Great Home

The house is beautifully done inside and very cozy. The kids had a blast playing in the backyard and the beach was perfect for an adventure. We traveled with a 3 and 6 year old and they loved the setting. We cooked a great dinner and kitchen is well stocked.
Our only minor issue was that we hadn't realized the house sits across the street from the beach and not directly on it. It's a quiet and small street but you do have to cross it to get to the beach. Other than that, the place was fabulous and the owner was very responsive and helpful. Would love to return!

Great weekend get-away

My fiance and I recently stayed here the weekend after Thanksgiving. The cottage was exactly as depicted in the pictures so we were not disappointed. Located just across the street from the beach, the cottage offerred great views and sea breezes. The kitchen was well equipped so it was nice to be able to make use of our Thanksgiving leftovers to extend the holiday feeling throughout the weekend. Langley was a short drive away and they had a really sweet Tree Lighting with holiday carols being sung the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The island charm was just what we needed to get us into the holiday spirit. This cottage was just lovely and I'm sure we'll be back since it's such a short trip from Seattle. Working with Joel was so easy and he even made a great reccommendation for a potential wedding site/venue that we were also able to see that weekend.

Joel and Julia's Beach House is just right for a relaxing stay and a good base for adventuring on Whidbey! Everything is well set up and very comfy. The beach across the street stretches a long way in either direction and is very walkable, particularly at lower tides. Many cool adventures, including wine tours, crafts, cool towns and casual-elegant dining are available in the neighbourhood, and their recommendations are right on the mark. Dinner at the Inn at Langley is a bucket-list dining experience if your wallet can tolerate it :-) We'll be back.

The perfect get-away!

This place is like living in a dream cottage! The view of the beach is amazing and the actual beach even better! The location makes you feel like you are miles away but you have all the comforts of home. We made all of our own meals and ate outside or in the charming kitchen and enjoyed time in front of the wood burning fire place. The loft is incredible and gives privacy for two couples to stay easily. Can't say enough about how lovely this place and the Island are - the place looks even more cozy and perfect than the pics!

Beautiful beach visit

Stayed: September 2012
We had an absolutely wonderful weekend stay here in September. The beach
out front is beautiful and we walked the beach for miles everyday. The house is
exceptionally well done, with drastic attention to detail and beauty
featured in everything from the floorboards to the fabrics. The
neighborhood is a true gem and the proximity to the necessities is
fantastic. We will definitely be back, next time for a longer trip. Thank
you Joel for your fantastic communication and service as well. Everything
was just perfect.
