Waterfront Family Friendly Home with Bay Views, Firepit, Deck, & Fireplace

  • Summary:

    Heron House on the Cove



    The Space:

    Are you ready to get away from it all and enjoy a truly peaceful retreat? This waterfront, family-friendly home is ready to provide you the best experience ever! With two levels full of comfort, great amenities, and a prime location right in front of Penn Cove (views are simply out of this world), your getaway to Coupeville will be unforgettable. Start your mornings off on the right foot with a delicious and steamy cup of coffee in the deck as you take in unparalleled Penn Cove views. Later, you can treat your guests to a tasty homemade meal prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen. What's better than snuggling up on the sofa after lunch? Nothing! The set of inviting sofas in the living room is the perfect place to unwind and recharge batteries before heading out to explore Coupeville. You can turn on the flatscreen TV and watch something fun. The waterfront firepit is another great place to gather with your friends–prepare some hot beverages (or cold, if you visit during summer) and roast some s'mores as you all enjoy the marvelous views and share fun stories. And that’s not it! Heron House on the Cove features four work stations if you need to catch up with work or if your kids need to do some homework. There are two fold-up desks in addition to a small desk in the kids’ room and kitchen table.



    What's nearby:

    Welcome to the historic and charming village of Coupeville, the perfect location to disconnect from reality and experience a quiet and relaxing vacation. You'll be sitting right in front of Penn Cove. A must-visit here is the nearby The Coupeville Wharf (350 yards); it's a symbol of the seafaring days of yore. There you can find a working boat dock, The Salty Mug (coffee shop), a gift store, and a restaurant. Roughly 350 yards as well is downtown Coupeville where you'll find a dozen restaurants, cafes and coffee houses, art galleries, clothing boutiques, and home design stores. Learn about this village's rich history at the Island County Historical Society Museum (350 yards away as well). Four and a half miles south is Fort Casey State Park for a more outdoorsy adventure; a campground, picnic area, and stunning views from the Admiralty Head Lighthouse can be found there.

Great views!

We enjoyed our stay in coupeville. The house was an easy walk to town, beds were comfortable, views were amazing. Note there are a lot of stairs to get to the front door from the street which was fine for us but could be difficult for some.

Incredible view and nicely furnished home.

The lovely red house built out on the water where you only see water from three sides, Mt. Rainier, boats, paddle boarders on the calm water-- God's incredible beauty that takes your breath away!

Amazing location

The Heron House is well appointed inside, but the true delights are outside: the deck, the view, the wildlife, the water...! Amazing. We had a couple of issues, a broken shower door and no propane, but these were taken care of quickly, and other than that our visit was outstanding. We'll be back very soon.

Location, location, location!

Heron house is very comfortable and right on the water with stunning views (from every room in the house!) of the water and the beautiful clouds, wild life including great blue herons, kingfisher birds, geese, seals, and even deer families sauntering along the water’s edge at low tide, as well as of the distant mountains including Mt. Baker. So remember to bring binoculars! There is a big deck too for enjoying the views with coffee or cocktails, but remember to bring camping chairs in case there is no outdoor furniture. It is also just a short walk to the quaint old town of Coupeville that has some great restaurants, a wonderful ice cream store, coffeehouses, galleries, specialty shops and a historic wharf. There is even a small but lovely farmer’s market a few blocks away from the town. Needless to say, we enjoyed our visit immensely! Thank you!

Spectacular Location….

Heron House has a phenomenal location and gorgeous views. The home and decor are super cute. The house needs a deep cleaning (stained sinks/tubs, corrosion on faucets, dirty baseboards, dirty heater vents, etc). And some maintenance work (cracks in ceiling, crumbling drywall in places, some paint chips and wall staining). Despite having the most amazing deck, there is no patio furniture or gas grill available for renters (appears the owners lock all their outdoor things up in a shed). There was no liquid hand soap in bathrooms, no Kleenex anywhere. An air freshener could go a long way here to make it smell fresh. Truly an amazing location that with a few personal touches would really shine.

Beautifully decorated home in an unbeatable location. Just a short walk to downtown Coupeville and, as far as we could tell, the only true beachfront property nearby. The layout is unique, with the kitchen and one bedroom downstairs, and the living room plus two additional bedrooms upstairs. We loved spotting wildlife and only wished the weather had been better so we could fully enjoy the outdoor areas.
