I was pretty nervous as we headed out to Whidbey, after dragging my family from across the country, but the house couldn't have been more perfect! Right on the water, we were able to watch gorgeous sunrises, keep an eye on the herons, porpoises, and seals, and take in Mt Baker! I've never seen a more thoroughly outfitted kitchen (food processors, griddle, waffle iron, coffee grinder, crock pot, the list goes on!). Coupeville is a really cute little town with really friendly people. It was a quick drive from the house and we even walked into town one day. The arrangement of the house made it easy for all 7 of us to spread out and not feel like we were on top of each other. I'd recommend the house to anyone looking to host a crowd!
