Beautiful stay on Whidbey Island
We had a great stay at this property on Whidbey. Centrally located, quiet area yet walking distance to to Captain Whidbey Inn for dinner one night. Saw seals, crab, Mt. Baker and beautiful sunsets all from the property. Wonderful spot for our family vacation!

Peaceful crafting getaway.
Cabin had beautiful views and great location for getting to lovely drives and nice trails to explore. House set up nicely for two couples with private and shared space. Kitchen needed better pans and hot tub was of no use. Needs some shelter.

Beautiful Cove View
This was a very nice place to stay. Feeling of being remote with a great view of the cove but close to Coupeville and other locations for day trips. The outside looks a little run down but the inside was absolutely beautiful and well cared for. Hot tub was amazing to sit in especially at night with a view of the water. Instructions were left for all the needs for the house during the stay. If there was one downside, it would be that you may want to bring some regular drinking cups, especially if you have kids, as there are only wine like glasses and coffee mugs to drink from. Otherwise, no complaints.

Cozy, but remote
Not being familiar with the island or the town of Coupeville, I was surprised by how remote the cabin was. It's difficult to find, especially in the dark, until you acclimate to the area. The cabin itself was cozy and comfortable, though it could have been cleaner. Note to the property manager, the instructions for the remote and coffee maker are out of date. Both were easy enough to figure out but the instructions were misleading.

A Charming Oasis of Calm
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic stay with another couple at this cottage. From the minute you drive up, it has a feeling of calm and peace. We each had a bedroom with its own bathroom, and there were many other small details to make you feel at home, including a full kitchen and washer/dryer. Best of all was the hot tub on the deck--where we enjoyed time looking at the gorgeous madrona trees and watching the harbor seal and eagles that would go by in the cove. Convenient location to many different amenities in Coupeville and on Whidbey Island. Great communication with the host throughout the process. Would definitely book again!

Weekend Getaway
Nice quiet place to stay. The hot tub was great. The place is older. The trim around the doors is unfinished wood and trim is missing around the base of the walls through most of the place. Not a huge deal, but it did give it a slightly unfinished/ not 100% clean feel. The deadbolt was hard to open. Had to try several times before we could get it to work, but once we figured it out it was no problem other than I hurt my hand a couple times opening it. Neither of those things would be deal breakers for me. I would definitely stay there again.

Cozy Cottage
I very much enjoyed my stay here. The property is full of trees and wildlife with a great view of the cove. The hot tub was a great amenity. The front bedroom bed was very comfortable but the other bed was old and saggy and could be replaced. The curtains in the front bedroom need to be more light-blocking as the morning light was diffused not at by them each day; next time I’ll be sure to bring an eye mask. The place would benefit from a more comfy couch and lounge-style deck chairs. It was very unpleasant having to take the previous renters’ garbage to the curb on Sunday evening right after I checked in that afternoon; if the housekeeping crew is already there and cleaning on a Sunday that should be their responsibility in my opinion. Also garbage cans with wheels on it would be nice as I had to drag the one can down the length of the driveway. Perfect amount of space for two couples or up to a four person family. Would love to return in the future.

Get away from hectic life
Perfect rental to feel like your isolated in the woods, but not since it’s just a short drive to downtown Coupville or back to the freeway. Quite home , great view, basic cooking amenities, comfortable and warm. Hot tub was clean and well kept.

Very Nice Stay
Very nice location, with a great view, it is a woodsy cabin feel with privacy. It has some older furnishings but it’s what we were looking for. We enjoyed the open rooms and space with two individual bathrooms off each bedroom.

loved the view
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great picture window view (northerly) of Penn Cove--very relaxing, quiet. Saw birds, seal, herons. Just a few negatives: for me, the beds were too firm and the sheets smelled of laundry fragrance. Slight smell of cleaning products in the house. (I'm sensitive to such things). Very bright night light next door.

I enjoy staying in this quaint cottage on the cove. It is family rustic but has everything needed. The lighting in the main room could be improved -a lot- but the view and location make up for that in spades. I look forward to my next visit.

Waterview Cottage
Quiet older home with a Waterview, no beach access. With some TLC the home would be even nicer. We had to go out and purchase batteries for the TV remote because they were dead and buy a spatula because the one there was melted and unusable. Parking was tight for a large pickup truck. Hot tub was nice after a day of fishing. Overall it met our needs.
