Our Whidbey Island rental offered stunning oceanfront views, abundant wildlife (rabbits, deer, eagles, otters), and wonderful natural light. The location was ideal—peaceful yet convenient to shops and national parks, with an incredible oceanfront patio for meals. We appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, musical instruments, and a layout perfect for two families seeking separate spaces.However, our stay had some issues. Cleaners were still present at check-in, and a strong fabuloso smell lingered. Many exterior doors were difficult to operate, raising security concerns. Climate control was challenging; large windows caused heat buildup, but most didn't open. The top room's portable AC was insufficient, and opening the balcony door was complex. We had to clean a clogged dishwasher filter and ineffective vacuum filters. The drip coffee maker was broken. Mattresses were squeaky, and the bunk bed felt wobbly. Overall, the location is incredible, but the house needs an update and some basic fixes, price point notwithstanding.
