Excellent home for spending time with family. Clean and comfortable. Great view. Kitchen is small but capable of making good meals. Could use more kitchen utensils. Indoor fireplace in master bedroom was not working which would have been nice for the atmosphere. Outdoor fireplace on deck (as advertised) was not there. We were looking forward to that. Other than those issues, the home was great for a relaxing stay and to spend time with family.

Absolutely stunning views! Beautiful home! Comfortable beds! Clean and decorated with class. Saddened to learn that the firepit table pictured on the deck was not there, nor the Keurig machine. Unfortunately the fireplace in the bedroom/ensuite didn't work even after communicating with multiple management parties. I could operate it, but management deduced the pilot light truly was out, and only owners can light, who were out of town. So perhaps it will work on your future stay. Pleasant surprise: additional seating has been added to the TV room. Wish: it would useful to add a large baking dish like a casserole dish or 9x13 Pyrex to the kitchen items. There's a lot available, but this would be helpful for future guests.

Spacious home with great views across the way to the North Cascades. Lots of space for multi-generations to spread out. The steep driveway was the biggest surprise, but even that was fine with a huge Ford Transit van.

No privacy
House has a private backyard. Day 2 of our stay landscapers walked across the deck with no warning; all the master curtains were open. Luckily I was dressed. For the next three hours we had no privacy at any of the windows. Day 3 (today) they showed up again at 8:30 with blowers and a music speaker, I asked they turn it off. It seems like this could have been coordinated when there were no paying guests. The front door key pad didn’t work, no remote for the garage doors.

Peaceful setting with plenty of room for family
Our family of 5 adults had plenty of room in this rental for our long weekend exploring Fidalgo and Whidbey islands. Tucked away on a quiet road, we enjoyed both sunrise and sunset views of Hope Island. And the occasional braying of a donkey, and roosters crowing from the farm below!
It was extremely clean, and with 4 sleeping areas we all had privacy. The kitchen has all the basics, and we appreciated the gas grill and gas fire table on the deck.
The property is only a few miles from Deception Pass state park,which we explored thoroughly. The Lighthouse loop trail is about 2 miles and an easy hike. Adventurous ones will find bigger rocks to climb along the way, but the main trail is easy.
The Shrimp Shack is even closer to the house - with lots of seafood choices and covered outdoor seating. Don't miss Chris' Bakery in Oak Harbor if you come here - fantastic selection of donuts, muffins, breads, breakfast sandwiches.
Anacortes, Langley and Coupeville are cute towns with downtown shopping areas on the waterfront, and plenty of restaurant choices. Much to explore on these two islands - looking forward to our next visit.
