Paradise Found

The website is absolutely an accurate reflection of how beautiful this place it. The Beach cabin is a wonderful choice if you want a private cottage with privacy. The master bedroom is magnificent. The views from the deck can't be beat. It is a great place for a family reunion and there are so many things to do on the Island. Make sure you eat a meal at the Oystercatcher in Coupeville.

What a great week! We have just returned from a
family reunion - and what a success that all 4 sets
of families loved the place I chose! I had stayed at
the "complex" 4 yr ago before the remodel -- and
what a difference the upgrades made. Each family
had their own private place to sleep, we all loved
being on the beach, with a hottub for relaxation
after a chilly morning by the water. Even the young
kids adored the sunsets from the deck. We
recommend this place highly, with the additional
bonus that Nancy was so helpful with any question
we asked. Enjoy your trip....

I run a technology company in Seattle and wanted to get our management team together to discuss our plans for the year ahead. We chose this home because it was close enough to Seattle to easily get to, but far enough to feel like we got away from the office.

The house was a perfect choice! There were enough beds for eight of us to sleep comfortably with a few beds to spare. The living room, where we did our planning, had sweeping views of Puget Sound and the Olympics. We didn't save enough time to take full advantage of all the home had to offer -- hot tub, private beach, steam room, fire pit, big flat panel TV, pool and more.

The decor hits that sweet-spot (at least for me) of modern yet traditional; Asian yet western; stylish but comfortable. The attention to detail in the place was very impressive. Little things like dimmers on the lights, heated floors in bathrooms and so on.

And the home was stocked with everything we needed. Towels, linens, basic toiletries (soap, shampoo, etc.) so you didn't have to worry that someone on the team was going to need something that expected would be there but wasn't. The owners even put in wireless Internet just because we needed it. This is clearly a home owned by people proud of what they've built, who want to share and want their guests to have a wonderful time.

Thanks for making it a memorable offsite meeting. I think my family may well be back sometime for a visit that is all about enjoying what the place has to offer without the distractions of business :-)

I went searching online for a beach house on Whidbey Island where my brothers and I could gather with our families to celebrate our mom's 80th birthday. When I stumbled on Nancy and Al's place, it looked ideal: right on the beach, with lawn, a fire pit and a pool--and two cabins in addition to the main house: perfect for kids and various family constellations. Well, I'm now my family's hero for having found this place...and I quote (when I asked on my way up how the place was), "You just won't believe this place!” No one could get over how special the place was; the pictures on the website don't do it justice. The house, a portion of which was just remodeled, has some stunning features (check out the master bedroom and bath with steam/double-headed shower). We lacked for absolutely nothing in the kitchen, every convenience was there. Nancy and Al managed to furnish the house and both cabins in a way that made us feel warm and at home, at ease with kids there, and at the same time completely pampered. And there is a close to 180 degree view of the water--we almost lived out on the deck… when we weren't on the beach or in the pool or playing highly competitive games of croquet on the lawn. We enjoyed 4 days of September's perfect Indian Summer weather and some of us never once got in the car. Magic, having all of us gathered for dinner at the big table on the deck as the sun set. So many great conversations, so much fun, such a happy time in a gorgeous setting. Everyone wants to make it an annual event. Our mom loved every minute and we are so grateful. Thank you, Nancy and Al!

We just spent a wonderful week on Whidbey with
friends and family (including some small children)
and can't say enough about the property. The
newly remodeled bedrooms/bathrooms in the main
house were fantastic. My husband and I stayed in
the master bedroom - the views were incredible
and the bathroom was lovely (huge tub and
spacious shower with two shower heads). We all
had tons of fun playing in the pool, relaxing in the
hot tub and eating meals on the deck of the main
house, which, again, has spectacular views (the
"railing" is made of glass, which means the view is
almost completely unobstructed). Given that we
had family visiting as well, it was so nice to have
the privacy afforded by the two cabins. Everyone
felt that there was plenty of comfortable space to
gather as well as plenty of privacy. I'm hoping we
can visit again soon!

Comment Text: We spent our week vacation together at your beautiful home and had a great time. We usually travel to the Oregon Coast because everyone loves the water but everyone's lives have become so busy we needed to choose a place closer to home. I couldn't believe when I found your place. Then again couldn't believe it was so perfect for our needs. Everyone had something to make them happy. The sleeping arrangements for big families and privacy was perfect. The small cabin snuggled in between the house and large cabin was perfect for teenagers. We fished, swam, and had meals together. The kids built a fort on the beach and sandcastles. I enjoyed just relaxing and watching everyone have a great time. The sunsets and view from the deck and master suite were fantastic. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful home with all of us. We definitely plan on returning next year.

My senior class went th Nancy's beachfront house for our senior trip and absolutely had the time of our life. waking up to The sound of the ocean hitting the beach and the seclusion of the houses. We left with Many memories and enjoyed our time there.
