Experience the unparalleled natural beauty of Whidbey Island at this perfectly located Coupeville escape! This spacious, family-friendly retreat is made up of two levels, providing enough space to bring your entire group with you. Step inside and a well-equipped and tastefully-decorated open floor plan will greet you. The living area is a great place to unwind and gather with your friends around the gas fireplace during cold nights. Turn on the flatscreen TV and stream your favorite series, or challenge your friends to a fun Xbox game. If you'd like more of a quiet afternoon, grab one of the many books in the bookshelf, curl up by the fireplace, and forget about everything else. The fully-equipped kitchen has everything the chef of the group could need to surprise everyone with full-course meals! Enjoy said meals indoors, at the dining area, or step it up a notch and enjoy your meals with ocean views at the deck–it offers a convenient outdoor dining area and a gas grill! Take advantage of the jetted tub available on the upper level, especially after coming home from a long car ride or spending the day exploring the area. The lower level of this getaway offers a nice living area where everyone can wind down easily in front of the TV, a well-equipped kitchenette, direct access to the expansive lawn, and another gas grill!
What's nearby: This marvelous retreat offers that away-from-it-all location, however, you'll be a short walk or drive away from the private community beach, where kayaking, paddleboarding, or crabbing on the shore are just a couple of the most popular and fun activities you can try here. The charming town of Coupeville is three miles west where shops and dining options abound. The amazing waterfront hiking trail at Ebey's Landing is five miles west, while Fort Casey State Park is six miles south.

Nice house, but...
It's a lovely house with a nice outdoor space, but it's had some weird updates and could use some TLC. It could also use a bigger dining room table and more chairs. It's advertised to fit 10 guests, but there's only room for about 6 to sit around the table. Our biggest complaint was that it has 3 separate rentals on the property, which we weren't aware of based on the listing. You can rent the top floor, the basement, or a separate rental room above the garage. So just be aware that you might be sharing the hot tub with strangers.

Okay but needs some TLC
The listing was misleading - we thought the smaller building shown was the Octopus Nest. Instead it was a study that we had no access to, so not sure why it's shown in the listing. The Octopus Nest is actually just the basement of the main house. There were many issues with this property. Lack of laundry is a pain when you have a large group and are staying for multiple days. The kitchen items were mismatched and uncared for. No wine glasses at all. We had to call maintenance more than once - the door lock plate kept falling off, the light over the kitchen sink didn't work, the water temp in the main shower was too low and couldn't be adjusted. The freestanding cot was missing pieces and had to be ziptied together. The maintenance guy couldn't even fix most of it. There were only four seats at the main dining table for a house that sleeps 10. The upholstery on a lot of the furniture is stained. The linen closets are full of random mismatched sheets and blankets but also not enough hot tub towels. I could go on - this place was probably really nice at one point but in my opinion Vacasa does a shabby job of taking care of properties and this one needs someone who cares to work on it. For what we paid it was disappointing.
