THINGS TO KNOW This home is located near Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. As with most homes north of Greenbank, you should be aware that flight training occurs and will result in jet noise. For many this is not an issue and rather a source of excitement, but for some this is disturbing. Please check the flight schedule to see if your dates would be impacted by the jet noise before confirming your reservation, if the jet noise is of concern. Streaming services available with guests’ own account(s). This home is not equipped with air-conditioning.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.
Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program.

Great place overall-
The place is overall great, well kept, comfortable. Would have been nice to have coffee available but that s expected when the mgt is Vacasa, a separate company that requires you to download their app to get the codes to get in etc. A bit of a hassle on the front end but was overall worth it and we d stay again.

Beach Access, Jet Plane Views, & Super Cute!
This adorable house was right on the water, with a beautiful view & beach access! I enjoyed sitting on the deck & looking at the water. The décor and updates to the home were fabulous considering it was built in the 1950's. It was clean, kitchen well stocked, bed comfortable, & plenty of linens. I appreciate the warning about the navy planes. I checked the flight schedules in advance as recommended & nothing was planned. I wasn't sure what to expect. I have no idea what is typical for the planes taking off from this NAS (or any other for that matter). Flights take off & this house is in the flight path, just north of the runway that was being used (you can see it on google maps). The planes taking off were mostly F16's or F18's. They are close & you get a close view! On Tues, 4/15 from 5-8pm, 3 fighter jets took off; from 8-10pm 22 took off, there was 1 fly over. Wed, 4/16 from 9a-1pm, 21 took off, 3 fly overs (including a helicopter). From 8pm-1030pm 5 took off, 4 fly overs. On Thurs, 4/17 from 845-11am 7 took off (including a commercial looking jet plane), 6 fly overs. I was curious about the decibel levels. Using an online decibel meter, when the jets took off it was 98 dB in the house with all the windows & doors closed. It was 108 dB inside the house with the bedroom windows & backdoor open. Sitting outside the house it was 110 dB. To be clear, the owners have no control over this. I anticipate some days have less flights taking off than others, it is an active NAS.

Exactly what we needed
The wife and I needed a getaway close to home and were looking for cozy and intimate. The Cooke House gave us so much more. You could feel the generations of history here; from the man, Mr. Cooke, who built this place log by log and brick by brick with his own 2 hands.

Great Home, Strict policies and unresponsive Management
I Loved the Beach house, it's history, cozy decor and amenities met all our needs.
Where things fell short, was specifically in regards with the property management company Vacasa.
Their guest and no party policy seemed unusually strict. "All guests must be added to the reservation ,even if guests are not staying the night, or be formally evicted with no refund, no parties whatsoever."
I was hoping to invite my brother and his fiance over to celebrate our wedding anniversary with some takeout and cake. Does this qualify as a party? I'm a nearly 30 bookworm. I don't throw loud ragers.
The Cabin has so many amenities for entertaining, and sharing memories with loved ones but the very strictly worded notices on the fridge suggested otherwise. I called the property manager's number that was listed in the binder, "Cassandra". I was hoping to get my guest family members added to the booking but no one answered and there was no voicemail box set up.
We had to change our plans last minute to find a way to celebrate the occasion. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Which was extra frustrating because the home was wonderful otherwise.

Perfectly relaxing
4 day stay … could have easily stayed longer. Great beach just steps from the house, roomy, well stocked with kitchen supplies, comfortable, nice shower, WiFi reception good, tv good, newer appliances, very little to not pic about. Yard maintenance could have been a little better and with no AC the place did get warm on the hot afternoons, but cooled down good by bedtime. Bottom line… we will stay here again!!! Without hesitation!!
