Crystal’s house is a sanctuary!

We loved staying there and celebrating our wedding with our close family. It’s on the end of a very quiet street. Bald eagles, otters, finches, crows, bunnies, herons were a delight to see! Everything in the house has been tastefully decorated and it has such a “homey” feel to it. 100% would stay here again! Crystal is a fantastic host, we really appreciated how accommodating she was, even helping us coordinate with our chef to make sure they had everything needed for our celebration.

Nature Lover's Paradise!

Our family of five stayed for the second time in this lovely, peaceful home. The beds are so comfortable and have wonderful bedding. The kitchen is fully stocked with basic needs as well as a plethora of spices. Communication with the owner is excellent and we were even treated to some fresh crab and a recommendation for an outing to the Bayview Nursery, which was awesome! Highly recommend! Will definitely stay again for a third time!

An amazing weekend with herons and bald eagles!

Heron's Crossing was a lovely place to catch up with family. Lovely to be right on Useless Bay, which we found quite useful for kayaking, paddle-boarding, and bird-watching. My sister and her friend even saw some orcas in the distance!

Island Paradise

This is the perfect home for a multi-generational family getaway. There was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy separate or joined activities, to prepare meals together, to decompress and enjoy. We loved viewing the wildlife out on the beach or from the large windows all over the house. Everything one would possibly need was provided, including very comfortable beds and linens. Will definitely book this again!

Multigenerational vacation

We had 3 generations of family vacationing together and this property could not have been more comfortable. There was plenty is safe play space for the toddlers, paddle boards and kayaks for the in-betweenness, and quite garden and patio spaces for those who wanted that experience. Chrystal thought of everything when outfitting this home for guests. We will be back to enjoy this very special spot.

Our family was in Whidbey for a family wedding and stayed 5 days. We have rented houses many times in the past and this house was by far the best ever! The location is perfect! Everything we needed was there. Beautiful views! Crystal is the best host we’ve ever had and she communicated with us throughout our stay and she was in Slovenia! Thank you Crystal!

Amazing stay on Sunlight Beach

This was our second time renting at Heron’s Crossing - we love it here! The house has everything you could want from a fully stocked kitchen, to puzzles and games for all ages, to kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets, and lawn games. All the bedrooms are beautiful! The yard and gardens are amazing and the views are out of this world. The kids had so much fun kayaking and paddle boarding on their own this time. We can’t wait to come back!

Simply Beautiful!

Probably the best rental we have ever stayed at - the location and views were GORGEOUS! The house is so so comfortable and the kitchen so well supplied that you actually won’t believe it’s a rental. My elderly parents had a spacious room on the main floor, our kids played cards at the big kitchen table into the night- just a superb place. Crystal was so accommodating and helped went above and beyond with our boat inquiries. We hope we will have a chance to return.

Fantastic Beach Home

The property was more than advertised. The house was located right on the beach with beautiful gardens front back. There was also a well-manicured lawn on the front that as perfect place for both kids and adults to play. The house itself was nicely furnished and had lots of windows providing great views of the beach. The kitchen was well stocked and to top it all off, the property owned provided a welcoming pie and bottle of wine. Highly recommend.

Beach Front Haven

We stayed at Heron Crossing in late September. We absolutely love Whidby Island, and what made this trip so perfect was the wonderful home we rented!! There were so many positives about this house, the location was at the end of a dead end road, the ocean at our doorstep, the grounds that were beautifully manicured and best of all the tastefully decorated interior that was so cozy. We loved each and every room in the house!! We have stayed in many Vrbo's over the years both internationally and in the US. This home was definitely one of our favorites. We hope to return next year!! Thank you, Dan and Dian Prentice

Best rental ever!

This is a wonderful, spacious, fully equipped house with beautiful grounds and lovely furnishings. One of the things I loved most was the layout - there were several areas, both inside and out, where we could gather as a group as well as a number of places people could go if they wanted to read by themselves or be alone. The kitchen is laid out so that three of us could prepare a meal together and not get in each other’s way and people who wanted to be outside could be on the deck, around the fire pit or in the tea house/playhouse if they were small enough! Crystal was great to work with - she’s warm, welcoming, left clear, detailed instructions and responded immediately on the few occasions I had questions. This rental experience was superb in every respect.
