Experience the wondrous natural beauty of Whidbey Island at this perfectly located Coupeville escape, the lower garden level of a Northwest-style cabin. You'll have a patio and a grassy lawn right outside your door, as well as spectacular views of sailboat races, holiday fireworks, and the twinkle of city lights across Penn Cove. Wake up to the sun rising over the water each morning, and spend your days kayaking, crabbing, and paddleboarding from the nearby community beach. Return back to comfortable furnishings, a fireplace, a TV, and a kitchenette with bar seating. The shared hot tub is the perfect space to unwind before getting a good night's rest - another great day sits on the horizon!

This comfortable property faces eastward, allowing it to receive the warmth of the morning sun. It's a short stroll (or a quick, easy drive downhill) to the community's private beach. This home is also close to the charming shops and restaurants in downtown Coupeville (three miles west), the stunning waterfront hiking trail at Ebey's Landing (five miles west), Fort Casey State Park (six miles south), the ever-popular Whidbey Pies Cafe at Greenbank Farm (nine miles south), and darling downtown Langley (24 miles southeast).

Better places to stay
This basement 1 bedroom, can be a great place to stay, if the it were cleaned properly. When we arrived, we noticed the comforter was not clean, so we pulled back the sheets. They were dirty, went to replace them, but the next set had blood stains, we continued to look, finally found a clean set. We made the bed and bought a new comforter. The blue couch pictured is awful smelling. We placed sheets on it and did not sit on it. Don’t look up, we did and were surprised to see not just 1 or 2 dead bugs in the light fixture but a dozen. The hot tub did not look safe to use, very cloudy and strong smell of bleach. We were discouraged by this unit but hope this review finds the right set of eyes to address the cleanliness of this unit. It can be so cute, if cleaned and smelled better. There are better places to stay.

The booking being occupied when we arrived. After we entered the unit, we found other people's possessions and were soon followed in by the owner of these possessions. He said he had a confirmed reservation for the property and spoke with the owners when he arrived. We spent over an hour on the phone talking to Vacasa. It turns out the tenants who were renting the main house had occupied the basement unit that we had reserved, since there is a staircase that connects them. We were told that once we enter the unit we could lock the door to the stairs that went upstairs, but we couldn't because we didn't have the key. About an hour later some people arrived to clean the unit, and they told us that the key was in the main house. So even if the upstairs tenants hadn't entered the unit that night and taken it over, they could have entered it any time during our stay. This was incredibly distressing, and is a safety issue. This situation could have easily become hostile dangerous, the tenants were outside and saw us enter the unit, and immediately followed us in and confusion ensued regarding the booking. The host refunded some of the fees, I requested one of the nights be refunded due to the safety issue and the impact on our stay. They ignored my texts ever since. I tried Expedia, since that's how I found the property, but I was told they couldn't help because I didn't contact them within 24 hours, even though I contacted Vacasa since they were the number listed on the booking.

Paper Thin Walls and Poor Process
The walls are paper thin, so even having reasonable upstairs neighbors was keeping us awake. You could hear every footstep and even setting a glass down. The converted home is not suitable for multi family. I had to sign a contract with an international company to rent the space and they communicated various and misleading info via app, two different emails, and text of which only one of them did they respond poorly to. I asked for late checkout multiple times and got an unaware answer about late check out on a day I was not renting. They will also ask you to do laundry for you own room upon your departure. I paid you for hotel experience, not to help you accomplish your work. Whole experience seemed owner-centric and devoid of any customer service. The view was nice, the bed was good, there was some good touches along the way. Furniture does not match photos.

Quaint little place
A nice enough place, but could’ve been quieter. Pros- comfortable bed, cozy feeling throughout, beautiful views, internet was reliable and streaming without issue, plenty of places to relax/unwind. Cons- parking spot is very small and almost impossible to get to if other guests there, you can hear a lot of walking upstairs

Beautiful area and enjoyable property. It wasn’t entirely clear from the booking that the unit was a basement unit. But otherwise it was very clean and enjoyed the stay!
