Wonderful location! Love seeing all the wildlife. Situated between Oak Harbor and Coupeville is good for activities and food. Short drive to visit Langley. Best ice cream around is in Coupeville at Kapaws Iskreme. Three Sisters local market at the corner carries Whidbey Pies! Captain Whidbey's has delicious fine dining and signature drinks. The dark chocolate gateau is a must.

Julie and Peter go out of their way to make sure your stay is comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need, the beds are clean, the bathrooms have extra stuff in case you forget something, the second room has stuff for little kids, and the overall spot is fantastic. The view from the house over the bay is gorgeous and the private beach made it so we had very little to worry about while everyone explored. Its conveniently located between Oak Harbor and Coupeville with both being about 10 mins away. This is a spot to revisit once you find it!

If I was making another trip to Whidbey, without question, I would choose Sandpiper Haven again and again. The location was perfect for exploring all of Whidbey and beyond. Communication was excellent. Sandpiper Haven was very clean, kitchen and bathrooms very well stocked and we felt the comforts of home. We enjoyed the private beach and view of Penn Cove from the privacy of the back deck. It was wonderful. Thank you for extending your home to us and the attention to all the details!

Great communication with the host. The Haven is well stocked w/amenities, linens, favorite small appliances, and entertainment options (get outside!). Great central locations to enjoy every trail on the island. Most surprised to find quite a few of our favorite books on the shelves, including an ancient one on the children's shelf that I had read in grammer school.
