A sprawling, green backyard lawn area includes a large, stone-circle firepit. The two-level interior features beautiful flooring and recent updates throughout the space.

Relax in the living room by the warming glow of the gas fireplace while gazing out at the water or catching up with your favorite shows and movies on the flatscreen TV.

    We had a wonderful stay! It’s a great house, though not without issues. One was being awakened at 5:30 by some sort of alarm. Finally found the problem in the garage. Even after having a service tech come out we still had Wi-Fi problems, especially with the tv. Overall, it was an amazing weekend and the views are incredible!

    Thanksgiving Family Visit
    We enjoyed the house and the beautiful views. Cozy fireplace, beautiful accommodating kitchen. Hot tub was supposed to be a perk to house rental but we were Disappointed with hot tub, greenish and cloudy not clean so no one wanted to use it. Something’s weren’t as clean as you would expect to be.

    Birthday Weekend Away
    Great property. Door code did not work when we got there but was able to call and get a extra key. Was clean although the hot tub was cold but we didn't use it the first night and it warmed up quickly the second night. Beautiful view and super comfy. Kitchen well stocked for all our needs.

    Entry Frustration & Housekeeping Glitch
    Property has a nice view of the water, beautiful sunrises, and is in a good location on the island. Beds were comfortable, and the house is well equipped. Our stay started with much difficulty in using the lock on the front door. The keypad either didn't work, or we weren't given enough information on its use. We had to call management to obtain a pin for the key lock box. When we got into the house, we found that no cleaning had been done since the last renter left. There were dirty sheets and towels in the bedroom, dirty dishes in the cupboards and dishwasher, full waste baskets, dirty water in the hot tub, crumbs on the dining table & dead bugs on the window sill. We called management, and they sent a cleaning team to do the essentials, but we told them not to send another team the next day, as we didn't want any more disruptions in our stay. The personnel tried to help us understand the heating system, but could not, and there were no written instructions. We had one older, unsteady person in our group, and he could not use the upstairs smaller bath, as there was no grab bar in the tub/shower. Also, for safety, there needs to be a railing leading down from the front door to the driveway. The property would be more attractive & usable if weeds were pulled in the front and shrubs were trimmed to allow easier walking down the front steps. With more attention to cleaning and safety, this would be a much more desirable rental.

    Gorgeous View
    This house has amazing views! The kitchen was great, and overall it was a nice place to stay. I don’t think they had done yard work in a while as there were thorny weeds growing out of the stairs leading to the front door. There were a few things worn out, and needed replacement. The water seemed a little rusty during our stay. We enjoyed our few nights there. Loved Whidbey Island!
