Mother’s Day weekend with 3 generations. We had a nice stay at this property. It was quite and peaceful, the fireplace was a nice bonus. Mattresses were comfortable and it was thoughtfully stocked. Easy to check in and out. We would stay again:)

Thank you, Deborah! We're glad you enjoyed the view and the cozy, forest-like setting. We appreciate your feedback on the house and beds, and we'll consider that as we continue to improve. We’d love to have you stay again!
The property is beautiful and gathering spaces are airy and spacious. The kitchen is very functional as are the 1.5 baths. We loved the washer and dryer and then relaxing on the wraparound deck. All of the neighborhood friends (deer, bunnies and quail) plus lots of birds were a part of each day. The area is very quiet and neighbors were friendly. We had a great time. Many thanks.

Beautifully appointed home with large deck area. Very comfortable and clean. Feels private and secluded. Great family home and neighborhood. Three minute walk to large grassy play area and beach. Great mid island location for day trips to all Whidbey Island has to offer.

Beautiful house inside a quiet and adorable neighborhood. Right in the middle of Whidbey so you can easily access everything. And only 10 mins from downtown Coupeville. A short walk from a private beach that has large, beautiful shells all along the shore. The house had everything we needed and plenty of space. We came during a very hot time, so it did get quite toasty inside the house for a couple days because there is no AC. But it cooled down in the evenings. Great big patio that we enjoyed sitting on to watch the sunrise and sunset. Overall we throughly enjoyed it and would definitely visit again!

Thank you for choosing one of our vacation rentals. We hope we can help you with a future stay on the island.
This house is very nicely furnished, plenty of room to spread out, stellar views from the deck and big windows, and all in a very walkable community. The place was well stocked and ultimately we had an incredible time here. Unfortunately, the place was not clean. The bedding and bathroom, most important, we're five. But the living rooms and kitchen supplies and dishes were just plain dirty. Hopefully this was a one time slip up, but I can't honestly give a great review of a place without mentioning you night need to wash dishes before using them.Still, I think the hosts desire to make this a nice place and I would still recommend it based on the positives.The

We sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues you encountered—this is not the standard we strive for. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will address this to ensure a better experience in the future. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for an even better stay!
This is a spectacular house! It is quite large with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. It is lovely, well appointed and beautiful in every way. We spent a week and did not want to leave.We found the upstairs very comfortable and nice. We did not discover the downstairs until the last day when we did a load of laundry....it was very cold down there and we were surprised to find another bedroom and bathroom!We never did find the heating controls for downstairs.We found a few items that had been overlooked by housekeeping and relayed the details back to owner for follow up.If we ever are able to return to Whidbey Island, I would definitely stay here. The views are stunning, sunrise, sunset, clouds, eagles, trees, deer and bunnies! Its all good and a wonderful escape. Enjoy!

We have stayed here twice and it is the nicest house we have ever stayed in. I think it could get hot in the summer peak, as it only has ceiling fans, but wasn’t an issue when we stayed. TV has many options and kitchen is well stocked. The market in Coupeville is ten minutes away and has a great selection of food, including fish and local veggies. Management company is first class.

The place was as described the main issue is when the jets are flying the house is located in their flight path, the first night flew at low altitude until 10 pm it was very loud. The home has a great view and a really nice deck to enjoy the wildlife other than the jets it was a nice place.

Thank you for your feedback. Our apologies go out to this guest for the jet noise. The navy puts out a flight schedule a week or 2 in advance and we encourage furture guests to inquire with our office in advance to get the schedule. They do not fly on weekends and holidays and they typically alternate their flight patterns so even if they are flying a few days in a row, they typically don't fly over the same neighborhoods each day.

This was a very beautiful and quiet place to be. I loved sitting in the living room during the daytime and watching the snow fall. Loved the close proximity to beach walking.
The only downside to this property, in my opinion, is no window coverings on living room windows. I was not comfortable sitting in living room after dark.

Eagles Watch is the perfect location for exploring all parts Whidbey Island. The house is very clean and comfortable, even in a storm, with a power outage. The kitchen could use a little updating but the house is well stocked and supplied. There is a noisy but effective forced air heating system located under the queen bedroom that took a little getting use to but as mentioned, it’s effective! Property managers were responsive and easy to work with. We would stay there again.

Our family owned a cabin in this community 40 years ago. We were familiar with this cabin as it was one of the originals in the community. Lots of memories. We stayed four nights and the cabin was very comfortable for four people. The kitchen pots and pans could use an update but we were provided with everything we needed for our stay. The community common areas are well maintained and our Grandson enjoyed the playground.
