This secluded San Juan Island home offers a hot tub, a nearby trail head to a beautiful sandy beach (rare in the San Juan Islands), a large grassy yard and wrap around deck, a wood burning stove, and a ping pong table. The special location of this house offers an amazing view spot for the local wildlife. Guests can also enjoy the hot tub (serviced professionally on a weekly basis), the large yard (with a high bank) and provided yard games (challenge your family to a round of corn hole!). You'll enjoy amazing sunrises and sunsets, and possibly experience whales swimming by, which is almost daily during the summer months!

The main level of the home has 2 bedrooms each furnished with queen size beds. The upstairs primary suite is furnished with a queen size bed and has a balcony with water views as well as an adjoining primary bathroom.

This is a wonderful family vacation home; however, parents please take caution of the steep terrain at the end of the large grassy yard.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice house in a beautiful spot. Magnificent views at any time of day and a short walk from the amazing National Park and site of US fort on the island. House is minimalist but has everything you need. Friday Harbor is close by for restaurants and Roche Harbor a pretty drive across the island.

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: My Husband and I had the most needed romantic vacation in this home. The views were incredible! We enjoyed the hottub every morning while watching the ocean. We took walks down to the beach. We found the "secret" entrance to the hiking trails at the end of the street. We especially enjoyed the wild life trail through the property. We saw River Otters, raccoons, deer,Bald eagles and few Orcas. The ping pong table kept us quite busy. I have to mention the well appointed kitchen. Especially the Wolf stove was fantastic. I one thing I missed was a TV on the main floor.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a family gathering for my mother's 90th birthday, and the home was a perfect fit for us. We had plenty of room for 7-8 people, a good sized kitchen for making big dinners, the nearby cove to explore on walks, and great views to enjoy all day. We also got to see the resident fox and otter!

Sincerely appaled by the positive reviews for this property. I'll be the first to say it, then: this home is a dirty overpriced disappointment. We knew this was an older home/ikea rental situation and chose to book it for the view. Everything was wiped down and serviceable, but considering the exorbitant cleaning fee, we expected a nicer stay. Everything felt a bit grimy and neglected. Baseboards peeling from walls with dust and bits of dead bugs, chipping and stained furniture, etc. The master bath jets were caked with mystery green grime, so no bath for baby. The house has no AC and one small slow ceiling fan. The master bedroom sliding door is inoperable so cooling down the upstairs is impossible in the evening. The house is in full sun all day, beware if you are booking during any weather above 75. The view is the best part, but trying to keep the house cool means window curtains drawn. The only outdoor furniture is two adirondak chairs, and they were so overgrown with grass and weeds they were unusable. The lawn was studded with spiky weeds and huge balls of lawn trimmings were dried and matted everywhere. The driveway entrance is overgrown so we couldn't safely pull our truck camper in to park without taking out huge branches. The host/company has a list of chores to do before you leave, absolutely greedy given how high the cleaning fee is. The dishes smelled foul. We would not stay here again, given the price with the cleaning fee we expected much better.
