Beautiful spot

Very quiet and relaxing. Well furnished kitchen. Comfortable furnishings. The second full bath is in a garage structure separate from the house. We did not use it and I don’t see most people wanting to use it unless you have a big group.

Great place but some things to note

Overall, we had a great time at this Vrbo. However, there are a few things to note that weren't clear to us until after we booked: 1) The property manager requests direct payment (instead of payment through Vrbo). I hadn't encountered this on Vrbo before, so at first I thought it was a scam. It caused a bit of a headache because I had to first contact Vrbo to verify. 2) The property does have 2.5 baths, but one of them is in the garage that is not connected to the main house. We didn't realize until we arrived that you have to go outside to access it. It was a bit inconvenient to use and smells like gasoline. 3) There are 3 beds, but one of them is not located in a proper bedroom. In the description it does say it is a Murphy bed in the game room, but it wasn't clear that the room has large windows that do not have blinds, so it gets quite bright in the morning. We had an issue with unwashed/dirty bedding in the primary bedroom but the property manager was quick to respond and provided satisfactory service recovery. Things we loved about the property: - Kitchen is well stocked with dishware, cookware, and spices; there's even a blender and food processor - The 3 kayaks (2 singles, 1 tandem) made it easy to get out on the water and enjoy the area - Spacious dining/living room area for the group to hang out in - Property manager was quick to respond when we had questions

Birthday celebration

Access to the water was easy. Kayak’s were great fun to use. Brought our own life jackets, but some were in the shed. Well stocked house. Was a little concerned as the house was right next door to Snug Harbor resort but it was not a problem at all. Area very quiet

Short stay on San Juan

The house was good for all our family needs. Good location on the island. Kayaks were nice. Just like previous reviews the 2nd full bathroom is in the garage that is not attached, and yes an eye mask to keep the light out of your eyes for whoever is in the Murphy bed.

Visiting from Texas

This house suited our family of 5 very well. We enjoyed the somewhat remote location (remote being a stretch seeing that it was a 15 minute drive pretty much anywhere on the island!) It was a treat to be located directly adjacent to the Snug Harbor resort where we could snag an espresso in the morning or go out on their pier to see the sunsets. I wish getting to the water was easier on the property; the addition of a pier will be a game changer! Our kids did use the kayaks one day and we booked an excursion that launched from the Snug Harbor marina another day. The house is very comfortable. The primary bedroom has an attached half bath and the full bath is directly outside of both bedrooms. Sharing was a not a big deal for us. One of our boys slept on the murphy bed in the game room – we bought an eye mask because the sunlight is pretty fierce at 6 am! Definitely plan on bringing one! Above all else, the boys were OBSESSED with the ping pong table and mom and dad enjoyed the firepit on the deck morning and night. SJI was a 10/10! We would come again.

Beautiful place

My only complaint is that it was not clear in the description that the 2nd full bath is actually not located in the main house, that the garage is a separate building and not attached to the house. Otherwise it was a beautiful place, fully stocked with everything one could want or need and we loved the ping pong table! We had an issue with the ice maker and the owner came by with some crab legs and a bag of ice for us as an apology!

A vacation for all of us

We were on the islands for the first time to attend three evening wedding events. Staying at this home allowed all of us to explore or relax in between. We all did a bit of each. Night gatherings on the deck with all of the lights off allowed us to see shooting stars, the Milky Way, and create lovely memories. From start to finish, communication was excellent, had a chance to say hi to the owners and we would so definitely stay here again is we had opportunity to be here again.

Didn’t want to leave!

Perfect house on the water to experience the beauty of SJI. Has everything our family could’ve wanted. The location is beautiful, the access to the bay and the kayaks available to use were the icing on the cake. Magnificent windows throughout the whole house to enjoy the view. Ping pong table made my teen boys very happy. Hope we can stay here again some day. 10 out of 10!
