We stayed here over fourth of July weekend with my family. We loved the view and easy access to the beach. The house was overall very nice. I was let down by the hot tub not having been cleaned in quite some time. We were really looking forward to using it. When I opened the lid it was half full of dirty water and a couple of slugs. There were a few other items that were not cleaned properly. I now know not to stay in properties managed by Vacasa
Dog friendly house and yard, great deck and large windows to capture sunset if there. Had everything we needed, comfortable, and quiet. Would come back again!! Centrally located in the island!
The property is beautifully redone and nicely decorated. Not overly cluttered and all the right stuff at your disposal. Great views of Admiralty Bay and the Olympic Mountains. As the location is mid- Whidbey Island, we had easy access to everything we needed.
The photos of this property donât do it justice. Walking through the door will take your breath away. Watching the sun set over the Olympic Mountain range with the Puget Sound from the comfort of the kitchen will set the tone of your trip. The kitchen is huge, perfect for baking, delicious dinners, and perfect for a family gathering.
Stayed the weekend with some friends at this lovely Whidbey Island rental. The space was perfect for our group of six - large and spacious while also cozy and inviting with stunning views of the water. Hot tub was an added bonus! Would definitely recommend this rental and hope to stay here again!
This is a five star home with 5 star views and amenities. We were blown away with the beauty surrounding us . Then the jets started practicing their touch and go training at nearby OLF. Starting at 7pm the first night Navy âGrowlersâ flew directly over the property hundreds of times about 300 feet above us. You could almost see the pilots in the cockpits-they were that low. The noise was deafening. We spent 3 hours covering our ears and cowering with each fly by. My dogs were going crazy, my children were crying and unable to sleep. The training lasted until just past 10pm that night. My husband and I thought surely they wouldnât practice 2 nights in a row, but we were wrong. The second night, training went from 7-11pm. By 9pm that night we decided we had to leave. We packed up the next morning and abandoned our last three nights of our one and only vacation.
Nowhere in the VRBO description of this property does it mention the severity of jet noise. This is unacceptable. We are no strangers to Whidbey, and the Naval presence there, but have never been directly in a jet flight path like we were at this property.
The description of this property needs a huge disclaimer about the noise. If youâre lucky enough to book on a non training week, this house would be heavenly. Unfortunately, the Navy doesnât post its schedules far enough in advance. We were robbed of our vacation. Thankfully we weâre reimbursed for a small amount of our payment, but our disappointment remains.
I had no issue with the cleanliness or the location or the ease of entering the home. I was taken back when I walked into the livingroom and saw the severely torn screen on the sliding glass doors leading to the deck. It appeared a dog had tryied to get into the house and ripped the screen as well as in the master bedroom.
One of the decision makers to rent this VRBO home was the hot tub. My family was grieving my mother's death, & we wanted a place where we could just decompress. Instead the first night we noted the hot tub was half full and barely warm. The 2nd night we purposely went to the hot tub at the end of our day, and found the same issue, filled up the hot tub with the outside hose that was slow running and the hot tub was lukewarm at 77 degrees, no manual was provided. It did not get past 84 degrees. I called the VRBO contact & was told there was nothing they could do that night. We were appalled at the lack of understanding & was told no one could come to the house that night. I explained that was the deciding factor that caused us to rent at this VRBO. I called first thing in the morning & was told they would TRY to get someone out there that morning. I asked for an estimated time as I was leaving for family mtg & was told they could refund me $20/day for this mtr. No refund has been received to date. I EXPECT A REFUND. I'm sorry this was my1st encounter w/ VRBO. Chris, maintenance guy did come & was aware there was a leak in hot tub & aware of screens.
Nicely updated, and accommodations very clean.
Enjoyed the hot tub and view, and walks to the beach. Kitchen stocked nicely, and loved that they had a dog bed, bowl, and doggy bags. We had a terrific stay! Thank you
Beautiful and peaceful, enjoyed it very much.
Only downside is there was a lot of dog hair on the floor, couch, and bed spread from what I am assuming the previous tenants. I didnât feel comfortable sitting on the couch.
We had a wonderful time on whidbey. The house is well appointed, with comfortable furnishings. We loved the back yard and hot tub, and saw lots of deer in the neighborhood. Coupeville was close by with great dining options. We would definitely come back!
We enjoyed the stay, everything was fantastic and we really enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, sitting in the hot tub, and having a great yard for the dog to run in. The only thing that could be improved is the mattresses were not very comfortable and could be upgraded. Otherwise, thank you for the hospitality!
Nice spot, items from previous visitors left in one bathroom. Rugs need cleaning. Many doggy accident/stains on 2 carpets (smaller bedroom) and living room carpet. Would be nice to have a few more supplies or have it noted there is not foul/baggies & such.
Other than those small things, it was a lovely quiet getaway and the home is quite comfortable in a great spot. Canât really beat the view.
We loved the amazing view from the deck and dining room! We also really loved that the yard was tastefully fenced so our dog was able to be free. The hot tub and fire pit were also super great!
The house was great. It was clean, comfortable, well equipped and has a good location. The yard was pleasant and our dog loved it. The only trouble we had was that the keypad was very difficult to operate and the code was unnecessarily long and cumbersome.
This was a really comfortable, spacious house for our family of three, with a well-maintained hot tub and large fenced backyard for our dog. The view is beautiful and being able to use the local pool was a plus!
