About this property

Waterfront! Hot Tub! Dog Friendly! (TSB)

Waterfront! Hot Tub! Dog Friendly! "The Space Between". Waterfront location on the northwest side of San Juan Island with hot tub that overlooks Mosquito Pass. Enjoy watching the boat traffic and views of Henry Island from the spacious deck with access from the living room.

This cozy and eclectic 3-bedroom home comfortably sleeps 8 guests and includes one king bed, 1 full bed, 1 queen bed downstairs, and a sleeper sofa that pulls out into a double-sized bed if the kids need more space. Relax in the living room with cozy seating and enjoy the Fire Stick TV or on the deck barbecuing or hot tubbing. (The fireplace is not for guest-use for safety reasons.) There are stairs to the mid bank waterfront to allow for quick access and enjoyment.

Soak in what the sea and sky have to reveal when coolin' your heels out on the deck with coffee or tea in hand. In Summer, Gray and Humpback whales are swinging by from Mexico, and turkey vultures fly in from as far away as Panama- but you can have an easier go of it, and even make it nearly carbon-free in your electric vehicle (Charge-up for free on site). In Winter, scan the water or listen for two types of sea lions, loons, or migratory Eagles.

The Wi-Fi has recently been upgraded to allow for multiple zoom meetings at once, and the distance from the contemporary hustle and bustle is getting smaller all the time. However: If your goal is to embrace the convergence of the wilderness and earthly comforts, all manner of seafaring along with intermittent but absolute silence, or a heavenly sunset by the firepit (firepit available in the off-season) while you still count yourself among the living, come and set awhile.

This house does not have good cell phone reception, but the internet at this property will allow sufficient service for Wi-fi calling from your personal cell.

1 dog per reservation with a pet fee. The dog is not to be left unattended. If a dog is left unattended and a neighbor calls to complain, renter will be charged a $200 fee. Dog weight must be less than 60 lbs. No dog on furniture. The renter assumes responsibility for all extra cleaning needed such as emergency carpet cleaning, furniture replacement, and or emergency laundromat use for bulky items like comforters and pillows. The dog must be house trained and on-leash while outside.

Fire pits are not usable from May 1st-September 30th due to county burn ban and safety of property and neighboring areas. Ban is usually lifted October 1st if/when conditions and weather are favorable. Firewood bundles can be purchased at any grocery store on San Juan Island.

Please be advised, hot tub/yard maintenance may occur during your stay.

Cozy Island Retreat with Water View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely holiday in this cozy island retreat. Very clean home with comfortable beds throughout. We enjoyed watching the storm, and luckily did not lose power. Bring your flashlights just in case if you're visiting during storm season.

A Nice Getaway

We had a wonderful experience. There was plenty of room for just two of us. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and spices. The hot tub area was improved and updated from the pictures. So that was nice. We would stay here again.

What a view!

The view was exceptional! Besides all the boats we saw whales, deer, otters and seals. The sunsets were beautiful. We loved our time on the deck. It's true that house is a little tired and the kitchen is dated, but that did not really distract from our stay. The house was very clean and well stocked, and the hot tub very well maintained. We have stayed in many rentals and would rate this one very high.

Spring break

The house was amazing! My family of four had a wonderful spring break on the island. We had busy days and coming back to the house with a hot tub and a place to have a fire outside was so nice. You seriously can’t beat the views either. We would totally stay again. Also, my family is still talking about how comfortable the beds were.

Lovely home!

The house location and views are outstanding. There was a surplus of cooking utensils, dishware, appliances, and bedding. The check in process was super easy and clear. One suggestion would be to have coffee on hand. Overall such a great stay, thank you very much!

Lovely home with a fantastic view

We loved staying here. It was exactly as it looked in the pictures, especially the view! We loved relaxing on the back deck and we even had a little sea otter friend who visited our beach every day. Close enough to town to get there easily but far enough away that we felt like we were in our own private sanctuary. Would definitely stay here again!

Nothing beats this view

What a stunning view and hot tub! The house was comfortable and felt homey. This isn’t a pristine home or property, which didn’t bother us but felt different than the listing a bit. It feels like a cozy, well-loved gma-like cabin with comfortable furniture and also a bit of deferred maintenance in places. Overall, you can’t beat this view and the hot tub was perfect (though the approach and path was a bit precarious). Enjoyed our stay and hot tub experience!

