Dreamy!

Upon pulling into the property, you are immediately hit with a sense of peace and tranquility! Nothing could beat sitting in that hot tub over looking the ocean. Except when magical sunsets, fox visitors, and a warm cozy bed are included as well! We loved our stay so much, our kids were very sad to leave!

Nice stay to visit

The location is very nice, situated on a private beach with good access to Roche Harbor and the ferry terminal. The property offers decent amenities, making it suitable for a relaxing stay. However, the house could use some maintenance, particularly the deck, which really needs to be repainted. The outdoor grill lacks proper cleaning tools and is dirty; the wire cleaning brush is also overdue for replacement. Inside the house, some of the furniture is worn out and has torn areas. On a positive note, the kitchen is nice, and we enjoyed cooking during our stay.

A Gem

We enjoyed this place. My husband brought his portable kayak and had a great time on the water. I loved the swing! We enjoyed cooking in the well stocked kitchen. The sun room area made you feel like you were outside among the trees. A memorable time.

Beautiful View

The house sits on a beautiful property overlooking the water, and the huge windows accentuate the view. The house is comfortable and well maintained. We had a very relaxing time. The island is beautiful and the people are fantastic.

So lovely!

We stayed in October so it was very quiet. Lovely setting. Clean, well-equipped property. Some thoughtful extras like coffee pods, plastic bags, and a few things I tend to furgeg on such stays that made it much easier. Gorgeous view, little beach area. Comfortable furniture. We would stay again!

Relaxed and rested.

View was stunning inside and out. Saw deer and baby fox’s and porpoise. Hot tub needed a water change and property manager made that happen next morning!! Kitchen was good to cook in other than 2 lights were burnt out and it needed some small sharp knives. WiFi was fine. Peaceful and pleasant to sit outside in the sun. A cross breeze cooled the house quickly when the windows were open. The house did need some minor attention. A few outlets were taped over, some big nail holes that needed to be filled, a wall here and there that needed paint, white towels in bathroom that need to be bleached or replaced along w the toilet seat which literally has the paint worn partly off. A few hours of attention and the house would be greatly improved. Appreciated it being dog friendly The dog had a great time too.Saw pods of orcas on the whale watching tours we did. What a change in scenery!

Delightful Girlfriends' Getaway

This place was beautiful, peaceful, and really...just perfect! Everything worked just great, and we enjoyed the hot tub under the stars every night after marveling at the colors of the sunset over the bay.....

Beautiful Property

The views from this home were second to none! We loved enjoying the views from the house and by wondering down to the water to explore. The kitchen is well stocked with all the essentials, and the living space is generous. As advertised, the wifi is spotty which allowed us to fully unplug and relax.

First time on San Juan

A beautiful property with quiet and seemingly private spot. Just a couple details need attention: 2 light bulbs in kitchen out, door knob on main bedroom closet door not secure, no salt but we left ours and when we took garbage out

My favorite vacation house in the San Juans

We spent our time alternating between reading with a view in the living room, and beach hopping. The amount of peace and wildlife, especially compared to other islands/properties, is unmatched. We really appreciated the privacy the house offers, while still be close to Roche Harbor. We will definitely be looking to stay at this property again, and will be a recommended spot for any of our family or friends looking for a San Juan getaway.

AMAZING!!!!

My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend for our anniversary (with the dog). An absolutely amazing location. It was so peaceful and quiet we could only hear the birds chirping. No road noise, no other people, etc. Kitchen was great and well stocked to cook at home. Close distance to Roche Harbor. We will definitely come back.

Perfect Location

My children and I spent a glorious five days at the house. The location was perfect. The long driveway provided privacy and you hardly even see the neighboring houses. The pictures do not do this home justice. My kids enjoyed the huge yard when not exploring the beach. So many little quiet spots to sit and watch the water and wildlife. The house itself was well equipped for a week’s stay. Great size for a small family. We loved being close enough to Roche Harbor to easily go over for lunch or to swim in their pool. Definitely get a reservation to eat at Westcott Bay Shellfish Company which is visible across the bay from the yard. Top ten meals of my life!

Celebration Paradise

Our second stay at this wonderful home was every bit as good as our first. We celebrated two birthdays, a milestone anniversary, and Thanksgiving during our time here. We noticed a couple of minor improvements in the kitchen and bathroom that we appreciated. (That Keurig Duo is the best!) And there is still nothing better than sitting in one of the Adirondack chairs, staring at the serene bay, punctuated by the soothing sounds of the water fowl. It’s heavenly.

