Reviewer Comments:
We love Whidbey Island & have stayed at many places on Mutiny Bay and Useless Bay over the years, including other units in this complex. The condo overall was nice but the amenities were limited -- especially for $300/night.The condo was stated to sleep 6. When my husband pulled out the sleeper sofa it was quickly apparent that it would be excruciatingly uncomfortable. He found an air mattress in the closet, which, presumably, was there to make up for the discomfort of the sleeper sofa. Unfortunately the air mattress wouldn't hold air & after trying to reinflate it for hours throughout the night he finally gave up. We contacted Tara & were told the air mattress was not on their list; that was followed up with a text that they'd try to find an air mattress. That was the last we heard about it. So, a couple of us took turns sleeping on the couch throughout the week (not the pulled-out sleeper but the couch itself).There were 4 bath towels. 4 bath towels for 4 people for a week is very poor, especially when some of us were using the pool and also swimming in the ocean and therefore taking frequent showers. We had to wash towels throughout the week.Of course doing laundry was challenging with no laundry detergent. Having a great washer and dryer is pretty diminished when no laundry detergent is provided.The tennis court was out of commission for most of the week. Starting around Tuesday, the nets were taken down & workers were there on multiple days. This was extremely disappointing. We only used the courts once when we first got there.On our last full day, the swimming pool was closed for several hours due to an HOA meeting. I understand this sort of thing happens, but it would have been great to have been given notice ahead of time. My son and I had planned our day around going to the pool at a certain time and arrived there in our swimsuits only to be turned away. Even though we liked the condo & l
