The house was lovely, clean, and comfortable. The view from the loft is great, and the price was really reasonable for all that the house offered
It was also close to Langley which offers shopping and yummy restaurants.
We loved our stay on Whidbey. The house was spacious, comfortable, and very well appointed. The beds were comfortable with nice mattresses and soft bedding. Communication with the hosts was excellent. This is one of the best places vacation homes we’ve stayed at!
Harborview Getaway is a true gem and has become our go to spot to stay on Whidbey. The house is quiet and tucked away with a beautiful view of the sound and the Olympics on a clear day. The home is comfortable, with one of the most well appointed kitchens I've ever used. The management is professional and responsive, and included many thoughtful touches to the stay.
Lots of room to enjoy this lovely home. Beautiful view from the downstairs and upstairs loft. Well stocked kitchen, thank you! We had daily visits from the local deer, so exciting to see them up close. Overall great stay!
Booked this VRBO for my son's family -- 2 adults, 1 teen, 1 almost teen, and one 6-month-old. Really convenient to the rest of the family AND a nice hideaway for them when the whole extended family got to be a bit much. Clean, comfortable, spacious - everyone's needs were met. We'll definitely be booking Harborview Getaway again.
We stayed at this property over the holiday weekend. It was great. The place was very clean and well maintained. We did cook breakfast and a few dinners during our stay. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything we needed, plus an added bonus, it had items stocked in the pantry, spices, olive oil,
We would definitely stay here again.
The house was well supplied with more than enough instructions. We appreciated the pet deer in the yard. Everything worked well except the TV in the loft. Could use some grab bars in the shower area.
This was a nice home with a great front deck and peek a boo views of the water. Beach access is just one street over and down the hill for a nice private beach. The nearest store is 10min away for that nice “in the woods” feeling, but you do see the neighbors so you aren’t by yourself out there. Wish they had a tv downstairs other than just the master bedroom, but it didn’t take away from our great time, thanks again for a great stay

Reviewer Comments:
This home is really nice. It has comfortable furniture, beautiful views, and everything we needed in the kitchen. The location is a little out of the way but it is a nice area and quiet. My family really enjoyed staying here.
Property was very clean and well-stocked. Honestly, the best stocked house I have been to with VRBO. They had all the pantry staples, as well as coffee/tea and cookware. The little extra touches were nice, like a fresh pizza in the fridge upon arrival. Two things to consider for this property; first, the front door is actually on the backside of the house (as it is pictured in the listing). We had no issue, but I wouldn't bring anyone who is mobility challenged between the gravel driveway and sidewalk to the front door. Secondly, the water view is obstructed by the houses/trees across the street. Again, not really much of an issue for us this weekend but with the neighbors doing yardwork, we didn't spend much time on the deck.
The Harborview Getaway was perfect for our small family of three ... plus our pup. The view out the windows was wonderful. The sunny days, cloudy/stormy days, sunrises, sunsets, no matter what, we enjoyed looking out at the changing skies, the snow capped mountains far in the distance, and the hawks soaring by. The house is in a very quiet small neighborhood, which was great for us. There was a short walk down to the beach ... we didn't need the key to the gate but if someone has any sort of mobility issue, I'd recommend getting the key to be able to drive down, as the walk down and back up was steep. The house was very clean and well organized. We've stayed in many vacation rentals and thought that this was the best equipped kitchen we have ever rented. We were also thrilled to see REAL sized coffee mugs!! Tiny mugs of coffee in the morning just don't make the grade! Any possible piece of kitchen equipment that we wanted we found and in good working order! The binder of information about the area; restaurants, grocery stores, state parks, beaches, gas stations, etc. was wonderfully complete. We also appreciated the user manuals for different things in the house. It is nice to be able to figure things out without a lot of effort.We had a very comfortable stay and would definitely return. Whidbey Island is just what we were looking for, we had fun exploring the south end of the island but also did take the time to visit Deception Pass State Park in the north.
We only stayed for 3 days, but we had everything we needed and enjoyed being away from the busyness of the city. We were very close to coffee, restaurants, and even the ferry. It was extra special that we could bring our two dogs with us, they loved the trip! Thank you, would definitely come back.
Lovely home in quiet location not far from a small Whidbey Island town. We did walk to the beach, but it was down hill all the way, and all then of course it was back up! The house faces west so the house gets quite warm when closed up for the day and we experienced a small issue with the portable AC but it was quickly resolved by the managing company. This home would accommodate a family or 2 couples quite well.

This home is well cared for, exceptionally clean and offers plenty of open space for natural light and enjoying the best time of year on the island. The available office / workspace was such a bonus and proximity to the beach was great!

Tara Property Management--you were excellent, with quick responses to questions and you provided an exceptionally clean property. The property itself is overseen by two homes, plus properties across the street, so there is little privacy outside. We would also prefer 100% cotton sheets, not polyester ones. Due to the lack of privacy, we probably wouldn't rent this home again and certainly would bring our own linens.
Very clean and in good condition. Kitchen was well equipped and everything was labelled. Beds were very comfortable and good washer dryer downstairs. Deck overlooks holmes harbor and Olympic mountains

Amazing home! We loved watching the deer in the yard, raccoons play and all the wildlife. The home was very comfortable and well appointed. We had everything we needed for a spectacular stay and were very impressed that all the details had been thought out so meticulously. The view was spectacular! We enjoyed our time on the island and can’t wait to visit again soon. 😊 Crabbing on the Langley dock was very exciting and fruitful 🦀
Definitely good property manager, beautiful serene place to for the views and nature. Well maintained home and well arranged on the details to use the home. Much appreciated.
Recommend central air, or at least better fans arrangement. The portable AC is an accident waiting to happen on flooding the upstairs with the dehumidifier element that needs to be disabled or well labeled to prevent.
All-in - would definitely recommend to a friend or stay there again. Thank you
