Our visit was perfect. House was great and spacious. We had a wonderful stay. Be careful exiting steep driveway. Cars come fast from the left. Hope to come again. Also, let's to do on the island.

Just OK.

It's a nice house. It wasn't quite clean, including some dishes. No napkins and not enough dish towels. The light switches are somewhat randomly scattered throughout the house so it's not clear what switch affects which light. No one has apparently bothered to update the instructions so that we wasted quite a bit of time trying to get the internet to work. The network listed on the instructions is not the network currently in use. We wated an entire morning as it appeared someone might have to come to the house to fix it. Turned out to be bad instructions, as we noted. Cell reception is also a bit spotty there. Overall, not a bad place but with some issues for our stay.

Clean, comfortable, quiet

This house is very spacious, clean, and well-appointed. Great kitchen with all the supplies you could want (that I could see). The furniture, carpet, fixtures etc. aren't brand sparkling new or high-end or anything, but it was still just great for our needs. Recommend for big groups or families needing a place to stay on South Whidbey!

Beautiful Property, perfect for family stay

This is a beautiful property that was perfect for our week long family get together. We were visited by birds, chipmunks and deer in the garden. We enjoyed hanging out on the deck and used the grill for a cookout. There are two spacious living areas and plenty of space for 6 adults (plus 2 extra for one night). We visited Seattle, Everette, Langley and took a whale watching tour out of Anacortes. Lots is great together time and time spent outdoors. We definitely recommend this property for a family stay!

Last Minute Rental

We were glad to find a place to stay on short notice and it met our needs perfectly. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck on the patio furniture in the evening. So peaceful and beautiful! Being a “pet-friendly” rental, I was expecting some dog hair, etc., here and there and that was the case. It was pretty hot upstairs in the bedrooms with no AC, but each room was supplied with a box fan and it cooled down nicely in the evenings. Thankful for the rental, and crabbing on Whidbey didn’t disappoint! fans in each room and cooled down nicely in the evenings.

Great place to stay out on Whidbey!

Great house. Plenty of space. We went out for a wedding at The Wayfarer which was just 4ish miles down the road. Goss lake access was really great but make sure to turn left when you get to the bottom of the driveway to get to the public access spot. We accidentally went right and took the scenic route around the whole lake. Very fun, nicely cleaned house that fit our 2 families very well!!

Cabin Getaway

Great house to accommodate large number of guests and pets. Appreciated the number of bedrooms. Surrounding property was nice. It's got a very cabin/lake house vibe and feels lived-in, so cleanliness/tidiness/quality of furnishings and appliances was conducive to that. A bit outdated and cluttered, but served its purpose! Overall great stay and bang for your buck!

Minor issues

The first night we were there we would hear a faint moaning like sound. Sometimes about every 15 seconds. Someone in our group familiar with lift stations thought maybe this was the noise. We called management the next morning. I believe on Friday morning we woke to a loud buzzing noise!!! Again we called. Our person familiar with septic issues went outside and shut off the noise at the outside box, but the red warning light on the box stayed on. Again this was reported. And the outside trash bins were full and we also reported this issue. The home was very comfortable, kitchen pantry had a good selection of items! We were all happy with this aspect of our stay.

Nice home, but needs better property management set up

The place is charming and nice. We experienced a number of irritating elements but made the most of it all. With some better set up those challenges would have been mitigated if not fixed. No one is perfect of course, but it seemed like there were a lot of things overlooked here.

Pleasant Winter Getaway!

The house is well stocked, the beds are comfortable, and that deck is perfect for a morning cup of coffee looking at the lake, and for an owl to keep us company in the evening. Langley, with all of those cute shops (and great pizza) was close enough and decked out for the holidays. We had real family meals using the fully functional kitchen and the table was big enough to accommodate the boardgames perfectly! The driveway was steep, but okay since there was no ice. The wifi was good. Overall, my family really enjoyed the whole experience!

Goss Lake reunion

This is a nice property with an open floor plan in a peaceful location. There were a few minor issues with the lights in a couple of the rooms, but Vacasa addressed these quickly. Vacasa also brought by a propane cylinder for the grill, as the one provided cylinder was empty. Sadly, the grill ended up not working anyway. Overall a good experience though. A nice property at a good value.

Plenty of room, nice lake view

The house was clean, the pictures were accurate. There was an additional bed in the master bedroom that pulls out. The master bedroom has a balcony you can go on and the first floor deck has nice outdoor furniture although we didn't try out the heat lamps. Both the balcony and deck face the lake. Plenty of space, easy instructions for entering and leaving. Internet worked great. We didn't watch any TV or movies so can't speak to that. Dog friendly, although it has to be leashed since the small backyard area is not fenced. Highly recommend for people and dog owners!

Nice house for a getaway

This was a nice house for a getaway for myself, my husband and our 2 small children (1 and 3). We loved the cabin feel, loved how large it was, and the amount of bedrooms was more than we needed. The place was clean and well stocked with kitchen items, towels (including beach towels), and books. Back deck was beautiful and we saw deer right in the garden out back. Easy check in process. We however, encountered some issues. There were ants in and around the kitchen area. Kitchen counter, island, and around the window sill above the sink. Summertime near a lake, it’s to be expected, but when I messaged the Vacasa rep, they said they’d report this to local staff, and I never heard back about this. Another issue we had was with the running water. The morning after we arrived, the water stopped working. We received a prompt reply, but didn’t know what was wrong until 6 hours later (not the stress we were looking forward to on a vacation). We found out that the city was doing a water flush for the homes in the area, but we weren’t aware of it, and apparently the rep wasn’t aware of it either. We came home after a day at the beach to very murky water running from the taps. Saving grace was that the rep delivered lots of jugs and bottles of water for us to consume. Also, the wifi name and password wasn’t correct. We had to search through some paperwork in the kitchen area to find the right credentials. Goss Lake is beautiful, but the public access is about a 10 min walk, and it’s pretty much just boat access. Very small strip of entry for lake goers. We went to double bluff beach (13 min drive) - definitely a must.

Good time with friends

The home was clean and attractive and the kitchen was very well supplied. That includes not just the dishes, pans, etc. but spices, foil, and other pantry items. The mattresses were very comfortable in all four bedrooms and we slept well. It is clearly a beloved vacation home for a family. Through no fault of Vacasa or the owner, there was no cell phone connection available, no responding to texts, etc. We could receive texts and email but couldn't answer them. There was a land line in the master for emergencies but it would be helpful to have the number written on it. One member of the group would have appreciated a metal clothes rack in her room, even hooks on the walls and hangers, since there are no closets available. She was thinking of someone renting it for a place to stay for an island wedding. All four of us agreed that we would happily return to the house another time.
