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.

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.

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!

Birthday Weekend Away
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.

Very Nice Place to Stay--- AND its haunted!
The house was great for the price. The hot tub and views are amazing. The house was clean. If you don't mind "strange feelings and ghosts" this is great. Weird noises throughout the night, very, very creaky floors, some people wrote in guestbook haunted and some pages were also torn out. Woke up to it being 48 degrees IN the house on the first night after turning on the heat to 70 the night before.

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.

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 location and plenty of space!
We really enjoyed our time in this house, but there a few small things that could have made it even better. This house has plenty of space for my party and the layout is very comfortable. The location is very nicely situated in a quiet area, but do be aware that because of the naval base you will hear planes sometimes (they didn't bother us). When we were there it was very hot, and there was little to no breeze outside. The house doesn't have ac unfortunately but a good number of fans were provided. Nonetheless - due to the really hot weather ac would have been nice. The kitchen is really large and the eating area is lovely. A few small things were missing from the kitchen that we thought might be there, such as aluminum foil, napkins, plastic wrap. But the appliances are all good and we were easily able to enjoy all our meal after adjusting. The bedrooms were all big enough for us and the living areas were comfortable. Lots of parking in the driveway. The floor was unfortunately not clean when we got there and we had to do some sweeping. I reported this in and was offered to have somebody come out and clean for us (which I thought was great service), but since we had already swept I declined the offer. All in all, we had a fantastic time.

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.

Great weekend getaway for family of 5
We took a weekend trip to Whidbey for our family of 5. I booked this mostly for the water views. The views were better than expected. The house was well kept and had plenty of amenities. Will book again the next time we want to come to Whidbey Island.

Beautiful view, comfy- some stuff didn't work
10/10 for the view. Comfortable beds. Beautiful home. Amazing kitchen and outdoor dining. Downsides: the fireplace did not have any gas, the spa was cloudy from being overchlorinated, and the dial on the dryer was broken.
