Good property, lovely views, amazing beach access. Well equipped kitchen and lots of things to walk and drive to. Penn cove brewery is great as is double bluff dog park.

Mishele is a wonderful host. Easy to communicate with, thoughtful and responds right away. The view and location to the beach can’t be beat. The place is spotless and the kitchen is well stocked which we appreciated. We felt like we were at home, not a rental. The beds and pillows were so comfy. My husband usually complains about these two things wherever we stay but not this time. We loved our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Sidney

The house is beautiful! It was very clean, well stocked, just steps from the beach and the views were gorgeous. We enjoyed our time exploring the beach, spotting bald eagles, seals, and deer. The house is conveniently located, close to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. in Freeland and just a short drive to Langley and Coupeville. Mishele, our host, was incredibly helpful, communicative, and generous. We couldn't have asked for a better home and host!

We had a wonderful relaxing, quiet, and cozy trip. The house was perfect, great views, well stocked with essentials and games/puzzles. Check in/out was easy, Mishele was very welcoming. Would stay here again on our next trip to Whidby Island.

First off, the management of this property is excellent. Mishele and Ben were very responsive to any questions that arose both before and during our stay, and they were extremely prompt in all of their responses. Moreover, the instructions on how to get to and use the house were easy to understand and thorough. Everything felt well thought out without being rigid. They even gave us a late checkout without us asking, which was very kind! The property itself is a great size with a lot of sleeping options for larger parties. The kitchen had everything we needed and more without feeling cluttered. The living areas and deck were spacious and open with amazing views of the water. It's close to lots of things to do, food, groceries, etc. We would be delighted to stay here again.

We had a great stay here. The views are beautiful and the house was well stocked. Mishele was very attentive and sent us a message upon arrival as well was available throughout our stay if we had any questions. The beds are very comfortable and the books and games available for use were a nice bonus. My only recommendation would be to add blinds/drapes to the main window by the dining table, the sun was strong during dinner hours and some shade there would be handy. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a great time staying at A Home On the Harbor. The house is comfortable, very well equipped and had everything we needed for our party of 6. You can't beat sitting on the deck and looking at the view. We loved seeing the bald eagles, deer and bunnies. Mishele was a great host and quickly answered any questions that we had.

What a wonderful vacation home. Beautiful setting with views over the water. There were only four of us so there was plenty of space both inside and out on the deck, with access down to the beach. Not far from local amenities and within walking distance of Freeland Hall which was great as we had a wedding to attend. Our host Mishele was extremely helpful with information on what to do and where to visit and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. Would thoroughly recommend A Home on the Harbor, sadly we weren't there long enough to get the full use of all the facilities but would definitely use again if we come back to Whidbey.

One of my favorite things to do in Hawaii is to sit out on a lanai with a good cup of coffee and watch the sun come up on the ocean. Freeland on Whidbey Island isn’t Hawaii, but sitting at a beautiful dining room table surrounded by large windows looking out at Holmes Harbor is about as close as we’re going to get in the Pacific Northwest. My wife and I spent three nights there this past weekend and had some beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We were both struck by how quiet it was and how dark the night really is when there are no city lights nearby. The home is in great shape, thoughtfully decorated, and very welcoming. The kitchen is updated (I loved the tall cutting board countertop) and well-stocked with basic supplies (like olive oil and spices) if you decide to eat in. The owners have gone above and beyond making sure guests would have everything they need, including things like band aids and hydrogen peroxide. We didn’t use the downstairs half, but there is room in the house for two families, with two master bedrooms and two living rooms. The house is surrounded by spacious decks which would be great in warmer seasons. We didn’t get down to the beach below the house as my wife just had surgery on a broken ankle, but it is a stone throw away and looks lovely. We built a fire in the fireplace each evening and played Scrabble. The guest book has a lot of great suggestions for things to do in the local area. Payless, the local grocery store (3 minutes away) is really good. We visited the Spoiled Dog Winery one afternoon, and had dinner at nearby Gordon’s on Blueberry Hill our last night (great food, service and price, with a beautiful sunset on top of it all). We would definitely stay at A Home on the Harbor again.

A great spot. Wonderful ocean view patio with beach access. Quiet neighborhood. Easy parking. Well equipped kitchen and well stocked throughout. Comfy beds. Very clean. Great communication with owners.

We love the home on the harbor! This is our third year renting from these wonderful owners, and we love coming to Whidbey for family reunion time every August. The house is beautifully clean and decorated. The windows allow for so much light and screens for breeziness. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and eating inside or outside allows for enjoying the amazing view. I enjoyed fresh picked blackberries in my morning smoothies from the bushes near the house. The beach is a few steps away for walking at low tide. Mishele is super attentive and responsive if anything comes up. We find it a very relaxing, comfortable and soothing place to stay.