Great location

Property location was fantastic - great views and outdoor spaces to enjoy those views. Well-stocked, but many plates, dishes, etc. needed an additional rinse or cleaning before use. Grill was unusable -- didn't seem like it was cleaned after the last guests, so critters and bugs had settled in and the grates were beyond caked. Otherwise, a quirky property with lots of space and views to die for!

Terrific views

This was a lovely home that offered beautiful views of Vancouver and Henry Islands with amazing sunsets. We had seals in our backyard every morning and every night as well, and 2 deer that would come in the front yard as well. We even briefly saw the humpback whale across Haro Strait!!! The outside flora could have used a mow or some more maintenance, the upstairs mattresses were uncomfortable, and the pots and pans could be updated (we had a hard time cooking breakfast in a couple of them) but that’s just being nit picky. We would come back in a heart beat!!!

Serene views, fun decor, hot tub!

We loved this cute mid-century modern home. Comfortable beds and furniture, and excellent decor — a bit quirky, a little science-y, with plenty of local pride and a little history in the mix. Books and games. Can we talk about the view? Water, islands, trees. So lovely and calming. Whether you’re relaxing in the living room, eating on the deck or chilling in the hot tub, you’ll be mesmerized by the view of the strait and Henry Island, with Canada visible in the distance. Location is near Roche Harbor, the sculpture garden, Snug Harbor (we did an awesome Crystal Seas kayak tour out of Snug Harbor resort), and the fantastic Westcott Bay Shellfish Co. Not too far from Lime Kiln State Park. Very near the alpaca farm, which we didn’t end up having time to visit — but you should. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, etc and also helpfully stocked with sugar, spices, salt. Bathrooms had hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and plenty of TP. Not the newest or fanciest house on the island - but comfy, casual, and full of character. I took so many photos of the cool decor. We loved our stay here.

Gorgeous views, attentive and thoughtful host, great vacation!

The views are incomparable. You can’t even believe how gorgeous it is until you see it. When sitting at the firepit watching the sunset, we could hear seals snorting and then spot them. Joe was an excellent host, answering last-minute questions and fixing small issues from afar. The nice touches like a bottle of wine gift, spices and oil available, firewood ready to burn, and helpful instructions were very appreciated. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need (the cutting boards are hard to find in a lower cabinet but they’re there and nice and thick!) The water is RIGHT THERE, and you can sit and watch the boats, seals, and if you’re very very lucky the whales, pass by all day. We brought an inflatable kayak and although the put-in is a little dicey on the steep and slippery rocks, the little bays around every corner are magical to paddle by. I wouldn’t recommend for ages 1-3 due to the steep and slippery access to the water. My 5 year old was good at following my rule to only go down by the water with an adult, but if your kid wouldn’t, then think twice. Overall, a magical spot by the water. The house is older and a bit rustic; which is lovely and cozy. It was a great island getaway.

Relaxing escape, great view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband, daughter, and our 20 pound mini Aussie had a great Spring Break at The Space Between. View was stunning. Home is immaculately clean and very Retro. Lots of fluffy towels and plenty of supplies. Really nice washer and dryer. I'd like to have those myself. Hot tub was immaculately clean. It's serviced weekly. The service guy comes every Thurs. Did not use the grill. There is a family of 3 otters that travel up and down the shoreline at the home. Seals hang out on the rocks also just down the shoreline. If I could find any flaws it would be with the grounds. The stairs to the shore are overgrown with spikey plants. Probably native, but they could still be trimmed.The stairs themselves are wooden, rotting. The handrail needs replacing. Lots of downed limbs could be picked up. The firepit could use some new chairs. Check in, check out very easy. 10 minutes to Roche Harbor, 10-15 to Friday Harbor. Very close to English Camp and lots of trails. Must see is Lilm Kiln St. Pk. Overall we were very pleased and would recommend to others.

Lovely view, dated home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Let's start with the good parts - the property had an amazing location, the wifi worked, hot tub was good, and it was exceptionally clean. Loved the view, we lived outside on the deck. Now the challenges - 1) the bedrooms - does not sleep 8. There are two real beds, then pull outs. 2) Dated kitchen - while elements were quaint, the kitchen, dishes, etc are up for a major refresh - outside the pans - most other elements of the kitchen seemed to be from '70s or earlier. The outside seating areas were poorly maintained, trails to the water steep - this property has SO much potential, but lots of room for improvement.
