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.
Manager's Response
Thank you for your comments. The master bedroom walk in closet is now open for guests use and has plenty of hanging rods and the home has been deep cleaned. there has also been some construction and there is now also a loft in this home with additional sleeping area.

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.

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.

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.

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!
Manager's Response
Thank you for your comments. We are happy you "enjoyed" your stay on Whidbey Island. We let us know when we can assist you with another vacation on the Island when you can "stay longer'.
Property was nice enough - vaulted ceilings, big fireplace in the middle of the house. Location was central to Whidbey - easy enough to get to Oak Harbor & Coupeville if you desire. View is across penn cove looking at the mussel operation.
En route to the place we were told that the hot water didn't work at the place - or specifically that something was wrong and they were sending a guy out to fix it. We arrived and we appeared to have hot water, however we got wafts of a rotten egg smell while taking showers and doing dishes. I got a call 3 days in (voicemail - good luck with cell signal in penn cove) saying that they hadn't been able to fix it and hoped it wasn't a big deal.
The house took about 36 hours to fully heat up, so if you go in winter, you might request they turn on the heat before you get there. For that matter, the beach (that you need to cross a sometimes-busy street to get to) was inaccessible in the winter - steep drop and so much driftwood there was no 'beach' just wood. There is a public beach that's quite nice a few miles down the road.
