The Heron House is well appointed inside, but the true delights are outside: the deck, the view, the wildlife, the water...! Amazing.
We had a couple of issues, a broken shower door and no propane, but these were taken care of quickly, and other than that our visit was outstanding. We'll be back very soon.

There is much to like about the Heron House. It is right on the water, and it is a five-minute walk to restaurants. But, there was a serious deal-breaker. There is a plumbing problem - when any water runs there was a loud noise that shook the floor in the kitchen. Very, very loud. Annoying, but not terrible. Here's the terrible part. It went off several times, for a period of hours, in the middle of the night. We couldn't sleep. We were about to leave and find another place to stay when we figured out why the plumbing noise went off in the middle of the night. We discovered that the downstairs toilet leaked - and so it was constantly refilling the tank - all day and all night. Once we figured that out, we just shut off the water to the downstairs toilet. It was a bit of an inconvenience, but better than the constant racket. It gets worse: Vacasa was not very helpful. Text messages got robo-replies. They were of no help in figuring out the problem. We were told that the owner was aware that there was a problem - which means that the owner just chose to do nothing about it.
There were other minor problems, but discussing them is like complaining about the arrangement of the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Nice house. Nice location. Don't rent it again until the plumbing gets fixed. And, Vacasa, you need better customer service.

The views of the water and wildlife from every window were amazing! The kitchen was well stocked. Coupeville is an adorable little town. The home could use a good deep clean.

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!

Fabulous location in Coupeville - house is roomy and well appointed. Comfortable and relaxing for our family trip - best part is the deck right out over Penn Cove. Checking my calendar for when we can return.

Perfect place to watch the tides and nature - otters, seals, bald eagles, and deer. The tides and Suva make for more relaxation viewing

Very Unique
Very unique, right on the water is so fantastic. We had our daughter and her husband and 19 month old that loved it. The town was shut down on M-W in March but didn't have the crowds of summer. Great place but must be ok with stairs.

Let’s talk about this view.
We had an amazing stay at Heron House. The views were remarkable; looking out from the upper bedroom, the lower bedroom, the kitchen & the living room. We saw Harbor Seals, otters & all sorts of birds, including heron. We also loved watching the tide come in & out each day. The house itself was clean, very comfortable, & well stocked. It’s also a short walk from shops & restaurants; we highly recommend walking to Sunshine Drip for coffee & a bite.

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!

I have never experienced a more magical location to enjoy peace and natural beauty every minute of the day as we did at the Heron House. I really didn't want to leave the master bedroom because the bed is that comfortable and the view is that incredible. We watched the Heron hunt every day and seals swim by and eat snacks right in front of the window. The kitchen is new and clean and very functional. We didn't use the other bedrooms but the queen room downstairs has a very nice view too and the 3rd bedroom has 2 twin trundles which must work nice for families. .2 miles to walk to restaurants. Deer right out front every night. Great parking space. Just a wonderful place and didn't want to leave.

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.

This home over the water is well laid out and roomy, with comfortable beds. The kitchen is very well equipped and the views, bird watching, and sunsets are spectacular. Vacasa, along with their local area manager, was very responsive when we encountered some minor maintenance and cleaning needs, which I am sure will be fully remedied and did not take away from our relaxing few days on Whidbey Island.
Thank you
