Wonderful stay

I've stayed at Karen's VRBO multiple times, and it's always a treat! I revisit Whidbey every year and stay here every time. Great amenities: full kitchen with all your needs: full fridge, oven, W/D, parking spot, spacious apartment. Not to mention, an amazing view. I highly recommend--double thumbs up!

Just Perfect!

The property was lovely and the view was even better than I expected. It was a very well appointed kitchen and cooking was easy. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was roomy. Best of all our hosts, Sean and Karen, were very anxious to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We will be very happy to return in the future!

Very pleasant getaway

We were lucky to find such a lovely place on short notice. The large property is situated near state parks and beaches but we needed a car for most activities. Thank you to the owners who put a lot of care into their home and vacation rental.

Whidbey Island Retreat

This is a quiet location tucked back with an amazing view of Penn Cove... I traveled for work but was able to sneak in quite a bit of fun on Whidbey Island. Proprietors are unobtrusive however I did feel guilty with all our comings and goings as I myself am a night owl.

Great Way to Wake Up!

The morning view was a great way to start each day. While I was fortunate enough to have great weather for most days of my stay, but even on the few cloudy days it was breathtaking. The studio apartment was the perfect place to stay during my two weeks of workshops nearby. Clean, well-appointed accommodations and helpful friendly hosts.

Everything here was excellent! Beautiful view of Saratoga Passage right out back! Great location on Whidbey Island. This studio apartment was spotless and had every possible amenity one could want. Very comfortable bed and awesome shower! Many small creatures such as deer and rabbits hanging out in beautiful property. Everything exceeded my expectations!

Whidbey Island

Oak Harbor is a great location to explore the island. We weren’t at the property many hours of each day, since we wanted to go to the beaches and see the towns, Deception Pass, the Sculpture Garden and the Lighthouse. Every evening the deer and rabbits would forage on the lawn outside our unit. The unit was well equipped for making all our meals. This was particularly important for us due to severe food allergies.

Wonderful Accommodations !

This property is a delightful "home base" after a busy day of sightseeing ! Very nicely furnished & decorated ! Large bathroom, full kitchen, spacious bedroom area & open living area & wonderful yard & patio ! Karen was very helpful with knowledge of the local sites, & she has lots of brochures, pamphlets & maps. The neighborhood is great for walking, & getting out of the downtown area is a nice break. Our friends were jealous of our location, compared with their typical hotel rooms ! Rent it ~ it's great !

Awesome!

Our stay here was fabulous! The hosts are wonderful people. The neighbors are very friendly. It was quiet with an occasional Navy fighter jet flying by, which I love. The jets were not noisy enough to deter us from ever going back. The view! What can I say. Waking up every morning to an incredible water view was amazing. The weather was in the 70's. It was perfect!

Quiet neighborhood, view of the water

The property is a large studio in the daylight basement of a house. There is a little bit of noise when the owners walk around upstairs but not much. They were very responsive to our questions/needs. The neighborhood is nice for walking and the location is central on Whidbey Island for exploring. Our primary purpose of the visit was to escape the fireworks insanity in Auburn, Washington. Although were were a few prior to the 4th and a fair amount on the 4th itself, it was nothing compared to Auburn. We enjoyed our visit and sites around Whidbey Island.

Great home base

My husband and I wanted a home base to relax in the evenings after hiking and adventuring all day. We would leave every morning and come back in the evening. The place was easy to get to, wonderful views, and easily big enough for the two of us. The bathroom could get a little chilly but the rest of the unit was fine. Karen did a good job decorating and checking on us almost daily. I probably would have cooked more if there had been a dishwasher but I knew there was not one when I booked the place. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the mornings and evenings spent in Karen's place. An added touch was the hiking book that she allowed us to use while there. It was very helpful.

Amazing!

Karen and Sean are amazing host! Quick to help and answer any questions you may have and will check on you on occasion to see how you are doing without being overbearing. The space you have, starting with parking. You can easily fit four vehicles in the driveway that is given to you for the rental. The yard is big! I have three daughters and they would play outside all day. Karen owns the book store on Pioneer and can give you some great recommendations for books if you're big on reading and, even if you're not the rental has a lot of books inside that are all great reads. The view is breathtaking and will hit you with a huge sense of calm. My daughters loved the wild life that you'll see here. Ranging from deer, rabbits, Bald eagles, seagulls, and a mix of others and with the set of binoculars that are a part of the rental you will see more. Sean will let you know of events going on around town or great places to take the family for sight seeing, picnics, or just walks. The rental and owners are amazing, I would recommend this place and by extension Karen and Sean to everyone.

Beautiful Views, Nasty Host

As promised, the views are spectacular, eagles soar outside the windows, dear graze outside the windows; also outside the windows all day long: the host's husband, walking, by peering in. The cute little fireplace pictured? Also the only source of heat which they will ask you to use sparingly when they greet you upon arrival. That may be fine for summer but not great when you've booked 2 months in the winter & it's 27° out. They also asked us to not use the brighter lights to "save money" and to only do laundry once a week & shower sparingly. If these had been eco-conscious requests, I would have understood but it was all about not costing them any money when I paid them to stay there for 2 months. Not a great start. Then we had a misunderstanding about my daughter's ESA service animal. We didn't realize we had to register the animal as staying with us. When the host realized we had a service cat with us, she flipped out, & threatened to throw us out immediately, halfway through our stay, but instead offered to charge an extra/additional cleaning fee to let us stay. We signed an agreement. A week later, we were shocked when she & her husband again came early one morning and threatened to throw us out again because, unbeknownst to us, our car had supposedly leaked a fluid on her driveway. After calling customer service to ask if this was even allowed, she retaliated by evicting us the next evening, one month early, no where to go, in the rain, with no refund! She was rude, nasty, and abusive--even telling my daughter that she (the host) didn't have time to "laze around all day in bed" like her, despite having been told of her disabilities, chronic pain & fatigue and that she was "sick of us" despite having only met us 4 times (unlike her husband whom we ran into daily). Guests beware. If you don't mind having these people peering in the windows at all times and making strange demands, then you might enjoy your stay. We, obviously, did not!

The owners were really nice and provided fresh fruit for us. The space is large and the kitchen has everything you need. I did not give 5 stars because the bed had a rubber mattress protector which was very uncomfortable and noisy.

Wonderful getaway

It's always a magical time visiting Whidbey Island, and Karen and Shawn's makes the visit just perfect. Beautiful view and great location. It's like going home at the end of every day, and makes it very different from going back to a hotel. I've been there a few times now and brought my fiance with me this year--he was blown away by both the Island and our lodging for the trip. A gem of a home on Whidbey!

Wonderful

The view, the peace and quiet and coziness of the property was everything I needed. The hosts, Karen and Shawn were so welcoming, both were always concerned about my comfort, really I felt more like family than there guest. Karen and Shawn’s property feels like a world away, yet conveniently located within minutes of shopping, sightseeing and eateries. My only regret is I did not get to take advantage of the outdoor fire pit, winter weather. I highly recommend this beautiful property to anyone looking to get away and reconnect with nature, I will be back!
