Nestled among the trees with Mutiny Bay and mountain views, this log-style home is the ideal place to get away from it all. Grab a favorite read and kick back in the main living room where large windows invite in the scenic backdrop. In the entertainment space off the living area, a dart board, arcade game, and TV provide hours of entertainment. The fun continues downstairs with a pool table and retro-gaming console featuring over 5,000 games including Nintendo and Sega. Prepare favorite recipes in the modern kitchen, outfitted with stainless steel appliances. When it's time to eat, gather at the dining table with one another. Afterward, take a relaxing soak in the new hot tub.
Ample outdoor living space offers more space to unwind. Stretch out on the sectional on the main deck, or fire up the gas grill and dine alfresco at the table. Two additional balconies each have seating for guests -- a perfect perch for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The enclosed yard features plenty of room for lawn games.

Nothing was as advertised
House was not clean. We had to try over and over because the code would not work to get in. The electricity went out for half of the time we were there. It was terrible in my experience.

First time to Whidbey Island
Really enjoyed our stay. The location was quiet, pleasant and mellow.
Had issues with the entry code at check in and throughout our stay. But overall we had a wonderful time and would stay again!

Fun for all ages and all weather
House matched description. Loved bright and beachy upstairs, game room and hot tub downstairs and proximity to Robinson beach. Visited Langley, Green Bank Farm, Coupeville and Fort Casey, Price sculpture garden, Meerkerk gardens…all easy drives from our property. Highly recommend!

Lots of room
Top floor nicely done. Good view of water with lots of windows. Dishwasher appears to have been broken for a while as all dishes needed to be hand-washed. Bottom floor had A/C, top floor did not. Bottom floor good for kids with pool table & arcade game. Downstairs couch & carpet need a cleaning. Backyard with hot tub & fire pit not appealing as needed a vegetation cleanup & stairs on left side of yard a safety hazard for children. Used front yard games.

Great spot for board gaming!
My friends and I have been looking for a good spot to hang out and game, and this house was the winner. The dinner table was large enough to play most games on. Everything was neat, the beds were comfortable and the hot tub was super hot. The only complaint was the downstairs bedroom had a window that faced the neighbors yard and did not have a curtain. We will book this one again.

No privacy
No locks on the master bedroom. Shear curtains in the bedrooms and no covers in any of the communal rooms. Would not recommend.

Good location
Good location close to a public beach and town. Had issues with the kitchen fridge/freezer maintaining temp as the seal on the freezer is broken. Reported to property manager and was able to use the mini fridge and freezer in the game room.

Our stay
We loved the property and size. The house was great. The game room was amazing. The view was perfect.
There are things that could have made it better. If you have a no shoes policy- please have clean floors. Our bare feet were black within an hour of being in the house. Having four gardeners show up to work in the yard while we were there felt intrusive.
The door on the garage needs a better lock. Curtains in floor level rooms would also be nice. We didnt have cleaning supplies for the counters. There wasnt enough dishwasher soap for the amount of days we were staying. Several dishes in the cupboards were dirty upon arrival. And there were only a few measuring tools. The grill on the deck did not have propane. The steps in the backyard are rotted and someone could get hurt. Just fixing a few minor things would make the stay even better. We would stay here again even with the minor quirks.

Great Location…but house needs work
The house and the space are great. It was a great layout, well stocked kitchen and items for kids. We had only 3 towels for 4 guests…and a hot tub.
The dishwasher was leaking, so we called Vacasa to let them know. Hopefully they told the owners. We had no local contact for more towels or let them know of the water leak.
The home also has a very strong old house / mildew smell. Like super strong. It seems like they did a great job cosmetically with their remodel, but plumbing / mold / mildew wasn’t addressed. We’d stay again if that issue could get fixed.
Also like other reviews noted, the arcade machine does not work. The view is lovely.

Entertainment failure with a beautiful view.
Took the kids for an adventurous spring break. This house would’ve been okay if it were for a relaxing getaway without the kids. One of the main reasons we chose this location was for the “Stand up Arcade” that was advertised. Thought it would be perfect and fun for the kiddos during downtime. The 5 middle aged children were excited to play! However, it wasn’t working. No power to it, out of service. We attempted to contact both the host and rental company and received no reply.
Aside from that, the views were amazing and beautiful.

Great Family Gathering Spot
Clean, beautiful, updated, and well stocked property. Had nice views of the sunsets while sipping vino from the deck. The outdoor heater was great to have. Wifi worked great . Close proximity to grocery store, brewery, and restaurants. I would stay here again in an instant!!!
