+ Fantastic view
+ Conveniently located; a short drive to everything in South Whidbey
+ Short walk to the beach
+ Spacious- plenty of room to spread out
+ Extra fridge in the garage for drinks
- Nearby beach is great for strolling & exploring, but it's mostly rocky (bring shoes)... if you're looking for a classic "beach day" you'll probably want to drive elsewhere
- The furniture & appliances, although well-cared-for, are dated. You can tell this was a top-of-the-line house 30 years ago, and although it's well-loved, some things are showing their age
- If you're not careful, the dishwasher backs up into the sink. Might be a septic capacity issue; there are signs warning. We had to be careful about when we turned on the dishwasher.
- Kids' bunk beds are very creaky, which made it hard for the kids (and thus, the parents) to sleep
Overall this is a nice house in a gorgeous location. We had a great trip, but there were enough small annoyances that we had to knock off a star.
