The cabin was beautiful and in a wonderful location. Only concern was that therhermostats in the bedrooms did not work, so the heat could not be regulated, so either had to be on or off.

This property has a beautiful view of Penn Cove. For four it was a perfect setup: two bedrooms with two bathrooms. Within walking distance there is restaurant & bar that’s open Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Nice hot tub on the deck, beautiful fireplace in the living room. Very relaxing, private and clean. Hosts were very attentive and would check in to make sure your visit was going great and if you needed anything.

We actually were moved because of an electrical issue with the home. The company was incredible in assuring our visit went off without a hitch and the alternate home was amazing

We had a great stay at this property on Whidbey. Centrally located, quiet area yet walking distance to to Captain Whidbey Inn for dinner one night. Saw seals, crab, Mt. Baker and beautiful sunsets all from the property. Wonderful spot for our family vacation!

The view was amazing from inside and from the deck. We enjoyed the peacefulness and watching wildlife from otters to eagles.
We had an amazing time staying at the Cove Cottage and centrally located on Whidbey, nothing is further away than 45 minutes! May have to stay here again if we make it up here again!

Myself and two friends stayed over a stormy weekend and had a fun cozy and relaxing time. The fireplace was a nice warm welcome and added to our evening playing games and laughing. The hot tub was nice, clean and hot. The beds were comfortable and the towels and linens clean.

It's great to hear the fireplace added to your evenings of games and laughter, and that you found the hot tub, beds, towels, and linens to your satisfaction. We hope to host you again for more memorable getaways!
Nice home for our girls weekend (old lady weekend). Everything we needed in the kitchen, comfy beds and nice bathrooms. We were here in November so the big picture windows gave us great views of the stormy weather. This home is right in the middle of Whidbey Island so you can explore north or south with ease. Good communication with the host. My only disappointment was the beautiful picture showing the beach. Access to the beach was non existent. Perhaps because of our weather. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and I would certainly rent here again!

We came for a long weekend, and we had a great time! We did think the beach was easy to walk down to like the pictures imply but between the snow and ice and steep edge it was not, also the lighting in the house makes cooking a bit tough, we had to move a lamp on top of the fridge, if there were new day light bulbs in the kitchen that would have helped, all the bulbs were miss-matched and dim…All in all a great stay! Loved the town and cabins views!

We appreciate your feedback about beach access in winter conditions and the lighting in the kitchen—we'll take a look at how we can improve that for future guests. Your insights are really helpful, and we’d love to host you again!
Loved the property! The cottage was clean and well appointed. Just rustic enough (e.g. no dishwasher and fireplace was wood burning vs gas). The hot tub was clean and perfect for sitting and reading. The picture windows had wonderful water views. There was even an eagle’s nest overhead with eaglets! My friend and I like weekend getaways to Coupeville and this location is our favorite so far! Beds are comfy too!
