This rental property is exactly as advertised: clean and well maintained, short walk to Coupeville and the beach, and convenient to many of the island's attractions. The owner was easy to work with and flexible with her rules (let us check out late since no one coming in that day). Stairs might be a problem for some since they are steep and narrow and are a challenge if you need to make a bathroom run in the middle of the night. Overall, we loved the place and would have rated it excellent except for the single bathroom that had to serve 6 of us.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, sightseeing.

We stayed at this lovely home while we were in Coupeville for a horse show. The minute we walked in the door the house felt clean, light and airy. After long days at the show it was so nice to come back to the house to relax and unwind. My kids, ages 9 & 11 LOVED their room - the ceiling stars were the best!! The location is ideal and it is an easy walk into town for dinner and sightseeing. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back next year!! Thank you so much!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We rented this home for a getaway with family visiting from the east coast. It was perfect for all of us (4 adults and 2 children). The home was spacious, clean, quiet, inviting and comfortable. We adored exploring historic and quaint Coupeville- and had quite possibly the best mussels ever! It was a perfect seaside retreat for all of us from busy city life. The owner was super nice, accommodating and informative. We all just absolutely loved staying in this beautiful, charming home, and will definitely be back for another stay!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Our stay was very pleasant. The owners were very accommodating and accessible. The home is clean, very roomy, airy and comfortable. It faces a fairly busy front street. Views of the water are best seen from the upper bedroom. During one of the evenings around 10:30-11:30 the sky was very active with military jets flying overhead, passing approx.every minute. It was very loud and distracting. Our stay was during the week, perhaps this excercise doesn't occur on the weekend. We did not experience that same intensity of noise the following evening. Coupeville is a very quaint beautiful town with cute shops, and a great boardwalk.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: So pleased you enjoyed your stay. We think the home is very charming and comfortable as well- and how can you best Cuoeville. Sorry to hear about the plane noise, that is just so strange as we have never experienced anything like that. Must have been some strange fluke. We hope to have you back again soon and glad we could make your vacation that much better

My family, including two small children, stayed at this house for two nights in June. The owner was accommodating of our arrival schedule and provided lots of great information about the house and the central Whidbey area. We felt immediately at home in this very comfortable and charming house. The kitchen is nicely updated and is a great space for making meals and hanging out with the family. We spent lots of time playing with the kids in the backyard, and it's an easy walk to downtown Coupeville for coffee, meals and shopping. We also went to the Saturday farmers' market just a few blocks away. We will almost certainly stay here again when we are visiting Whidbey.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

The house is very much as shown in the ad, it was clean, bright, and there was plenty of space for 6 adults and 3 infants. All of the rooms are fairly large, which was nice for our group. We cooked and used the grill on the back deck, the kitchen is well supplied. There is one bathroom with a claw foot tub, off of the kitchen. It's located on a residential street a short walk to the wharf and ice cream shop. We enjoyed going to Ebey's Landing and Useless Bay for beach walks. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the house to others.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

Found the house to be clean, comfortable, and very charming. We picked it for location so we could walk to the Front Street shops and restaurants with our toddler. The house was very spacious for our small family, and the owners made us feel welcome both in our conversations and through the preparation of the house for guests. It is an old, historic house, but is well-maintained and feels warm and fresh. A great place to relax during our short Whidbey vacation.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We had a wonderful weekend In the Hesselgrave House. It was very comfortable, and has a great kitchen for preparing meals as a group. The view from the sitting room is great, and it was nice to be able to relax and enjoy the island from that spot. The beds are very comfortable, and it is so peaceful. You are sure to get some well deserved rest and relaxation in this charming and cozy home.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Eight of us (four couples, plus one dog) had a fantastic New Years' weekend at this lovely house in Coupeville. The house is right in the heart of the cute town of Coupeville, just a block from the waterfront trail and a few blocks from the shops and restaurants downtown. The house is larger than it looks in the pictures, and was surprisingly comfortable even for our large group. It's very nicely decorated, with a subtle, sophisticated, non-kitschy beach-y ambiance. There's apparently been quite a bit of repainting, refurnishing etc. since the pictures on this website were taken -- we were already looking forward to our stay based on the pictures but were nicely surprised by the improvements. There are two bedrooms upstairs -- one with a full-size bed and a twin-sized bed and the other with one queen size bed -- and one bedroom downstairs. All of the beds were very comfortable. The owner left an air mattress and extra bedding for our fourth couple, which we set up in the living room after moving the coffee table. Worked great. As we are all avid cooks and enjoy a good meal, we appreciated the well-appointed kitchen. It was large enough for several cooks, the appliances were quality, and the cabinets were stocked with enough dishes/glassware for all eight of us as well as cookware and serving dishes. Dining room is large with a big table; there is a smaller second table in the kitchen breakfast nook. The living room is also spacious, with two couches and a big wing-back chair and ottoman. The owners were pleasant and helpful via phone and text and very kindly provided sparkling wine and snacks as well as a folder of information on Coupeville. We had a great time and will definitely be back -- we are already planning our next stay!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Owner info
About the owner: My famliy and I are originally from Florida and are naturally drawn to the water and boating. But the spectacular beauty of WA, has us hooked. Coupeville and our home speaks to these two very different settings-to be able to have water views and go boating under the backdrop of the Olympic and Cascade Mountains is truly stunning. We love all the outdoor activities Whidbey Island has to offer, but even more the family memories we have made just relaxing in our home.
Why the Owner Chose Coupeville:
We chose Coupeville for its charm and seaside feel. My husband grew up in coastal CT and the town itself really reflects this past. To feel so far away, yet only an hour and half from downtwon Seattle was also a big draw for us. We love Ebey's Landing and think Deception Pass is one of the prettiest places we have ever seen.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Our home is 2 blocks from historic downtown Coupeville, allowing us convenience, yet the home itself is so quaint and hsitoric we feel miles from anywhere, like we have stepped back in time. The access to the boat ramp and public park across the street have been very helpful. We love taking our coffee and dog early in the morning down to the waterfront and strolling on the beach.
