Beautiful San Juan Waterfront

We loved this home. The check in/outProcess was simple, the views were gorgeous, and the home is comfortable and wellEquipped. The kitchen had everything you need to cook, while taking in the beautiful San Juan scenery. This home is super close to Roche Harbor-about a five minute drive. It is a quick 15 mn drive into Friday Harbor. We enjoyed exploring both! We would definitelyRent this home again.

Perfect Family Getaway in Roche Harbor

We stayed at this beautiful home from April 3–6 and had an incredible time. The property is tucked away in a peaceful part of Roche Harbor, but still close enough to enjoy everything the area has to offer. The house was spotless, well-appointed, and had everything our family needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.From the cozy living spaces to the fully equipped kitchen, we felt right at home. The views were stunning, especially in the early mornings and at sunset. We loved walking on the dock while watching the seals greet us, it was like something out of a postcard.Roche Harbor is such a charming area, and this home made our trip to San Juan Island truly memorable. We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, family-friendly escape.

Absolutely beautiful home on bay. Incredible views and had a blast kayaking and crabbing from the dock. Home is open, spacious, airy, and most importantly felt like a home away from home! Will definitely return.

Wonderful Property!

Spent the Thanksgiving week at this property as a family of 4 (+ our small dog) and had a wonderful stay. Communication was easy, property was well-kept, and most importantly the property was functional. The big living space/open kitchen made it the perfect family vacation space. 5 stars, hope to visit again!
