Gorgeous House

The window layout in this house is amazing and gives you a perfect view of the water and mountains. The wild bunnies were also a favorite of our daughter. The kitchen was fantastic!! It had everything one would need to cook there. Beds were so comfortable (even the twins!) And it was just a great experience.

Great weekend getaway for family of 5

We took a weekend trip to Whidbey for our family of 5. I booked this mostly for the water views. The views were better than expected. The house was well kept and had plenty of amenities. Will book again the next time we want to come to Whidbey Island.

Beautiful view, comfy- some stuff didn't work

10/10 for the view. Comfortable beds. Beautiful home. Amazing kitchen and outdoor dining. Downsides: the fireplace did not have any gas, the spa was cloudy from being overchlorinated, and the dial on the dryer was broken.

Perfect place to enjoy Oak Harbor

Beautiful well stocked split level home -with toys for preschoolers even- with a majestic view. Stay once and you will want to return. Comfortable living areas and primary bedroom, very workable kitchen. Dining table for six. Lots of linens, cookware. Stunning views with lots of wild life to enjoy.
