Great views of Penn Cove and Cascades in distance. Super quiet private location (driveway is a few hundred yards from road). 5-10 minutes drive to stores/restaurants in Oak Harbor and Coupville. Very well stocked (best weâve ever experienced) with everything you need for cooking or leftovers (salt/pepper, sugar, flour, spices, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, plastic storage bags, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, etc. - things you typically need just a small amount and have to buy). Also provided plenty of bottled water (the well water has a poor taste). A few things that could make The Preserve rental even better: Large TV (there is just one small 19â TV), light blocking shades or drapes in the bedrooms (long days in the summer and too bright), screen doors to let the air flow through better, and AC (though typically not needed). It was just me and my wife and we only used one of the bedrooms. Will stay again next time we visit Whidbey Island.
