Are you ready to get away from it all and enjoy a truly peaceful retreat? This waterfront, family-friendly home is ready to provide you the best experience ever! With two levels full of comfort, great amenities, and a prime location right in front of Penn Cove (views are simply out of this world), your getaway to Coupeville will be unforgettable. Start your mornings off on the right foot with a delicious and steamy cup of coffee in the deck as you take in unparalleled Penn Cove views. Later, you can treat your guests to a tasty homemade meal prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen. What's better than snuggling up on the sofa after lunch? Nothing! The set of inviting sofas in the living room is the perfect place to unwind and recharge batteries before heading out to explore Coupeville. You can turn on the flatscreen TV and watch something fun. The waterfront firepit is another great place to gather with your friends–prepare some hot beverages (or cold, if you visit during summer) and roast some s'mores as you all enjoy the marvelous views and share fun stories. And that’s not it! Heron House on the Cove features four work stations if you need to catch up with work or if your kids need to do some homework. There are two fold-up desks in addition to a small desk in the kids’ room and kitchen table.

What's nearby:
Welcome to the historic and charming village of Coupeville, the perfect location to disconnect from reality and experience a quiet and relaxing vacation. You'll be sitting right in front of Penn Cove. A must-visit here is the nearby The Coupeville Wharf (350 yards); it's a symbol of the seafaring days of yore. There you can find a working boat dock, The Salty Mug (coffee shop), a gift store, and a restaurant. Roughly 350 yards as well is downtown Coupeville where you'll find a dozen restaurants, cafes and coffee houses, art galleries, clothing boutiques, and home design stores. Learn about this village's rich history at the Island County Historical Society Museum (350 yards away as well). Four and a half miles south is Fort Casey State Park for a more outdoorsy adventure; a campground, picnic area, and stunning views from the Admiralty Head Lighthouse can be found there.

Perfect getaway!
We came for a weekend birthday celebration and couldn’t have had a better time at Heron House! 10/10 location, adorable decor, clean, comfortable, and insane views from nearly every window in the house. The kids loved all of the board games and cozy blankets provided. Walking distance to all of the cute shops in Coupeville. We will be back for sure! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Heron house
Location is excellent!! Private quiet surroundings. Was a bit deceiving from photos that living room and kitchen were adjacent but that did not take away from the stay. The only obstacle was based on photos that the patio furniture and fire pit table would be available for use and when we arrived they were locked in storage. Kim and team were very responsive and was very kind to come and pull out for us . A very lovely stay!

Amazing view and location
The Heron House on the Cove has the perfect view, location and comfortable beds. First night we found that the BBQ propane tank was empty. The only contact info given us if we needed anything was a web address. We talked to a man in Kissimmee, FL, a woman in Portland, OR, and finally got a number to reach the local manager of the cleaning staff. We finally got the propane tank the last night we were there. Your renters really need a local contact number.

Property failure
The property itself would have been enjoyable if it had not been for the sump pump failure which left a sewage odor in the house. We were unable to use the washing machine, dish washer, or take a shower for fear of overloading the only operating sump pump. The toilet had to be used sparingly. Also access to the property is down two steep sets of stairs which made packing items in and out very tedious. We relocated from this property the next day with the help of the Vacasa property manager, but we lost a day of our vacation moving in and out of the property.

Great stay!
We had a great stay at this house right on the water! Our daughter loved looking out at the ducks and seals as they swam by. We also were an easy walking distance into the shops in Coupeville and centered on Whidbey for exploring multiple locations. We’d definitely stay again!

Fabulous location
The house is in a perfect location, literally on the water and a very short walk to shops. The bedrooms were nice size with comfortable beds. We loved sitting out on the deck watching otter and seal lions play in the water. My only reason for not giving it five stars was cleanliness. The house needs a good spring cleaning.
