Water-view estate with on-site entertainment & 3 kitchens - events welcome

Great place for a large group

The house is big and very well equipped. Huge kitchen with tons of dishes. We had a big family reunion and the property worked really well for us - bedrooms for everyone, big yard and area to play or run around. It was easy to cook and serve big meals and people had space to just hang out and be together. The two separate living units are ideal for people who want to escape, or maybe for little ones to nap. The house itself is dated but that doesn't really matter. The space works for a big group and it's also in a great location on the island.

Great property with fantastic views. One of the few places in the state of Washington that can host large families (30+ people). So much to do on the property and in the surrounding area. Would highly recommend in the future! Thank you!

Lovely property with responsive hosts. Guests should note there's no air conditioning, though the host did provide box fans for each room. While there are laundry facilities, the well water has tannins that will stain whites, so we made some trips to a local Laundromat. Overall we loved our stay and highly recommend!

We held our annual family reunion at the Quintessa the week of July 6-13, 2024. We have held an annual family reunion since 1997 (except 2020) and this was the best place and absolutely the best hosts we have ever had. Not only was the house fully stocked with everything we needed (bath towels, beach towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, fully stocked kitchen, etc), but Carrie and Tessa were incredibly responsive and helpful with everything we asked. All 31 of our family members (ages 14-92) had a comfortable place to sleep. Whidbey Island is gorgeous too! Thanks so much, Carrie and Tessa!

The Quintessa was the perfect spot for our family reunion. We had over 35 people, ranging from 5 days old to 66 years old! Plenty of bedroom space, living spaces and the kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of cooking and dining supplies. The yard was the perfect space for our Family Olympics and there was plenty of space on the decks for family meals. Communication with the owner was quick and thorough. Highly recommend for any size group wanting to get away to enjoy the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

We love this house and it is the second time we have stayed here. There are great easy walks and a good playground for children short drives away. The only issue was the water pressure. It resulted in our having to thoroughly rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher (which acted more as a sterilizer). With so many people, this felt like a real waste.

We enjoyed our time and this place worked well for our family gathering of 40 people including a lot of babies too. There were plenty of supplies including towels & washcloths!

The immediate surroundings are rural and peaceful. Several interesting destination within 10-30 minute drive. The one problem that came up with the plumbing system was quickly resolved. Note that the main house only has 4 bathrooms.

Everyone enjoyed our time at this wonderful retreat. The weather cooperated and the couple was married, all to much fanfare. The grounds were a great setting for the nuptials.
