Wonderful house right on the water, where high tide has you feeling like you're on a ship. Amazing sunsets, soothing wave sounds, a huge deck with hot tub and fire tables, this property is very special. House is well stocked and comfortably furnished.

Thanksgiving stay with family

The floor plan worked well for group of 7. The location was nice and views were great. The heat wouldn’t work and the lights kept going out for 20 minutes at a time. Not just flickering, but out completely. The deck fire pit didn’t work either. We enjoyed our time but were disappointed in some of the missing amenities.

Highly recommend!

This home was the perfect spot for our family of 8, with ages ranging from 8 to 73. We were thrilled to be so close to the water and loved exploring the shore or gazing at the water from the hot tub. A great home base for exploring the San Juan islands! Home was clean, well-stocked with all we needed, and comfortable. We highly recommend it!

Perfect Family Get-away

Had a wonderful week. House was beautifully appointed, beds super comfy, we had everything we needed for a family of 5 with 3 teens. New hot tub and glass fire pits were excellent. The stairs leading down to the beach are missing a rail and therefore are not for small children or those needing support, but we managed fine! The views were to die for!

Our stay was relaxing, the beds were so comfortable, we did not need anything more than what was provided. Crystal reached out to make sure everything was good, and that was appreciated. I know if we did it would have been taken care of. The views were incredible. Spotted bald eagles, a bunny, and many other birds. Would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful trip.

Simply incredible!

This property is just lovely. The scenery is unbelievable…the sea, the mountains. Having the beach so close was wonderful. Swan Lake was full of very cool birds that were so entertaining to watch. Crystal is a fantastic host and the home has everything you could ever need. The beds and pillows are extremely comfortable. There are so many spots to relax and unwind. The deck is so expansive and view is indescribable. Crystal was very responsive and offered help when we needed it. This is a must stay property on Whidbey Island.

The Perfect Getaway

Overall, this vacation rental was fantastic and is great for both couples or families. From the location, the comfortable accommodations, the expansive deck and ocean views, and sunsets in the hot tub, it was such a great experience we stayed another day! We can’t wait to stay here again. Highly recommended!

Amazing House with Amazing Views

A super amazing house with completely modern appliances and furnishings. The master bedroom even had a fireplace, remote control candles (battery operated and safe) and a sound machine to help us get to sleep easily. Expansive windows allowed for wonderful views of the water, with the feeling that you were right on the water, and even better when enjoyed from the hot tub. Great parks on the island for wonderful hiking, plus great restaurants added to our overall enjoyment.

Great Family Getaway

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our short getaway at this property! The house was very clean and well-appointed. All five of us enjoyed the fireplace, hot tub, binoculars, beach access, and proximity to stores and restaurants in Oak Harbor. Our kids are already asking when we can go back for a longer stay!

Million dollar view

What I loved about this property is the million dollar view, the comfortable beds, and Crystal’s attention and responsiveness to our needs. The host was simply fabulous! Our one disappointment that impacted our stay was the uncomfortable furniture in the living room. The seating appeared to be outdoor furniture brought indoors and with the five of us there of course we wanted to gather around the fireplace. Had we been there in the summer we would have spent more time on the huge patio outdoors, but since this was a winter stay most of our time was spent indoors. We tried to make do by bringing cushions from other areas of the house, pillows from our beds, and even a chair from another room to do our best to get comfy. I encourage the hosts to get new seating in the living room that is comfortable and supportive, and then I’d give this property a perfect score!
