The retreat features two cozy cabins nestled amidst lush forest greenery and has a private beach, large decks, waterfront views, outdoor grill, wildlife viewing, fully equipped and stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and high-speed internet.

Spent an amazing week in San Juan and loved this location. Kitchen had everything! kids loved spending the afternoon sunning on the dock with seals swimming by. we walked to Roche Harbor for lunch and loved watching the sunset from the nearby neighborhood beach. More great restaurants 15 min from the house and a fun town to shop in. We did the whale watching cruise and saw a family of orcas. The beds were comfy. The house was clean and had everything we needed. small, simple and perfect. would love to go back!

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: We had a lovely time on San Juan Island. Saw deer, birds, and seals from the deck of this house and Ircas off cattle point and Reuben Tarte Park. The house had everything we needed to cook at home: we made clam chowder, lunch picnics for our outings and even shucked oysters. At the end of the long day if hiking and following orca sightings around the island we would play card games in front of the fire place in the house. No screens was absolutely a delight with this house- my 10 year old never noticed the absence of a tv. We'd for sure come again and stay in this lovely retreat. The house had plenty of spices( salt pepper, etc. Plenty of cookware, 2 different coffee makers- and coffee, plenty of bird books, binoculars, blankets, soap, etc. The hosts really did think of EVERYTHING!

A lovely property in a serene setting. Clean, organized, and welcoming. My two teen boys slept in the loft (one on the bed, one on an air mattress), my daughter in the bed, and my husband and I had the mini-me cabin to ourselves. Kitchen is well appointed and everything has its place. Saw seals and lots of birds (and a couple BIG raccoons), and enjoyed watching the changing landscape as the tide went out and came in. A real gem!

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: We loved the setting of this property amongst the tall evergreen trees and the proximity to the charming and historical Roche Harbor. The two cabins were well appointed, clean and the perfect size for all of us to enjoy each other and also have our privacy when desired. There were three deer that greeted us on the property which seemed like a nice omen. Our only regret was that we weren't able to stay longer. We would love to return someday for a longer stay.

Very tidy, easy check-in, gorgeous deck and location on Neil Bay, nice walk into Roche. This place is small! But charming and well-equipped! Even with the mini-me, it was still cozy quarters for our family of two adults and two teenagers.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a beautiful location. We were surprised at the outdated cabin. As we read through the property family history it was obvious that this property was well loved. However, under new ownership maybe it can be updated to reflect the price. We did not have use of the Mini Me cabin but it seemed like a cute place for a larger family.
