“Perfect in every detail!” Sandpiper Haven was truly a haven for myself and five other busy Moms who stayed there over a three day weekend! Not only was it neat, clean and absolutely darling, it was fully stocked with cooking ingredients and utensils, extra bedding, reading material, movies, bathroom necessities and anything you might need to make your stay comfortable. There is even a small flashlight hanging from the outdoor keypad in case guests arrive after dark! The owners have thought of everything! It is exceptionally well stocked. Our group planned elaborate meals and any ingredient we forgot (veg oil, butter, spices) was available in the kitchen! We had a great time walking the beach, enjoying the view, watching two bald eagles perched on the dock nearby and sitting by the stone fireplace chatting. Love the outdoor fireplace pit and the fragrant lavender plantings, too! I hope to come back with my family, because I know my kids will absolutely love the spot!

“Love the beach filled with shells” Our second time on Whidbey, and the location was well chosen. Close enough to Langley to shop and eat, yet not too far from Coupeville and other island towns. We did not go to Deception Pass as we had been there once before. Especially enjoyed hiking in South Whidbey State Park, where some could hike down to the beach and others do the full hike though the park. As I had read in other reviews, the 3rd bedroom, down on ground level, has a separate entrance which might be desirable for some renters, but we did not use that bedroom because it did not connect w/ the rest of house. Lovely views from inside and deck, and our 5 year old granddaughter enjoyed the little beach and picking up shells.

“Totally equipped” Not only was the cottage clean, had a great view, close to the beach, we've never stayed in a place that had everything. We tried to think of something that we needed that wasn't supplied....couldn't come up with anything. We will rent again. The property manager "Tara Properties" made the transaction simple. We will use Tara's service again. Very impressed.

“Beautiful and Interesting” The house is well stocked, a functional and interesting layout. The yard is huge, beautiful and excellently landscaped. The fire-ring is awesome. Just all around excellent.

“BEAUTIFUL DOLL hOUSE” This was one of the best vacations ever....we loved the house it was all the things that was stated and much more. Can't wait to come again!

“This beachfront setting for our family gathering exceeded our ex” We were seeking a place where our family of 12 could gather for a week to celebrate our 50th Wedding anniversary, and we certainly found that in the Whidbey Beach Retreat. We all, including our 2 sons and their wives, plus our grandchildren - ages 20, 17, 16, 15, 9 and 7 - had great sleeping accommodations. The huge dining table made family dinners enjoyable. The media room and the game room were a great surprise. Many breakfasts and lunches were enjoyed at the huge table on the deck. The fire pit (s'more central) and the spa tub were welcome diversions. The quality of the furnishings was exceptional. We were all new visitors to Whidbey Island and each of us came away with great memories. Just watching the tides was a full time "job" and seeing the eagles, seals, hummingbirds etc was fantastic. We were able to procure eveything we needed in the way of groceries, etc at Payless in Freeland and smaller stores in Langley. We're all committed to recycling, and we were amazed how easy it was to take our bags full of soda & juice cans and wine bottles to Island Recycling on Rt. 525.
