About this house rental

*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. This home is not suitable for small children as there are higher sections of the property near deep water. ***

This San Juan Island vacation rental home offers sweeping views across San Juan Channel to Orcas Island and other surrounding islands. Floor to ceiling windows invite the exquisite beauty of nature into your living room, kitchen, and dining areas - the waterfront is so near that it feels like part of the living room! The natural environment surrounding this home provides frequent sightings of deer, eagles, porpoise, seals, sea lions, and on occasion, Orca and Minke Whales. This home is an ideal setting for those who enjoy reading, fishing, cooking, hiking, and just relaxing to the sound of the sea.

The living room opens to one of three decks and is furnished with wall-to-wall carpeting, leather seating, DVD/CD & i-pod player. Fleece blankets are thoughtfully provided to keep you cozy while sitting outside by the fire pit or at the waterside bench. Two queen-sized bedrooms face the water, and enjoy their private decks, reading areas & radios. The master bedroom features a seating area, and the master bath offers a walk-in shower. A third bedroom contains two twin beds and a concealed Maytag washer and dryer.

Gourmet cooking and entertaining are encouraged in this vacation home's well-equipped kitchen, which offers a bread machine, ice maker, service for 12, serving dishes, candles, a new dishwasher, a high-tech induction stovetop, seasonings, two ovens, and cookbooks. There is a gas BBQ just outside and herbs growing in containers for your use. This property offers a horseshoe pit and a ping-pong table in the garage.

Reach the rocky shoreline on an easy path down four steps. Hikers will enjoy discovering the Old Growth Forest Reserve just three blocks away. At Channel House, you can blissfully escape from the world, but if you decide to tune in, there is a 55" HDTV for the internet, movie channels, and a Blu-ray DVD player that can be used with 3D or regular video discs. Cell coverage can be spotty so there is a land line with free long distance calls to US, Mexico and Canada.

Channel House is located at the end of a private road, just 2.5 miles from the ferry landing and the Town of Friday Harbor, where you will enjoy many shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.

Please note this home has a long steep driveway with 4 steps to the entrance.

This house was beautiful and well equipped. The setting was spectacular, and the layout, with its many decks, cozy throw blankets, and comfortable Adirondack chairs made our trip incredibly pleasant. So close to town, and yet so very far away. I can't wait to visit again.

Our group had an absolutely amazing time. The multiple sitting areas to visit together while gazing out at the gorgeous scenery was marvelous. Our group spent time by the fire pit, on both decks, and even gazing out the large scenic windows in the living room. This was exactly what we were looking for. On our last day, as we were packing up, I looked out the window to see three orcas surfacing and swimming by! What an absolute treat! The home was clean and well stocked with whatever kitchen amenities, towels, extra blankets, and things we might need. Some guests did mention that the twin beds are quite firm, and future guests should be aware that the driveway is quite steep and a tight turn to get in and out.

Lovely location! Beautiful views! However, our power went out unexpectedly and our internet availability was virtually non extistent. The bathroom sink upstairs was super clogged and did not drain. Well equipped kitchen😊

All four of us loved our stay at the Channel House. It had amazing views, decks, and nice provisions. The rooms were very large with views except the twin bed room. It is only a short distance from Friday Harbor and 15 minutes drive to Roche Harbor. I rode my ebike from the house over the island and loved the scenery. The beaches were very nice espeically South Beach and Cattle Rd Beach

The views were amazing, and the decks were great places to take it all in. It was also nice walking down the path towards the water. We saw many birds, including a king fisher that perched by the water every day. We also saw a seal and some deer. The kitchen had everything we needed. There are enough dishes to feed a lot more people than could fit in the place! Location is only a short drive from downtown Friday Harbor. the driveway involves a sharp turn and is a little narrow, but it was easy to turn around at the bottom by pulling into the garage. The walking path from the parking pad to the front door is a gravel slope, so it's best to take it slow and to carry your bags. A rolling suitcase won't do well on the gravel.

The property has amazing views! We saw so many animals without even having to leave the property. I would stay here again!
