About this house rental

*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***

This delightful vacation home near Roche Harbor offers all the essentials to make your vacation memorable - a waterfront exposure, superb location, comfortable furnishings, wood-burning fireplace, communication and entertainment electronics - and a feel-good, unpretentious atmosphere that defines the classic Island lifestyle. This three bedroom (two queen beds and two twin beds) home faces south with a view across pristine Neil Bay, and features a great room with floor to ceiling windows that open onto a large bi-level deck. This is where you'll likely spend time catching the sun, enjoying morning coffee, dining on long summer evenings, and watching the eagle, geese, and other bird life explore the nearby salt-water lagoons.

This home is located in a desirable neighborhood on the NW side of San Juan Island, about a 20 minute drive from Friday Harbor and the ferry. You can walk to nearby Roche Harbor within 20 minutes, where you'll find an airstrip, kid's pool, post office, marina, market, artists kiosks, shops, and three restaurants.

If you plan to tour the islands by boat, you'll appreciate the convenience of tying it up to the 40 foot dock. But, do be aware that Neil Bay can go very shallow - tide charts must always be consulted before arrival and departures by private boat.

Please note this home has two steps to get to the entrance.

We loved having morning coffee on the deck overlooking Neil Bay and watching the abundant wildlife! We saw many harbor seals, deer and bald eagles! The deck made an excellent place for viewing the 4th of July fireworks that were ignited at Roche Harbor. The house is extremely clean and well kept with everything you need. We had a fabulous vacation!

There were a few issues but the mgmt company addressed them or at least were willing to. I would stay there again.

We had an amazing time on Neil Bay! The proximity to Roche Harbor, the personal dock for our boat, the layout of the home, the ease of finding everything, and the view of the bay - all made our stay incredible. We will certainly be booking again. The only hangup we had was dancing around monitoring low tide (if you are a boater). Low tide was just 1' at times, so we had to make sure we weren't coming in or leaving around that time. Crabbing just outside of Neil Bay was pretty great too!

The Davison Head property on Neil Bay was exceptionally peaceful and allowed an immediate connection with the natural surroundings - both wooded and aquatic. The birds, mammals, and sea life were all as advertised! It provided a beautiful space to connect with family throughout the day - for meals, casual conversations, and preparation for the next island adventure. Thank you for sharing your home with our family! Mike & Paola

The house was nice, clean, with a great view. The BBQ worked great. The dock was cluttered with old crab gear, the metal apron from the bridge to the ramp was hanging loose by one bolt and dangerous, the upper dock/step hand supports we're loose, the fire pit box was falling apart and wouldn't stay on. All the wood deck furniture was loose and wobbly including the handrail leading inside, there was no coffee maker as listed, only half the toaster works, the fry pans are so old, scratched and pitted they were no longer nonstick and should be thrown away, there was no wifi as listed because it was replaced by another unit and the user name and password wasn't given. When we finally figured it out as DSL and totally worthless. Some words of caution was given about the wifi, though. Fortunately Verizon and T-Mobile service was available and we were able to use our Hotspot. These issues caused us to think about what we were getting for our over $500/night stay. Some simple maintenence to tighten the screws and bolts on the fire pit, deck furniture and dock, some newer pans, toaster and of course a coffee maker.

This is our third rental on Neil Bay and by far our favorite. The large deck was like a magnet. The five of us spent many hours out there watching the wildlife and dining. The home is spacious, with comfortable furniture and beds, quality linens, light and airy bathrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen. The location is perfect for walking, kayaking, and bike rides into Roche Harbor and surroundings. We had a wonderful time and hope to return!

Our family gave it a 5-star rating because of its convenience to Roche Harbor (walking) and the good dock. We are a boating family - fishing, crabbing or exploring were our activities. We managed to get out of Neil Bay early a.m. before low tide and return in the evening at high tide. The kitchen/living arrangements were more than adequate for the evenings that we cooked in! All in all - it was a delightful experience and we are happy with our choice.
