About this house rental
Waterfront home with a hot tub and views of Spieden Island. Sunrise and Sunset House. Your quiet home away from home, located just one mile northeast of Roche Harbor village, is waiting! The perfect spot to escape from the mainland, away from traffic noise and crowds and ease into 'island time'.
1 dog per reservation. The dog is not to be left unattended. If a dog is left unattended and a neighbor calls to complain, renter will be charged a $200 fee. House trained. Weight must be less than 60 lbs. No pets on furniture. The renter assumes responsibility for all extra cleaning needed such as emergency carpet cleaning, furniture replacement, and or emergency laundromat use for bulky items like comforters and pillows. The dog must be house trained and on-leash while outside.
This home is comfortably appointed throughout. The kitchen has been stocked with ample cookware! The entertainment has also undergone an upgrade and now offers DISH for PAC-12 network and local channels.
This home is perfect for a quiet and relaxing family getaway (not suitable for parties or large gatherings as it is located in a quiet neighborhood)
The house sleeps 8 comfortably, with two large living areas. There is a fully equipped kitchen with separate dining room, three bedrooms, and three bathrooms. The upstairs of the home offers a large bedroom, but is split to allow privacy between the 3 twin beds on one end and the Queen bed on the other. Television and internet via satellite. The entire back of the house faces Spieden Channel and there is a wraparound deck complete with a hot tub that can accommodate six.
All you need to bring is your clothes and your food - everything else is at the house: linens, cookware, utensils, towels, etc.
Bird watching will result in seeing bald eagles, Oregon juncos, American crows, gold finch, northern flickers and a variety of seagulls.
Deer drop by often on the property and there have been many sightings of otters, Dall's porpoises, harbor seals, and yes, sometimes the resident orcas pay us a visit.
Our home is only 12 miles from Friday Harbor, where the ferry lands. There are plenty of opportunities on San Juan Island to visit historic landmarks, go shopping, stroll around museums, attend a live theater performance, listen to music, hike grasslands or mountains, go fishing in fresh water or salt, walk on a beach, ride a horse, participate in a zip line, attend a farmers' market, learn about the island, explore thrift stores, lose yourself in a bookstore, chat with the friendly locals, sail into the sunset, eat like royalty, commune with nature, and sleep like a baby.

This beautiful home has a gorgeous view of the water. It is close to Roche Harbor & about 25 minutes from Friday Harbor. You definitely need a car to get around the island. The home is not exactly as pictured & does need some updating (i.e. Painting & touch ups. Kitchen needs updating as well) Loved the layout. The beds were comfortable. I was disappointed that they did not provide any coffee (1 pkg would have been nice to have for our 1st morning stay, before going out) Also they did not provide any body wash or shampoo (most rentals do include this) Please note that water is limited & you are asked to limit showers to 1 daily & only fill the washer 1/4 full. The washer needs to be updated to a water saving model to help w/ water issue & accommodate larger loads; especially since you request that renters start a wash of towels prior to leaving (we could only wash a few at a time, so I did 2 loads). The living room & dining areas have the most beautiful view. The only thing missing was a gas or electric fireplace that was useable. Overall the home is very comfortable, peaceful & relaxing & we enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time enjoying the views and the comfortable home while we visited San Juan Island. The location is excellent! Thank you for allowing us to visit your home!

This was a great house for us to make meals together and relax in the hot tub under the stars.
It was my husband and I and our three adult children
Had we any grandkids the room with the twin beds above the rec room would've been great.

We loved it!
Large kitchen with lighted pantry was well appointed. Only issue with kitchen was lack large coffee mugs, so we bought 4 on sale at the drugstore.
The house is gorgeous, but...the dusty fake plants have got to go.
The downstairs bathroom was smelling funky... perhaps septic system related.
The throws, books and DVDs were great.
We used the fireplace 2 nights and loved it.
The hot tube was great.
Saw eagles every day (perched on a tree in the yard) and humpback whales one morning.
The dining room table was perfect for jig saw puzzle work...with room for 6 to eat dinner.
Beds were super...we all slept very well. New pillows would be welcomed.
Large spacious home was near perfect. Thank you for letting us stay!

Gorgeous home with a beautiful water view. We saw bald eagles, and even a whale from the living room windows.

We stayed at the Sunrise and Sunset House for a long weekend and wish we could have stayed longer. The house has a great layout for our group of five. The location near Roche Harbor was magnificent. We saw all kinds of wildlife from the deck. The home was clean upon arrival and the decor is warm and inviting. The mattresses on the main level beds are very firm. Great for those that prefer that, although I prefer a somewhat softer mattress myself. We ate most of our meals out since our visit was so quick, so we didn't use any of the kitchen appliances, other than the fridge and coffee maker. We would definitely stay here again.

The minute we walked in we were in island heaven. All we could see from the window was the water, nature, Spieden Island and the deck that we could enjoy it all!

