About this property

Waterfront with Dock! Near Roche Harbor! (KWP)

Kingfisher Waterfront Paradise! Waterfront! Dock Access! Close to the Roche Harbor!

Peaceful, waterfront house with dock nested in a half-acre of fir and cedar forest on Davison Head is a haven of natural beauty and tranquility. From the cedar deck overlooking secluded Neil Bay you can hear the sounds of bald eagles, blue herons and kingfisher. A pleasant 15-minute walk will take you to Roche Harbor Marina and Airport where you can enjoy a grocery store, shopping and award-winning dining. The house is a 20-minute drive from the ferry terminal in Friday Harbor.

**Tides in Neil Bay can be extreme and during low tide, the water can get low enough for the dock to be beached. At zero tide there is approximately zero feet of water. Please contact the office for special instructions regarding dock usage.**

This over 4000 square foot home offers a warm ambiance with its cedar log construction and cherry hardwood floor. The open floor plan and stunning waterfront views leave guests in awe as they enter the home. The gourmet kitchen with open fir cabinets is a welcoming area to enjoy the local produce and seafood bounty from the island. The living room is a sunny area for reading or a short nap after an island bike ride. A separate room contains the HDTV (Chromecast TV, you will need to log into the apps with your own info) and gas fireplace for the cooler evenings.

A primary suite upstairs has a King sized bed, walk-in shower and bath tub with a magnificent water view. A second guest bedroom upstairs is equipped with a Queen sized bed and an extra Twin bed for little guests, also with a private en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower.
The third bedroom on the main level also features a Queen sized bed with an adjacent bath and combination bathtub/ shower. There is also one additional bathroom on the main level that has a walk-in shower.

A spacious daylight basement has a game room including a pool table/ ping-pong table, card and foosball table, and a futon bed available. Just outside is the path to the private floating dock where a multitude of water activities can be enjoyed, including kayaking, canoeing and standup paddle boarding.

Finish your day on the lovely cedar deck overlooking Neil Bay as you enjoy an outdoor barbeque dinner among friends. The seabirds and wildlife will be sure to ease you into the relaxing island lifestyle.

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 not provided.

Great Place to Relax and Enjoy the Island
We loved the personality of the home: the artwork, the wood floors and ceilings, the quality of everything that made it feel like we were staying with friends who trusted us with their home. It felt very private, but the views were lovely. There was plenty of room for us to spread out--even those who had to take a few work calls. We loved the outdoor deck and saw bioluminescence from the dock. All in all, a five-star experience!

Fun Weekend in the San Juans
This house was a lot bigger than I expected. The layout was perfect for our 4 couples. We were able to all have our own bathroom which is such a bonus when traveling. Kitchen was equipped for us to cook our meals. Thank you!

The best
This was our second time staying at this property, and it hopefully won’t be our last. Our family had the best time. The location is ideal (quiet, but still close to the harbor) and the home is spacious and quite comfortable. Owners are the sweetest people too. Love this place.

Boys loved the game room, wish there was a modern large screen TV TV and newer softer mattresses. Love the home and location.

September Sibling Reunion
What fun we had in such a lovely environment! Our four-night stay consisted of a sibling/spouse get-together, including seven members of my family, mostly from the mid-west. The house was beautiful and perfect to allow plenty of time for varied interactions and also space for privacy. The grounds were attractive and the dock was fun. We were able to watch sunsets from the community beach and walk the pleasant neighborhood.

Perfect for Our Stay
Great place for our needs. The house was well maintained and worked very well for 3 adult couples. Very close to Roche which was part of what we were looking for. We were able to use the dock for our boat at the appropriate tides. Had a fabulous stay, including the deer in the yard!

Island journey
Overall we were delighted with the property and the ease of dealing with any minor issue. The management company was very responsive and prompt in resounding. It was a bonus to have a game room with ping pong, pool and fuse ball. Our suggestion is that there be fold up beach chairs or light weight chairs that could be taken to the dock to socialize and enjoy the view. Also, the kitchen could use more plastic, leftover containers and measuring utensils. Otherwise, it's a perfect place!

Wonderful San Juan Rental
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: Kingfisher was a great place for the three couples in our group. Plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen is a generous size and we had plenty of room to maneuver there to cook group meals. The only drawback for our group was the steep stairs down to the water and we decided against trying to get kayaks down to the dock to launch. But there was an area not far away available to park and launch from there. I highly recommend San Juan Property Management and the Kingfisher property. We'd love to go back!

fabulous house
this is a great vacation home, very roomy well stocked nicely decorated, it exceeded our expectations, we all had a great time and hope to be back sometime. P.S. the fresh flowers were a nice touch, we loved the Sweet Peas a lot!!! P.S.S. one of us twisted her ankle on the first day going down the deck to the water, those rocks have to be replaced with something safer. A sign is not good enough. Thanks, Shira

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Everything was in good condition, and as described. We used the dock for our paddleboards - but not at low tide. The only thing missing were drinking glasses in the kitchen - the largest non-wine glasses are just 4 oz juice glasses. Please get some 12 or 16 oz glasses! If that's the only thing we could think of to write - then it's was really all good.

Comfortable Waterfront Home
Wonderful location close to Roche Harbor. We loved the secluded location and lovely deck. Private dock for launching paddle boards and kayaks was why we chose this home. Odd for owner to show up unannounced and use the boat dock in the middle of our stay.

Great house for our family
The house worked great for our family, there were 3 couples & 2 young children in our group & there was plenty of space for us. One negative was the lack of lighting out on the deck. We had a fire in the fire pit one night & had a hard time getting down the path because it was so dark. We could not find any kind of porch light out there. Rather dangerous. Other than that, it's a nice place for families. we would love to go back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything about the unit was as described, with a few well-thought-out extra touches. The kitchen had plenty of what we needed. FYI, the coffee pot is a standard pot and not a K-cup type, which is always a question. The setting is beautiful, with lots of wildlife and views of both sunrises and sunsets from the dock. The management company was responsive to my questions, thorough and as flexible as they could be. I would definitely recommend this place.

Great location/Cautiously Recommend
First, I’d like to clarify that this is a 4 bedroom/4 bathroom house. It’s not advertised as such, and that would’ve been helpful to me when I was looking for a rental. Overall, the house is fine, and it’s spacious. Plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen could use some better (bigger) glasses and better pots/pans, but I made do with what I had. The mattress in the master bedroom needs replacing. My husband and I had to sleep separately because there is a spring poking up on the side of the bed closest to the bathroom. Also, there isn’t a door on the master bedroom that leads down the stairs. It’s kind of a strange setup. It’s like a loft with a totally open bathroom (toilet has a door), and there isn’t a closet or a dresser to unpack your clothes. There is a clothes rack to hang some things, but there were only a few hangers. The other 3 rooms were fine according to my other family members that stayed in them. The outdoor space is lovely, and the views are stunning. We spent a lot of time out on the back deck overlooking Neil Bay. The cleaning person showed up a bit early, so make sure you’re out of there no later than 10am sharp. I would really give the house 3.5 stars, but that’s not an option. I stay in A LOT of vacation rentals all over the world. This one could use some work, but it wasn’t the worst. I think it’s overpriced and a bit over advertised. I expect more when paying $600/night after fees and taxes.
