Nestled among the trees with Mutiny Bay and mountain views, this log-style home is the ideal place to get away from it all. Grab a favorite read and kick back in the main living room where large windows invite in the scenic backdrop. In the entertainment space off the living area, a dart board, arcade game, and TV provide hours of entertainment. The fun continues downstairs with a pool table and retro-gaming console featuring over 5,000 games including Nintendo and Sega. Prepare favorite recipes in the modern kitchen, outfitted with stainless steel appliances. When it's time to eat, gather at the dining table with one another. Afterward, take a relaxing soak in the new hot tub.

Ample outdoor living space offers more space to unwind. Stretch out on the sectional on the main deck, or fire up the gas grill and dine alfresco at the table. Two additional balconies each have seating for guests -- a perfect perch for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The enclosed yard features plenty of room for lawn games.

Great place for a family getaway!

We had up to 10 people staying over our week at Blue Heron Lookout. The location was great for a quiet family vacation, but also not too far from amenities. My kids enjoyed the hot tub, game room, and toys. The adults loved having the big deck for dining and relaxing.

Quiet and Homey

Kichen is very clean and well laid out. Check in was a breeze. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood with the grocery store near by and quick access to a small, but nice beach (2 minute drive or 15 minute walk). The game room was nice for the kids and the upstairs was very light and bright woth a nice view.

Very well-equipped vacation home

Everything we wanted was here: proximity to the beach, a hot tub, a nice fire pit with logs and smores sticks, a whole bunch of board games for both kids and adults, a gaming room, a deck with a nice view, and a nice sized front yard with games. Everyone had a blast here!

Blue Heron review

Loved this place, been there a few times, something to do for all ages. Great views could sit all day and watch the ships go through the channel. House itself coul use a little general maintenance, but overall love coming here.

Clean, comfy, great for groups

We only had three adults but this very clean, very spacious home would be great for families or small groups. It’s very comfortable and convenient to getting around on south Whidbey. We stayed during a very warm weekend but the house is shaded and a nice breeze blows through screened windows. The hot tub was awesome to unwind. I recommend!

Booked this home as a last-minute getaway. We were very excited for all the amenities. Great location, close to the beach and grocery store. Sectional couch was very cozy and comfortable.Game room was great, but darts and arcade were broken. Unfortunately, the hot tub, outdoor furniture, grill were not clean so we didn’t use them. Bathroom and kitchen were not thoroughly cleaned either. Due to all the windows and doors, we expected more privacy and secure locks.

Good location

Good location close to a public beach and town. Had issues with the kitchen fridge/freezer maintaining temp as the seal on the freezer is broken. Reported to property manager and was able to use the mini fridge and freezer in the game room.

Great spot for board gaming!

My friends and I have been looking for a good spot to hang out and game, and this house was the winner. The dinner table was large enough to play most games on. Everything was neat, the beds were comfortable and the hot tub was super hot. The only complaint was the downstairs bedroom had a window that faced the neighbors yard and did not have a curtain. We will book this one again.

Good location, quiet neighborhood, ample room for a family

This is our 2nd time staying here and we could see some improvements have been made. Two of us stayed in the master bedroom but there are 2 bedrooms and a small bathroom with small shower in the lower floor for kids or another couple. Lots of room outside for games and on the patio. We found the sofa downstairs to be quite comfy for TV watching. WiFi was good. Nice view of the ships going by and sunsets from the living and dining room. We missed seeing that there was a game room and hot tub in the description but noted it in the guest book comments. Will definitely check that out if we come back!

Nice view but that's all

We liked the view from upstairs. Upstairs area was fine. Downstairs was tight, the video game did not work, there were old sheets on the sofa bed, and insects on the floor. It was advertised as sleeping 11 people. It was tight for just 7 people and 3 left early because of the insects.

Lots of room

Top floor nicely done. Good view of water with lots of windows. Dishwasher appears to have been broken for a while as all dishes needed to be hand-washed. Bottom floor had A/C, top floor did not. Bottom floor good for kids with pool table & arcade game. Downstairs couch & carpet need a cleaning. Backyard with hot tub & fire pit not appealing as needed a vegetation cleanup & stairs on left side of yard a safety hazard for children. Used front yard games.

Great Location…but house needs work

The house and the space are great. It was a great layout, well stocked kitchen and items for kids. We had only 3 towels for 4 guests…and a hot tub. The dishwasher was leaking, so we called Vacasa to let them know. Hopefully they told the owners. We had no local contact for more towels or let them know of the water leak. The home also has a very strong old house / mildew smell. Like super strong. It seems like they did a great job cosmetically with their remodel, but plumbing / mold / mildew wasn’t addressed. We’d stay again if that issue could get fixed. Also like other reviews noted, the arcade machine does not work. The view is lovely.

Our stay

We loved the property and size. The house was great. The game room was amazing. The view was perfect. There are things that could have made it better. If you have a no shoes policy- please have clean floors. Our bare feet were black within an hour of being in the house. Having four gardeners show up to work in the yard while we were there felt intrusive. The door on the garage needs a better lock. Curtains in floor level rooms would also be nice. We didnt have cleaning supplies for the counters. There wasnt enough dishwasher soap for the amount of days we were staying. Several dishes in the cupboards were dirty upon arrival. And there were only a few measuring tools. The grill on the deck did not have propane. The steps in the backyard are rotted and someone could get hurt. Just fixing a few minor things would make the stay even better. We would stay here again even with the minor quirks.

East Coast/West Coast Family Vacation

We could not have stumbled upon a more relaxing, comfortable and generously appointed spot to call home while we visited Whidbey Island. We enjoyed all of our meals on the front deck with those lovely views of Mutiny Bay. Comfortable beds, 2 spacious living areas to spread out, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the arcade cabinet! We will forever treasure the memories we created at your beautiful home!
