Cranes Landing is one of the most organized and best water view rentals that my family and I have ever stayed in. The kitchen had everything we needed, plenty of pots and pans, etc. so that we could cook family meals. The property management company was great to work with and I would never hesitate to work with them again.

I want to commend the owners of this property - it was the best, well-maintained and informative of any VRBO rental my family and I have been to. The owners had info notes throughout the home to ensure we knew how things operated and what could potentially be a problem.
Also, they had extra items that almost any renter would forget like aluminum foil ect...
The only comment should be that the driveway is very steep in case someone is visiting in the winter time.

We really loved the place very much. The whole house was very well set up with everything anyone in a home would need .Very clean and tidy. Each drawer and boxes labelled in the kitchen and bathroom and extra stuff in the laundry room. An extra small fridge with things like jam and ketchup for the guests to use. Bathrooms had supplies in case you forget simple things like toothpaste etc. Hot tub was amazing with a wonderful view of the water. Garden very nice and even a small herb garden for the guests to use . One bedroom upstairs was perfect for kids with lots of toys and even an Xbox and games. We would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat.
Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

We had a wonderful stay for 4 adults and 3 children. The house is well-maintained, new and clean. The hot tub worked great. There is a fantastic kids room with its own tv and seating area. It's like they have their own apartment. There is a doll house and lots of fun toys and duplos.
Just a couple of pro-tips:
-The grill doesn't heat up well enough, so don't really count on doing a great grill out.
-The beach is in walking distance but down a steep hill. Was not great for small children or grandparents, but there is a little parking area at the bottom of the hill. It isn't the type of place where you can just watch kids play on the beach from the porch. The beach is rocky and full of shells. At low tide it is interesting, but the water is way out and sand is muddy. Just so you know what kind of beach it is. It is a quiet area with hardly anyone else there.

We traveled to the PNW for the first time with college friends from the Midwest. We both have toddlers and were anxious to find a rental that would accommodate. Tara Property provided high chairs, pack and plays for sleeping, and the house had plenty of toys and games (for the kids and adults). Whidbey was spectacular, and the rental house was grand. The house proved worthy of the "lookout" title as well. We saw tons of wildlife- deer, bald eagles, harbor seals, and even a gray whale right at the beach!

We stayed in this rental for 5 days for a couples vacation. It is absolutely gorgeous and everything we could have needed was available (except wifi didn't work this was not issue for my husband and I). The views are amazing, we even saw some wild life including and eagle and a few harbor porpoises. I would recommend staying here, especially if you are looking for a peaceful retreat out of the city.

The views were breathtaking and we didn't want to leave!!!!! We will be back!

We came for a three night visit with four adults and four children. The house was a perfect layout for two families and it was beautiful. Though the temps were in the low 30s, the porch swing and the hot tub were in full use. We had amazing sunrises and a great overall experience. The beach is a short walk downhill and full of fun for the shell/rock/crab hunters. I would highly recommend this home.
My only feedback for the owners/mgmt would be towels. There were only two dish towels and for 8 of us, only 10 bath towels available to cover bathing and the hot tub. They were also very well loved towels and had bleaching stains, which isnt a deal killer, but if you are paying a premium price for a home it would seem a small cost to have plush newer towels.

We had an AMAZING weekend at the house on Cranes Landing. The house was absolutely beautiful. The kitchen had everything that was needed and more. The hot tub was awesome!! On the last night, we discovered that there are some really cool lights in the hot tub. They have quite the movie collection. We played Jenga and Taboo. We shopped in Langley. Took a cab to dinner at Gordon's which was incredible. Walked down on the beach. The house was large yet cozy. The beds were comfy. The views were stunning. We will definitely be back!!

This home was perfect for both staying in and adventuring across the island. The house had plenty of room for our group of 5 adults, but still felt cozy. We love to cook and this house was fully stocked with every kitchen tool needed. Beds and linens were also very comfortable. The weather was beautiful for December with beautiful sunrises each morning. One caution, the steep driveway was slick at night and in the morning due to temperatures, so we had to plan accordingly. Places we visited and enjoyed included Deception Pass, Fort Casey, South Whidbey State Park, Spoiled Dog Winery, and the Oystercatcher. And you must visit Whidbey Pies Caf around the corner at the Greenbank Farm. We had a few questions/comments during our staying and the Tara Property Management was very responsive! We would highly recommend this property and hope to make a trip out to stay again!

