The view is everything. Wonderful place to enjoy every day the beautiful Northwest scenery. The apartment is very well appointed. The owners are very friendly and eager to please.
Wonderful stay in all respects.
The owners were really nice and provided fresh fruit for us. The space is large and the kitchen has everything you need.
I did not give 5 stars because the bed had a rubber mattress protector which was very uncomfortable and noisy.
It's always a magical time visiting Whidbey Island, and Karen and Shawn's makes the visit just perfect. Beautiful view and great location. It's like going home at the end of every day, and makes it very different from going back to a hotel. I've been there a few times now and brought my fiance with me this year--he was blown away by both the Island and our lodging for the trip. A gem of a home on Whidbey!
We were lucky to find such a lovely place on short notice. The large property is situated near state parks and beaches but we needed a car for most activities. Thank you to the owners who put a lot of care into their home and vacation rental.
This is a quiet location tucked back with an amazing view of Penn Cove... I traveled for work but was able to sneak in quite a bit of fun on Whidbey Island.
Proprietors are unobtrusive however I did feel guilty with all our comings and goings as I myself am a night owl.
This is a beautiful area! The view is stunning! The rental was just right for our needs. We didn't want to leave. And hope to return. Our host was very welcoming. It was just wonderful!
The morning view was a great way to start each day. While I was fortunate enough to have great weather for most days of my stay, but even on the few cloudy days it was breathtaking. The studio apartment was the perfect place to stay during my two weeks of workshops nearby. Clean, well-appointed accommodations and helpful friendly hosts.
Everything here was excellent! Beautiful view of Saratoga Passage right out back! Great location on Whidbey Island. This studio apartment was spotless and had every possible amenity one could want. Very comfortable bed and awesome shower! Many small creatures such as deer and rabbits hanging out in beautiful property. Everything exceeded my expectations!
Oak Harbor is a great location to explore the island. We weren’t at the property many hours of each day, since we wanted to go to the beaches and see the towns, Deception Pass, the Sculpture Garden and the Lighthouse. Every evening the deer and rabbits would forage on the lawn outside our unit.
The unit was well equipped for making all our meals. This was particularly important for us due to severe food allergies.

Wonderful Accommodations !
This property is a delightful "home base" after a busy day of sightseeing ! Very nicely furnished & decorated ! Large bathroom, full kitchen, spacious bedroom area & open living area & wonderful yard & patio ! Karen was very helpful with knowledge of the local sites, & she has lots of brochures, pamphlets & maps. The neighborhood is great for walking, & getting out of the downtown area is a nice break. Our friends were jealous of our location, compared with their typical hotel rooms ! Rent it ~ it's great !
The view, the peace and quiet and coziness of the property was everything I needed. The hosts, Karen and Shawn were so welcoming, both were always concerned about my comfort, really I felt more like family than there guest.
Karen and Shawn’s property feels like a world away, yet conveniently located within minutes of shopping, sightseeing and eateries. My only regret is I did not get to take advantage of the outdoor fire pit, winter weather.
I highly recommend this beautiful property to anyone looking to get away and reconnect with nature, I will be back!
I loved my stay at this home. The only thing that could've made it better was a different bed. It was too hard and I had back problems the entire stay but I didn't let that stop me. It was so peaceful looking out at the water, watching the sailboats and the sunrises were spectacular. If they got a new bed, I would definitely stay there again. The owners, Sean and Karen, were great. Thanks!
Our stay here was fabulous! The hosts are wonderful people. The neighbors are very friendly. It was quiet with an occasional Navy fighter jet flying by, which I love. The jets were not noisy enough to deter us from ever going back. The view! What can I say. Waking up every morning to an incredible water view was amazing. The weather was in the 70's. It was perfect!
So many wonderful things I could say about Karen's lovely studio. We had many lovely mornings and evenings relaxing on the private porch, enjoying the beautiful view of the sound with a mountain backdrop. The space was just what we needed, with its open and spacious layout and full kitchen. There were lots of useful guidebooks and other helpful Whidbey Island materials thoughtfully included. Karen and Shawn were super responsive and kind. Loved every minute.
The property is a large studio in the daylight basement of a house. There is a little bit of noise when the owners walk around upstairs but not much. They were very responsive to our questions/needs. The neighborhood is nice for walking and the location is central on Whidbey Island for exploring.
Our primary purpose of the visit was to escape the fireworks insanity in Auburn, Washington. Although were were a few prior to the 4th and a fair amount on the 4th itself, it was nothing compared to Auburn.
We enjoyed our visit and sites around Whidbey Island.
My husband and I wanted a home base to relax in the evenings after hiking and adventuring all day. We would leave every morning and come back in the evening. The place was easy to get to, wonderful views, and easily big enough for the two of us. The bathroom could get a little chilly but the rest of the unit was fine. Karen did a good job decorating and checking on us almost daily. I probably would have cooked more if there had been a dishwasher but I knew there was not one when I booked the place. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the mornings and evenings spent in Karen's place. An added touch was the hiking book that she allowed us to use while there. It was very helpful.
