Roast s'mores around the campfire and stargaze under pristine skies

2nd Stay Just as Great as the 1st

This was our second time staying at this beautiful home. We enjoyed our stay so much last summer we brought my husband’s parents from the east coast back so we could show them the beauty of the San Juans and they fell in love too. The house has so many amenities and is so inviting. We enjoyed views and hanging out on the deck and at the fire pit the most! Looking forward to the next time we could return.

Roche Harbor Adventure

The property owners thought of everything. The kitchen was well appointed. The deck was just power washed and had comfortable deck furniture. The kayaks and paddle boards were easily assessed. Just 5 minutes from Roche Harbor resort pickleball courts which were just resurfaced in May 2025. There were just four adults and one canine kid. Thank you for sharing your retreat!

Tranquil and Restorative

Second time at this property and it certainly lived up to our wonderful memories. Relaxing mornings drinking coffee while the sun comes up over the bay. Fun days exploring island adventures nearby. Delicious food at Westcott Bay Shellfish. And restful and relaxing evenings by the fire in this beautiful home. We’ll certainly be back!

Pictures don't do it justice!

We booked late and I was worried about not having a great choice - this house is awesome!! Great sized rooms, convenient bathrooms that are updated; perfect layout for everyone to hang out. The location is the best! Right up the hill from the sculpture garden, we should have planned more time there! Roche Harbor is a 2 min drive, we ate there twice at both restaurants and picked up coffee in the morning. 15 min drive into Friday Harbor, 10 mins to Lime Kiln. We saw otters and baby fox!! My only comment - and it did not bother us at all; is the spiral staircase to two of the bedrooms. Well stocked, good beds! Thanks!

Wonderful Stay on San Juan Island

The listing looked amazing but the property was even better than I expected! We all had such a great time and loved this home. The view is wonderful and location is relaxing. Went kayaking, walked to Roche Harbor and sculpture garden, played ping pong, enjoyed cooking, grilling, and the fire pit. Also saw so much wildlife right outside the house.
