  All was as it should be when one arrives with a mixed bag of family members. The home was as it was presented and easy to find. The grill on the deck and the awesome gas kitchen stove made cooking a joy for the lot of us. From the cute play house and lookout platform , for the grand children to be on their own and still be observed from the house, to the quiet back yard to get away from the crowd ..all great. Beautiful vistas and the quiet whisper of trees.Parking was perfect.The easy 10min walk to the beach was wonderful. Enough distance to get all the sand off the kids. Beds comfortable and rooms relatively sound proof. Our son in law wants to know when we're going back. We did not miss having a hot tub. We walked to town , ate ice-cream, visited the wharf and walked the beach back to the house. There was a market in the park , we drove to a number of state parks, some of the guests biked the paths and others golfed.There was no excuse to be bored. A great place to go with a few or many. Very dog friendly.We recommend it in a heart beat. We don't want too many people to know about it so it will be available for us when we want it. Owners were understanding and cooperative if we were in need or had any questions. A good time was had by all.

  This is a beautiful and spacious home -- very comfortable and had everything to make the stay fun and relaxing. We enjoyed the views, walks to the beach and close proximity to town and parks. Also very dog friendly which was a big additional plus... We highly recommend this house and would love to come back!

  From the moment you head up the tree-lined driveway, this elegant, well-built, immaculate home says, "Come in, come in, make yourselves at home!" The beds are incredibly comfortable, there are floor lamps for reading in the ample living room chairs (bless you!), two+ people can prep in the kitchen and the whole place is cozy and warm during a fall squall. Lots of board games for kids of all ages. We enjoyed taking our morning coffees out to the deck to watch the sunrise. The beach is perfect for dogs -- mostly sand and lots of sticks -- AND most of the sand will fall off their paws during the brief walk back to the house. A perfect kayak put-in as well. Bring extra presto/java logs so that you can burn one in the morning, too. You'll find anything you need at Ken's Korner (a Red Apple market). Managers Therese and John were friendly and very helpful. We were very comfortable here, and recommend it highly. What a great find. As with any VRBO home, we happily bring along our own chef's knives.

  This was an ideal place for our family to meet, eat, play, sleep, and have fun together! We were able to entertain our son's fiance' family after our entire family arrived (our son and his fiance had prepared everything ahead of time in the well-supplied kitchen); there was plenty of room for everyone! They even had a laundry basket full of toys for the 2 very young children we had with us!! We would recommend this location to anyone who is considering it -- the deposit was returned within a week. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer, and enjoyed the outdoors more since we had to be at nearby Greenbank Farm for the wedding most of Saturday! Thank you so much!!

  This place was even better than expected. The very spacious home housed everyone comfortably. The property is beautiful, well maintained and a short 5 min walk to the beach. We all had a great time.

  We had a big group with 5 adults and 4 kids and everyone had a great time. There was plenty of room to move around and the house is very clean and spacious so each family had their own space. The surrounding area and proximity to Coupeville make it an ideal property to feel like you are secluded but really only a short car ride to town. The beach is just a short walk away and we had nice weather even in October. The kids loved the big Jacuzzi tub upstairs and the kitchen was well stocked with any item you might need to prepare a nice meal for your family. We enjoyed out stay there and will probably make a return trip next year during the summer.

  Our group of 6 was blown away by the comfort and elegance of this home. Everything is beautifully maintained, no musty smell (like so many rentals), comfy beds, and TONS of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the quiet setting. Sun flows into the nicely designed kitchen while you cook breakfast and on clear days you get a great view of Mt. Baker through the trees. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home with us!
