Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the setting of this property amongst the tall evergreen trees and the proximity to the charming and historical Roche Harbor. The two cabins were well appointed, clean and the perfect size for all of us to enjoy each other and also have our privacy when desired. There were three deer that greeted us on the property which seemed like a nice omen. Our only regret was that we weren't able to stay longer. We would love to return someday for a longer stay.

Very tidy, easy check-in, gorgeous deck and location on Neil Bay, nice walk into Roche. This place is small! But charming and well-equipped! Even with the mini-me, it was still cozy quarters for our family of two adults and two teenagers.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a beautiful location. We were surprised at the outdated cabin. As we read through the property family history it was obvious that this property was well loved. However, under new ownership maybe it can be updated to reflect the price. We did not have use of the Mini Me cabin but it seemed like a cute place for a larger family.

We enjoyed our stay. The living spaces are small but organized well and functional. Note that the the loft mattress is thin and the Mini-Me shower pan needs to be replaced or repaired. The dock is pretty but I’m not confident you can swim in the water. We would book this rental again.

The house and mini-me cabin were perfect for our stay. The kitchen had everything needed and the units were clean and well stocked. The access to the water was wonderful for our many kayaking and paddling adventures. Thoroughly enjoyed the property.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were expecting a really incredible place as this place cost us over $1,000 per night (including taxes and fees). We have stayed on San Juan Island at different places for about 30 years, usually renting from San Juan Property Management. We could not get our usual place this year so we elected to go with Neil Bay Waterfront Retreat.The photos on the website make the place look much bigger but in reality, the main cabin is really small, more like a studio. There were basically no sitting area. The upstairs loft had a bed with a thin mattress on a wooden slate, super uncomfortable. The view was of a water inlet when the tide was not low; with low tide, it was a view of mud and water.The mini-cabin was nice. The main cabin was actually comfortable if you did not use the loft. However, it definitely is not worth $1,000 per night.Our main complaint was the cost. Incredible that they are charging over $1,000 for this place; the actual value should be $500 or less. With a $1,000 cost, we were expecting a way better place and basically, we thought that the price was extraodinary high. We have never paid this much for a rental and our expectations were far greater with this price. I do not want to be too harsh but given the price, it was a rip-off.As mentioned above, we have been going to San Juan Island for over 30 years. This year, in addition to San Juan Island, we are also going to Lopez and Orcas Islands, as we usually do. We have rented places in the $350 range that are far superior to this place, on the beach, with incredible views and charming accomodations. We had done the same in the past on San Juan Island. Again, for $1,000 per night, I would avoid this place. It is horrible value for what they are charging.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. 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: A wonderful location tucked away on a remote part of San Juan Island. It was so fun having our own little retreat with multiple cabins. The only drawback was the management company. Constant threatening reminders that we will pay for late check out or early check in, an exorbitant cleaning fee with and a cleaning list to complete during check out were not very friendly or accommodating for such an expensive stay.
