Something to note is the game room with loft(queen bedroom and pullout) is very detached so we did not use it as much as we hoped. The stairs down to the beach are a bit sketchy- not great for older people. Hot tub was a bit on the green side/not the cleanest home we have stayed in. With all that being said, we would definitely stay here again just for the views. Close to lots of things to do as well-fort Casey, Clinton, blue fox drive in. ##### Kendal M.

It has everything you could want regardless of weather...a nice big deck, access to the beach, hot tub and game room. Door handle is tricky and you have to light the grill and fire pit by hand, but other than those quirks this was a great experience. ##### Lara S.

The view was gorgeous! The only thing that was a little bit inconvenient was there was no hot water in the apartment above the garage, but when we reached out to the manager they got someone out to work on it within a few hours and got it fixed right up! The responses back to us for any issues was very quick. The location was great, a 10 to 15 min ride to town. We all had a nice stay and the beds were very comfortable. Be careful walking down to the beach though because the stairs can get very slick, as we found out when my husband slipped and fell down. He was fine though! Thanks for the stay! ##### Nicole B.

Everyone loved it, and it really felt like a RETREAT! On our last evening a pod of orcas went by, putting our Whale Sighting Network Staff into an excited flurry of action to share the whale report, so fun to see them in action!

The ages ranged from 5 to 67 and no one was ever bored.The location had spectacular views and the neighborhood was quiet. The beach was nice and we enjoyed it, but getting there might not be feasible for everyone. The game room was a big hit with everyone and the Legos and toys were also great. The property was clean with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. I would recommend bringing air freshener. The main bathroom had a lingering odor and the guesthouse was a little musty until aired out. Also the ice maker quit working one day but started working again after we bought ice. Overall, it was a fantastic place and we all agreed we would love to return someday ##### Jean P. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Hana T. Jun 29, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Beautiful views, house needs lots of maintenance, plus all the house water tastes/smells like blood. We are enjoying this property and love the location but have identified the most concerning maintenance issues (there was more maintenance needed but small in comparison) that we did not expect to encounter at the price paid to rent this property, and have listed them below: The domestic water has high metallic(?) content and smells like blood Fridge water filter is red and states it needs to be replaced, which is important since the water smells and tastes like blood Faceplate on fridge is very loose Hot tub water green Hot tub cover bar bent, and rope used to help pull it up broke Middle blind in master bed room broke Sinks in main house bathrooms barely drain and they need the stoppers to pull up to drain Cupboard knob for lazy-susan cabinet falls off Kitchen sink Insta heat valve handle is not connected but is loosely set on top Various light bulbs are burnt out Dishwasher strainer is very dirty and gross We spent a lot of money and feel the pictures were not all correct. ##### Hana T.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here for five nights over July 4th - my husband and I and six young adults. The house was perfect for our large group - in the main house, a bunk room with three singles; a lovely king suite; and a room with a queen bed under the eaves with an incredible water view. In the "guest house" there is another queen bedroom and a pull-out couch that could be used for a few more guests. The deck with hot tub is a dream. We spent most of our time lounging there, reading, sitting around the fire-pit, and barbecuing on the fabulous grill. The kitchen is also very well stocked with plates, cups, silverware etc. for a large group. They could use a few more baking sheets and such, but overall an amazing kitchen. The property was mostly clean, although the windows had a lot of streaks and there were a few cobwebs on the lamps and such. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. There was a large supply of towels in the excellent laundry room. There were a couple of mechanical issues, such as the handle on the door to the back deck, which was loose and kept falling off, but I trust this will be repaired for the next guest. South Whidbey State Park is within easy walking distance, either by the beach or along the road. We enjoyed visiting Greenback Farms and bringing back fresh pie! Watch your step on the walkway down to the beach - it needs a bit more maintenance, but once you get down there it is lovely. Eagles were nesting close by and we saw them fly past the deck many times a day - breathtaking! ##### Adina M.

Reviewer Comments: This house was fantastic - remote enough to feel far away from everything while within easy travelling distance of most spots on the island. The views from the deck are amazing. The house was well-furnished and clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The game room is awesome. Interactions with the management company were friendly and easy as well. I highly recommend! ##### Elliott B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zachary J.

Walks on the beach, competitive air hockey and drinks by the fire on the deck at night, what’s not to like! I would definitely recommend this property and can’t wait to come back next year!! ##### Zachary J. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacquie F., Wisconsin Jun 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our Second Family Vacation at Barranco Our family of 10 (ages 12 to 82) stayed here 2 years ago and were all anxious to return. This property overlooks Puget Sound and the large deck and windows provide gorgeous views of the water and Olympic mountains, vessels and cruise ships that pass by, and bald eagles nesting in the trees. This year we also saw 3 orcas swimming offshore. The younger family members enjoyed the shore area and kayaking. It is peaceful and quiet as you are isolated from neighboring properties. A few minor complaints: the obvious mailbox coming in STILL shows the number 4058 instead of 4070, and the long driveway has not been improved. The deck had plants growing through the floors and broken gate. The steps going to the beach had not been improved, but our younger family members still enjoyed the shore at low tide and did some kayaking. (One son-in-law tried to clean up the overgrown weeds a bit. Another son-in-law fixed the loose faucet in the kitchen.) The home has nice furnishings and the internet is great, but it is beginning to look like it needs some TLC. The kitchen is well equipped but has hit and miss pan sizes and utensils, and the broiler in the oven didn't work. The ice maker still provided surprises for us, the locks are quirky, and some light bulbs need replacing. These are all minor complaints leading us to believe the owners don't spend time there. Would we come back here again? Probably, because we love this island and the quiet location. ##### Jacquie F.
