Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall I found the property on the level of a 2-3 star hotel. Inside there are many deferred maintenance items; windows that don't open properly, shower door that is very difficult to open and close, toilet seat is worn and needs replaced (the entire toilet needs updating to a standard height and width suitable for adult use imho) and front door that is hard to open/close to secure the deadbolt, refrigerator door is hinged on the "wrong" side making it inconvenient to load and unload from the kitchen, clothing stand in bedroom wonky and unsteady, curtain rod in living room not secured and literally fell on my head when I tried to open the curtains upon arrival. Seriously, who installed this without securing it? Overall the cleanliness and attention to detail was below average. Outside the porch and chairs were not clean and the area around the yard was overgrown and gave me the impression of neglect and lack of attention to the entire property. I come to the island 3-4 times per year for a mix of business and pleasure and I would not recommend this to anyone at half the price. I paid 200 per night for 2 nights and the value proposition is just not there. Sorry but your marketing enthusiasm for this property is misplaced without a concerted attention to detail, targeted repairs and maintenance. For an experienced traveler like myself to return all items I have noted would have to be addressed and then maybe I would consider another stay in the future. Maybe.

Great little cabin in a small grove of trees. Lots of wildlife and privacy. We watched a bald eagle eating dinner in one of the trees, walked to the bay, enjoyed hearing the frogs.

Keeping it on the list!

This is a lovely place we will certainly look up again when spending time in the area. It comes with everything you need, is 10 min from everything you may still want, and has lots and lots of privacy. We arrived very late and probably woke all neighbors backing back out of their driveways; make sure you go slow enough down the street for your GPS to keep up in real time to find the right entrance. Absolutely no worries once you get there. Thank you for having us.

Cute little cottage, no water view

This cottage is cute and in a great location but without the water views suggested by the title Penn Cove Overlook and the views shown in the photos. The weather was warm while we were there, but the windows were in poor repair. One could not be opened at all and another could not be closed.without pushing from outside.

Perfect Cabin

Wow our cabin was amazing. It’s tucked away and very quiet. The cleanliness was 5 star. We had Every amenity in kitchen, nice linens, extra throw blankets. We enjoyed the porch for hours. We even got to pick wild blueberries and made a jam. We were there for a wedding in Coupville and travel was easy. Thank you for a wonderful memory.

Excellent...but not perfect

Cosy little hideaway, we totally enjoyed our time here. Pretty well equipped, except no tea towels, but there are quite a few design miscues that impacted our stay. Too many to list. Place was very clean although lifting a floor rug and then looking under the bed was a mistake. As it often is, I guess?

Cute cabin, great base station

Cabin was cozy and clean. The yard was a bit over grown with bushes that have tons of thorns on them which made for a difficult time with kids. The kids did love the loft though. The cabin is advertised as having beach access which is not the case. We would definitely go back though.

Getaway w/out kids

Check-in process was super slick. Got a text the place was ready and hadd the email with the check-in process. Super convenient way to communicate with the host, either by calling or texting. They were super responsive. Highly recommend staying here. We plan to try and schedule another trip. This place is smack in the middle of the island so it's convenient to make day trips to other locations.

A cozy and comfortable cabin

We had a great time staying in this cabin. It had all essentials for a stay and also for cooking a light breakfast. It was lil tricky to find this place. But the property manager was helpful. The texting got me quick and prompt responses for my queries. It would have been better to come in summer as it was cold to roam around and enjoy the beaches and lookout points in Feb first week.

A little gem

Enjoyed the privacy of this little cabin. Close to main roads but you wouldn't know it. Amazing sunrise view from the covered porch. Enjoyed all the birdsong . surprised how much there was at this time of year. Cabin had cobwebs in doorways and some garbage outside of cabin. Could use better places to hang coats. But overall it was very nice.

Penn Cove ❤️

We recently came to stay at the Penn Cove cabin. I cannot say enough about this peaceful and beautiful place! It was perfect for two! We enjoyed morning coffee and sunrise right from our porch and used the propane fire pit every morning. The propane stove inside is beautiful and cozy. The space is small, no false advertising here but they have made great use of every nook and cranny. The pond, the birds, the view-breathtaking! We arrived a little earlier than expected, gave them a quick call and were able to check in right away. Just an awesome experience over all and we would definitely stay again!

Cozy Cabin Getaway

Our stay at this cabin was perfect. It was impeccably clean and had all the amenities you would need to feel at home. Very cozy with the fireplace and even though it is on the property with another home, it feels very private. And we also enjoyed the propan fire pit in the porch. We enjoyed exploring the beach near the house (you did have to walk alongside the bigger home and that felt ok since no one was staying there, don't know how it would be if there were guests) and it was close to Oak Harbor for dinner and Whidbey Island Farm and Market. Overall, our weekend was perfect. The hosts are very responsive and accomodating. Highly recommend!

Beautiful little cabin near town

We loved our little get away, close to coupeville. It’s perfect for 3 people max I would say. It was very cozy and set amongst the tall trees.. beautiful birds and even a neighborhood eagle. The only thing was the two blow up mattresses we noticed had holes in them ( we tried one, then the other with no luck) but we managed to share the 2 beds ok. ( The propane was out for the gas grille fireplace ) yes you have to walk through the owners yard to get to the beach but they are super friendly and at first it felt strange ( like intruding) but really it was fine)

Loved, but beware

This cabin was absolutely wonderful! Such a serene location abundant with nature. My only hiccups that I think would be beneficial for others to know: the beach access is awkwardly placed so that you have to walk through the main properties backyard. We lucked out and since there were no renters that weekend, we avoided some awkward interruptions. Also, the climb down is pretty treacherous and not for little kids or the elderly. The cabin also did not have much in the way of cooking. Salt and pepper yes, but no oil and no lid for the cooking pan. There was no first aid kit or band aids of any kind for that matter. I only noticed this because I cut myself in accident and had to drive to the store. No toiletries and most importantly, no dryer!! That's a big one for me, but luckily there was a wall heater I was able to use like a blow dryer...I know, desperate times call for desperate measures. That being said, it is definitely worth renting, just beware you need to be fully prepared or you will be running to the store quite often

Really nice stay with a few recommendations

Fix the railing on the ladder up to the loft! The top right support rail almost pulled out and put me off balance when I went up to get the other pillows. Reverse the direction of the doors on the refrigerator. I was ready to just do it on our second day but my wife talked me out of it. It would make it a lot easier to load/unload to the kitchen counter. The doors on that type of refrigerator are reversible - just takes a screwdriver. Put a coat hook just inside the front door. It will not get in the way of normal room use and it is a bit easier than dealing with the hangers in the space between the kitchen and bathroom. Have a good reading light. We had to use our flashlights or go into the bathroom to read a few things. Have a light blanket or two available to use instead of just the duvet. Have a couple of wall hooks in the bedroom for robes. Items we missed / had issues with: We looked for the games, books, and puzzles as described for the rental but could not find them. We had problems getting the TV and internet working we got there. It was quickly fixed - thank you! But it should have been tested before we got there. Wish-list item: Replace the ladder to the loft with a set of pull-down stairs. It looks like the existing ladder railings are long enough to re-use for supports for a set of pull-down stairs and it would make using the kitchen and dining space much more pleasant and make going to/from the loft safer.
