257 - Penn Cove Paradise

My wife and I had a great time relaxing at this beautiful property. Can't beat the location looking right at the water, and very close to hikes and good food. This was our first trip to Whidbey Island and we will definitely be returning to this house.

This home experience was so awesome and I was very satisfied with it,its less than a minute to the lake.I would recommend it 98% and would love to go back again.The house took a very long time to heat up so the 1st night was kinda cold, but the rest of the experience was great.

Manager's Response

Perfect and exactly what I needed. It's an ideal location to be out in nature with a beautiful view of Penn Cove, yet a very quick and easy drive from Seattle. The house is well kept and clean! Very quiet and peaceful.

Manager's Response

The property was beautiful the house magnificent but how it was advertised is a bit missleading

We enjoyed an amazing weekend getaway here.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. I would recommend it to anyone searching for peace and quiet Thank you for allowing us to visit

Manager's Response

We were looking for a quiet getaway and this home did not disappoint. The home was amazing and well kept. The beach was right across the street or an easier egress just a short walk down the street. The home was well appointed and the beds were amazing. Had an issue getting our code to work and the property management staff were immediately available and got the issue taken care of in moments. Would definitely visit again

Beautiful view and wonderful gardens. Great birdwatching! We enjoyed watching the hummingbirds from the porch.

We Stayed at the house for four nights in August for a family wedding nearby on Whidbey Island. The location is top notch and the home is quite beautiful. Their were 6 of us, which was a bit tight. I would recommend only 2-4 people for this property due to the sleeping arrangements (Their is a third room downstairs with only exterior access with a bed, no bath. The listing does only call out two bedrooms.)
Small issues to fix from someone who rents often:
1. House needs a deep clean behind and under furniture. Cobwebs and bugs present.
2. With the master closet locked and the entry locked we had nowhere to hang any clothes at all. Remember, we were there for a wedding so we had to hang all of our suites and dresses on makeshift things. Also, no full length mirrors.
3. Luggage racks from Amazon are cheap and easy for travelers to use.
4. Outdoor landscaping, furniture needs to be cleaned up to enjoy for such a great property.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The location was great for us, not too far from stores and restaurants, but a very private, peaceful feel. The views are amazing. We had fun playing bocce ball in the yard and exploring the private beach. We cooked most of our meals and had everything we needed.

Don't normally do reviews but here it goes two couple stayed here 4/17/18thru4/23/18 upon arrival it was very cold inside were told the floor heat need to warm up no blankets on bed but the cleaning lady that stays behind the house in a cabin Cynthia was great and went and bought blankets and throws for us 5 stars the floors never warmed upped at all you walk barefooted ice cold floors they are still remodeling in this place so my bet is the floor heat was never hooked up cold in the mornings but with the sun and fireplace it heated up to tolerable for most of the night location is excellent and staff was helpful just need to work out the kinks would love to give it five stars but will give it four because of the heat.pam

This was by far one of the most attractive vacation rentals my friends and I have stayed at. It reminded us of a small lodge nestled on beautifully pastural acreage It is architecturally beautiful with a gorgeous view of Penn Cove and the Olympic mountains. Oddly there were no closets or hangers which we managed fine without. We could not get the coffee pot to work. The rental agency was prompt and polite in answering any concerns we had. We would definitely stay here again.

Manager's Response

This house is gorgeous inside and out. The kitchen is fully stocked and comes with a large supply of towels for use during your stay. The private beach provided us with a lot of fun and our kiddos were able to learn more about mussels, clams, and oysters. There are plenty of stores and restaurants a few miles away, giving you a peaceful stay while still being close to anything you could need. Lots of local parks and outdoor trails. We could easily get used to waking up to the beautiful sunrises over Penn Cove Bay from the covered porch. We had several correspondences from the rental management prior to our stay, so we never felt in the dark about the status of our reservations. They were quick to respond to any questions we had.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent this beautiful home again.

Manager's Response

We stayed with one other family (4 adults and 4 kids total) and there was plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked, the entire house was clean, and the views were lovely. We loved exploring the beach and walking down to the nearby market for ice cream bars. Would definitely stay here again!

Manager's Response

The house had all the comforts, and an awesome view of the bay and the mountains. Will be back again.

Manager's Response

This home and property is so much more than the picture. We were just amazed at the architectural details. Fabulous view. Rent this home! It is a vacation just staying there!! Cant wait to go back!

Manager's Response

We can up for a Wedding and stayed a couple extra days. It was an amazing time. This house is well equipped with everything a vacation home should have.

Manager's Response

Lovely house in a lovely location.

Manager's Response

Our family enjoyed the time at Penn Cove. The house was nice and comfortable. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the bay. The gas fireplace was a welcomed plus on the chilly days and evenings.

Manager's Response

This get-away rental home is awesome. The building is a spacious post & beam with great furniture, beds & amenities.

Coupeville is just across the bay & by the way try the Front Street Grill for great food.

We especially enjoyed the bird action. Watch for the 2 resident bald eagles fishing in the Sound, the hawks finding breakfast in the farmer's field out the kitchen window, the covies of California quail, the Towhees, the pheasant, the Chickadees, and much more.

We will definitely return to this tranquil retreat.

Manager's Response

We spent a wonderful week at Penn Cove Paradise. We would defiantly recommend.

Manager's Response

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this beautiful home and will definitely be back again! The house was located in one of the best areas of Whidbey Island, near Coupeville. In one day we took in a dance competition, a kite festival, a visit to a nearby beach, and a local hike. We have a few more items on our to-do list for the island, so we will be sure to come back and get the rest of those items accomplished!

Manager's Response

Gorgeous setting though very dry yard this year. Master bedroom and kitchen- living room areas are great. Linens excellent. Closets need improvement with hanging clothes bars and second bedroom bed and matress could use an upgrade. Kitchen functions very well if you want to cook. Definitely would recommend this property.

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful 3 days at Penn Cove Paradise. Apples and blackberries everywhere. Our kids loved the beach and yard.

Manager's Response

We were thrilled on arrival to find a large, open home with wonderful views and expansive grounds. The house has a nice patio to enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail with the most serene and beautiful view of Penn Cove. We had a few very minor issues with the property that were solved right away after contacting Tara Property Management. We had a wonderful stay at this house - our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer!
