This secluded and very cozy Whidbey Island cottage is the perfect romantic getaway for two! Start each day by taking in views of the forest through French doors in your bedroom. The kitchenette is equipped with all the amenities you need for light cooking, including a two-burner cooktop, a toaster oven, a microwave, a toaster, and a coffee maker. Outside, the surrounding trees make you feel far away from it all. And in the evenings, the firepit (be sure to bring some firewood) is the perfect place to sit and watch the stars come out overhead.

The avid golfer will love playing Holmes Harbor Golf Club and Useless Bay Golf & Country Club, both of which are within a short drive. For a beautiful waterfront and hiking trails, head to South Whidbey State Park. Or, grab a glass of wine at Holmes Harbor Cellars and check their website for seasonal events.

Birthday/Couples get-away
Absolutely stellar accommodations, fit our needs completely! We spent a good portion of our time exploring the local sights/scene but getting back was a breeze. While weather didn’t really permit the use of the fire pit (due to precipitation/allergies), this was exactly the type of location/facility that my wife and I needed!!!

Cottage in the woods
Overall a great property. Comfortable and very quiet. Lots of wildlife to see including bunnies and grouse. Only a couple of minor problems. Main entrance to property is hard to find. Only one small microwave safe bowl, nothing else was safe for use in the microwave. Lastly there was a kurig coffee maker but no mention of bringing your own k- cups.

Great house!
We really enjoyed our stay in this house! Very clean, easy to find and we had everything we needed. A little cold when we got there but it warmed up great after just a few minutes. We’ll definitely stay here again when we’re back on the island!

Quiet and cozy
Was perfect for just what we needed, A little quiet time away from the city near the water. It is on someone’s property but it is secluded and away from the main house where there is plenty of privacy! I would definitely stay here again!

I loved being in this quiet and lovely wooded setting. The kitchen had all I needed and the shower was great. My only complaint is the mattress is worn out. It was like sleeping in a hammock unless I made sure to sleep in the middle.

Beautiful, with just a few issues
Overall, we loved our stay here. It's a beautiful little jewel box of a house in a beautiful field adjacent to the owner's house and behind their large shed. Kitchen supplies were adequate, the place was clean and looked brand new, with a comfy, spacious, warm bed, great TV, clean bathroom. Strangely, when we requested more toilet paper for our three-day stay, Vacasa responded that they only provide a "starter amount," and we would be required to provide any further toilet paper if we needed it. Fortunately, we ran across the owner when he stopped by to admire my husband's scooter, and he gladly provided us with more toilet paper! We enjoyed an evening fire in the outdoor firepit (remembered to bring our own firewood); I would just recommend that the house add screens. The house heated up with the shower and hot weather, but we didn't want to leave doors open to avoid mosquitoes.

Quiet Cottage in the Woods
When another nearby rental (Charming Tiny House on Private 5 Acres hosted by Corinne) cancelled the reservation we made four months in advance (a not so charming experience), we booked this place because it was available. Here are some observations future renters may find useful: A small cottage set well back from Smugglers Cove Road, this rental shares a 7-acre property with a detached garage and two other houses (occupied by a scarce yet genial owner). The cottage is tucked to one side of the property and surrounded by woods on three sides, so despite the other houses, it still feels private. The photos in the listing appear to be recent and they are an accurate representation of the rental. The bedroom and bathroom were comfortable and functional. There were plenty of places to put our stuff: a bureau, armoire, luggage stands (yay), bedside tables, and a number of hooks. There was ample lighting: bedside, floor, and overhead, plus free, easily reached outlets for charging devices. The wi-fi was better than other places we’ve stayed on the island. The mattress was comfortable and the pillows were soft but not too soft. The bathroom had counter space, lots of hooks, and a walk-in shower. By far the cottage’s best feature is the French doors that open from the bedroom on to a private deck and grassy area with a fire pit. The kitchen, with fridge, stacked washer/dryer, and bar-height table all located immediately inside the front door, was less functional. Thinking about it now, we should have used the backdoor, then we could’ve stored our coats and shoes in the bedroom, instead of in front of the fridge. There were enough dishes and a better assortment of pots and pans than many rentals (a big stock pot!). Though some of the pots, pans, and utensils needed to be washed before we could use them. The kitchen sink is a deep utility sink, which was odd, but better than a shallow 2-basin sink. The two-burner hot plate and toaster worked fine. We didn’t use any of the other appliances. An outdoor gas grill would’ve been nice. The cottage’s biggest drawback is the lack of a lounging area, which was why we didn’t rent it to begin with. The bedroom has one easy chair and one small ottoman. Incorporating a second chair and small side table would up the comfort and functionality considerably. Overall, our favorite thing about the cottage was the QUIET. There is no other development nearby, you can’t hear the traffic on Smugglers Cove Road, and the 650-acre Trillium Forest land trust lies just beyond the property (be prepared to bushwhack to get to established trails). We stayed 5 nights and would rent the cottage again, but because of the kitchen and the lack of a “living room”, we’d probably opt for 3 nights or fewer the second time around.

This was a great place to stay for some seclusion. We loved the fire pit and how many stars you can see there. It had everything you could need to be comfortable for a few days. Very comfortable bed and pretty well set up kitchen.
