Just overnight, but wonderful

Booked this place at the last minute for a weekend overnight for Father's Day and it was fantastic. Wish we could have stayed longer, but lack of planning on my part. Host and house were friendly and great! Glad we did this.

Just what was advertised and just what we needed

First, John was a great host; responsive, professional and friendly! We needed a quiet spot to spread out a bit and catch up with old friends. The properties deck, comfy couches and 2 bedrooms/bathrooms was perfect.

Wonderful!

We really enjoyed our time here! The view is great, and we slept great! The whole house has a relaxed cozy vibe to it with that cabiny feel. Loved having acess to a fully stocked pantry - we made use of it and had an amazing breakfast. Also, the host John was great to work with. 10/10 would stay again.

Perfect chalet on the edge of Deception Pass State Park

We came for a Change of Command at NAS Whidbey Island and the location was perfectly located between the base and our other events. Being near Deception Pass, we took advantage of going into the park, early morning you could see deer. Both in the park and in the yard. The photos accurately describe the chalet, it is beautiful and rustic. We didn’t cook much but the kitchen was well equipped if you so desired to do so. John is wonderful to work with, responding quickly when needed. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Relaxing retreat tucked into a scenic quiet bay. John & Marge were excellent hosts and the chalet is setup wonderfully. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck enjoying the view and peaceful surroundings and walking down to the state marina. We will definitely stay here the next time we visit the island!

The house truly was a home in the most positive of ways. It was warm, well equipped. And the owner was quite helpful when needed. Had a few great suggestions of places to go. Only thought is that we could have used some directions on the bidets and the upstairs shower. All in all a great place. Thanks

Check-in: Easy. Kitchen was very well stocked with cooking implements and dishes—would like a non- metal implement (turner) to use with nonstick pans. Wifi- very reliable. Host was very accommodating. Simple, undemanding check-out. Note: upstairs shower/jacuzzi was a challenge to use for seniors. Downstairs bathroom/shower worked fine for other occupants. Short-term stays recommended—storage for luggage, clothing is limited. Overall, a lovely, comfortable place in a wonderful, beautiful area.

About the host

Hosted by John Fuik

Host profile image
My wife Marjorie and I are both retired. Marjorie as a legal secretary/paralegal, and myself, I spent 8 years on active duty, another 19 at Bayliner Yachts, and another 10 as a maintenance director for 4 retirement communities. We've been pretty active most of our lives raising 2 boys. Living in this area, that involved a lot of boating activities, camping, and hiking. After the boys left, we decided to build a house in Cornet Bay, Whidbey Is. Wa. on a piece of property we acquired. We hit the road in a 36ft Country Coach for a year, and got as far as Virginia Beach, before covid sent us home. Looking for more road adventures.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I built this house, with a little help from our 2 sons. We think the location is heaven, and have pinched ourselves for 15 years. This offers us an opportunity to share this wonderful place with other people, while giving us some financial reward for the upkeep of the home. We love our motorhome, and look forward to staying there, while the home is rented.

What makes this property unique

The number of activities so close at hand are amazing. Bird watching is done from our deck. 5 types of raptors frequent our skies, and marine shorebirds and ducks call Cornet Bay home. There's a marina at the bottom of the hill. The trail for the Hoypus Point old growth forest, is accessed at the top of our street. No park fees, because you're technically in the park. Jet boat tours under Deception Pass bridge depart at the state park dock at the bottom of hill. Long for the ocean waves crashing on the beach? West beach in Deception Pass state park is 2 miles west, in the other half of the park, which also boasts a freshwater lake adjacent to the beach for swimming and fishing. Pass lake is another fly only lake nearby, as is Deception pass golf center, a par 3 course only 2 miles away. Anacortes is a quaint old railroad/logging town, turned multi marina tourist attraction, with downtown shops, restaurants, and gift shops abound.
