Best vacation we’ve ever taken.
Marty and Juanita are the sweetest hosts. The Cottage is absolutely spotless and has everything you need to cook, clean, do laundry, and feel like you’re coming home. If there’s something you need that you don’t find, a quick text and Juanita will be right over as they live next door on the property. Don’t let that deter you, because the cottage still has a very private feeling. Going in May was a great choice since there’s tulips and other spring blooms, though I heard a bit later in the summer you wake up to the smell of roses. Marty and Juanita are willing to give you space as well as hang out and chat, which we appreciated both. The location is among beautiful farmland which gives it a rural feeling even though you’re less than 10 minutes from Oak Harbor and Coupeville. Mountain and water views are spectacular! And, you can’t find a better sunset on the Puget Sound! Awesome birdwatching, more eagles than you can believe! Something I wished for was slightly more informative check in instructions. However, M and J were just a quick phone call away (they happened to be out when we arrived) and we got in with little issue. I know had we arrived at 4 when check in was scheduled they would have been right there to help. Side note: Whidbey Island is much more LGBTQ friendly than we anticipated, which was a huge plus! My partner and I will be back soon!
