Very cozy and comfortable, bonus that they had nightlights and lots of reading lamps. Kitchen well equipped, bed was very comfortable as was the living room furniture . Also liked that there were 2 tables, one to eat at and the other for games or puzzles. It was very warm and inviting with lots of their personal collections that made it welcoming, like you were staying at one of your family members place. There was a perfect outdoor space but we didn't get to use it because of inclement weather, lots of water toys, like kayaks, etc.Would go back if possible.

We chose this place for the location and it was fabulous. I wanted to be close the water for the kids to play and was pleasantly surprised by the nearby park. The home and furnishings are older but comfortable. The host was very responsive when I had questions and the initial booking needed changing. Although overall I would say the place was clean, more attention could be paid to detailed cleaning and some torn/tattered linens should be replaced.

The house is older and lived in as would be expected of a place that allows dogs. The location is awesome, right on the water. The host gave great directions, the only thing I would add is to say that the house is yellow because it is a little bit difficult to find.The air conditioning unit was not working right and the host was very attentive to try to get it working correctly. I can’t say enough nice things about the host, Jess. She was very personable and wonderful to work with.

Beautiful property with incredible view

This was a very comfortable, low-key beach house. It poured rain most of the time we were there, but we fit in a walk on the beach and a trip into Langley for lunch. It was great to be able to bring our dog, too.

Wonderful West Coast Home

My family and I had a great stay at Jessica’s place. The home is lovely and location is beautiful. We used the kayaks, enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning with a cup of coffee and loved the peaceful neighborhood. Jess was a wonderful and responsive host. We highly recommend this vacation home.

The Perfect, Simple Getaway

This charming home is located right on the water, with the sounds of the waves capturing our hearts right away. There was plenty of space for the family and enough extras, like the piano, games and puzzles, to make it easy to cozy up on the comfy couch or sit on the back deck watching the wildlife and waves. We will definitely be coming back!

A wonderful getaway

We had such a relaxing stay on Baby Beach :) It was perfect for me, my husband and our toddler with loads of family friendly activities around the island, but also just the right amount of space in the home. The views were spectacular and the home had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We especially loved the fireplace and the kayaks, as well as the park for our little one that was in walking distance! Will definitely be back!

Lovely Little House!

This house is a great location, right on the water and pet friendly! We walked our dog around the neighborhood a few times and she loved it. The location was really great and central, just a few blocks from the grocery store and coffee shops. The owners were great at communicating everything for check-in and provided everything we would need for the stay, including plenty of towels, blankets, and space heaters in every room, which was a nice touch for the winter month. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely home with a beautiful view.

Older property with character and charm. If you like living in a home and not a glass and steel box by the water . then this is the place. Serenity is a word to that comes to mind when you pick this part of Freeland Town - Whidbey Island Washington State.

Great Fully Equipped House!

This was a wonderful house right on the water in Freeland, WA. Not only is this probably the best location on the whole bay, but the house has everything you need to have a great time. Within walking distance to great stores that have everything you need. We had my in laws and my 16 month old son and we all had an amazing time. the owner was very responsive and generous with their supplies and amenities!
