What a charming house! The waterfront location was absolutely perfect for our wave-watching needs, and the house itself was spacious and well-appointed. The well-stocked kitchen made it easy for us to eat in when we wanted, and lots of room meant the five of us were all very comfortable.
Maybe the best part of the place is just how many different little communal spaces there are. Several different dining/lounging areas outside on the water, more on the wrap-around deck and attached garden, as well as several comfy spots inside. It was easy for us all to sit together or for each of us to carve out our own little spot to read, nap, or soak up the scenery.
The location is sort of isolated - probably a 5-10 minute drive to the nearby towns - which was perfect for our purposes, but may require you to do a bit of planning for supply runs . The wi-fi was also a little spotty at times, but of course that just encouraged us to stay unplugged.
The house was an excellent basecamp for our various day trips and excursions, and when we weren't out exploring, we just enjoyed our vantage point right on the water. We loved the wildlife, the boats, and the makeshift beach that forms just outside the house at low tide.
Our trip to Whidbey Island was fantastic, and this house was a big reason why!
