Home Truths:
- Beach access from the home includes steep steps that may become slippery when wet. Due to natural erosion, there is a significant drop from the bottom step to the sand, which may require a large step down. For easier access, a nearby public beach entrance is just a short walk away.
- This home allows up to 2 dogs for a fee; undisclosed pets brought without AvantStay’s approval may result in a $500 fine per pet.
- Use of fire features is subject to local burn bans.
- There is no AC.
- Whidbey Island is home to a naval air base. On a few weekdays each month (and occasionally in the evening), you may hear loud flight training. The Navy does not conduct training on weekends or holidays and typically publishes the schedule one week in advance.

Parking Details:
- Maximum of 4 cars allowed in the driveway.
- Garage is not available for guest use.
