Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Are you ready to get away from it all and enjoy a truly peaceful retreat? This waterfront, family-friendly home is ready to provide you the best experience ever! With two levels full of comfort, great amenities, and a prime location right in front of Penn Cove (views are simply out of this world), your getaway to Coupeville will be unforgettable. Start your mornings off on the right foot with a delicious and steamy cup of coffee in the deck as you take in unparalleled Penn Cove views. Later, you can treat your guests to a tasty homemade meal prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen. What's better than snuggling up on the sofa after lunch? Nothing! The set of inviting sofas in the living room is the perfect place to unwind and recharge batteries before heading out to explore Coupeville. You can turn on the flatscreen TV and watch something fun. The waterfront firepit is another great place to gather with your friends–prepare some hot beverages (or cold, if you visit during summer) and roast some s'mores as you all enjoy the marvelous views and share fun stories. And that’s not it! Heron House on the Cove features four work stations if you need to catch up with work or if your kids need to do some homework. There are two fold-up desks in addition to a small desk in the kids’ room and kitchen table.

What's nearby:
Welcome to the historic and charming village of Coupeville, the perfect location to disconnect from reality and experience a quiet and relaxing vacation. You'll be sitting right in front of Penn Cove. A must-visit here is the nearby The Coupeville Wharf (350 yards); it's a symbol of the seafaring days of yore. There you can find a working boat dock, The Salty Mug (coffee shop), a gift store, and a restaurant. Roughly 350 yards as well is downtown Coupeville where you'll find a dozen restaurants, cafes and coffee houses, art galleries, clothing boutiques, and home design stores. Learn about this village's rich history at the Island County Historical Society Museum (350 yards away as well).

Amazing location
The Heron House is well appointed inside, but the true delights are outside: the deck, the view, the wildlife, the water...! Amazing. We had a couple of issues, a broken shower door and no propane, but these were taken care of quickly, and other than that our visit was outstanding. We'll be back very soon.

Nice house. Great location. LOUD plumbing problem nearly ruined it all
There is much to like about the Heron House. It is right on the water, and it is a five-minute walk to restaurants. But, there was a serious deal-breaker. There is a plumbing problem - when any water runs there was a loud noise that shook the floor in the kitchen. Very, very loud. Annoying, but not terrible. Here's the terrible part. It went off several times, for a period of hours, in the middle of the night. We couldn't sleep. We were about to leave and find another place to stay when we figured out why the plumbing noise went off in the middle of the night. We discovered that the downstairs toilet leaked - and so it was constantly refilling the tank - all day and all night. Once we figured that out, we just shut off the water to the downstairs toilet. It was a bit of an inconvenience, but better than the constant racket. It gets worse: Vacasa was not very helpful. Text messages got robo-replies. They were of no help in figuring out the problem. We were told that the owner was aware that there was a problem - which means that the owner just chose to do nothing about it. There were other minor problems, but discussing them is like complaining about the arrangement of the deck chairs on the Titanic. Nice house. Nice location. Don't rent it again until the plumbing gets fixed. And, Vacasa, you need better customer service.

Spectacular Views!
The views of the water and wildlife from every window were amazing! The kitchen was well stocked. Coupeville is an adorable little town. The home could use a good deep clean.
