Perfect location to relax, unwind, renew and enjoy San Juan Island

Kittiwake Getaway is the perfect location to relax, explore and enjoy San Juan Island. Just minutes from Roche Harbor Resort! Relax in the sunny and bright living room with great natural light to take in natures surroundings or to just relax after a long day of sightseeing. Entertain in the fully equipped kitchen with bar seating and plenty of space for meal prep. Enjoy the expansive deck looking out to Speiden Island with propane BBQ and propane firepit table - the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the San Juan’s.

Kittiwake Getaway is very private on nearly an acre and is just minutes from Roche Harbor (heated pool open to Roche Harbor Resort guests and the public, you, for a daily fee paid at the pool- chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.rocheharbor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2024-Pool-Schedule-and-rates-1.pdf,) and Westcott Bay is only 15 minutes from Friday Harbor.

**I do provide a ring security camera that covers the driveway, parking area, and entrance to the home.**

There is vinyl plank flooring in the great room and bedrooms and tile flooring in the bathrooms and kitchen. There are lots of windows that let in the natural sunlight in the livingroom.

The spacious kitchen has granite countertops and stainless appliances. There is both a traditional Cuisinart coffee maker as well as a Keurig with frother, 4 slice toaster, vitamix blender, hand held blender, hand held mixer, salad spinner, crock pot, rice maker, large electric griddle and an electric kettle. The dining area has seating for 6 and there is also bar seating for 2. There is plenty of space to enjoy board games or to work on a puzzle. If you can’t unplug, the home does have a desk, StarLink wireless internet service and offers good cell phone reception.

Kittiwake Getaway offers 3 bedrooms with well-appointed sleeping for 6. The primary bathroom has an attached full ensuite with separate shower and jetted tub and is stocked with plush linens, shampoo and conditioner, bath and facial bar soaps and body gel. The same amenities are provided in the other bathroom. There is a king size bed in one of the other bedrooms and a queen size bed in the other. There is also a queen size air mattress available for a 7th guest, provided upon request, which is considered a 4th bed. It can be easily placed in the living room. Kittiwake Getaway does allow up to 7 guests. The 7th guest is $50.00 per night.

The expansive deck with a peekaboo view of the ocean across to Speiden Island offers a dining table with seating for 6, propane firepit table and propane barbeque and is a great place to relax and unwind from a days' adventure, or to enjoy the serenity of the surroundings which include beautiful madrona, fir, and evergreens and abundant wildlife such as deer, eagles, native birds and fox.

Kittiwake Getaway is just 1 1/2 miles from Roche Harbor Resort (Pool available Roche Harbor Guests and the public (you) for a daily fee. The pool is seasonal and occasionally closed to the public so be sure to check what the availability is during the dates you stay.

**Dog** Friendly! We allow up to 2 dogs. Pet Fee is $100.00 per dog per stay. VRBO does not provide the ability to add more than 1 Pet Fee at this time. Please let me know if you are bringing 2 dogs so I can send you the Pet Fee request for the second dog. No other pets are allowed.

While traveling it is often difficult to anticipate what the accommodations will consist of when you arrive. At “Kittiwake Getaway”, every effort has been made to provide an inviting “home away from home”. I have not skimped during the process of supplying the home with sundries, kitchen/ household items, appliances, and cookware. The home is meticulously cleaned between bookings. You can feel confident that every effort will be made to make sure your stay is a good and safe experience! No smoking allowed on the premises. Please remember, you are a guest, not a host. No more than booked number of guests and pets allowed on premises.

**Car charging is prohibited**

**Only booked guests and dogs allowed on the premises** If you have plans other than what your booking states, i.e. invite others for dinner or an afternoon to hang out, pre-approval is required. Please contact me with details.

San Juan gem in the woods
Had a wonderful time over Memorial Day weekend, despite the cold and rainy weather. The beds were super comfortable. We did not want for anything. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked, which was super helpful since we cooked all our meals at the house. Great attention to detail with the ammenities in the bedrooms and bathrooms. Even had two bald eagles hang out in the trees surrounding the deck for a bit.

Five Day Deep Dive Into SJI
We have visited SJI many times over the years but never as comfortably as this trip staying in Susan's property near Roche Harbor. It is spacious, up to date and the cleanest by far. From the bathrooms to the kitchen, it was very well supplied with high quality items. We were so comfortable and appreciative of the thoughtfulness of the hosts. Thank you!

Holiday Break
We arrived on Christmas Day and the house was nicely decorated. Not too much but still very festive. We enjoyed a little quiet time on the island and this was our second stay at this property and we thought the first visit was great, this was even better. There had been some updates to the dining room and the Adirondack chairs on the deck gave perfect seating for looking out at Spiden Island and the beautiful weather.

Wonderful House and Location
This property was immaculate, and well laid-out. The location was excellent, very close to Roche Harbor. The picture window showing the nearby inlet was very nice. The internet was fast, which sometimes isn't the case on San Juan Island. Overall the property was excellent!

Well-stocked house with a great lay-out
This was one of the most well-stocked vrbo houses that we have ever stayed at. We appreciate that since we did all of our own cooking. The gated hand railing around the large deck was perfect for the two dogs, and it even had two dog bowls. The adults appreciated the indoor coffee bar, and the kids loved the hammock! The house had a perfect layout for 2 couples and 2 children. Communication was excellent, and you could not get a quieter, safer location. We would recommend staying here.

Comfy and well stocked home
My girlfriends get together every year and explore a new piece of the Pacific Northwest. This was our first group trip to the San Juan islands and Susan’s home didn’t disappoint! The kitchen is well stocked so we could cook big meals to enjoy together. I appreciated all the little touches - like the ziplocks, coffee bar, nice shampoo/conditioner/ soaps etc. We enjoyed sitting together on the porch and soaking up the sunshine too. We played board games from the home and appreciated the selection of puzzles. This home is just as the photos show & has many touches the photos don’t capture. We’d definitely stay here again in the future and would recommend for someone who wants to be close to Roche Harbor or explore the island.
