I have never used VRBO and began a search after a prior booking through a different site canceled a few weeks before our trip . As the adage goes, things happen for a reason and I am really happy the other party canceled. Although it took many hours of searching, I ventured onto VRBO and found this beauty!
From the initial contact to our departure, the owners, Vicky and Ole, were absolutely lovely to work with. I had the opportunity to meet Vicky and Ole while I was there and they are incredibly kind. It was nice to know if we needed something that they were available. This trip was one of my first experiences with a residence rental and it was incredibly smooth and relaxing.
The home itself is stunning, perched upon a long driveway dotted with trees. It has an amazing view of the water and the sunsets do not disappoint. The residence was immaculately clean and had everything we could need, even a pizza cutter, which was useful for our frozen pizza :-) There were enough dishes, silverware, glasses, etc., so that we did not need to run the dishwasher while we were there, only when we left. The game room included a ping pong table and it was perfect for our family vacation.
The location is about 10 minutes from the main town of Anacortes, ideal for our whale watching venture. Deception Pass Bridge is also about 5-10 minutes away. Numerous hiking trails with scenic views are also a short distance away.
I would highly recommend a stay at this wonderful home!
