Gorgeous views!
Wonderful house in a peaceful neighborhood. We had deer visiting us daily. Saw eagles flying over the bay. Everything we needed to cook our St Patty's Day dinner. Plenty of space and we had the best weather to enjoy the deck. Loved it!

Family Thanksgiving
Family came in for the holiday. When we went to the house, there were spider webs and spiders over the door on the deck to enter the house. It looked unkept. The house it self is not very comfortable. Ants in the downstairs bedroom and spider/webs in all of the bedroom windows. The full bunk bed was very uncomfortable and the bed itself felt unstable when someone was on the top bunk. Bed should be replaced. Only one towel per guest forced us to do laundry. Fireplace was filthy with ashes all over and the random cabinet door that won’t stay closed was just enough to not recommend this place for future stays. I was disappointed with everything with the exception of the communication. The communication was incredible and very nice people.

Family trip
We were looking for a quick trip to Whidbey Island. This house was perfect for us (5 adults). Host was very responsive to any questions. Communication was great! The house has every thing we needed. We would stay here again.

Perfect Island Stay
Perfect location and property for family with 2 teens. Loved the views and the deer. Convenient to town. The owners were awesome at communicating. Really could not have asked for anything more. Will stay here again when we return to the island in the future.
