My family of five (mom, dad, 3 young adults) loved this home. It was clean, nicely decorated and furnished, and in a fabulous, peaceful location on Cornet Bay. The location was several miles from the towns on Whidbey Island, but surrounded by the various parts of the Deception Pass State Park, which has many opportunities for hiking and other activities. We enjoyed hiking along the paths that bordered the water (and up to the bridge) and kayaking at Bombay Bay. (We opted for the rental instead of the tour; an hour was plenty and even though Deception Pass has dangerous currents, there is plenty of bay and other safer waters to enjoy the scenery from on your own). We really enjoyed grilling and hanging out on the deck to watch the deer that came to graze in the yard behind the house and the seal that came through the bay every evening. The bay is prettier than what is captured in the vrbo photo; there is a small marina a few hundred yards down the road. Also, if you walk out onto the nearby dock you can see Mt. Baker. We also enjoyed the ping pong table in the garage. The jets that flew over the property frequently were high enough that the noise wouldn't bother most people, and we loved seeing them. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well-stocked. Just a peaceful, thoroughly enjoyable getaway. Would love to come back some time.