Gorgeous views from the spacious wrap around deck. Quick walk down the path to the beach. Fun playground 5 minutes away for the grandkids. The kitchen is outfitted with so many amenities not found in the VRBO’s we have stayed at before. Stayed here for two weeks and hated to leave this peaceful property on Whidbey.

What a wonderful home, location, and homeowner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay including three adults and four children, ages 9-2. You will find absolutely everything you need already provided in this home. We even forgot candles to celebrate our two-year-olds birthday with cake, and we found some in the kitchen cabinet! I did not think to bring sand toys, and did not ask. Mishele read my mind and told us about the outdoor toys in the shed! The home is right on the harbor and the description is accurate; the path there is short and easy. We played on the beach every day at high and low tide and all hours of the day. Watch out for slurpy ground that may steal your sandals as you chase toddlers. It was also a lovely surprise that a three minute walk on the harbor leads to a nice playground and park. My kids made friends everywhere we went; everyone is so friendly. There are carpeted steps between the top and bottom floors of the home and the rail has open spaces. However, Mishele provides a baby gate and baby fence in the closet downstairs, so we were able to baby/toddle-proof this area and we felt totally comfortable. This closet also included many other handy baby/toddler amenities such as a high chair, a potty seat, and step stools. There is also a pack-n-play with linens. We found a noise machine in the closet. This was more child gear in a rental than we had ever experienced before, and it was super helpful. Mishele and her family are warm and friendly. Mishele replies immediately and has great suggestions. We look forward to staying at Home on the Harbor again and again.

Had a wonderful time at this lovely home. It was comfortable, quiet, had a well supplied kitchen, gorgeous views, easy parking, nice beds and bedding, and is located in a perfect location. The wildlife around the house offered excellent entertainment. The firepit was great fun and being able to walk and sit on the beach enhanced our mini vacation. Highly recommend A Home on the Harbor.

Having rented homes on Whidbey Island for many years, this is by far the best one yet! The owners thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable. We were met upon arrival with a local bottle of wine and Pelligrino which we enjoyed on the deck looking out at the spectacular view of the harbor. The kitchen is well stocked. The beds are comfy with black out shades greatly appreciated with a 5 year old who wakes up at first light. The beach access was close and easy, perfect for a kayak launch which we were happy we brought with us. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, the birds chirping, the eagles flying overhead. Having the house in Freeland is perfectly situated on the island for access to anywhere you want to go. We really can’t wait to go back!

Very nice clean and cozy home. Beautiful view of the water and quiet neighborhood to just relax and chill. Owner is super friendly and responsive.

A well-appointed home with great common area located on a quiet lane. Convenient, clean, comfy. Owner very friendly and helpful. We appreciated the fully-equipped kitchen! We want to return!

This was the best place for a family respite for the holidays during COVID! This home is well appointed with everything you could possibly want/need! A cozy wood stove, private beach access, comfortable beds, games, puzzles, and excellent WiFi. A fantastic well stocked kitchen- we enjoyed cooking gourmet meals! What a delightful place and hosts were outstanding. What wonderful people and a wonderful home they are offering!

Our family of five with two pups had a great time staying at this cozy house by the water. The beach was right out back for our dogs to play and then there was plenty of hiking closeby. Mishele was a great and thoughtful host and even offered us late check-out, which we so appreciated. I look forward to returning with our paddle boards during the summer.

We are so thankful for such a great getaway! The house had everything we needed, was very clean and cozy, at a great location, and my kids and family all had a wonderful time!

Our family and friends had an amazing weekend! The wood stove, the big dining room table and open kitchen made for many moments together, sharing food and playing board games. The walk to the beach is very short, the Puget Sound is literally in the backyard. We will absolutely be back. Great vacation home for kids and families traveling together.

We had a beautiful week at a Home on the Harbor. We loved spending relaxing time, listening to the waves and walking on the beach with four generations of our family This is our third visit to this home and we LOVE it so much we can't wait to return.

Comfy Home, Spectacular view. We took our paddle boards out nearly every day. We cooked in the kitchen which was very well equipped. We enjoyed drinking coffee out on the deck. The hosts had thought of everything. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank You for having us.

Now more than ever, we appreciated the opportunity to have a retreat like this! The views of the harbor, watching the hummingbirds and eagles, smelling the fresh air was just what we needed. The home was super clean and had so many lovely details that made us feel welcome. Mishele goes above and beyond! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We left feeling refreshed!
