Girls weekend on Whidbey and the property was WAY more than we hoped for. The decor was lovely - period appropriate without being kitschy, and so comfortable and well thought out. The house is stocked perfectly with everything you could need for a weekend or a week. Comfortable beds, beautiful views, and close to the beach. We hope to bring our families back in the summer!
Our family rented the Whale’s Tale house for the weekend. We had 5 adults and 2 kids. There was plenty of room for all of us. The upstairs living room was the most impressive with so much room and the stunning view! The house was well appointed and you really do not need to bring a thing. Toys for the kids, great play set, big yard and so close to the beach!! I would definitely recommend this house and hope to stay again!
Amazing hosts, perfect house for our Whidbey stay!
We stayed with four adults and two teenagers over Thanksgiving, and had a wonderful time! Christina was an amazing host, with excellent communication and so many thoughtful, special touches throughout the very clean and well decorated home… We felt completely welcomed from the moment we arrived! House instructions were simple and so clear, with a perfectly laid out guide to the house sent digitally beforehand and present in the home when we got there… The woodstove is awesome, and the second floor living space is the perfect place to spend time with family and friends. Beautiful clean home, comfy beds, and all the kitchen gadgets we needed, even for the holiday meal. One small note that we must’ve missed in the description, there is no dishwasher… but it was no big deal. Extras like bikes and kites were a bonus, and the location is a perfect hopping off place for both ends of the island. Thx Cristina and Will!
We enjoyed a two-night stay with family members ranging in age from 12-78, and were happily surprised to arrive to gifts appealing to all. The kids were touched: “do they know us?” :) Some of us are light sleepers and have spent 12 years lugging blackout curtains and sound machines on vacation. It was so nice to truly have everything we needed even for the kids on the property…the hosts have truly thought of everything! Both the grounds and home are beautifully planned and decorated. Beds, couches, linens, and chairs are high quality and comfortable. Everyone slept well. The neighborhood is friendly and quiet, the yard enormous, the play set and hammock entertaining, and the patio perfectly equipped for lounging, reading, or eating with a fire pit, patio table, and wonderful Adirondack rocking chairs. The short walk to the beach, and frequent deer and eagle sightings, thrilled our guests from Florida. If you have a family member who cannot walk up stairs, getting from the kitchen and lower bedroom to the living room and upper bedrooms is too difficult. But for everyone else, this place is heaven. Thank you!
