House was clean with great views of the water, boats, wildlife. We saw nine deer at one point in the yards back of the house. Getting to the beach was difficult for elderly or challenged. A short, wooden vertical ladder was attached to the bulkhead to the beach.

Nine deer at once with water views beyond, that's quite the backyard show! Thank you for the note on beach access, which we've shared with our team so guests with mobility needs can plan accordingly. Come back anytime!

I love Mutiny Bay, I wish I was still there. Going up, we stayed at the resort just a few lots south. The resort is gone, but there is two multi-million dollar homes in it's place. I spent many hours fishing from that dock over the years. Mostly with hand lines. That is the only place I wanted to retire.I do have a idea about a few grab bars and please fix the kitchen faucet. Also, I wish I could have made it to the water. The home was great, but it had too many steps up and down that I couldn't navigate safely. All in all it was a wonderful place. And the deer were a great touch. Thank you. PKH

Returning to the Mutiny Bay waters you fished from for all those years, hand lines and all, makes this stay something special, and we're touched the home could bring you back! Thank you for the thoughtful suggestions on grab bars and the faucet, both shared with our team, since getting you safely to the water matters. The deer send their regards, and we'd be honored to welcome you back to the bay.

My review is two distinct parts, first the property. This is a great small cabin steps to the water. It's very clean with basic but lovely appointments. Kitchen has new implements and pans, though note that it's a basic salt/pepper set-up without extra pantry basics - bring everything to cook. We loved the gas fireplace and of course the outside view and setting. Easy to find, close to lots of great parts of Whidbey. My concerns are not with the owners or the property itself which I generally would return to, but rather the property management. Management at a distance by a large company in this case meant repeated automated texts to ask me to do tasks I already completed making me reply multiple times and really dropping the ball when I notified them that the water was going to be turned off for a day (no, we were not notified in advance) and I asked for bottled water to be delivered. They acknowledged the request but never acted on it. Just left us hanging. When you deal with an owner directly, it's a far more personal experience and more likely to be responsive. Come for the house, but be advised on the communication challenges you may encounter.

Thank you for this thoughtful two part review. The cabin steps from the water with its gas fireplace clearly earned your affection, and we're glad for that. Your experience with our communication did not, and fairly so. Repeated automated texts and an acknowledged water request that never arrived are process failures we take seriously, and both have been escalated so our responsiveness matches the personal care this cabin deserves. We'd welcome the chance to show you the difference on a return visit!

We had a wonderful stay at this beach house and it made for a perfect birthday getaway. The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the beach and beautiful views that made it easy to relax and unwind.The house had everything we needed for a great stay, and it was clear the hosts put thought into making guests feel welcome. It was a great place to spend time together and celebrate a special occasion.We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful beach escape and would happily stay here again.

Great communication, easy checkin/out.Gorgeous setting with the beach right there. Highly recommended this cabin for a laid-back long weekend. Kitchen tools were excellent and the knives were actually sharp!!!Watch your step as you head to the beach though- there isn’t really a graceful step down or up the little head wall. Overall a great getaway and we’d come here again.

Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the easy check-in and communication, and that you were able to take full advantage of the gorgeous beachfront setting. It’s especially great to hear the kitchen tools (and the sharp knives!) stood out — we know how much that matters for a relaxing long weekend away. We also truly appreciate you pointing out the step down to the beach. That’s helpful feedback, and we’ll look into ways we can make that transition safer and more seamless for guests. We’d absolutely love to host you again for another laid-back getaway anytime!

This sweet cottage had everything we needed for a great getaway to the island! Our favorites were that it was impeccably clean, kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment and the furniture was comfortable! And the location was as fantastic, we loved sitting out on the beachfront deck with coffee and under the covered deck when it was drizzling. We’re looking forward to coming back in the summer!

The stay provided an incredible space that allowed our family to gather for a celebration of life event. The deck alone is capable of earning a 5-star review; on top of that, the house, amenities, options, and management team provided a great experience. Every morning, we were flanked by Bald Eagles and drive-by swims from Harbor Seals.

The view is what makes this place great. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment, dishes and silverware. The shower was hot and has great pressure and the beds were comfortable but a bit warm. There was an ant issue. Traps were under counters but spray for guests would have been helpful. Young people would have no problem getting onto the beach but it was too much for my 86yo mil to get down. We had to go to the public county park for her to get on the beach. Communication with management was great.
Deck at the wooden bulk head. The deck is about 4ft from the sand at the time we were there.

Thank you for the thoughtful review. We're so glad you enjoyed the views, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and the strong shower pressure. It's also great to hear that communication with our team was helpful during your stay. We appreciate you mentioning the ants and will share this with our team so they can continue addressing it. Thank you as well for noting the beach access—while many guests enjoy the path, we understand it can be more challenging for those with mobility limitations, and the nearby county park is a great alternative. We're glad your group still had a nice stay and hope to host you again in the future.

Nice beachfront location. Great place to watch the tide come in and out. Amazing communication with the local team! It was rather warm, and they immediately provided me with a fan. Extremely clean and comfortable kitchen and living room. The only issue we had was that there is absolutely no storage in either bedroom for clothes. You need to be prepared to work out of your suitcase. This wasn't a problem for us because we were only a party of 2, so we used the other bedroom. 4 adults with 4 suitcases in this cozy home would be challenging.

A Truly Great Experience/ Stay

From the moment we pulled into the well-manicured yard and walked to the back entrance, we were impressed. The hosts had thought of so many little extras, and the decor was absolutely darling. We were delighted to find beautiful fresh flowers and upgraded bath lotions and soaps that smelled just like a spa. The cottage was also impeccably clean and had no strong odors, which is so important for those with allergies.What truly sets this little cottage apart from the rest we considered is its amazing location. It is just steps outside the back door to the water! We enjoyed bringing our own groceries and barbecuing every night, sipping cocktails and chatting with the friendly neighbors. (the groceries here are very expensive, so we were happy we brought the cooler).It was such a pleasure and so relaxing to watch the deer, eagles, and sea hawks. The cute little sea lion was an added bonus!This amazing location is close to so many things, and our stay truly exceeded all of our expectations. The only thing we were disappointed with was when our stay was over! We give it a 5-star rating! Thank you for such a great experience.Note: the furniture is made for small spaces, could not open/ sleep with doors opened in one of the bedrooms/ no screens. No screens on the patio doors- they may want to get something like that installed, also a nice ceiling fan to move the air around …because we could not leave patio doors open.

Our time at this sweet place was amazing! The cottage is extremely clean, very well furnished both in kitchen, toiletries, plenty of towels. It was important that we were on the water and it was exactly as the photo show. The neighborhood was very quiet and had lots of wildlife: deer, rabbits, seals, bald eagles on a daily basis. We went to Oak Harbor, Langley, and Coupeville… lots of fun, restaurants and interesting shops. I can't wait to go back!

What a dreamy stay—deer, seals, and bald eagles on the daily sounds absolutely magical! We're so glad the cottage delivered on every front, from the spotless, well-stocked space to that unbeatable waterfront setting that matched the photos exactly. It sounds like you made the most of Whidbey, too, with Oak Harbor, Langley, and Coupeville all on the itinerary. We can't wait to welcome you back for more wildlife and island charm anytime!
