We had a wonderful time staying in this house.(3 adults and a doggy) The house was amazing and so clean. Property manager was responsive and kind when we reached out. We hope go back soon!
This was the perfect place for my two sisters and me to stay for a short trip to Whidbey Island! It was convenient to Oak Harbor and very comfortable with everthing we needed. Would definitely stay again!
Our stay was wonderful. House was clean and spacious. View was fantastic. Kitchen provided everything we needed to create family dinner. We were very pleased with our stay at the Balda Getaway. I would absolutely stay here again.
The kitchen has nice appliances and a lot of room. The house was very clean and comfortable, with enough towels/blankets and a decent selection of kitchen implements for a short term rental. Our dogs enjoyed the yard and spacious rooms. The bathtub and shower are very spacious and 2 1/2 bathrooms made things a lot easier for our family.If I had suggestions for the host, maybe add an additional chair to the living room and get a stainless steel skillet instead of nonstick to stand up to the demands of short term guests :). Lovely stay, lovely property overall, made our vacation comfortable and restful.
The house was beautiful and super clean! Very easy to communicate with the property manager and they were very sweet and accommodating. Very close to town and has privacy. Would definitely stay here again and recommend
This is a large, spacious home with an incredible view of the Puget Sound. The host provided a nice coffee station in the kitchen. There are nice showers with good water pressure. The house is quiet and located not too far from town. It was a good "home base" for us while we explored the island.
Very roomy and more space than expected. Could have used more chairs in living room and pans that weren’t scratched. Otherwise we were very comfortable and enjoyed the view.
We had such a wonderful stay here! It was the perfect place to get together with friends and family while we were visiting. The best part was the view, spacious home with a great layout, very accessible to a ton of fun activities. We had a minor issue upon arrival that was quickly resolved by the couple that manage the property. There are so many windows to enjoy the amazing views but it does get warm inside in the summer. We really appreciated all the fans they provided. Kitchen is well stocked, we would love to come back and visit again!
We loved our stay on Whidbey Island, this location is right outside Oak harbor very accessible to Coupeville and the fabulous Fort Ebey. Safeway just 2mins away. Quiet neighborhood - look for the owl if you're up early, we took three teens with us and had plenty of room. Very quick responses from management. Highly recommend.
This house was so comfy and spacious. My family and I loved it so much. Such a nice, open floor plan, comfy beds, nice bathrooms, clean, able to have our fur babies with us with fenced-in yard, massive kitchen, great laundry room, operational fire place, quiet neighborhood with peaceful views, bunny rabbits hopping around, and great amenities. My 2 minor complaints are… there could be more seating in the living room. We have 5 ppl in our family and the couch was nice but very crowded, or we were sitting on the floor. And, since this place is pet-friendly, it really could use some lights in the backyard. It was pitch-black during the evening/night hours and it would’ve been nice to have some lights to keep an eye on the dogs while they were out. But even with those minor issues, we loved the place, the owner was extremely communicative and friendly, and we would definitely stay again.
We fully enjoyed our time here! Stunning views and comfortable space for 7 adults. (Which is hard to find). Such kind hosts - prompt in responding and so thorough!
Roomy peaceful place. We all enjoyed it. Suggestions: more glassware; plastic glasses for kids, wine glasses, beer glasses etc. Also dressers in the bedrooms would be helpful.
The house was great - wheelchair accessible so we could host my 85 year old mother for her birthday dinner. Perfect!

Great view poor host
Started our stay by having to wait at IHOP for several hours before receiving communication from the host for the code to get. Arrived to find a complete bed frame laying against the side of the home. After checking in we were notified that they would be sending a company over to spray for bedbugs. This would explain the reason for the bed frame being left outside. My parents refused to stay in the home due to there concern over the issue. The property knew prior to our stay and didn’t notify us. Obviously, we would have canceled. The pest control service explained that they did have to spray for bedbugs, after the owners said they did not. I felt they were very dishonest and put their profit before our comfort and safety. Disappointing stay because it is a cute home with a great view. We have never had such a poor experience and would not trust staying at a property they manage in the future.
We had a great time. House is set up nicely! The kitchen was great to make thanksgiving. The back yard for the dogs and kids was great !! And the view was marvelous!!!
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!
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.
