The home is a nice place that is very private and has a fantastic view. The living room and master bedroom both have large picture windows with amazing views of puget sound and Whidbey island. There is a nice deck overlooking the sound, with a stairway that accesses the private beach. There is a caretaker that lives on the property, but she’s very friendly and she doesn’t bother anyone.
The house is decorated with mid century modern furniture, which looks cool but is not very comfortable, the kitchen is very functional, and well stocked with pans, dishes, and utensils. We cooked several meals and found the kitchen to be very nice. There is a grand piano in the living room, which is great if you play, but otherwise it takes up too much space, space that could be used for more furniture. The nearest store is 15-20 minutes away. Internet is good. There is a tv with Netflix. There are a couple board games, but I’d bring your own. If you have small kids, watch the around the deck and stairs, they aren’t very safe.
Just a few complaints- the house is COLD when you check in. There are electric heaters, but they take forever to heat. There is a working wood stove, and the house is stocked with some wood, but I suggest bringing kindling or duraflame logs. Also; the master bathroom has no blinds on the large picture windows which means that unless you don’t mind showing the neighbors your bits and bobs, you’ll have to use the downstairs bathroom.
We had a circuit breaker trip whilst there and had to call VRBO to find it (behind a picture in the small bedroom)
Overall it was a good stay, and I would definitely stay there again. More so if they upgrade to more comfortable furniture.
