This property was the best pet friendly option and value that I have been able to find thus far in the pacific northwest.The host provided a high quality almond milk to go with the high quality teas and coffee options.The TV streaming options were a great option when it was time to relax.We had deer right outside our door that were not afraid of humans or our barking dogs.

Just what my wife and I needed! The two of us are local, but needed a getaway while contractors tore our bathroom apart. Coupeville is a wonderful place to visit, and this property is an excellent choice for small families traveling with a pet. The communication from the host is fantastic, the check in process is quick and easy, and the property is wonderfully decorated and admonished with thoughtful gestures to help enhance your stay. Thank you so much Susan for your time and allowing us to stay at your lovely cottage!

A lovely stay

We had a great time staying here with our pets. It's a very quiet place and we enjoyed the freedom that the kitchenette offers as it is well supplied. The view of the water from the big window is amazing during sunset. Also really close to town!
There was comfortable space for my dog, which is a huge benefit.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Upchurch

Host profile image
We spent most of our lives in Sonoma County, CA - but a road trip to help friends move led to discovering beautiful Whidbey Island and historic Coupeville. We immediately began a search for our future retirement location, and within 3 months found the perfect spot. Over the next decade plus, we rented the main house and stayed in the cottage while we finished our careers…finally making a permanent move in 2021. We love living in this friendly small town in an incredibly beautiful setting.

Why they chose this property

Living so close to the water is a dream come true. We are a short 2 blocks from the water in a quiet neighborhood…many deer and rabbits call our yard home. The community is idyllic, and the natural beauty astounding no matter the weather…so many amazing parks and hiking trails are available, and we take advantage of them all.

What makes this property unique

The home and cottage are both circa 1900. Completely renovated in the 90s, the cottage is filled with historic photos of the area and antiques. Our home is a work in progress, but the cottage is comfortable and up to date. We love our pets, with 4 small rescue dogs and a kitty…they are often in the yard during the day, so communication is important if you bring your fur baby. We have a pet protocol which involves single word texts to one another to avoid any contact with our pack and your pet!
