Retreat to serene, sound-front beauty on Whidbey Island at this gorgeously updated, family-friendly rental. Overlooking Skagit Bay, just outside of Oak Harbor, this three-bedroom home offers a quiet retreat with a convenient location to everyday essentials.

Tastefully renovated and refurbished with modern comfort and entertainment in mind, this home is designed to accommodate small group and family gathering. A sweeping, wraparound deck boasts several features including a private hot tub, a sunny lounge area with water views, and a covered, outdoor dining area and private gas grill for summertime cookouts. A sprawling, green backyard lawn area includes a large, stone-circle firepit. The two-level interior features beautiful flooring and recent updates throughout the space.

On the main floor, a painted brick hearth acts as a semi-open partition to the kitchen and living room, with an adjacent, sun-filled dining room through accessible from both areas. Relax in the living room by the warming glow of the gas fireplace while gazing out at the water or catching up with your favorite shows and movies on the flatscreen TV. The kitchen has been fully renovated and redesigned, featuring all new cabinetry and counter tops, a custom backsplash, and a suite of stainless steel appliances including a gas range/hood and dishwasher. A sleek, barn-style sliding door offers inset kitchen storage. Wrapped with windows, the dining room is awash with natural lighting and near-360 views of the home's surroundings.

The fully furnished basement level features a second living area complete with sofa seating, fireplace, flatscreen smart TV, and selection of puzzles. There is one bedroom with an attached, half-bath on this level.

Amazing view and wildlife in the yard every day.
The house was clean and ready with early checkin. Everything was great except for the hot tub not having the chemicals balanced and the water was yellow. Contacted them as soon as we saw it and they came out and fixed it the next morning. The view from the hot tub was amazing and just like shown. There were always bunnies in the yard and deer multiple times a day.

Great vacation home. Would definitely come back again.
Home was perfect for our family and had all the amenities we needed. Only recommendation would be to check septic tank. Had a bad smell in lower part of the house a few mornings. Might want to also check the pump on hot tub, could hear it run a lot when not in use and no settings were changed on it.

Sisters trip
We had a wonderful stay! It’s a great house, though not without issues. One was being awakened at 5:30 by some sort of alarm. Finally found the problem in the garage. Even after having a service tech come out we still had Wi-Fi problems, especially with the tv. Overall, it was an amazing weekend and the views are incredible!

Thanksgiving Family Visit
We enjoyed the house and the beautiful views. Cozy fireplace, beautiful accommodating kitchen. Hot tub was supposed to be a perk to house rental but we were Disappointed with hot tub, greenish and cloudy not clean so no one wanted to use it. Something’s weren’t as clean as you would expect to be.

Great property. Door code did not work when we got there but was able to call and get a extra key. Was clean although the hot tub was cold but we didn't use it the first night and it warmed up quickly the second night. Beautiful view and super comfy. Kitchen well stocked for all our needs.

Entry Frustration & Housekeeping Glitch
Property has a nice view of the water, beautiful sunrises, and is in a good location on the island. Beds were comfortable, and the house is well equipped. Our stay started with much difficulty in using the lock on the front door. The keypad either didn't work, or we weren't given enough information on its use. We had to call management to obtain a pin for the key lock box. When we got into the house, we found that no cleaning had been done since the last renter left. There were dirty sheets and towels in the bedroom, dirty dishes in the cupboards and dishwasher, full waste baskets, dirty water in the hot tub, crumbs on the dining table & dead bugs on the window sill. We called management, and they sent a cleaning team to do the essentials, but we told them not to send another team the next day, as we didn't want any more disruptions in our stay. The personnel tried to help us understand the heating system, but could not, and there were no written instructions. We had one older, unsteady person in our group, and he could not use the upstairs smaller bath, as there was no grab bar in the tub/shower. Also, for safety, there needs to be a railing leading down from the front door to the driveway. The property would be more attractive & usable if weeds were pulled in the front and shrubs were trimmed to allow easier walking down the front steps. With more attention to cleaning and safety, this would be a much more desirable rental.

Gorgeous View
This house has amazing views! The kitchen was great, and overall it was a nice place to stay. I don’t think they had done yard work in a while as there were thorny weeds growing out of the stairs leading to the front door. There were a few things worn out, and needed replacement. The water seemed a little rusty during our stay. We enjoyed our few nights there. Loved Whidbey Island!

Great place to stay with family!
There was plenty of indoor and outdoor space for us with the beautiful wrap-around porch! The kitchen was well stocked with updated equipment and appliances that made cooking together easy. There were many beaches and parks close by as well as grocery stores and restaurants. The ice machine in the fridge was broken during our stay, but other than that everything was great!

Good size accommodation, cleanliness lacking
The house is a great size with an amazing kitchen and dining area. More than enough room for 6 people comfortably. This property is managed by vacasa and they are very hard to contact if you have questions or concerns. This was the first time we stayed at a vrbo type accommodation with our parents. Our parents stayed in the master bedroom and we discovered that they had to clean the toilet in the ensuite bathroom when we arrived because there was splattered feces all over the toilet bowl and under the seat. The bbq tools were left dirty under the bbq with the propane tank left on. The downstairs living room carpet looked like he hadn’t been vacuumed for a while and the light fixture did not work in that room. Some of the remotes for the tv were missing batteries and other remotes had dead batteries. One roku was unplugged and the other was not working. We figured out the roku was unplugged on our second night. Hot tub was available but we did not use it. The property facilities are excellent but the cleanliness and management are terrible.