My wife and I, along with our two kids (7 and 4) have certainly explored a lot of vacation options, both with hotels and rentals. The Lookout at Cranes Landing takes the cake! We actually thought about not writing this review because we just want to keep it for ourselves. It was just the 4 of us, but you could easily make it work with 2 families. The kitchen was abundantly appointed, the decks are serene with views, and the kids bedroom is equipped with double queens in a day bed setting. The hot tub is nice and we were in it every day. The property description was very accurate, everything was clean, the owner was prompt and friendly, neighboring Coupeville and Langley are less than 15 minutes north and south of the home, respectively, and we certainly plan to return.

The house is gorgeous! It had everything we needed & more than I was expectingso many beautiful views! We were very comfortable & really enjoyed the hot tub under the full moon. I would want to make future renters aware of all the stairs (even up from
the driveway & the driveway is very steep). Also, it might be a good idea to figure out another place to put the key box or attach something to the key. Both times I opened it the single key fell out & almost went down the between the deck slats. The furniture
was pretty heavy so we weren't able to move it easily for our Yoga classes. Everything

The owner really goes the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. There's an excellent selection of blu-ray movies for all ages and tastes and wi-fi is included; unfortunately, only a couple of us were able to get cell service right at the house, it seems to be largely a dead zone in that regard, but it was nice to unplug so we didn't mind too much. Lots of room to spread out or go off on your own if you want to. The hot tub was a nice luxury and has the same marvelous view as the living room. We will be back for sure!

We had a movie night. Relaxed in the hot tub. The beds were really comfy. Loved this place. My only stress was when we had dinner and the condensation from the glasses left white rings on the dining room table! I was so worried about ruining their table!

This was a beautiful rental, recently remodeled and very well appointed. It was a ladies weekend retreat and we all had a great time. Three bedrooms/three baths sounds simple enough, but Cranes Landing nailed it: One master bedroom with attached master bath and HUGE shower. Two bedrooms upstairs with 2 queen beds in each, and a shared complete bathroom with a claw foot tub. So decadent! TVs in all bedrooms though we did not use them. (There was even a TV for the tub.) A third complete bathroom is conveniently located off the gorgeous kitchen. In that gorgeous kitchen were complete dish and glass sets, high quality pots, pans and utensils, even a shot glass that we didnt know we needed. (But put to good use!)
We found tea, coffee and cocoa, spices, butter, cooking oil; all the things you need to take full advantage of a kitchen like that. Shampoos, soap, cleaning supplies; so much was provided and high quality. The most recent rental I stayed at prior to Cranes landing had actually watered down all of the liquid soaps, nothing like that going on here.
The views are stunning, theres a pretty good dvd library, plus wireless connectivity and Netflix on the blue-ray. We curled up on that giant couch with those super comfy blankets and turned on the fire, it was soooo relaxing!
Since we were there during Stormageddon 2016 we didnt make our way into the hot tub, but next time we definitely will.
This is a very special place, we felt spoiled. We definitely plan on coming back here again for R & R.

We were among the first to rent this beautiful home during our recent family reunion, staying three days and two nights. The house slept eight comfortably, with the 84-year-olds in the main floor bedroom with private bath, the teens in the 'twin room' upstairs, and in-betweens in the view room with balcony. The house was pristine and well-appointed with kitchenware, games, audio/video equipment and other needs to make our stay comfortable. A few random notes from our experience:
- The rental agents were polite and responsive, even after I paid!
- The home sits on a steep driveway and has about 10 stairs up to the door if that matters to your party (it was doable in this case).
- Although the home is modern, it provided what we wanted from an old-fashioned island getaway, as it's located on a rural road away from the major towns and perches above the trees and water.
- We took easy day trips to Langley (recommend the patio at the Flower House Caf) and Coupeville (thumbs up to the Farmers Market).
- The water is a healthy walk away, downhill on a paved road, and the beach is rather narrow and rocky. Still, quiet, picturesque and worth the stroll.
- The hot tub is clean and pleasant and worth the $45 extra to soak outside, enjoy the view and starry night.
- Be sure take a few moments to take in the scenery from the upper balcony, you will feel on top of the world.

The Lookout at Cranes Landing was the PERFECT rental for my 30th Birthday and 4th of July Weekend. The beach is only a short walk down the hill, the grill and hottub were excellent additions and the beds were VERY comfortable. The owners were very on top of responding to any questions we had and everything was in perfect condition. I would highly recommend The Lookout at Cranes Landing to anyone looking for an island getaway. I will be booking this again next year if its available!
