Perfection!
This is the third time my husband and I have stayed at this VRBO. We bring our kayaks and there is amazing places to paddle right from their place. We were lucky enough to see Biggs Orcas just across Spieden Channel on New Year's Day - Amazing!!! The house is very clean and has a ton of storage space in the bedrooms and kitchen. The hosts are very easy to communicate with and add to the overall enjoyment of the property.

Easy Beach Access
Easy access from house to beach to launch kayak or to hang out and enjoy surrounding Neil Bay views and beyond. Quiet, peaceful and well equipped home. Very convenient to Roche Harbor’s airstrip for private small planes. Property manager (owner?) Jennifer was responsive and timely in her communications with me.

Friends Weekend
We three ladies stayed at this fantastic property for four nights. We loved the location right by the water, the quietness of the property, the warm blankets on the beds, the shoreline. We cooked several meals and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The island is small, so it was nice to not be staying right in Friday Harbor and to get out and explore. The neighborhood foxes and owls were the only noise at night. The firepit by the water was super cool, although we didn't use it because we were tired from our daily adventures and fell asleep early. The bedrooms were comfortable, the mudroom and laundry were GREAT! We all LOVED this property and decreed we'd bring our families back.

Wooded setting near Roche Harbor
Large home with well supplied kitchen and view of the water. We appreciated having a washer/dryer and access to a beach. Only drawback was only one shower. The master bath has a very deep soaker tub which does not lend itself to conserve water, as requested.

Fantastic San Juan Stay
This was the perfect place for our group of 4 friends and a dog to stay for our hiking and whale watching adventures. We liked that it was away from the bustle of Friday Harbor but an easy drive there. Also, it was a nice walk to the sculpture park and Roche Harbor. The views and fire pit were big hits. We had everything we needed for cooking meals. Beds were comfy. The place was very clean. Jennifer was super easy to communicate with and very accommodating. She helped us solve a dilemma regarding our dog. We highly recommend this place, and we hope to be back some day!

A true gem
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and welcoming home near Roche Harbor. This place is a true gem, and it has an impressive number of qualities that really make it stand out. First is the location. It is off a quiet road, and you feel like you are in the woods. It is a beachfront house with all the great things beaches in the San Juans have to offer. Some of us saw a family of seals on “our” beach in the early morning hours and we saw osprey and herons and a lot other wildlife, as well as wonderful sunsets. The house is lovely, meticulously cared-for, and has every amenity. The property has been in the family for more than one generation and they share the history of the home from back when there was only a platform on the beach, so it has a feeling of authenticity and depth. The two main bedrooms are surprisingly secluded from each other allowing privacy as well as shared spaces. There are many windows and a quiet sunroom. The two largest rooms have their own direct access to the outdoors. The kitchen is really nice, and it has a lot of storage for pots, pans, and dinnerware. The place is outfitted with just about everything you could wish for. The bathrooms need special mention. There are three (well, I guess 2 ½ ) bathrooms that have a total of one luxurious spa tub, 1 shower, 3 toilets. Did I mention this is a gem? This is the kind of find you want to keep to yourself, it is so good. We highly recommend it

Fun B-day weekend!
We had a great time! The home was clean and had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable (this is a must for me). We loved going to the edge of the water in the morning and seeing the seals and otters. The vibe is very peaceful, the town is adorable. I would definitely stay again.

Peaceful Getaway
We loved this property and the story behind the family that owns it. The home is nestled in the trees and sits right on Neil Bay, a perfect little getaway for our family and dog. Duke was in his happy place exploring the little beach while the seals looked on with curiosity. The home was clean, organized and the kitchen was well equipped. We will definitely look up this property again on our next trip to San Juan Island.

Great home in great location
We had my family of four and my parents with us, as well as my dog and the house fit all our needs. It was a great location, it had a wonderful view with private beach access and it was spacious and comfortable. Check in was very easy and parking was abundant. They even had snacks and dog treats which was a nice touch. The house was very clean. We have an almost 1 year old and almost 3 year old and we felt it was on the kid friendly side.

Great winter island getaway
The house was fully equipped for a great long weekend with family. Six of us, including grandparents, stayed together in this space. The kids enjoyed the proximity to the rocky beach and sleeping in the loft. We did puzzles, explored the island, and cooked meals together. Definitely would stay there again.

Thank you for another wonderful Island vacation. My biking partner and I have our favorite rides and the Roche Harbor is one of our favorites. And your lovely home also affords us the opportunity to bring our (pedaling rather than paddling) kayaks, some glorious adventures there as well.

San Juan Island Gem
In our many decades of travel we have never stayed in a vacation rental home as wonderful as this! The hosts have thought of every detail to make you feel welcome. From large fluffy towels to cabinets labeled with contents everything is just right. The bay in front of the home is 100 yards wide and about 1 mile long…well protected from the weather. This makes it ideal for paddleboarding and kayaking. The beach provides a great place to pull water toys up and out of the water. 50 steps takes you up to the home with a well built wrap around deck. The main room is comfortable and the dining area easily seats 6. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could want and a step through an entry room takes you outside to the circular driveway. The bedrooms are spacious and the comforters thick and warm. There is plenty of hot water for the jetted tub or shower. The walls are covered with beautiful art and decorations enhance every counter. The hosts even set out a small container of dog treats…! If you are looking for a place that feels more like the home of an old friend, and less like a typical vacation rental then this is the one for you. We would rate this home 10 stars if that were possible.
