Contemporary, bright and clean house on the water was the perfect getaway with family from Seattle!

Most vacation rentals oversell the properties. This listing doesn’t do it justice. I truly hope to make this at least an annual tradition to return. Right on the water - so many windows and so much natural light. Neighbors were so friendly. The interior is beautiful. I only have good things to say.

After our Alaska cruise, we wanted to extend our stay and booked this house on Whidbey Island. My niece lives in Seattle, so it was a perfect location for her to join us and for us to wind down after a wonderful but busy Alaska cruise. The home was just beautiful! It looked just like the pictures advertised, only the pictures did not mention that EVERY room has a water view! That was a real treat. The home was decorated so tastefully and looked like it had been recently remodeled. We loved the style and decor. My niece and her fiance also thought it was just gorgeous and loved the views. You could not have been close to the water. The house was stocked with everything we needed. It also had Aveda hair products which I like; that was nice. I would highly recommend the home. The island overall was a great place to vacation and there is plenty to do and keep yourself occupied even though it's a bit remote. The process was smooth and easy.

The view is top notch from the master bedroom, kitchen and livingroom, and the other two bedrooms have some views too. There is no beach access from the yard but there a public access point about 6 houses down the street. We saw tons of birds and even two orca briefly. The kichen was well stocked and even had little touches like white sugar, a starter pack of coffee. There was great outdoor furnature on a nice deck (could only be better if part of it was covered) Whidbey Island is amazing, and this place is about 15 minutes from Coupville which is adorable, and 15 minutes the other direction from Freeland, which has the services and stores you need. If/When the Greenville store reopens, that will be super nice for guests here too. It was a great place for dogs even though there was no fenced in yard. It seems like they intentionally picked carpeting and furniture that would withstand the wear and tear dogs can place on it. My only comment was that if you are on the main floor, the footsteps upstairs can be a little loud, but still 5 stars.

My spouse and I reunited at the Hideaway and completely enjoyed ourselves. The place is cozy, the view is amazing (we saw orcas in the Saratoga passage!) and we felt welcome and at ease. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week at the water. The house was so clean and well stocked. The views are amazing and the wildlife incredible. We loved staying there.

House was immaculate and tidy, well-stocked, comfortable. There were lots of windows for amazing water views.

As we walked through the front door we knew we were in the right place for us: it was sparkling inside and out with lots of room to stretch out and relax. Sunlight flickered off the water. Out on the deck we caught the last rays as we relaxed watching the gulls, herons and an occasional seal peeking its head up. The kitchen was equipped with anything one could want and we cooked all of our own meals. Of course we got the requisite pie at Greenbank Farms (the marionberry berry is our favorite) and had pastries from Dolce Bakery and Cafe nearby (thanks to host Lucy whose recommendations were spot on!) Whidbey offers a myriad of activities all within an easy drive of Hidden Beach. The Price Sculpture Garden near Coupeville was a hidden treasure and not to be missed (another of Lucy’s tips) and we did long hikes at both Ebey’s Landing and Deception Pass. We brought friends from Tennessee and it was a trip they will never forget. We felt very, very lucky to have found this gem. Thank you, Lucy.
