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.

Good management they came and helped us with the hot tub.

Reviewer Comments: We loved the location, within walking distance for hikes and beaches.The yard was large, the hot tub was terrific, hot and ready all the time. The kitchen was very well equipped. We saw orca whales swimming by the house. Two different fox came to visit in the evenings. We took full advantage of all the area has to offer: a short drive to both Roche Harbor and Friday Harbor to wander through the town and have something to eat, the Alpaca Farm, a whale watching tour and more. The house itself had plenty of room for our family of 6. We stayed a week, it was a wonderful experience!

What an amazing property.

We stayed for four days with our family of 8. We have 6 kids ages 11 and under. The location of the Eagle Cove beach was wonderful. Extremely easy walk for all ages. It was also an easy drive to all island destinations. I originally was concerned about the cliff in the photo. If you have young children that wander or don’t listen, that might be stressful. Due to the ages of our children it was no issue. We loved the views, hot tub, outdoor eating area, games (monopoly was of course a hit), seeing the foxes and the kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfy and rooms were clean. The check out time would benefit from an 10:30 or 11am timing, which seems to be a consistent feedback from reviewers. We did appreciate that even though it said you’d get fined arriving before 4pm for check in, that we received a text that it was ready early. All in all we’d stay there again and recommend it to others. Thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful property, beautiful views. Looked just like the photos. The house fit our group of 6 just fine. 2 nights was perfect. My only complaints are the check in time in late and check out time is early, 4 PM and 10 AM (10 AM check out is a little too early!). And, the over the top extra fees that the rental agency and house owner charges. $300 cleaning fee. $150 non-refundable damage waiver fee. $150 pandemic cleaning fee, $600 in total fees just to clean the house for a two night stay was in short, insane. Really nice stay though.

The house was perfect for a relaxing get away with friends. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The views are amazing and the beach was great!

We had a wonderful time here. The house was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and even had a really well seasoned cast iron skillet that was a joy to use. In other reviews, people mentioned the sparse decor, but for a family with small children, this was absolutely perfect. The house has a spectacular view and they have a telescope and binoculars there to use. We had a great time checking out the stars and the wildlife. While we were there we saw sea lions, a bald eagle family, and a whale! The property is right next door to eagle cove beach which was incredible. The path leading down to the water isn’t paved but was definitely manageable for our 2 year old and 3 year old. Overall, I’d highly recommend a stay here and we hope to be back in the future!

The house is clean and well cared for, and is stocked with everything we needed for our short stay. I particularly enjoyed the solitude and proximity to the beach. The views are spectacular and the hustle of Friday Harbor is close but not too close. I can't wait to spent time here again!

The American Camp next door provides endless paths to walk on. The house itself is lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed the ping pong table and jacuzzi. We even got a sighting of the beautiful red fox with the big bushy tail who came by the house looking for a little breakfast. Truly a treat and a home i would return to.

A bit Spartan but fabulous views. Practically no decoration in a huge home. Would have benefitted from directions on how to use the propane stove downstairs. Well equipped except for no TV on the main or second floors. Photos show a spotting scope but not there.

Every day was wonderful. Just walking up the stairs and looking across the strait to the olympic mountains would trigger a dopamine response.I can’t recommend it enough.

We loved sitting inside looking out at the most amazing view. We had a blast playing ping pong. This home is perfectly located near a park that was fabulous for early morning runs and leisurely afternoon walks. So appreciated the well equipped kitchen. It had everything we needed. Thankful, also to be able to sit and relax in the hot tub. It was clean and comfortable. Perfect! Hope we can come back again!

Hot tub not functional. Deck and railing are not entirely safe. Kitchen well equipped. Beds average, king bed in master preferred.

We loved our stay! The property had everything we needed and the kitchen was well stocked. Loved that we could walk down to the beach! So glad that there was plenty of room for all of us since the smoke rolled in and it wasn't healthy to be outdoors. Lots of poker was played at the dining room table. We would definitely stay here again!

Loved the home, the view, the toys for our 3.5 year old and the nearby beach. Great spot for families!

Great location and so close to the beach ans American Camp state park walking trails. Great viewing of orca, fox, eagles and seals. Loved using the corn holes.

We locked the property management out by mistake when they came to clean and he was so kind and understanding. All around great customer service!!

We social distanced and got out to this amazing property and away from real life. Everything was great!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great and worked well for 3 couples and 2 infants. There was plenty of space for us and was a cozy place to be on a wet and stormy day. The view was wonderful from the big windows. Nice that it was close to the American Camp and a beach--on the clear day we took walks to those 2 places. The only problem we had was that firewood at the house was wet and burned only with a roaring fire going.

Very nice and spacious home with a great view. Worked very well for three couples and 2 infants. It would have been nice to know that shoes are not allowed in the house so everyone knew to pack slippers or house shoes. The firewood at the house was so wet that it was unusable unless you had a roaring fire.

Had a wonderful stay with a multigenerational family group. Plenty of room for everyone, great views even if the weather wasn’t too good. Appreciated the proximity to town and information at the house for things to do and local hikes. Wildlife everywhere, a very friendly fox showed up many times along with a sea otter and deer in the backyard. We kept looking for whales but didn’t see any over the weekend. Management company was very helpful in getting us a rental high chair and early access so our granddaughter could nap, we really appreciated it! Great weekend!

House was exactly as pictured. Location was even better than imagined. Far enough away from the busy “downtown” area to feel completely secluded. Close enough to drive to for dinner. Saw orcas from the living room with the provided binoculars! Hot tub was awesome and completely private. We hope to be back. Wish checkout was just a bit later than 10am but literally the only “con”.

The house was even better than described and was a perfect place for a getaway. We were able to enjoy daily walks down to Eagle Cove Beach and to American Camp, and then relax in the hot tub in the evening. The big surprise for us were the foxes! It was amazing to get a chance to view them up close! We really enjoyed our first visit to San Juan Island and plan on coming back.

Great views!

Great property with amazing views and all of the amenities. Perfect for a family gathering with three pre-teens (though I would not recommend it for children younger than 6). We created a lot of new memories. Also, a shout out to the folks at San Juan Management for the kind and courteous service!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was an amazing property. We enjoyed wildlife every day, daily visit from a little fox, deer, and eagles. We also saw baby fox in the area. We hiked in both the American and English camps, views were spectacular. We bought fish at the market in Friday Harbor and cooked every night. The weather was perfect. It was hard to leave.
