Clean, comfortable, quiet

This house is very spacious, clean, and well-appointed. Great kitchen with all the supplies you could want (that I could see). The furniture, carpet, fixtures etc. aren't brand sparkling new or high-end or anything, but it was still just great for our needs. Recommend for big groups or families needing a place to stay on South Whidbey!

Beautiful Property, perfect for family stay

This is a beautiful property that was perfect for our week long family get together. We were visited by birds, chipmunks and deer in the garden. We enjoyed hanging out on the deck and used the grill for a cookout. There are two spacious living areas and plenty of space for 6 adults (plus 2 extra for one night). We visited Seattle, Everette, Langley and took a whale watching tour out of Anacortes. Lots is great together time and time spent outdoors. We definitely recommend this property for a family stay!

Minor issues

The first night we were there we would hear a faint moaning like sound. Sometimes about every 15 seconds. Someone in our group familiar with lift stations thought maybe this was the noise. We called management the next morning. I believe on Friday morning we woke to a loud buzzing noise!!! Again we called. Our person familiar with septic issues went outside and shut off the noise at the outside box, but the red warning light on the box stayed on. Again this was reported. And the outside trash bins were full and we also reported this issue. The home was very comfortable, kitchen pantry had a good selection of items! We were all happy with this aspect of our stay.

Pleasant Winter Getaway!

The house is well stocked, the beds are comfortable, and that deck is perfect for a morning cup of coffee looking at the lake, and for an owl to keep us company in the evening. Langley, with all of those cute shops (and great pizza) was close enough and decked out for the holidays. We had real family meals using the fully functional kitchen and the table was big enough to accommodate the boardgames perfectly! The driveway was steep, but okay since there was no ice. The wifi was good. Overall, my family really enjoyed the whole experience!

Goss Lake reunion

This is a nice property with an open floor plan in a peaceful location. There were a few minor issues with the lights in a couple of the rooms, but Vacasa addressed these quickly. Vacasa also brought by a propane cylinder for the grill, as the one provided cylinder was empty. Sadly, the grill ended up not working anyway. Overall a good experience though. A nice property at a good value.

Plenty of room, nice lake view

The house was clean, the pictures were accurate. There was an additional bed in the master bedroom that pulls out. The master bedroom has a balcony you can go on and the first floor deck has nice outdoor furniture although we didn't try out the heat lamps. Both the balcony and deck face the lake. Plenty of space, easy instructions for entering and leaving. Internet worked great. We didn't watch any TV or movies so can't speak to that. Dog friendly, although it has to be leashed since the small backyard area is not fenced. Highly recommend for people and dog owners!

Good time with friends

The home was clean and attractive and the kitchen was very well supplied. That includes not just the dishes, pans, etc. but spices, foil, and other pantry items. The mattresses were very comfortable in all four bedrooms and we slept well. It is clearly a beloved vacation home for a family. Through no fault of Vacasa or the owner, there was no cell phone connection available, no responding to texts, etc. We could receive texts and email but couldn't answer them. There was a land line in the master for emergencies but it would be helpful to have the number written on it. One member of the group would have appreciated a metal clothes rack in her room, even hooks on the walls and hangers, since there are no closets available. She was thinking of someone renting it for a place to stay for an island wedding. All four of us agreed that we would happily return to the house another time.

Spacious home in a beautiful setting - ideal for families

The house is spectacular - just as in the photos. Each room was just as nice as the next. The covered deck was fabulous and blended seamlessly with the indoor space. Lots of room for everyone, including two livingrooms. Games galore for the kids, a firepit, a fully stocked kitchen. The perfect place for a getaway.

Good stay

The living area was comfortable and spacious. The kitchen had ants that would appear when trying to prepare food. There were not enough plates for 10 people even though it sleeps 10. The master bed was not very comfortable. I sent a few messages to the property manager asking questions about the parking limitation of 2 vehicles but my questions weren’t answered properly. It felt like they didn’t really read my questions. The location was very nice and peaceful. I would probably stay here again.

Home for the holidays

I rented this for family visiting for Christmas, so I didn't actually stay in the house. From reports, the house was very comfortable. We did have a snowstorm, and the short, very steep driveway became a real problem. It would have been nice if the owner had provided a snow shovel.

Absolutely Lovely

House was perfect for a quick low key getaway with friends. Lots of room. Layout was spacious so we didn’t feel on top of each other. Our most used areas were the outside porch and inside by the fireplace. Very thankful for the grill and fireplace because of a 12 hour blackout that occurred across the island during our stay. Without them we wouldn’t have had warm food, light, or heat. It wasn’t how we expected the stay to go but we made the best of it and ended up having a good time. Will have to come back when we can fully enjoy everything.

Beautiful getaway

The place is adorable, the backyard is the best feature for sure! We sat for hours and enjoyed the birds chirping and bunnies hopping! Had a wonderful fire in the outdoor fire pit. I had been in contact with the manager about the outdoor lantern and mentioned how nice it would have been if there was firewood, and if the bird feeders had been full.. she had someone drop off birdseed and firewood a few hours later! Apparently the birds had been getting sick in the area off birdseed, so they hadn’t been using and forgot to refill. It was a wonderful touch to a beautiful trip! I wish the water pressure had been better.. I had booked the place because I was craving the huge bathtub, it’s just not possible to fill that tub with hot water. You will need many trips of pots of boiling water, lol! That was my only complaint! We woke up a few minutes late and the manager and cleaning crew was so understanding and awesome! Definitely want to come back longer next year.
