We have stayed many times on Whidbey and try out different locations. This is definitely one we'd return to in the Coupeville area. The rental has simple and efficient furnishings that are well-kept. It's small but efficiently laid out and leans towards a "cabin" feel in the way the main area is. Kitchen has all the basics you'd need and in good shape (note, there is no dishwasher which wasn't a problem for two but could be something to consider for larger groups). The star of this property, of course, thus the name, is the deck and view. It faces pretty much due west so in late August the sunset was right in front of us. Nearly 180 degrees, it's a high bank treasure that you won't want to leave. Great outdoor furniture to relax on. As others note, it does get hot in house given the exposure, but there are fans and if you open up in the morning and close later it was fine. About 10 minutes to a grocery and other amenities. Right next to Fort Ebey Park which was fun to explore. There is a tenant below but we heard only the tiniest movement once or twice. A special place!

Gorgeous, clean house. However the sun beats down through the many windows. If the inside thermometer was correct, it was 86 degrees inside, while only 78 outside. We had our 3 kids with us, including a new baby, so trying to keep a room cool enough for her was stressful. A/C would of course be ideal, even a portable unit would help so much. At the very least, black out curtains! My husband actually hung sheets on the windows to try to help the situation. Beautiful house & property though

It is a million dollar view. The weather was perfect, lots of cruise ships, fishing boats and tankers to watch. The wildlife was plentiful from 2 bald eagle nests close by to deer and rabbits visiting the property. The house was very well stocked and we appreciated the bar-b-que even though we didn't cook that much. It's a lovely island with lots to see and many fine restaurants. Hints to future guests(nothing to do with the rental) but check the ferry schedule on line before heading out. Many ferries are canceled. We highly recommend this rental.

We enjoyed the expansive panorama of the Sound. The facilities of the rental matched information on VRBO website. A waste basket would be appreciated in Guest bedroom. The weather was sunny,very sunny ...the deck would be more comfortable with an sun umbrella. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to friends and family guest

Great location! House was as described. Kitchen was well stocked. Only comment was the slider to the deck was almost impossible. Really needs to be replaced, because it is the one thing used the most.

Nice time

This was a great fit for our family. A ten-minute walk down the street allowed us and our kids to explore the shore to their heart’s content. We didn’t have a chance to use the pool, but it looked like fun too. The beds were comfy and just about time I asked myself “where would I put this thing we need?” — I’d look and there it was. Wish we could have stayed longer…we left a lot to explore next time!

Lucky to have other family living on Whidbey Island and we gather every July 4th. We enjoyed all that Mother Nature offered during our stay.
