A beautiful and cozy house, peaceful and relaxing view
I would like to say that this house is perfect if you are looking for a place to disconnect and just relax. We stayed for almost four days, and we had a very good time there. Every room is very clean and organized. The most valuable things for me were the quiet and very relaxing view that we had through the windows, the instant and very nice communications with Joanne (the owner), and the fenced backyard were our four dogs were very happy playing around. For us this was a five stars place!

Great place
Thoroughly enjoyed our week at this location. 5 Adults 2 dogs, plenty of room for everyone - the fenced in yard was great. Beautiful views. Fully outfitted kitchen - even has slow cooker. We had 9 over for dinner and had enough pans etc to prepare dinner and enough place settings. Only thing I would recommend is more seating in living room, only one couch.

Perfect Getaway
We have rented numerous places on VRBO. This rental was our favorite. Although it was just my husband and I with our 3 dogs this house is so spacious. The kitchen dining and living room are so large and all have a spectacular view. The master also has that same amazing view. Wonderful walk in shower. The back yard is fully fenced and my dogs had the safest best time running around and playing. They have a great picnic table we ate at and played games. A fire pit is right next to it. There is only neighbors across the road so it was so quiet. We watched a sail boat race and at night so enjoyed all the harbor lights. Oak Harbor and Coupville are so dog friendly and we were able to bring the dogs to two great restaurant breweries Flyers and Pen Cove but there were several other restaurants that allowed dogs in their outdoor seating area. Lots of great shops beaches and hikes in the area. This place would fit a large family in every way they even had a child’s playroom with toys and books. They also have lots of games and puzzles for adults including a foosball table. We know we will be renting this lovely VRBO again in the future. By the way the communication was amazing with Joanna the owner and easy check in and out. Thank you Joanna for a most needed escape. Erin Kennedy
