Incredibly comfortable bed and stunning view from living room and one of the bedrooms, especially for the price. Really cute decor inside and patio has a great view as well.

A comfortable bed and a view worth waking up for — hard to ask for much more than that! We're glad the decor and patio added to the experience, and it's especially nice to hear the value felt right. Thank you for sharing such kind words, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again.

We enjoyed our stay. First time to Whidbey Island. The view fromCove Cottage is spectacular. Encountered some minor issues with the house (small fridge that leaks water and lights that dim every time you run an appliance), but it really just made us laugh, more than being a problem. I’d recommend this home.

A first Whidbey trip with Cove Cottage's spectacular view sounds like a great introduction to the island! We appreciate you taking the quirks in stride, and we've shared the fridge and lighting notes with our team to get both sorted. Thank you for the recommendation, and we'd love your return!

My friends and I had a wonderful time. The view of the lake and sounds of wild life was perfect. We enjoyed the hot tub and were able to see the stars. The house was clean, and the beds were comfy. I took full advantage of the kitchen. The house provided everything we needed and more.

Morning coffee with an exceptional view over the water sounds like the kind of peaceful start that makes a stay memorable. It's wonderful that the cottage was so well equipped, and that those two full baths added an extra bit of ease. So glad it was the quiet, restful escape you were after — we'd love to welcome you back anytime.

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.

Beautiful stay on Whidbey Island

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.
