location was wonderful, and the house very nicely furnished. If you need a firm mattress this may not work for you, as it was a problem for me. The mattresses had pillow tops that are very soft. Also too much furniture in the great room to move around in. I would suggest taking a few chairs out. Over all the house is greatRecommended for: Families with young children.

My friends and I stayed at this beautiful beach house for a relaxing girls' get-away week. Luxurious accommodations with views of the bay from the two master bedrooms and spectacutlar views of the Olympic Mountains and Mount Ranier from the deck set the stage for a wonderful week. The property offers a great location at the end of a quiet street with opportunities for biking or a morning walk along the lagoon as well as kayaking and walking the beautiful beach front shell hunting at low tide. There is also easy access to nearby shopping and Whidbey Island attractions like Deception Pass. The convenience of the Whidbey transit system, which covers the entire island, and the airport shuttle to and from SEA/TAC left us free from the need for car rentals. We dined at some wonderful Whidbey Island restaurants, such as Greenbank Farms, Seabolts Smokehouse and Gordon's. But with the completely furnished kitchen, we were also able to have breakfast and prepare fabulous meals "at home" such as fresh salmon on the grill. Our vacation was a perfect balance of "touristy" things to do and spending time with friends relaxing on the beach. We will definitely be back!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

My friends and I went to Whidbey and stayed at this house for 5 days. It was absolute heaven! The home was so comfortable. And, speaking of comfortable...oh my gosh, the beds were so incredibly comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked for us to make our gourmet meals. I loved that there was a grill and a fire pit for nighttime fires. The view from the deck was out of this world, and it was great to have comfortable chairs to sit on and watch the sunsets. I would totally recommend this place. It is very comfortable, clean, well stocked, and great views of the bay!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

My friends and I rented this house in June right after school let and had an amazing weekend with our kids. This listing delivers everything it promises, in fact it is better than the photos can show you. Excellent beach for beachcombing at low time and a wonderful little lagoon fills in at high tide where our kids paddled around in inflatable boats. The owners have thought of everything for your stay in the house. Very clean well stocked kitchen (coffee maker, appliances, dishes etc...). Beautful furnishings and very comfortable beds. The bunk room is fantastic for the kids! The house is located on a very quiet, dead-end street and our only regret was not bringing our bikes to ride around the charming beach community of Sunlight Beach. The owners were great to work with too and made sure the bunk room had extra mattresses for us. The whole stay was magical and we wouldn't have changed a thing about the house!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
