Wonderful Retreat
The house is on a forested bluff overlooking a beautiful cove. It has amazing views of the sea, including Speiden Island. Below the house, after a short path, there is a well constructed dock, a perfect place to go swimming or launch a dinghy, kayak, or paddleboard. The house is very quiet and private yet just a short and pleasant drive away from Roche Harbor resort. The house is tastefully furnished, immaculate, and well-equipped. The property is very well managed. All communications with the manager were pleasant, efficient, and professional.

Happily surprised
We loved having a private dock for kayaking. We were able to bring our sailboat to the dock and bouy except during a low tide.

Great spot for our family. Very private with great views of bay and island across channel. Minutes from Roche or Friday Harbors activities. Otters in bay were a bonus.

Incredible family location
Absolutely beautiful home on bay. Incredible views and had a blast kayaking and crabbing from the dock. Home is open, spacious, airy, and most importantly felt like a home away from home! Will definitely return.

Really nice
The place was clean and worked well for our family. The owner was very helpful with the reservations and making sure we made our ferry reservations on time. This was our first visit to Friday Harbor and we would stay at this place again.

Quiet retreat in paradise
What a place to call home for a week! We enjoyed every adventure and each quiet moment our family shared on San Juan Island. The home felt like a breath of fresh air the moment we walked in and never disappointed each time we sat out on the deck. We liked being away from the main harbor yet close enough to participate in every activity we desired. The San Juans are a special place and we feel lucky to have been able to enjoy our time on the islands. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We hope to return again some day soon!

Magical property!
Enjoyed a long weekend at this beautiful property. Beautiful views and waterfront access. Feels secluded, yet quick access to Roche Harbor and an easy drive to Friday Harbor. Well-appointed kitchen and comfortable furnishings. Communication with property manager/owner was great. Would definitely return!

Nice and cozy
We loved this house. We saw otter swimming one morning and it was so fun watching them. Plenty of towels and washcloths. Conveniently located. We ate at Roche harbor a lot and got some things from their store. We didn’t do a lot of cooking but there seemed to be enough to do the job. Communication was great.

Nice waterfront property with dock and buoy
Sheltered cove. Minutes from Roche Harbor and sculpture garden. The kids brought paddle boards and paddled in front of the house. Our 22 ft fishing boat, which we launched at Roche Harbor, fit at the dock so super convenient. We did have a few days with a very low tide (less than one ft of water at the dock) so kept the boat on the buoy and used our zodiac to ferry ourselves from the dock to the boat. We had a great trip.

Quiet place tucked in the woods close to Roche
Had a nice stay overall. Property manager was responsive to emails. Nice to have a place we could bring our dogs along with! Very short drive to Roche Harbor but tucked away on a quiet cove. With binoculars, we witnessed Orcas, Eagles, Kingfishers, seals and perhaps the resident otter. Very unique spot on a beautiful island!

Wonderful Property!
Spent the Thanksgiving week at this property as a family of 4 (+ our small dog) and had a wonderful stay. Communication was easy, property was well-kept, and most importantly the property was functional. The big living space/open kitchen made it the perfect family vacation space. 5 stars, hope to visit again!

Fantastic place!
We had a great time staying at this home. It was exactly as advertised, even better, honestly. Clean, quiet, with incredible water views and access, and an awesome deck to hang out on and relax. We liked that the location felt private and secluded but we could walk to Roche Harbor and the sculpture garden (well worth the visit!). Karen, the host, was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. I highly recommend this home - it is the perfect set up for enjoying everything San Juan Island has to offer!

This was a great place to stay for our 20 year wedding anniversary. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Roche Harbor but close enough to enjoy the resort if we wanted. The home is very spacious and the views were amazing. I would definitely stay there again.
