This was an awesome place, we were right on the ocean. The picture windows had a beautiful view of the ocean and beach. We could walk for miles at low tide and high tide was right at the wall. Sunset was beautiful from the patio. The house was set up nice and had plenty of room. Check in was super easy. I would definitely recommend this home.

Beach and roomy

The house was clean and had a great beach feel. The stairway to the beach is a little difficult, not good for elderly or disabled. Wish we could’ve had better weather to enjoy it more. There are board games too. We had a great time and would love to stay there again.

Perfect for a Quiet Family Getaway

I stayed here with my husband and 2-year-old for 4 nights. The location is fantastic! Close enough to Oak Harbor to get everything you need, and perfectly placed on the water with quiet neighbors. We loved sitting on the back porch & walking up and down the beach. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking family meals, and the pizza in the fridge upon arrival was a very appreciated touch! This property has a pack-and-play AND a cabinet full of toys and games. A great choice for traveling with young kids!

Great property close to Deception Pass, and Oak Harbor, right on the beach. My only con is the property description said no pets, but it was clear that the owner must have pet(s). I would not have booked the place if I had known there would be so much pet hair around.

Pleasant stay

We had a pleasant stay at this property. Great location and wonderful views from the living and master room. Kitchen was well stocked. However, property is dated and we didn't find it that clean. Spider webs at a number of places and bathrooms had signs of black mold. Lastly, you get the long list of things to do before check-out (including run dishwasher, washing machine etc) - we like many others find this ridiculous, especially when you are paying high cleaning (+other) fees.
