This is one of the best rentals we have ever stayed in. It is down a back road so very quiet and we were totally immersed in nature and animals. We saw the orca pods twice from the balcony. The lighthouse is in full view and lit up at night. The large ships passing by are very entertaining. You can see the Olympics and Vancouver Island. Many deer, foxes and a cute raccoon pass through the property daily. The house had everything we needed and the furniture & beds were very comfortable. Tidy, well decorated, clean & just the perfect size for us. We absolutely loved our stay. 5 stars all the way.

Beautiful views. Very quiet area. Abundant wildlife, deer, fox, racoon, eagles. Loved the winding drive in.

It was a great time and the view was cool.

Really nice place, I slept for hours in the quiet. Good kitchen for making meals and one of the best views on the island.

This property is a little slice of heaven! The views of the lighthouse, Olympic Range, myriad of shorebirds, the ever-changing water and the passing ships was all the entertainment we needed. We even saw a pod of orcas through our binoculars. The cabin is cozy, warm, beautifully appointed, the beds are super comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. Best sleep ever for both of us. The resident deer greeted us every morning, and we caught a glimpse of the red fox as he trotted by. Our host was friendly and helpful, but totally unobtrusive. The property management company responded immediately to our Internet issue and came right out to fix it that night. Complete peace and quiet, overwhelming beauty, and exquisite comfort. What more could we ask for?

Simply amazing long weekend. Perfect location for a quiet, beautiful getaway.

Last year I couldn’t sleep well, got up in the wee hours and heard the blows right off the deck. It was pitch black so it was only the loud blows of what seemed more than 15 whales. It was a peak moment in my life. They must have found fish since they stayed more than 20 min. I recorded it and still listen to it frequently. The guest house is immaculate, comfortable and very private. Perfect place to read, study and watch wildlife. I strongly recommend it.

So so many fruit flies! An iron, but no ironing board No Kleenex?! No forewarning that parking was 80 yards away Tub drain needs work Bedrooms should both have nightstands No wine glasses!

The private setting is in a green moss covered forest and the wild animals graze right next to you. It is a short drive to Friday Harbor for the shops while being secluded enough to avoid crowds. We were very sad to leave this magical little place. Would definitely recommend it for folks who like peaceful natural settings.

Wow, what a beautiful retreat! The deck and view were amazing, could see Lime Kiln lighthouse and full ocean view. Had everything we needed comfort wise, we did stock up with cooler and food for our 3 days before getting on the ferry since we’ve done several trips to more “remote” spots and weren’t sure what to expect on SJI. Actually, we could’ve just shopped at Friday Harbor grocery store, but with the ferry delay it worked out best for us. We arrived later than expected at 8 pm, but given the light of the summer evenings, it was like sunset time. Our mouths were already agape with the beauty of the island during the drive, we were even more blown away when we pulled into the driveway to be met with 4 deer, a fox, and a raccoon on his hind legs, all in the front yard, heads turned toward us just frozen for a minute. We felt like we had just entered a magical forest island, which…we had. Great location, did some forest to view hikes each day, on the south, central and west side of the island for the most part, returning to our own paradise spot by late afternoon. No whales spotted, but we got our fill of nature’s beauty for sure. Had everything we needed in kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and being able to do laundry before heading to our second leg in Olympic NP cut down on our packing. Brief encounters with the owners, they were very kind. Really good, clear instructions posted inside the property. We will definitely be back, but will make ferry reservations early!

We didn’t see any whales, but we saw deer, foxes, raccoons, eagles, and many other birds. Make sure to check out the bench just past the main house for incredible sunset views!

The views from this property are absolutely lovely--as is the property itself. The house could use a few improvements. There is no gas or barbecue grill. Even though there were three in our party, there are only two chairs on the deck and further out on the property. There are no cushions for any outdoor seating, so it's not very comfortable. The sofa is a bit old and really sinks down, so you can't even see out the windows unless you sit at the dining table. The owner feeds the wild animals out of her hand and the use of a leaf blower at 9:00 a.m. when check out was at 10 really was not appreciated. We were packing up and would have enjoy a last few minutes of tranquility.

Beautiful and relaxing postcard setting. Quiet. Wildlife all around. Just a wonderful week.

This is our second time in this wonderful property, and we cannot wait to plan our next trip! The views, tranquility and location are absolutely amazing, and you are surrounded in nature with easy access to activities that the island offers.

Cannot beat the serenity and scenic quality of this spot! Everything was perfect!

The pace was accurately depicted on VRBO. Access was easy and informative, as well, the property was clean and location was one of the most beautiful I have been to.

Highly recommended. The home is as pictured. The views are just outstanding. The home was spotless and comfortable. We bumped into the property owners and they are great people and have a wonderful place. You'll enjoy it.

A great weekend away in a magnificent location. I will definitely recommend Whale Watch Point and look forward to our next visit.

While we were there we had deer, fox and racoons stop by outside. I'm sure the whales were playing in the bay while we were sleeping. We had a great time.I wonder if it is time for them to revise their cleaning policy. We are rule followers, so did not mind pulling off the sheets, doing the dishes, carrying out the trash and straightening up the place as requested. After doing much of the heavy work we still paid $300 on "cleaning fees" including an extra $90 for "covid cleaning". I think that is excessive.

Reviewer Comments: Peaceful, charming. i felt like a Disney princess with the critters that were there - foxes, deer, raccoons....looked like they were residents too. LOVED IT!

We come to SJI almost every summer or fall. This is the best of all our stays. The guest house is lovely and the location couldn’t have been better. Right on Haro Strait and just slightly north of Lime Kiln. We saw J-pod 7 of our 9-day stay. And saw the Bigg’s 1 day. We hope to be back again. The property management company was very responsive the one time we had a question about garbage.

So happy to return to this beautiful location. The cabin is decorated beautifully and clean. The view is amazing . My last evening thee was magical, as I saw 12 members of L pod pass by.

Our stay was phenomenal. The house is perfect for a couple. The owners of the property are amazing. They had some great recommendations for places to go and things to do. The vantage points on this property are top notch. It’s just far enough out of town to be super quiet but not so far that it felt like a bother to go back in. While we didn’t see any whales at the property, we saw the resident deer, fox, and eagles. We will absolutely be back.

Although no whales passed by, we were entertained by fox, bald eagles, and deer. The house is well equipped for simple cooking and equidistant from Roche Harbor (where we kayaked) and Friday Harbor (where we had dinner).

The location lived up to, and totally exceeded, expectations. Stunning views, LOTS of wildlife, and very private. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is quaint and the privacy is wonderful. The fox and deer were a joy to watch! We hoped to spy a whale or two the 3 days we were there, but we were over the top at seeing nearly 80 Orcas! May have been the same ones swimming upstream and downstream, and we have heard sightings are rarer these days, but so glad we had this memory of a lifetime. Sunrise and sunset times were the best.

The place was clean and we had all we needed to enjoy it. Even without seeing the Orcas, the view from the porch is breath taking.

The only 4 star I gave was that it would be nice to have luggage racks but none existed so the floor was the only option. The bathroom has a lot of wall space but no hooks or bars exist to hang wet towels. Very minor indeed but needs mentioning, as others have also noted previously. Thank you for a wonderful moment in time!
