Weekend getaway

We had never been over to Whidbey island so for my birthday we decided to spend the weekend here in coupeville. We had a really nice stay, the house had everything we needed, the hot tub was great. We would definitely come back and stay again.

Nice home for our girls weekend (old lady weekend). Everything we needed in the kitchen, comfy beds and nice bathrooms. We were here in November so the big picture windows gave us great views of the stormy weather. This home is right in the middle of Whidbey Island so you can explore north or south with ease. Good communication with the host. My only disappointment was the beautiful picture showing the beach. Access to the beach was non existent. Perhaps because of our weather. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and I would certainly rent here again!

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!

Fun, cozy and relaxing

Myself and two friends stayed over a stormy weekend and had a fun cozy and relaxing time. The fireplace was a nice warm welcome and added to our evening playing games and laughing. The hot tub was nice, clean and hot. The beds were comfortable and the towels and linens clean.

Perfect weekend retreat

Loved the property! The cottage was clean and well appointed. Just rustic enough (e.g. no dishwasher and fireplace was wood burning vs gas). The hot tub was clean and perfect for sitting and reading. The picture windows had wonderful water views. There was even an eagle’s nest overhead with eaglets! My friend and I like weekend getaways to Coupeville and this location is our favorite so far! Beds are comfy too!

Coupeville Weekend

We came for a long weekend, and we had a great time! We did think the beach was easy to walk down to like the pictures imply but between the snow and ice and steep edge it was not, also the lighting in the house makes cooking a bit tough, we had to move a lamp on top of the fridge, if there were new day light bulbs in the kitchen that would have helped, all the bulbs were miss-matched and dim…All in all a great stay! Loved the town and cabins views!

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 location.

Beautiful location, stunning views of the cove. The cleanliness of the house was lacking greatly and there were a few things in disrepair. But the positive experience with the person who dropped off a pizza was a highlight. We didn’t complain about the things not working or the cleanliness because we were impressed with the hospitality. The location of the house cannot be beat though. Recommend eating at Captain Whidbey.

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.

Great place

The house was wonderful, as was the location. Very comfortable and we would definitely go back. The only downside was communications during the stay with the property management firm. Big wind storm the morning after arrival and all power on the island was lost. I called the property management firm to notify them - fully knowing there was nothing they could do. They did promise to keep in touch and update me on what they could find out about the power returning. Power was out 25 hours and the we never heard back from the property manager. Thankfully there was firewood and a fireplace. We stocked up on candles and snacks and made an adventure out of it.

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.

Great view, cozy spot but probably wouldn’t return.

Our check in was for 4pm, we arrived at 4:15 to the house still in use. The cleaner was still there, so we had to stand outside in the cold with our 1 year old daughter anxiously ready to be inside to relax. The house is very cozy, but I wouldn’t say it comes with a fully stocked kitchen, we had to go out and buy a knife that was actually sharp. We left it, so next person can use a sharp knife. No fire wood for the fire place. Had to go buy some. The listing says it has plates and things for kids, they do not. The showers and sinks were falling apart and difficult to get a safe temperature. All these things are fine, but reduces the ability to fully relax. Then upon cleaning up, we are instructed to remove the sheets and things and found a huge nasty stain on the mattress protector. The views are amazing. Hot tub was great. Just some small inconveniences that add up.

A lovely getaway for me, my mom and 2 children. The place was clean, well stocked and peaceful. Beautiful views. Didn’t use the hot tub but looked in it and it was clean and hot. Noise from the hot tub was loud, it may have been a setting that was left on. I did mention to the managers and they responded as soon as their office opened - we were leaving so wasn’t going to be an ongoing issue for us, but they said they would take a look, so what more can they do. The children and I were able to clamber down to the little water front, there is a makeshift ladder, mostly shells and rocks. Lots of crabs to see too. Nice place. Would stay again.
