Magical view of lime kiln lighthouse

Photos don’t do this place justice. The view of lime kiln lighthouse is truly stunning. The tranquility and wildness of the location is amazing. Waking up and coming home to an array of wild deer, raccoons and foxes is like a Disney paradise. Would highly recommend

Peace and quiet

Very remote cabin located on the shore. The cabin is clean and comfortable. Great views of the sunset (unfortunately no whale sightings). Convenient to the parks on the west and south side of the island. The cabin is set up for a long stay but bring your groceries and everything you need to cook-the stores are not close by. Recommended for a peaceful vacation

Cute. ADU attached property with wonderful partial views of Lime Kiln lighthouse

Things we loved: The wildlife on property; fox, deer, lots of birds and raccoons. (Unfortunately the whales are not frequenting this area as much as they have in the past because of lower food supply, so we didn’t see whales from this space) The view of deck, although partially obstructed with trees was lovely. Things that need improvements; For this being one of the most expensive smaller attached adus on the island. The ADU comes with discarded and broken household furniture and appliances, dishes. There are no wine glasses but only plastic stemware from the dollar store. There is a broken grandfather clock in bedroom. The kitchen was lacking baking dishes, a mixer, updated appliances. The reason why this is so disappointing to me is this issue has been mentioned several times in reviews dating back ten years but nothing has been done. There are lots of Farms on the island and not that great restaurants and not having the tools to be able to cook was disappointing. Also, considering how much it costs not being greeted with at least coffee for the morning was -a shock. The owners live next door on property. I felt like the owners don’t really take very much pride into having guests on their property. They do not act as if we are guests , but rather we should feel privileged to be there and felt subhuman. To top it all off, the parking for the unit is a bit designated away unlike owner if you don’t park there they will Be woken up at 7 am!!

Wonderful

Such a special and unique place to stay. The cottage has everything you need, and you can watch for whales from your deck as well as other vantage points on the property. And if you're not whale-watching it's fun to watch all the deer, raccoons and foxes that live on the property.

A Little Piece of Heaven

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: I cannot say enough good things about this property. It really made our whole trip so much better. The owners of the property are next door and are so nice! The property is very private and is located on what has to be the best spot on the island for wildlife experiences and views. Where else can you possibly see bald eagles, whales, ravens, deer, foxes, and raccoons all in the same place? It truly is a little piece of heaven and I plan on returning next year. As far as amenities, the house had everything you could possibly need. The beds were very comfortable. The property was clean and well-maintained.

San Juan Island Cottage

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: A cozy cottage retreat at the end of a forested road, overlooks Puget sound on the island’s west side. Located just north of lime kiln state park, the cottage has a beautiful view of the sound and the location is a good place to spot wildlife. There were a couple of foxes and deer that frequented the property. The cottage is a guest house on a mutiacre property. The main house is several away. The cottage has a kitchen which is supplied with dishes, cutlery, glasses for 2 or 3 people. There are two bedrooms with queen beds. It is a lovely, clean, modern place and perfect for a couple's or small family’s get a way

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: It is very difficult to find a rental on the west side with a view and stay within budget. This place delivers!! The view is spectacular and we saw 2 Orcas right out back the first night! You’ll feel like Snow White with all the deer, raccoons, bald eagles, and foxes that live on this property. The cottage is super cozy, with a well-equipped kitchen, and comfy beds. There are 2 bedrooms, even though the listing only said 1, so this was a welcomed surprise. We would love to stay at this cottage again!

Best vacation rental ever

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: I loved this place so relaxing. When I drove in the first time and was unloading my stuff from my car I saw the first of a few deer and a raccoon! The deck and view outside and surround the guest house is out of this world. You can see Lime Kiln Lighthouse from the deck and front year. So peaceful no traffic. I loved that even though I finally found the two or three sites that monitor when Orca's or humpback whales were going by you could here people yelling from Lime Kiln when they were spotted and it was less than a 7 minute drive down to the lighthouse state park. The inside has everything that you would need. The location is about a 3 minute drive into the woods from the road and 20-25 minutes everywhere else on the island (north to Roche Harbor or the English camp, Friday Harbor downtown, American camp and South beach, and like I said so very close to Lime Kiln State Park). I saw in the reviews that people were returning year after year and I will definitely be one). The food was great on the island and King's Market had great groceries plus food you can warm up from the Deli and Bakery. Yes there was rain while I was there but it was part of the experience.

Perfect and Serene

This is one of the best rentals we have ever stayed in. It is down a back road so very quiet and we were totally immersed in nature and animals. We saw the orca pods twice from the balcony. The lighthouse is in full view and lit up at night. The large ships passing by are very entertaining. You can see the Olympics and Vancouver Island. Many deer, foxes and a cute raccoon pass through the property daily. The house had everything we needed and the furniture & beds were very comfortable. Tidy, well decorated, clean & just the perfect size for us. We absolutely loved our stay. 5 stars all the way.

West side pleasure

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: Wonderful property with open view to the west including the Lime Kiln Lighthouse. We enjoyed seeing the freighters sailing to and from Vancouver. Cabin was VERY clean and in good shape. I would recommend the bedroom pillows be replaced as they are uncomfortable -- compress to almost nothing and then reinflate -- so we fought with them to get our heads comfortable. Bathroom tap needs some lubricant -- very hard to pull up on the knob and get water flow. And the screen door on the deck has the return cylinder set too strong so you kinda of get whacked going in and out......would suggest reducing the return pressure just a bit. These issues weren't major problems however.

A perfect stay in Paradise

This property is a little slice of heaven! The views of the lighthouse, Olympic Range, myriad of shorebirds, the ever-changing water and the passing ships was all the entertainment we needed. We even saw a pod of orcas through our binoculars. The cabin is cozy, warm, beautifully appointed, the beds are super comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. Best sleep ever for both of us. The resident deer greeted us every morning, and we caught a glimpse of the red fox as he trotted by. Our host was friendly and helpful, but totally unobtrusive. The property management company responded immediately to our Internet issue and came right out to fix it that night. Complete peace and quiet, overwhelming beauty, and exquisite comfort. What more could we ask for?

Perfect place for orca viewing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Whale Watch Point in 2022 and 2023. It’s a lovely location, perfect for viewing orcas when they are in Haro Strait. Last year I couldn’t sleep well, got up in the wee hours and heard the blows right off the deck. It was pitch black so it was only the loud blows of what seemed more than 15 whales. It was a peak moment in my life. They must have found fish since they stayed more than 20 min. I recorded it and still listen to it frequently. The guest house is immaculate, comfortable and very private. Perfect place to read, study and watch wildlife. I strongly recommend it.
