When children are present four children can sleep in the bunk room and an extra one or two can sleep on the sofa or blow up mattress.

This home is located in Admiral's Cove and is part of a private community just minutes from the Keystone Ferry and approximately 30 minutes from the Clinton Ferry. We are a few minutes drive to Coupeville where you can get groceries or rent a movie and about 20 minutes to Oak Harbor. Only a handful of homes are along Keystone Avenue, which makes it very quiet and safe.
A semi-private lake directly off the back yard and views of Puget Sound and the mountains to the west make this a true beach house!

**There is a military base on the island and they do fly over the house during practice runs occasionally. We have no control over this and do not know their schedule. It is random and infrequent but does occur. Since we have no control over this or warning we can't refund money if this does happen.

Wonderful family vacation spot!

We rented this adorable house for 5 nights. It was our family of 3 and our friend's family of 5, all kids were preteen and teens, and it was terrific! The kids could hang out downstairs, or walk down the road to the pool and playground, or take the boats out, all safely on their own. There was plenty of space to be together and plenty of places to find some alone time here. Coupeville is a great home base to explore the San Juans from. This house is very close to the ferry that takes you to Port Townsend, another lovely town! Our favorite memories are all of us sitting around the bonfire in the backyard after a very fun day and a delicious fresh from the farmer's market dinner!! This house is awesome-comfortable, well stocked and well laid out. The owner was very friendly and helpful and called me personally to make the booking. We definitely had a great vacation here! Kids were happy and we were too!! We will be back!! Sincere thanks-the Cameron family

We stayed over spring break and shared the house with another family and our dogs. The home was very comfortable for all of us. We loved the extra room in the basement for the kids to enjoy their own time, while we enjoyed adult conversation upstairs. We especially enjoyed the little lookout at the top and spent quite a while looking through the binoculars provided! Access to the beach was easy! We want to go back in warmer weather so the kids can enjoy the nearby swimming pool. What a great location!

Breathtaking views and a "special place" to spend time with loved ones!

I've always known that the San Juan Islands were a special place but what I discovered was that little ole Coupville was one of the places that helps create the magic and myth. I stayed at this home 4 times and have always been very satisfied with the experience. Tucked between the Straits of Juan de Fuca and a small lake where the local fowl frollick and call home, the experience and panaramic views make for a great time away. Whether you go to just stroll the rock beaches, bike, kayak or sightsee, this home offers comfort, technology and access to everything Whidbey Island has to offer. As a bonus, Coupeville is a real treat for lovers of good foods with affordable wine lists! The home has 2 large bedrooms up with a very large living area for cooking, lounging or tanning on the back deck. The downstairs has 1 bedroom with 2 bunkbeds for the kids. All rooms are clean and comfortable. It has a nice homey feel. The kitchen is well stocked for those who want to eat in and in the summers, the back deck is a bar-B-que delight!
