Beautiful location an easy walk into roche harbor and the sculpture garden with a great view. Plenty of room and comfortable. Hosts were very accommodating and communicated promptly. An older property with older fixtures and appliances, but everything in working order. Thank you!!

The location is perfect. We loved watching the boats and wildlife and we loved our daily walks to the harbor. Walking distance to several ‘must see’ spots on the island.
The house is older, not updated, and the listing is very-front about that. It was clean and had the essentials we needed for a wonderful week together as a family.

Cooling down the upper level was a bit difficult.
We really enjoyed our stay though.

Lovely property manager who was very responsive and friendly. The house is huge specially with the entire downstairs. Great location with easy walk to Roche Harbor. Great Views of the harbor but no water access. Only thing to improve on was leaving windows open as there was an overwhelming musty smell when we first walked in.
Would definitely stay there again.

We walked in and we’re hit by a stench that never left. The deck screen door was wide open. But the view was so so beautiful ! So we wanted to have a seat and enjoy it. All the deck chairs are in terrible shape- you can’t sit there. The furniture is so worn that you literally fall in. Otherwise, the beds were comfy and the upstairs bath was clean and roomy. We think a good shag carpet cleaning is needed and the deck chairs replaced. That would show the guests you care

I'll admit I was hesitant to stay here after reading previous reviews but with a budget and limited options, this is what we landed on. So happy we did because it was great for our needs. 4 adults stayed here and it had everything we needed. Yes, it is old and well loved but that's what gives it charm in our opinion. It was like stepping back in time and staying at your grandparent's house, except here you get stunning views of the harbor, and get to watch deer and all sorts of wildlife. The beds were all very comfortable and having the pool table was fun. You can walk to Roche Harbor, bike ride right from the house, walk to the mausoleum, and more. Great location and would come back again!

Reviewer Comments:
The view was terrific, just like the pictures. The beds upstairs were comfortable and provided a great nights sleep. The grill worked well and the piano and pool table were an added bonus, although it smells very musty in the basement so we did not spend a lot of time there. The living room couches were uncomfortable. Of greater concern was the electric in the house, as there were no operable lights outside or upon entry through the back door into the laundry area. This was a definite concern when coming from your car in the dark. The kitchen overhead light was not functional even though we followed the very specific directions for use. The fuse box was locked and there was a lot of extension cord usage throughout the house and not enough outlets. The kitchen faucet did not function properly and was difficult to turn off.

Best aspect of this stay was the area. If you don't want to be right in the action but close enough to walk, this is it. Great view and very relaxing. Had some issues with communicating with the property manager during our stay but those issues have been resolved. Overall would highly recommend staying here.

Reviewer Comments:
The view of Roche Harbor Marina was fantastic from the deck. Also the close location to Roche, playground and pool is ideal for families. House plan again is good for families with a downstairs children's area with twin beds, TV, piano and pool table.The house is older, so don't expect perfection. The carpets are very worn and should be replaced throughout the house, wood would be better. Downstairs is very musty and needs window screens on all windows to allow air flow. The photos on the website were obviously taken a good few years ago, house is now dated. The overgrown back was resolved by the property management. They're very helpful and easy to work with. If the house is updated we will return.

Good Multi Families Home
The view from the house is amazing and closeness to Roche, Playground and Pool is perfect for families. Split level means the children have an area to play separate from adults. House is older, so don't expect perfection. Kitchen is well stocked, but downstairs is very musty and carpets need replacing throughout dirty and very worn, wood would be better. The on line listing was a little incorrect, obviously photos were taken many years ago when things looked fresh and newer. The overgrown back was resolved after complaining. The Property managers are very helpful and easy to work with. If house gets some upgrades we will return.

This home has a spectacular view of the water and is within walking distance to the resort. The home is in need of updating as the carpets are dirty and threadbare in places. The handrail is a safety hazard and needs repaired. It sleeps 6 people comfortably with 3 bedrooms. Check-in was a breeze!

Property inside and needed a lot of work and updating. From the untended yard and worn out deck to the worn out orange shag carpeting, the list of things that need work was overwhelming but the view was amazing.

Ideal Island escape for multiple couples. Accommodations are first class and spacious— private spaces for couples, but group areas (kitchen and especially deck areas) are perfect for everyone to congregate. Morning coffee on the deck captures the calm we hoped for on this (and every) San Juan islands escape. Beverly and Steve are great hosts.

We had a lovely time and the view and location were fantastic. There was a great view of the harbor, boats, and small planes landing at the doc. In the basement was a pool table that was full size and quite good – lots of fun - although it had 2 cue balls and no 8 ball. Overall, very enjoyable time but the building itself needs much work - the deck is in need of paint and board replacements, many lamps were broken, had no bulbs, or no extension cords so that they could be used. Some of the deck chairs were broken. Plenty of blankets, comforters, etc. in top 2 bedrooms - attractive! The downstairs bedroom was quite dreary and dark, but the downstairs main room (where fold-out queen and the pool table were) was brighter. I will say a conditional “yes” to recommending the place – it would depend on the people and their expectations. As for returning, I would certainly want to know that the lighting issues had been addressed.

We loved the location and quiet of the house. Lovely view of marina.. It is well equipped and comfortable. The decks are in need of some care and the short stairway to the house needs to be better marked to prevent a fall.

We were staying with friends on their boats during the day, just sleeping at this home. It was really nice that it was on the trail to the tennis courts, swimming, field, and an easy & safe walk to the docks.The piano and pool table are a nice touch for extra entertainment.

The house was fine. It had all the basics- bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen. The kids loved the pool table and piano. The entire house was just a bit dated. From the carpets to the furniture, everything just had a very ‘old’ feel to it.

It had been about 10 years since we rented this house the last time. The house is just right for our family. It is in a great location-just the right distance from Roche Harbor. This house needs an upstairs TV and the downstairs bathroom needs a new commode. Property management extremely helpful.

Reviewer Comments:
The location near the marina in Roche Harbor was fabulous. The view was spectacular. My only complaint is about the downstairs. The TV was downstairs as was the second bathroom and the two nice bedrooms were upstairs with a bath in between. We were looking for a home with 2 BR and 2 BA which this was but it meant one of us had to use the bathroom downstairs. Downstairs did not smell like mothballs but it smelled like something slightly unpleasant. The carpet is '70s. It would have been nice to have a longer couch upstairs in the main part of the house along with a TV. It would also be nice to have a table outside, maybe even a bistro set with chairs and a small table or two. We wanted to eat every meal on the deck but all they had were gravity chairs which aren't that easy to eat out of. The view and location was worth everything but some small changes would make it slightly more comfortable and practical.
