Spacious home with great views across the way to the North Cascades. Lots of space for multi-generations to spread out. The steep driveway was the biggest surprise, but even that was fine with a huge Ford Transit van.

We enjoyed our week here. It was very quiet and peaceful as well as clean and spacious. We most enjoyed the deck for eating meals and view of water and hillside.

Beauty and Comfort!
The views from this house were amazing. The rooms were nice and comfortable and the house had all of the amenities we needed. It’s close to Deception State Park so lots of hikes and walking to enjoy nearby.
Everything was as promised. Quiet setting. Beautiful view.

Amazing Home
Large immaculately maintained home. The views are amazing, the yard is beautiful. Everything was clean and comfortable. Only one complaint, the double bed was uncomfortable. Plenty of space for a large family. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Would definitely stay here again.

Lots of room for family. 4 adults and 4 teens. Beautiful location. Steep hill going down to house so wouldn’t want to try it in winter!!!! Very comfortable.
Beautiful property with lovely outdoor deck. Spacious house with 4 bedrooms with extremely comfortable beds. Spent time at Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley and visited quaint island towns of Langley and Coupeville. Very relaxing.

What A View!
This home has one of the best views you can get on Whidbey Island. The home being single story made it very easy for my older family members and there are plenty of bathrooms/bedrooms for an extended family get together. Quiet neighborhood and a nice location to visit nearby towns of Oak Harbor and Anacortes, or the Deception Pass State Park.

One level home with view
We loved that this was a one story home and it was large enough for people to socialize or get some alone time. The view side of the home is almost entirely glass.

Grandson Graduation
We flew in for our grandson’s high school graduation and could not have asked for a better, more beautiful location and home. Everything worked, was in great shape and just as spacious as advertised. When we go back in 2yrs for our other grandsons graduation we would definitely stay here again!

Whidbey Island Getaway
This home has one of the best views on the island. We were able to watch boats, whales, and other wildlife go by as we sipped coffee on the expansive deck area outside. The home itself has a lot of space for a family getaway, or group of friends to comfortably sleep and enjoy the living spaces. Location is just a small (though hilled) walk from the beach, a short drive from Deception Pass State Park, and situated between the towns of Anacortes and Oak Harbor. Lots of great activities and a great home base to explore the PNW.
Excellent home for spending time with family. Clean and comfortable. Great view. Kitchen is small but capable of making good meals. Could use more kitchen utensils. Indoor fireplace in master bedroom was not working which would have been nice for the atmosphere. Outdoor fireplace on deck (as advertised) was not there. We were looking forward to that. Other than those issues, the home was great for a relaxing stay and to spend time with family.

Wonderful view on Whidbey Island
Loved the view and the beautiful Asian-themed landscaping. All windows have a great view of the water on the front of the house. A few glitches with the keypad entry into home. The kitchen is a little small for a 4-bedroom home but manageable. The pictures depict the home accurately.
