Anchorage Inn was lovely the moment we arrived…read more The inside is just as beautiful as the outside. The owners are so welcoming and informative. They even provided us with a list of the restaurants and things to do in town. The view from the balcony outside our room was chef's kiss! The bed was comfortable, the tv had Roku, and it was fun to play around with the colors of the flames in the "fireplace." The room was a bit small, but that didn't matter so much, since this is a bed and breakfast stay. The breakfast was delicious and filling. Breakfast entrees change every day, and on our day we had a hearty, flavorful bacon quiche. They did offer other options, like spinach quiche, or a gluten free breakfast (I think it was an omelette that day), which is very considerate. We also were given a fruit and yogurt bowl, and what I think was chocolate chip pound cake. Coffee was continuously poured into our cups. I would definitely stay here again if I were to return to Coupeville!

This place is a dream! Our family has stayed in a lot of places but nothing that exceeds our…read moreexpectations like here! From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted with such grace & warmth. The rooms were exquisite with everything you could ever need and more! Seeing the view of the town and the water took our breath away! The breakfast that was provided was masterful! We were lucky to enjoy it all in such a beautiful setting. Perfect location as well! We walked easily down to the water off the center of town, shops, coffee & had a wonderful dinner only a block away at Ciao, which we had great Italian Food in a warm friendly environment (Try the Cioppino & Pizza, it's to die for!). If you're looking for a place to stay where you'll get a true experience of what this charming town is all about....this is it!

The place is filthy and falling apart. Disgusting. This…read moreproperty should be removed from this site. The rooms advertised are not avaliable except one and it was disgusting. The building is falling apart and rotting. Broken windows. The dust, dirt, mold and mildew were so bad that in less than a minute my eyes and sinuses were blown up in allergic reaction. We were afraid to touch anything. Fixtures falling off the wall in the bathroom. Black mildew on the shower curtain. We fled as soon as we found a room in Oak Harbor. Just grabbed our bags and ran. The place was absolutely disgusting. Pictures are at least a decade old. Fire hazzards everywhere. There is no way the place is up to code. Basically a bait and switch. They shouldn't be allowed to keep our money. The Bates Motel would have been better.

One of the dirtiest places that we have ever stayed in! We stayed in the "Wisteria Cottage" which…read moreis a detached little building. The buildings are old (we like historic B n B's) but, except for the bathroom, everything was filthy. It's cheaper than most but we found out why! Won't make that mistake again.

My mother and I recently stayed at Garden Isle's Admiral House for the second year in a row. The…read morehost, Rick, is wonderfully friendly and accommodating and the home just right for our needs. The house has a ramp from the private driveway and a step-in shower which are( perfect for my 86-year old mom who has some mobility issues), plenty of beds for us and our companions, two nice full bathrooms plus a half bath, and a big great room living area with a nice functional kitchen, dining room, and family room. The yard is spacious and even has a play area with swings and slides that were great fun to explore with my 5 year-old great nephew. The Admiral House isn't fancy, but it's clean and nicely decorated. We'll return again and highly recommend this if you want to stay in a nice home within walking distance of downtown Coupeville.

Unfortunately for me, the dates I needed were unavailable, but she gave me several other places to try and was incredibly sweet and lovely to talk with. Based on this first impression, the Compass Rose will definitely be my first call the next time I get to Whidbey Island.

A magical experience! My husband and I stayed with the Bronsons this July, and from the moment we…read morestepped across the threshold, we were treated more like visiting family members than bed-and-breakfast guests. After greeting us warmly at the door, Mrs. Bronson sat us down in the parlor for tea and a chat about our plans for the trip. She also listed off a mind-boggling number of options for our two breakfasts; we settled on applecakes with cinnamon and waffles with real cherries jubilee, if you can believe it. The food was delicious, served in formal courses on beautiful china and crystal. The house itself is a literal treasure trove, spilling over with the Bronsons' international collections of books, knickknacks, furniture and sundries. The overall effect is somewhere between a Studio Ghibli film and the set of "Practical Magic". It's very understandable that they can't host small children! For older guests, though, it's difficult to pry yourself out of the building to see the other sights on the island. We enjoyed viewing antique photographs on a Victorian-era stereoscope and listening to a music box with swappable punched-metal discs, and spent a pleasant evening sipping port and playing chess in the upstairs parlor, feeling very posh. Between the delightful host and hostess, the wonderful food, and the completely unique furnishings, our time at the Compass Rose was unforgettable. We'll definitely be staying here again.

This is a wonderful place if you want to be close to town and still feel surrounded by nature. I was visiting for a workshop at the art center and if you were more energetic than I was, it would be within walking distance. I wish I had more time to stay to enjoy many more activities and sites. Maybe another time. I would certainly try and stay here again! One thing that struck me as special was Holly's care to provide breakfast items to meet your own personal tastes and her daily housekeeping service and fresh flowers.

we will be dreaming about this place for the rest of forever and that is not an exaggeration…read more ok so the backstory: we did NOT plan to stay here. my partner got a bad migraine on our drive home to Seattle and we suddenly needed a dog-friendly place to stay, immediately, on short notice. we found captain whidbey in a bit of a desperate scramble and oh my god it literally changed our lives. we stayed in one of the cabins and it was PERFECTION. like every single detail: the local treats they leave out, the robes, the fireplace, the cozy bed with a view of the actual ocean. i just laid there in disbelief (with a big ol smile) that this was real life. stunning doesn't even cover it. and THEN. the restaurant. oh my GODDDDDD. the cherry on top of the most perfect accidental stay. the food was creative and beautifully executed and the service was just incredible: so warm and personal. they were SO accommodating to my many dietary restrictions without a single moment of awkwardness, which honestly made me want to cry a little (in a grateful way). also!!! BREAKFAST DELIVERED TO YOUR CABIN IN THE MORNING!!! they just bring it right to your door and you eat it in your robe by the fire and look at the ocean and you think "yes. this is it. (in the words of the wise Hannah Montana) this is the life." my partner and i loved it so much we are now genuinely considering having our wedding here. will start saving up now (lol) but truly if you ever have the chance to stay here, do not hesitate for even one second. just be warned it will change your life and you will be able to think of nothing else for weeks (possibly even months) after
