Birthday stay
Jennifer G., N/A, CO United States
When we showed up I didn’t have a code to get in and it took 30 minutes to do so. Along with everything else my boyfriend who used the bathroom first found poop in the toilet that had molded. We were also very disappointed to find out that I paid for a full house but couldn’t go down stairs.
Nice place
Recent Guest, Ashland, OR United States
We chose this property for the kitchen so we could host a Thanksgiving dinner. It was perfect for that. The view is spectacular and the house was very comfortable.

Very spacious accommodations with most everything that you need to be comfortable. Close to Langley. Nice views. Just needs hangars in the closets.

Sleuthing retreat
liz s., Columbia, TN US
We had a fabulous time staying on the island. The home was a great distance from town. The view from the house of the water and mountains was glorious! All the amenities needed for cooking were there, which was fabulous. We would definitely stay there again and again.

Recent Guest, WASHOUGAL, WA United States
We really enjoyed this house. It is just as pictured, nice and roomy. We loved the deck, even though the smoke didn't clear for the whole week! On our last morning, we finally saw the land across the water. My brother lives up the street and he and his wife came for dinner and there was plenty of room for the six of us. We hope to return next year! Great house and quiet location. Loved the little town of Langley.

Beautiful homen with relaxing open layout
Sara H., lincoln, NE United States
This house was perfect for our family of 5. The view of the passage and the wonderful windows and deck make it very relaxing. The open layout of the kitchen and living room (and deck area) are perfect for gathering after a full day of adventure.

Pretty Views, Good Location, Modest Furnishings
Anne D., Lyme, NH United States
Overall, an okay stay, with lovely views of the water and mountains, especially at sunrise. Very clean, good appliances, everything functioned well and we had no problems. Location is good, in a quiet neighborhood just a few miles to either Freeland or Langley. Couple of caveats if you're thinking of staying here: driveway is tricky into garage- I'd recommend a smallish car rather than a large SUV. And from a comfort standpoint- not much in the way of nice furniture. The pros of this- it would be perfect for a family with kids who might be a little rough on things. The cons- if you like even a little luxury in your vacations, you will not find it here. The furniture, sheets and towels could really use an upgrade.
A beautiful place To relax on Whidbey!
Kathleen M., E.Sandwich, MA United States
What a lovely home! Great view of the ocean from the deck! Beautiful well equipped kitchen! Lovely Master bath! We have stayed at several places on Whidbey and this is one of our favorites! Well be back!

A weekend to relax
Anne B., Bothell, Washington United States
The house is beautiful and calming - the natural light and view make for just a relaxing enjoyable time. The driveway is a little interesting - and with two kids - getting to the front door was interesting the first time (then we just went through the garage and it was totally fine) -- we found everything we needed and the soaker tub was amazing.

Morning Views
Recent Guest, Rochester, NY United States
Amazing views with sunrise and sunsets that inspire every day. Kitchen with everything you need and a wonderful bar for informal gathering and dining. Exceptionally clean and inviting. Plenty of towels and bed linen with the exception of the futon. Close to restaurants.
Park only in front of property. Need a walkway or steps from the road to the house. Grass is often slippery trying to climb the hill. Master Bath is great but needs light bulbs replaced. The futon is hard to set up and feels like an afterthought as a sleeping place. The 2nd bedroom could use a small chest of drawers and a short stool to get up to the high bed. All of these can be easily remedied for such an excellent property.

South Whidbey escape
Ken N., Gresham, OR United States
We enjoy going to the south end of Whidbey Island to escape the busy life. Bells Rigde is located a few miles north of Langley and is the perfect location with easy access to shopping, dining, biking, hiking, or just relaxing with a good book or watching the birds and boats go buy.

Good overall experience
Daniel M., Napa, CA United States
House was nice , view was great, plenty of towels and dishes , bbq ECT.
The house was not very clean upon arrival, all counters and table surfaces needed to be cleaned, that was the only negative
Manager's Response
Nice retreat home on Whidbey Island with terrific view!
Penny K., Longboat Key, FL United States
Very nice home. Spacious with great layout and wonderful view. The approach to and parking on the concrete pad at the rear of the home is treacherous and poorly designed. Very well stocked kitchen. Plenty of linens and towels. Excellent wifi service; cable reception is spotty. Needs a deep clean under the furniture and beds. Information provided by the rental agency before arrival was helpful; there was no need to contact them during our stay. The home is well built; all systems and appliances are in good confition; table and floor lighting could be improved. The screens for the sliding doors need attention; cheaply made and were difficult to open, not only by us but had evidence of others struggling to use them. The tracks need lubricated from exposure to salt air. Overall the home is a nice retreat and comfortable. Whidbey Island is a beautiful vacation destination.

Open and Spacious Home with a View
Recent Guest, Federal Way, WA United States
Beautiful home with wood floors, open concept of living room/kitchen, spacious, beautiful view, beds are comfortable. We've stayed at many rental homes on Whidbey and find most homes beautifully furnished, although some owners skimp on bedding that does not lend to comfort. This home offers nice beds for a good nights' sleep! P.S. The property manager gave us the wrong code for the lock on the door and was helpful when we called about the issue. Thank you!

Wow View Upon Entering the Home!
Recent Guest, Tacoma, WA United States
My girlfriend I take an annual trip to Langley and so we chose this house based on the pictures and cost. Upon entering the home you are immediately struck with this "wow" view, We thought the owners probably did some recent upgrading--all wooden floors, very nice bathrooms and kitchen, and comfortable beds. We were however, disappointed to discover only a few TV channels. The driveway also was a little risky, narrow with a small drop off on each side. All said and done we would definitely recommend this home to others.

Mini Vacation
Mark G., Spokane, WA United States
Overall the house was awesome!! a few things to consider tho, now that we rented. There is really no TV! We had 6 channels total, which went in & out the whole time, which didn't matter because 1 was a Japanese channel, another was the WA State legislature channel & a French channel!! There isn't any beach access. It's concrete retaining walls all up & down the beach. Like I said house was very nice, stocked well with great deck & view. They just need to be a little more upfront about TV & beach access.

Wonderful place
Donna B., Sherwood Park, AB Canada
This property was in a great location with water views. It is very spacious and has the feeling of a retreat. Everything was well organized, clean and well maintained. We enjoyed visiting the Island wineries on a wine and chocolate tour and found lots to do and see in Langley, Coupeville and LaConner as well as some good hiking around Deception Pass. I will definitely recommend this property to family and friends.

Lovely Getaway
Recent Guest, Portland, OR United States
Beautiful, well-appointed home. Very comfortable for our family of four. It was clean and cozy and the VIEW was stunning. We enjoyed the short drive in to Langley for a couple of meals. Really enjoyed the Village Pizzeria and Useless Bay Coffee Company and Whidbey Island Kayaking. Also spent a day at Double Bluff Beach in Freeland (full grocery store there, too, fyi). And you cannot go to Whidbey without at least a day in Coupeville. We sailed in the bay and enjoyed Penn Cove mussels at the Front Street Grill afterward. Really lovely stay.

We were very satisfied with this home and amenities. Josh in Tara Realty promptly provided answers to our questions. This house is in a subdivision which is quiet even though the houses are close. View and deck are very nice.

Recent Guest, simpsonville, South Carolina United States
nice rental with a great view, open layout, clean, newly updated, worked well for us.
We stayed at Bells Ridge for a week for Thanksgiving. The house is big and very comfortable. We had a small issue and Tara rentals was quick to resolve the issue. We would love to stay her again.
