We loved the property. It has direct beach access with a perfect view of the water. Note, since the property is in a private community there's no garbage service so you must take your garbage bags with you and dispose of them at the Everett marina. There is recycling on the island.

Hat Island is indeed a special place and this modern house is luxurious, especially the portion of the house that is the great room. My kids loved all the games and legos. The walks on the private beach were serene. Plenty of drift wood to build a fort with your children. We had brunch and dinner on the deck everyday with a breathtaking view of the water and Whidbey Island. We actually witnessed a bald eagle dive down and catch fish. No killer whale sightings, but we were told they passed by.
A few minor issues that did not detract too much were small spartan bathrooms with old/loose fixtures in the bedroom portion of the house, and loose fixture in the kitchen prep sink and low water pressure in the main kitchen sink. Freezer drawer and oven door needs some fine tuning too.
Overall, we had a great time and made memories. Thank you for sharing your house with our family.

I'll keep this review constructive. This house offers stellar views, easy access to the beach, a unique "off the grid" experience, and the availability of kids' toys, books, puzzles, etc. along with DVDs and music for all to enjoy. While we enjoyed these amenities and the tranquility the house has to offer, there were a number of factors that detracted from our stay. First, the cleanliness of the house was lacking upon our arrival - kitchen cabinets had baskets which were dirty, we found a stinky bucket underneath the sink which had crab remnants (and accompanying flies), and cobwebs were prominent - particularly along the ceilings and down the walls of most bedrooms. Further, for a luxury house (as posted), I would not expect that shower curtains would be dirty/moldy nor outside windows so dusty and strewn with cobwebs. Compounding our disappointment, the property owner expressed surprise at hearing about cobwebs - even after receiving evidence of such via pictures - noting that his co-owner had been there a few weeks prior and had a high standard for cleanliness (cobwebs can easily creep up in a week - especially in the summer). A "sorry" and communication with the island host about the issue was the follow-up, which did not help us out in any meaningful way; we were left to clean out the cobwebs and kitchen cabinet baskets. Second, the cleaning check-list should be transparent in the VRBO house posting for potential renters to view. This checklist included a request that all bedding and towels be washed and folded and all dishes put away. With a typical 10:00am checkout (we were thankful to get an extension to 12:00pm) and use of all 4 bedrooms, washing and drying all of the bedding alone requires at least 6 hours (for example, I started at 6am and did not get through all the loads of laundry by 11:30am); we felt this request unreasonable - particularly considering that we are charged not an insignificant amount for cleaning. As a renter during COVID times, we also did not feel comfortable trusting that a previous renter properly washed the bedding, which did not require washing the duvet. Knowing this after the fact, our party felt uncomfortable having slept with duvets that were not washed between stays. Maybe adding fuel to the fire with respect to these unreasonable cleaning requests was the lacking cleanliness upon our arrival.
