Reviewer Comments:
This is a very nice two-bedroom home. Nicely appointed kitchen and living room. The water views from most rooms and the deck are excellent. We watched Orcas swim by on our first night. The house is very clean and is well maintained. One suggestion would be to fix/improve the water pressure in the master shower. The water pressure from the faucets throughout the house and the upstairs bathroom are fine. Would stay here again.

The property's location is out of town so you will need a car. Taxis on San Juan Island are unpredictable. The property needs a rehab/upgrade. There is one tv in the entire property which is the size of a PC monitor.
San Juan Property Management is laughably incompetent. We rent houses all over the world and San Juan Property Management is the worst we have dealt with.
Finally, for VRBO, why is it I agree with your terms and conditions, reserve a property (like this property) and THEN I receive San Juan Property's terms and conditions?

Perfect place to unwind, appreciate nature -- even luck out with seeing orcas right out front (no lie!). We saw bald eagles, hummingbirds, deer, fish jumping out of the water, AND orcas swam right by us one late afternoon! Beautiful, clean place with lovely views. I didn't want to leave.

The house was clean and well equipped. The view was just amazing. We had a wonderful and relaxing time here. There are no blinds in the main bedroom, so bring your eye covers. The mattresses are also very soft and a bit uncomfortable.

The house was gorgeous, we enjoyed it , but for all the 1000$ fees on top of the rental , the manager did not even welcome us with a bottle of wine, very stingy!coffee maker and toaster and pots and pans were very poor quality.Table ware was very nice. Manager unflexible about letting us leave at 11,,I am partially disable and had to wake up at 6 am to be able to leave by 10, actually left at 9:20 am. Covid is no longer an issue.arrival is at 4 pm so there was plenty of time to clean house. I would only reccommend if the person had no limitations to leave early.We liked hiking at english camp and visiting the sculpture park. we did not eat out.went what watching w safari tours. Bring warm clothes , sunny but cold wind.Enjoyed recipe books from owner.

I came from Seattle with my partner & in-laws who were visiting from out of state and wanted to see the islands. The property location is supreme, just a five minute drive from Friday Harbor, making grocery shopping, exploring, & accessing the ferry effortless. The home is beautiful with jaw-dropping views of the Salish Sea; you could spend hours sitting on the deck watching the light change with the passing sun; on our first evening we even saw two humpback whales swimming by. Kitchen was spacious and well-stocked, and we appreciated the books and thoughtful touches throughout.
My primary comments for improvement would be some thoughtful updates to sleeping accommodations. Both mattresses felt old, creaky, and misshapen after presumed years of use, and pillows were thin and flimsy. The wide windows that offer such beautiful views proved troublesome for sleeping during the northwest's long summer days, as darkness didn't settle until 10pm and we were all woken by the early summer sunrise pouring in at 5am with no blinds to help us fall back to sleep. As a result, all four of us slept poorly both nights of our stay. I would also recommend a larger tv with improved seating layout for visitors who may want to unwind and watch a movie together after a full day exploring the island. All in all, this is a beautiful property with incredible views in a fabulous location, but more care could be paid to physical comfort and details that consider visitor's experience in the space.

Our stay at Waters Edge was great. The house was peaceful and well appointed. The view overlooking the water could not have been more beautiful and fascinating. We had deer come into the backyard and saw eagles, dolphins, and seals from the deck. Proximity to town was just right and you can easily access the rest of the island. Waters Edge is a place we hope to return to, as it is as memorable as it is serene.

What a beautiful home in a beautiful setting, very peaceful. The view was exceptional and the home had all of the essentials needed for a comfortable getaway. There was a lot of space for 3-4 people.

We loved everything about our stay at Waters Edge! What a great house--the home is elegant, with simple and lovely well thought out features. The outstanding views and large windows augmented the interior, and the deck was fantastic, and flowed from inside to outside nicely. Such a great layout. I usually like staying on the west side of the island for the sunsets, but the sunrises here were beautiful and worth the wake. I loved looking out at Shaw and Orcas. Turtle Back Mountain on Orcas looms right there, and I could even see into the Marina at Deer Harbor (in the distance). Was great being so close to town, but really you're never too far from anywhere on the island. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We loved Water's Edge. The views were gorgeous. We saw bald eagles several times either flying by or siting in a nearby tree. The kitchen was very well stocked. We would definitely return.

Everything was great! Beautiful view, clean, new, incredible architecture and spacious. Please be mindful that the 2nd bedroom is a loft above the kitchen. My only complaint is that we were not allowed to use the master bedroom closet so we had to hang our clothes in the front hall closet. We had a great time!!!

Very unique property. Great location/views. Equiped like a high end home not like a rental. The home is well cared for and is large for a two bedroom. The closet in the master is reserved for the owner so the hanging storage is limited to the hall closet. The secondary bedroom is open to the kitchen and the two sided fireplace creates some privacy issues for the master. The TV arangement is less than ideal. That said I would rent it again without question. The house is special.

We truly enjoyed our stay. Views were magnificent. Very clean. Close to Friday Harbor. The property was as advertised. My only issue was we were not allowed use of the master bedroom closet so we had to use the front hall closet. Otherwise, 5 stars all the way!!

Beautiful home with an amazing view. The second bedroom was a loft that was partially open to the lower level which wasn’t ideal if someone in it wants to sleep in! Other than that, it was perfect.

This home is close enough to town, but set in the woods at the edge of the bay. The kitchen has everything needed plus more I wish I had in my kitchen at home. The bedding and towels are clean and laundry facilities are easy to use with supplies available. The view on the deck is relaxing with kayaks and boats going by, even an eagle swooped by one morning. It's in the woods, so be prepared for an occasional spider. Excellent communication with the property management company. I would love to stay in the property again.

...and watching the world go by or as a jumping off point to see and enjoy San Juan Island and surrounds. This is an ideal VRBO, with views to die for, comfortable and smart accommodations. What suggestions I'd have are minor (no shampoo) and the praise I have is major. I envision returning.
