Charming Studio Excellent Location!

We attended the 2024 Whidbey Island Garden Tour and booked the "library" for our stay; there were three of us gals. The studio is whimsical and charming, great for our short stay of two nights. We were greeted with a personal note from Joy along with complimentary muffins, jam, butter and a snack of nuts. Everything was superclean, beds very comfy and amenities plentiful. Our views from the deck were incredible - a great place for a glass of wine and some chill time after our arrival and activities of the garden tour. The facility is easy to find and convenient to every place on the Island. A great getaway!

The Library was perfect for us!

Very clean and very accommodating for the two of us traveling with our two small dogs. We set up the dogs’ playpen to sleep in the room with the bunk beds. There is a nice view of the water from the patio which is right outside the French doors. Quiet and well stocked kitchenette. The kitchen is small, but it was enough for the few nights we stayed here. We were welcomed with some muffins and jam which was so sweet! Owner was very kind in her communication and the nice treats she left for us were so yummy. This rental, within this house’s several rentals, felt very private.

Surprise dog fees

The stay was nice enough, but there was an issue with the water (had to be boiled before drinking), which we were alerted of and we ended up using bottled water. The bigger beef was that there is no mention in the listing of pet fees or rent, but the owner tagged on a $50 fee for "pet covers" the day before our stay and we couldn't get the check-in information until we paid. Then we get there and the covers were just 2 plain sheets without instructions on how or where they want us to use them. I contacted her about it, but got no answer. I asked for a refund of the fee and got no rreply.Our

Cozy & Well Furnished Library

This was a lovely little rental, on the site of several other rental units of various sizes. Deck area and view were lovely as was the private beach, which was a 10 minute walk down gravel paths. The tidal flats were great fun to explore at low tide. Overall, for two people this was a great rental. You could make this work with a couple and one child, but it is small, and more than that would be uncomfortable.
