This is just 1 minute by car from Deception Pass State Park (there is also a path from the house directly into the park), the beach, Cranberry Lake, 2 minutes from Deception Pass itself, 20 minutes from Anacortes and similarly close to other Whidbey and Fidalgo destinations. The house itself is compact, but perfectly sized for our family of 4 plus dog. It has a huge yeard for dogs and a campfire, with a hedge of blackberries (ripe in late summer). The house was clean, had everything we needed, and the Vacasa folks were highly responsive when we had questions.
