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.

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. ##### Sophie P. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol B. 3 Oct 2024 #### Location, location, location! Heron house is very comfortable and right on the water with stunning views (from every room in the house!) of the water and the beautiful clouds, wild life including great blue herons, kingfisher birds, geese, seals, and even deer families sauntering along the water’s edge at low tide, as well as of the distant mountains including Mt. Baker. So remember to bring binoculars! There is a big deck too for enjoying the views with coffee or cocktails, but remember to bring camping chairs in case there is no outdoor furniture. It is also just a short walk to the quaint old town of Coupeville that has some great restaurants, a wonderful ice cream store, coffeehouses, galleries, specialty shops and a historic wharf. There is even a small but lovely farmer’s market a few blocks away from the town. Needless to say, we enjoyed our visit immensely! Thank you! ##### Carol B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Lynsie J. 22 Apr 2024 #### Spectacular Location…. Heron House has a phenomenal location and gorgeous views. The home and decor are super cute. The house needs a deep cleaning (stained sinks/tubs, corrosion on faucets, dirty baseboards, dirty heater vents, etc). And some maintenance work (cracks in ceiling, crumbling drywall in places, some paint chips and wall staining). Despite having the most amazing deck, there is no patio furniture or gas grill available for renters (appears the owners lock all their outdoor things up in a shed). There was no liquid hand soap in bathrooms, no Kleenex anywhere. An air freshener could go a long way here to make it smell fresh. Truly an amazing location that with a few personal touches would really shine. ##### Lynsie J.

We saw otters, seals, and beautiful boats all week. The decor is restful and looks like a decor magazine. Some drawers to put clothes in would be nice. Beds were comfortable and we had enough of the provided laundry & toiletry supplies for a week for a family. Great for a multi-generational vacation. My mom had her own space downstairs w access to kitchen, bath, & deck and we had kids and us upstairs to give her some privacy & quiet. We got food to take back to the house several times because you couldn’t beat the view & privacy.

Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 From a partner site ### 4/10 Poor #### Steven C. 11 Jan 2023 #### Nice house. Great location. LOUD plumbing problem nearly ruined it all 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. ##### Steven C.

It was a quick stroll to coffee, restaurants and shopping. ##### Jamie W.

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. ##### Debe M.
