walking, by peering in. The cute little fireplace pictured? Also the only source of heat which they will ask you to use sparingly when they greet you upon arrival. That may be fine for summer but not great when you've booked 2 months in the winter & it's 27° out. They also asked us to not use the brighter lights to "save money" and to only do laundry once a week & shower sparingly. If these had been eco-conscious requests, I would have understood but it was all about not costing them any money when I paid them to stay there for 2 months. Not a great start. Then we had a misunderstanding about my daughter's ESA service animal. We didn't realize we had to register the animal as staying with us. When the host realized we had a service cat with us, she flipped out, & threatened to throw us out immediately, halfway through our stay, but instead offered to charge an extra/additional cleaning fee to let us stay. We signed an agreement. A week later, we were shocked when she & her husband again came early one morning and threatened to throw us out again because, unbeknownst to us, our car had supposedly leaked a fluid on her driveway. After calling customer service to ask if this was even allowed, she retaliated by evicting us the next evening, one month early, no where to go, in the rain, with no refund! She was rude, nasty, and abusive--even telling my daughter that she (the host) didn't have time to "laze around all day in bed" like her, despite having been told of her disabilities, chronic pain & fatigue and that she was "sick of us" despite having only met us 4 times (unlike her husband whom we ran into daily). Guests beware. If you don't mind having these people peering in the windows at all times and making strange demands, then you might enjoy your stay. We, obviously, did not!

Awesome!

Our stay here was fabulous! The hosts are wonderful people. The neighbors are very friendly. It was quiet with an occasional Navy fighter jet flying by, which I love. The jets were not noisy enough to deter us from ever going back. The view! What can I say. Waking up every morning to an incredible water view was amazing. The weather was in the 70's. It was perfect!

Beautiful and Peaceful Studio

So many wonderful things I could say about Karen's lovely studio. We had many lovely mornings and evenings relaxing on the private porch, enjoying the beautiful view of the sound with a mountain backdrop. The space was just what we needed, with its open and spacious layout and full kitchen. There were lots of useful guidebooks and other helpful Whidbey Island materials thoughtfully included. Karen and Shawn were super responsive and kind. Loved every minute.

Quiet neighborhood, view of the water

The property is a large studio in the daylight basement of a house. There is a little bit of noise when the owners walk around upstairs but not much. They were very responsive to our questions/needs. The neighborhood is nice for walking and the location is central on Whidbey Island for exploring. Our primary purpose of the visit was to escape the fireworks insanity in Auburn, Washington. Although were were a few prior to the 4th and a fair amount on the 4th itself, it was nothing compared to Auburn. We enjoyed our visit and sites around Whidbey Island.

Fantastic place! Don't miss

We stayed here for a little over two months and were completely spoiled. The pictures don't do it justice - beautiful sunrises, wildlife, excellent kitchen. This is a perfect space for one or two. I also worked remotely for 2 months and had access to a desk and WiFi. Thank you so much to Shawn and Karen for their hospitality and hosting. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful views but…

After booking our stay I reached out to Karen a few weeks before arrival about extending our stay for a week. She was more than happy to accommodate, but a few days prior to arrival she asked me if we could come at least a day later and I told her I was unable to do so since plane tickets were already bought. After our arrival there were issues with the payment for the second week of our stay. Karen approached me and I was more than happy to make it right. She then stated that instead of paying we could just leave then, a whole week early. I told her that she approved our stay for the extra week and I was more than happy to pay and I could not leave because of my husbands deployment. The last night of our stay Karen came down and was asking what time I would be leaving the next day. I told her I would be leaving around 9, she then again asked if I could leave earlier because of guest coming in that day. I told her no, because of my flight time and checkout wasn’t until 11am so I was already leaving before then. I felt as if it was uncalled for to have asked multiple times if we could come late and to leave early when she approved our dates to stay. At times there was also a small lack of privacy, but the view and location are great.

Whidbey’s Best Kept secret - part 2

We just loved Shawn and Karen as our hosts. They had a new king size fire pit this year, and it was fun in every way to meet their neighbors and talk and laugh. One of the neighbors even came to our rescue when our car broke down ! Their Saratoga view is still incredible (we stayed with them last summer), the eagles whirl in the air currents, the sunsets are so beautiful, the deer and rabbits come out and near the condo most every day, boats glide by in the channels. We were so able to totally relax there, sit in the sun and shade, read, or go tour the island, discovering new restaurants and magnificent vistas. All in all, a magical place - it gets our highest rating !

Great Way to Wake Up!

The morning view was a great way to start each day. While I was fortunate enough to have great weather for most days of my stay, but even on the few cloudy days it was breathtaking. The studio apartment was the perfect place to stay during my two weeks of workshops nearby. Clean, well-appointed accommodations and helpful friendly hosts.
