Experience the wondrous natural beauty of Whidbey Island at this perfectly located Coupeville escape, the lower garden level of a Northwest-style cabin. You'll have a patio and a grassy lawn right outside your door, as well as spectacular views of sailboat races, holiday fireworks, and the twinkle of city lights across Penn Cove. Wake up to the sun rising over the water each morning, and spend your days kayaking, crabbing, and paddleboarding from the nearby community beach. Return back to comfortable furnishings, a fireplace, a TV, and a kitchenette with bar seating. The shared hot tub is the perfect space to unwind before getting a good night's rest - another great day sits on the horizon!

This comfortable property faces eastward, allowing it to receive the warmth of the morning sun. It's a short stroll (or a quick, easy drive downhill) to the community's private beach. This home is also close to the charming shops and restaurants in downtown Coupeville (three miles west), the stunning waterfront hiking trail at Ebey's Landing (five miles west), Fort Casey State Park (six miles south), the ever-popular Whidbey Pies Cafe at Greenbank Farm (nine miles south), and darling downtown Langley (24 miles southeast).

Good location and views. It is a downstairs apartment and would be noisy if upstairs is occupied (which it was for one of the nights) as evidenced by the guest book comments.

Charming stay
I so wanted to give this place a 5 star rating. Staff addressed every problem immediately. Very impressed!! Loved the location . Down fall , no heat in the bedroom our electric kept turning off. Since the braker is in the upstairs apt, we had to wait for someone to turn it back on. You can hear the guest above you walking around. Kids sounded as if they were playing football one night. All that said, I would still stay here again but I would request an upstairs unit nxt time. We still had a beautiful time in Washington. Very blessed. JR

Better places to stay
This basement 1 bedroom, can be a great place to stay, if the it were cleaned properly. When we arrived, we noticed the comforter was not clean, so we pulled back the sheets. They were dirty, went to replace them, but the next set had blood stains, we continued to look, finally found a clean set. We made the bed and bought a new comforter. The blue couch pictured is awful smelling. We placed sheets on it and did not sit on it. Don’t look up, we did and were surprised to see not just 1 or 2 dead bugs in the light fixture but a dozen. The hot tub did not look safe to use, very cloudy and strong smell of bleach. We were discouraged by this unit but hope this review finds the right set of eyes to address the cleanliness of this unit. It can be so cute, if cleaned and smelled better. There are better places to stay.

Unable to enter upon arrival. Trouble parking.No heat or ac control. Very loud.
We left a day early. The walls are paper thin. And the 14 person rental above was up until 3am both nights we were there. I don't blame them. Do not rent octopus den unless you are also willing to stay up with your neighbors. You do not control the heat and your quality of sleep. The first night we were boiled and the second night we froze. Also the driveway is meant to fit 4 cars for the rental property, but we found that we couldn't do so without double parking a car. When we arrived the door code worked. But the deadbolt above it was locked. So we had to wait 20 minutes for the house keeper to arrive and let us into the space. Overall I can tell the owner is doing everything possible to make the octopus den a cozy couple getaway.. new fridge and new dining table. But without resolving the heating, parking, and sound problems, I'm not sure I could recommend this "separate" lower space in the house to anyone.

The booking being occupied when we arrived. After we entered the unit, we found other people's possessions and were soon followed in by the owner of these possessions. He said he had a confirmed reservation for the property and spoke with the owners when he arrived. We spent over an hour on the phone talking to Vacasa. It turns out the tenants who were renting the main house had occupied the basement unit that we had reserved, since there is a staircase that connects them. We were told that once we enter the unit we could lock the door to the stairs that went upstairs, but we couldn't because we didn't have the key. About an hour later some people arrived to clean the unit, and they told us that the key was in the main house. So even if the upstairs tenants hadn't entered the unit that night and taken it over, they could have entered it any time during our stay. This was incredibly distressing, and is a safety issue. This situation could have easily become hostile dangerous, the tenants were outside and saw us enter the unit, and immediately followed us in and confusion ensued regarding the booking. The host refunded some of the fees, I requested one of the nights be refunded due to the safety issue and the impact on our stay. They ignored my texts ever since. I tried Expedia, since that's how I found the property, but I was told they couldn't help because I didn't contact them within 24 hours, even though I contacted Vacasa since they were the number listed on the booking.

Safety and security issue with a lackluster response.

It turns out the tenants who were renting the main house had occupied the basement unit that we had reserved, since there is a staircase that connects them. There was a significant delay while this was sorted out. We were told that once we enter the unit we could lock the door to the stairs that went upstairs, but we couldn't because we didn't have the key.

I tried seeking help from Expedia, since that's how I found the property, but I was told they couldn't help because I didn't contact them within 24 hours. I assumed contacting Vacasa was sufficient, since they're who expedia goes through, but I was wrong. I tried contacting Vacasa again about all this and got an email saying they would "forward it to their local manager." Overall the clear lack of concern for our safety and our experience overshadowed the entire experience.

Pretty but horrible acoustics
Our first night was awful. My husband was sick. The people upstairs paced all night. You could hear everything. I had to finally go upstairs around midnight. Parking is also a little sketchy. Especially when cleaning crew pulls in and blocks you. Gravel walkway treacherous when it is raining. The unit is darling. Location beautiful. But the noise level would prevent me from ever returning. I actually would like a refund of some type.

Secluded and beautiful little stay in the Octopus den! We lucked out as I believe we were the only couple renting in the property so it was a very nice stay. Had the jacuzzi to our selves and no noise above us. Recommend captain whidbey for dinner, beautiful little restaurant!

Location, location, location
This property is located in a tranquil residential area not far from the charming town of Coupeville. We used this as a base for a week of exploring the island by bike and found the central location worked perfectly for a variety of biking loops, with or without a car*. Coupeville has multiple great options for lunch and dinner but you’ll also find the kitchen reasonably serviceable for self catering and the back garden is a lovely spot for a casual outdoor meal for two. Walkers will also enjoy the short, paved stroll down to the bayside beach below the house. This is a great spot for R&R. *Beware that the steepest hill you’ll find on Whidbey is the one you’ll have to climb up to the main road as you start each day. Makes for a fun finale though!

Perfect! But, loud if there are guests above you.
We loved the hot tub, and the space, the view. Wonderful! Enjoyed the access to the private beach. Theme was adorable. Had a bit of trouble regulating the heat effectively. It was either cold, or way too hot and never figured it out. The first day we could hear EVERY foot step, cough, baby crying at 5:15am and a kiddo running back and forth above out heads very loudly. The second night there were no guests upstairs and it was HEAVEN. Parking was a bit tricky, but we made it work. Great location. So, it was clean and lovely and would have been 5 stars if not for the noise. Maybe they need to invest in area rugs upstairs? Otherwise, very fun!