The perfect respite

Our stay at this lovely property was a delight. Most everything was perfect. Just few things would have made it the best. Clean the coffee maker- Old coffer grounds molded in the coffee maker Bunk bed room door would not shut - no privacy Dog poop in the yard - supplying poop bags might help. Instructions for the heat system Instructions for the woodburner (that did not work)

Beautiful location and views, but prepare to do your own laundry and dishes to start your stay.

The location is fantastic, the property has amazing views, and the house is super cozy. The issue we had was upon arrival, the beds weren't made, just some sheets dumped on the beds. The other half of the sheets were in the dryer, and the towels were in the washing machine wet. Not awesome for a 11pm arrival. The dishwasher hadn't been unloaded, many of the dishes were dirty as were the pans. But, other than having to wash and clean before we started our holiday, everything else about the property was great. Hot tub was nice on the cool evenings. Also - not in the description - no Wifi. You're on the border with Canadian signal or no signal at all, so make sure you are prepared.

A piece of paradise

Beautiful cottage on the bay. Peaceful and quite but not far from everything. Well stocked kitchen and I loved that we could bring our 2 year old Aussie. They even had a bin with dog toys and towels!!! Loved the swing on the beach and very sturdy stairs to the private beach. If you enjoy morning walks be sure to take a left out from the drive and walk along the beautiful bay. Not far into the walk is SAN JUAN Distillery! Awesome! Tastings on the weekends. Appreciated all the little " extras" the house provided. If you forgot something, no worries....the cottage probably has it! By far one of my favorite VRBO"s!!!! Did not want to leave this very special property. We will be back!

Well worth the drive!

The house and property were perfect for our anniversary getaway. It was our first real vacation in four years and this house made it even better. It was a very romantic and peaceful environment. The view never gets old - day or night - and the windows make it even better, so you don't miss any of the beauty. The water access was great and the tree swing was fun. We cooked most nights simply to enjoy the peace and quiet and to start our evening hot tub routine even sooner. It was a great way to end the day, especially after our first time kayaking! Even though this property is on the other end of the island from the ferry, the island is small nothing was far away. But personally, I enjoyed the peace and views of Roche Harbor much more than Friday Harbor, and this property enhanced that even more. We rode our bikes to Roche Harbor, disc golfed at Roche Harbor Disc Golf Course, kayaked with Discovery Sea Kayaks, walked Friday Harbor, visited Pelindaba Lavender Farms, and drove the whole island to sightsee. It was the perfect mix of entertainment and relaxation. It was exactly what we needed and wanted. Even the ferry ride is beautiful and enjoyable! We talked about visiting San Juan for years and after the first day my husband said he wished we'd of went sooner! Hope to return soon.

Horrible experience with office and house issues

Dirty hot tub, not clean, photos were not correct. Right before we went to the house the photos of the bedroom online were of 4 twin beds (bunk beds). We arrived and that was not so.We needed the 4 twin beds but instead we got a double bed and a twin. That didn't work for us so one of our boys had to sleep on the dirty couch in the living room. The sofa was very dirty under the cushions with food and used bandaids that I took photos of. The coffee maker barely worked. The utensils in the kitchen were minimal. They sent me a pdf of instruction and info on the house. At the time of booking and in the pdf it said "limited wifi" but there was zero wifi! When I told the office manager she insisted it said "no wifi" until I sent her the proof ! So we had no wifi for half of our stay. We texted (and the office person ignored us for over a day) that we needed the wifi so my husband could work. They got a new router. Then we were interrupted with wifi delivery and installations (while we were sick). 4 out of the 5 of us got sick from the hot tub which was extremely dirty. Office person said it was because the cleaner guy was on vacation! We were sick for days. Then we were interrupted with hot tub cleaner. Office lady always sounded annoyed with us on the phone. Sometimes didn't text us back at all and so far has not apologized for any of the issues but did message me to say that other guests didn't have a problem.

Astounding view, cozy accommodation

It’s a beautiful property and the views are fantastic. The yard is large and nice, and the hot tub is clean. The house is comfortable enough but could use updates. However, the beds are comfortable and the place is clean. If I owned this house, I’d upgrade the screens (to prevent ants and bugs, but we only saw a handful) and the living room furniture. Overall it’s a great place!
