Its very much about island life and the natural world here. Guests come to enjoy the scenic views, hike the trails, walk the beaches, and explore the tidepools. Guests watch for local wildlife, such as eagles and herons, as well as grey and orca whales. Our tall Evergreens are a perennial draw.

I couldn't believe my luck when I came across this listing. I was looking to get out of the city with my dog. I wanted to be in the woods, but with beach access and a short walk/drive to good coffee. I figured I'd have to compromise on one of those desires, but then I found this listing. First, it's a GORGEOUS house. Floor to ceiling window facing the water, beautifully decorated, and the bed might be the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on. The kitchen was well equipped, as was the house in general. It's clear the hosts put a lot of thought into what a traveler might need while staying there (they even left dog toys and pet potty bags (which was nice because I ran out!) The area was PERFECT. Enough away from "town" that I didn't feel like a tourist, but close enough it was easy to do some shopping, and grab a bite to eat. The best part though was the hiking trail behind the house that heads all the way down to the water. It's a little steep, but I'm not an expert hiker and I did just fine and my dog absolutely loved it! I'm always a little stressed traveling with my dog, even though he's a good boy and potty trained — but Hillside Haven was perfect for a pet companion. The floors are cement so paw prints don't show and there's plenty of room outside to run around and sniff. My dog loved sitting in the big window watching the deer (there are a lot of deer) and bunnies run past. The neighbors were all lovely as well! (Unlike some places who seem to resent having a vacation home on their block.) One neighbor offered me pears from their tree! I worried the house might be too big for a solo traveler, but I couldn't have been more wrong. I mostly kept to the main floor, other then to use the well equipped laundry room upstairs, and it was the perfect retreat. I read, I wrote, I cooked. I stared at the water for hours. I felt my shoulders finally relax. I was the perfect week to unwind and get centered. Just me and my dog. The hosts were communicative, but not overwhelming. There's a great welcome book with personal recommendations from them (and for the most part, I agreed! You must get the scones mentioned in the book!) I would absolutely book this stay again! Five stars from start to finish!

Beautiful home that sits on a hill overlooking Puget Sound. The huge windows were great for viewing wildlife and watching the tides go in and out. We especially enjoyed the trails to take a hike right out the front door of the home. The patio and outside landscape were gorgeous. As for the inside of the home it had all the amenities we needed and was super clean. We look forward to staying at Hillside Haven again!!

Incredible getaway- this spot has everything you need. Beautiful location, peaceful and organized. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were very thankful for the hosts quick and attentive communication.

We had a great time with our 2-year old, and a small dog. There are small tags throughout the house, which shows that Vanessa puts a lot of thoughts on creating a great experience. Having a crib was super convenient for us, and the piano by the window was a great surprise, and our little one enjoyed playing with it.

The perfect place to relax after days exploring Whidbey's parks, trails, and towns. The home has a cozy cabin feel complete with gorgeous views. We really appreciated the amenities and recommendations the hosts provided. Be sure to keep an eye out for deer as you make your way through the neighborhood!

We loved our stay at Vanessa’s house! It is totally ADA accessible which was lovely for our WC dependent guest. The house is beautiful and has everything needed plus fun amenities. The floor to ceiling windows on the first floor provide an amazing view of the Sound and sunsets. We would love to return.

My family, husband, baby and dog, spent the weekend at Vanessa’s place. What a wonderful place, it was a true haven! It was as described, if not better. It was clean, organized and well thought out. Our only regret was not staying more days. We will definitely be back!

We had a really lovely stay in this home. Perfect for a romantic, quiet getaway, BUT also would be perfect for a family getaway. We cannot wait to bring our kids! This home is very comfortable, clean, unique and oh so beautiful. I have never seen more organized & responsive host! There is so much we loved about this home, from the beautiful living room view window to the hiking trails that lead all through the beautiful forrest. We wanted to be tucked away and comfortable and we got just that! The EV charger was a cherry on top! Lots of sleeping areas throughout the house to bring a group too. Only 15-20 min away from Langley and only 7 min away from a beautiful walkable beach! Lovely stay! Thank you so much!
