I really appreciated the VRBO accommodation at Whidbey Island in Greenbank. It was a pleasant and enjoyable stay, with a stunning view and peaceful surroundings. The presence of wildlife was both a relief and a joy to experience—such a refreshing change from the desert landscapes of the Middle East. We especially loved the cool, gentle breeze at night and the warm, sunny air that greeted us each morning.

We enjoyed our stay and found the home very suitable for what we needed. The location was especially convenient for us, with easy access to both Coupeville and Freeland. It was quiet and peaceful, roomy enough for us to spend time together comfortably, play cards, watch movies, and just relax.The house was well stocked with towels and shower supplies, and we appreciated having Roku available on the television. We also liked having cooking areas both upstairs and downstairs, although it took us a little while to figure out where everything was and which kitchen setup worked best for us.There are a few things future guests may want to know. The upstairs bed was comfortable, but it is extremely low to the floor and very soft, which made getting in and out of it difficult for older guests. There is no dishwasher, and the upstairs kitchen does not have an oven. We also found the bottom step on the lower level somewhat irregular and worth being careful around.The home itself feels a little unfinished in places. For example, there were visible openings in the downstairs bedroom ceiling where it appeared a light fixture may have been replaced, some interior areas lacked finishing touches, and the railing was made from PVC pipe. The furniture throughout was functional but quite mismatched, giving the house more of a casual, assembled-over-time feeling than a polished vacation-home look.The house was clean when we arrived, although a few areas looked as though they could benefi

So glad the home's location, space, and setup worked well for your group, and that the time together playing cards and relaxing was what you were hoping for. Thank you as well for the thoughtful notes for future guests; that kind of detail genuinely helps. Your observations about the bedding, finishes, and stairway have been shared with the team responsible for the home for review. We'd love to welcome you back on your next trip to the island.

Fall Vacation

We visited Greenbank to meet our new granddaughter. We have stayed at this location before and the location makes it very easy for us to see our family and visit the island. A few issues were handled as soon as we called. The home is not the most modern but the double kitchens and the large rooms, along with the great view make it well worth the price.

Beware! Pictures can be deceiving!I will start by saying that the view is spectacular. I made some incorrect assumptions: that the front door was up just 4 steps - wrong. It is up 9 very uneven steps preceded by a very uneven pathway to the bottom step. That pathway looks cute, but is very difficult to walk if you have any trouble walking. The mattress on the bed on the main floor is terrible with no support, sagging both head to foot and side to side. Getting in and out of bed is an athletic feat, giving one the opportunity to do deep squats as the bed sits so close to the floor. Very nice kitchen on main floor, but nonworking ice maker in fridge, cooktop, but no oven. Kitchen in lower level has tiny fridge, but does have an oven. I could list even more problems with this unit. Bottom line - if you have any joint or physical issues, do not consider this property. I booked for a week and i was inso much pain, that I left after 4 days.

It's wonderful to hear the view lived up to everything the photos promise. We're sorry the home proved a difficult fit for your needs, and that it cut your stay short. How the home's approach, entry steps, and layout are described in the listing is being reviewed as a direct result of your feedback, so guests can judge the fit for their own mobility before booking. The main-floor mattress has since been replaced, and your notes on the kitchen equipment have been shared with the team responsible for the home as well. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention.

Everything was great

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property is as advertised. There were some communication hiccups but they were resolved quickly. The team saved our Memorial Day by bringing a spare propane tank for the grill when the one on premises turned out empty (grill was not advertised so we shouldn't have expected it to work at all).

Honestly, I think 4.5 stars would be best for this location but it could easily be a 5 star with mattress replacements. The upstairs was very soft and downstairs was very firm with a middle ridge. It is a beautiful location to see the island. It's quiet with a lot of wildlife to see - baby deer and momma outside the windows and lots of birds like quail. It was nicely setup for 2-4 people. The stairs are steep both outside and inside which might be a problem for some people. You will have to park your car outside and the drive is short and angled. The view is amusing and I could have easily spent a day on the deck outside enjoying the view. The two kitchens are great for a main and snack kitchen while you watch TV or enjoy the view from the deck. There are lots of activities on the island and we enjoyed some hiking, shopping and trying the local restaurants. We chose to take the ferry to the island and the view was beautiful. I wish we could have stayed a week on the island! The hosts were very good - no problems checking in or out and the house was very clean when we arrived. I would definitely enjoy staying at this home location again and recommend it to friends!

Mostly a great stay!

We love this place. It was absolutely perfect with one exception...The master bedroom had a really bad fly problem. We constantly had 3-4 flies buzzing around. We would kill them and then there would be more. We had no idea where they were coming from, and when we called the property manager, they told us they were sorry. They also said they could have someone come out but that it wouldn't do any good because there are times of the year when that happens.

Great views, nice location

Communication with Tara, the property management company, was good. The location of 192 Greenbank Getaway is excellent and the neighborhood is good. The property is comfortable and served our purposes well. The reason I did not give an overall 5 star rating is that one bathroom has a leaking toilet that, judging by the floor and the grouting lines, has been leaking for some time. I call the management office and a Handyman was sent to do repairs. Handyman was not so handy. The toilet was still leaking when we checked out.

Greenbank Hideaway

Changes in our plans required finding a location close to our family in Greenbank. This home provided us with everything we required. The house was very clean, had a kitchen on both floors, a lovely deck with a great view, and full bathrooms on both floors. There was no cable TV but a very nice selection of movies and the music selection of CD's was awesome. Not the fanciest home I've stayed at but for the money it was 5 Stars.

Perfect spot

We stayed in this Greenbank property in August. It is pretty well centrally located on the island making it easy to get to the north end where Oak Harbor and Deception Pass are as well as the south end where Langley and Clinton (the ferry) are. The location is off the main road, has views of the water, and is very quiet. We enjoyed access to two kitchens and two bathrooms, and would stay here again if given the opportunity.

Greenbank getaway

This property was great, for what we needed. My only concern was coming down the steps in front, the first step coming off the lower landing is a bigger drop than one might expect. Me, my son and daughter-in-law almost fell multiple times, even after we realized what a big drop it was. I would just hate for someone to fall.

Love This Place

We always stay here, because it's close to family and has everything we need. This time, we had a couple of minor issues. First, the kitchen floor upstairs was not clean. It had a gross film on it. Some of the dishes were not clean. We had to wash everything before we used it. And then the Carbon Monoxide alarm was expired for 3 years and decided to sound off while we were there. The on call help line was great about helping us promptly.

An okay place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We used this home as a landing pad for a weekend as we worked on remodeling a second home. If we used this home for some true vacation time I would rate it even a little lower as the kitchen leaves a lot to be desired and the beds, although not too uncomfortable, could at least benefit from boxsprings. The cleaning fee paid should mean that the dirtiest places in a home should still be clean on arrival and that was not exactly the case. All dishes are washed by hand which means they are only as clean as the renter before you. The view is lovely and our girls loved the DVD selection.