Our group of 5 and a pup had an amazing stay at Sunrise and Sunset House. The highlight was the amazing view from the deck, where we watched porpoises, sea lions, and bald eagles pass by often. We loved the quiet neighborhood and a short walk to a small beach where we took some quick refreshing swims. Sleeping accommodations, living areas, and the kitchen were all great. We wish we had more intel on the amenities: we had to bring our own shampoo, kitchen knives were dull, and we added to the pile of ~1,000 coffee filters that don't really fit the coffeemaker. Overall amazing stay.
4.5
We recently stayed at the property and it definitely had an excellent location, but unfortunately, the services provided were not up to par. To start with, there was no shampoo provided, for a rental this price this seems like a basic toiletry to have provided, which was quite disappointing as it's a standard amenity that we would expect from any rental property.
Another major issue was that the fireplace was broken, and despite the management were aware of it before our arrival, they were unable to resolve the problem during our stay. They made no attempt to rectify the situation afterwards and our request for any reasonable restitution were rejected by the owner. This was a letdown, as we did not feel respected as guests. This lack of customer service was disheartening, and it left us feeling dissatisfied with our overall experience.
The communication with the management company was also not good. Their responses were slow and all the answers we got were a straight no. Don’t expect to check out later than 10am. They wouldn’t even try if it’s not for their convenience.
Despite the prime location of the rental, we cannot recommend this property due to the inadequate services provided and the lack of effort made by the management to address the issues. Overall, it’s a very unwelcoming stay. We were very disappointed.

This was such a beautiful property and the view was gorgeous. We were super cozy during our trip and loved how quiet the area is. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home :)

The house was super clean and well furnished. Much better than the pictures showed. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends and we would stay here again if we could.

Perfect property for our group. Beautiful view. Quiet and peaceful. Great area for walking. Loved the layout of the house. We have stayed in several rentals on San Juan and this was one of our favorites.

We are a group of 8 women that try to get together for a weekend of reconnecting a couple times a year. This was a perfect property for us. It’s clean, roomy and comfortable for a group our size. The view is spectacular which adds to the enjoyment of staying here. I would definitely go back as well as recommend it to others. We all appreciated the short check out task list.

Perfect, perfect, perfect! Took my dad for his 62nd birthday and blew him out of the water! The views, the serenity, the peace and quiet, the quality of beds, and the necessities included in the rental. Great trip!!!

Perfect for family bonding...playing cards, dice or board games in a comfy family room after dark (view gone). Fully stocked kitchen allowed cooking options. Neighborhood felt same. Super easy access to all of Roche Harbor.
4.5
The property sits in a perfect setting and is an easy stroll to Roche Harbor through a wonderful neighborhood. All the many amenities of the home were used and we each had our own bedroom. We did not use the media room because we just enjoyed the water view side better. A bald eagle watching for fish on a nearby branch was our bonus.
The stove had two burners out which was our only negative.
Highly recommend!

Reviewer Comments:
We had a great time at the house and around San Juan with three generations of our family. The house is big, there is plenty of space so no one feels like they are crowding out others. The only slight gripe is that some of the kitchen appliances are very old, so if you are planning on cooking a bunch like we were, you may want to keep the recipes simple, otherwise it can be a bit of a frustrating experience.

Beautiful gem at the northern end of San Juan
We really enjoyed our stay here! The house and view are exactly as described and pictured. It was beyond clean and everything was ready for us. It's about :25 into Friday Harbor but Google maps worked great and we enjoyed getting to know the island roads. It's really close to Roche Harbor as well, so we went there a few times. Really beautiful, peaceful stay. Would recommend to anyone.

Great home
Beautiful views and sunsets. House was just as advertised, lots of room and walking distance to Roche Harbor, and very quiet setting Would have given 5 star review, but needed a better cleaning. Dirty towels were left in one bathroom and found cigarette butts under the bed upstairs while looking for my sons toy. Rest of the house was clean, just missed a couple of things. We had a great time and will be going back for another relaxing week.

Amazing trip
We shared this house with another family and our kids. The views are simply amazing! The pictures did not disappoint. We spent most of the time on the deck. Saw bald eagles, seals and porpoise. Absolutely would recommend!

We had 4 adults, 2 children and a dog staying in this home and it was more than enough room for all. The upstairs bedroom with 3 twin beds doesn't have a door on it, so we moved the kids to the downstairs bedroom and that worked out better for us. Also, the upstairs bathroom is a bit small to share with anyone staying in the upstairs rooms. The area is super quiet and the people we saw were very friendly. Quick walk to a beautiful beach. The views from the deck can't be beat! We were so exited to see otters and porpoises from the deck, deer in the yard and tons of eagles without having to leave the house. The hot tub was perfect on the windy and cold spring days. FYI there are VHS movies and DVDs in the house, but no way to play them. The kitchen has plenty of space and is well stocked. We cooked all meals at the house over our 6 day stay. We enjoyed some of the provided board games and puzzles (the Lego puzzle was our favorite). We loved our family vacation at this house and look forward to coming back in the future.

Renting this property was really easy and is a great place for a mellow family get together. The hot tub with the incredible view was a big added plus. Really well supplied kitchen and enough beds and bathrooms to give everyone a little privacy. The place was very clean upon arrival and all instructions made it a cinch to be there. The kitchen and bathrooms are slightly out of date with a very small shower stall but everything worked great. We were sad there were no fires allowed due to ordinances on the island but that’s the new world we live in, unfortunately. We would absolutely rent this place again or recommend it to friends!
