Beautiful home - the very BEST location! The ocean is right outside of the very large windows. We were able to go down the steps and walk on the beach at low tide. Kitchen was well appointed, with ample supplies for cooking, and everything was nicely labeled so no searching for utensils. The living room had a cozy gas fireplace, and outside on the deck we enjoyed the hot tub, and spent the evening watching the sunset sitting next to the gas fire pit. The bedrooms were roomy (especially the main bedroom with a spectacular view!) with ample outlets for electronics, and even a fan. So - great stay, wonderful hosts!

Wonderful get away

The house was perfect for our family get away. The view and beach access was amazing. At high tide all you can see is water from the deck-it is almost like being on a ship!! So incredible! Will definitely return.

Thanksgiving stay with family

The floor plan worked well for group of 7. The location was nice and views were great. The heat wouldn’t work and the lights kept going out for 20 minutes at a time. Not just flickering, but out completely. The deck fire pit didn’t work either. We enjoyed our time but were disappointed in some of the missing amenities.

This home was the perfect spot for our family of 8, with ages ranging from 8 to 73. We were thrilled to be so close to the water and loved exploring the shore or gazing at the water from the hot tub. A great home base for exploring the San Juan islands! Home was clean, well-stocked with all we needed, and comfortable. We highly recommend it!

Perfect Family Get-away

Had a wonderful week. House was beautifully appointed, beds super comfy, we had everything we needed for a family of 5 with 3 teens. New hot tub and glass fire pits were excellent. The stairs leading down to the beach are missing a rail and therefore are not for small children or those needing support, but we managed fine! The views were to die for!

Our stay was relaxing, the beds were so comfortable, we did not need anything more than what was provided. Crystal reached out to make sure everything was good, and that was appreciated. I know if we did it would have been taken care of. The views were incredible. Spotted bald eagles, a bunny, and many other birds. Would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful trip.

Simply incredible!

This property is just lovely. The scenery is unbelievable…the sea, the mountains. Having the beach so close was wonderful. Swan Lake was full of very cool birds that were so entertaining to watch. Crystal is a fantastic host and the home has everything you could ever need. The beds and pillows are extremely comfortable. There are so many spots to relax and unwind. The deck is so expansive and view is indescribable. Crystal was very responsive and offered help when we needed it. This is a must stay property on Whidbey Island.

Amazing House with Amazing Views

A super amazing house with completely modern appliances and furnishings. The master bedroom even had a fireplace, remote control candles (battery operated and safe) and a sound machine to help us get to sleep easily. Expansive windows allowed for wonderful views of the water, with the feeling that you were right on the water, and even better when enjoyed from the hot tub. Great parks on the island for wonderful hiking, plus great restaurants added to our overall enjoyment.
