About this house rental
Heron House on Westcott Bay – Waterfront living near Roche Harbor
Welcome to picturesque Westcott Bay, a quiet retreat, 5 minutes walk from Roche Harbor Resort, shopping and all marina facilities. Heron House is a dog friendly vacation rental newly constructed in October of 2017…3 minutes walk to Roche Harbor’s dog park. Fly in, boat in, or drive in, you’re never more than 5 minutes walk to the Heron House.
What to do on Westcott Bay? Well, you could walk 50 feet out your back door to the beach, or stroll, on all but the highest tides, to Picnic Island. Use the two fishing kayaks to paddle around the bay, troll a line, or set a crab trap. On the weekend, paddle over to the Westcott Bay Shellfish farm for their famous barbequed oysters. Maybe you’d like to hike the nationally recognized trails … all without having to get in your car! If it’s a stroll you have in mind, walk the 3 mile loop past the sculpture gardens (off leash for dogs), through Roche Harbor Resort itself, stopping briefly at Westcott Bay Cider for a tasting, catch a rare Pokémon at the lighthouse mailbox opposite the old quarry 9 swimming hole, and … you’re back home.
If drive you must, head over to Lime Kiln Point for some orca watching, tide pooling, or having a picnic lunch. You could drive 9 miles into the big city of Friday Harbor for all the amenities of a small town.
Roche Harbor Resort provides the opportunity to book a whale watching trip, join a kayak tour around the north end of Henry Island, or, if you’re lucky…schedule a wedding
The Heron House is named for the great blue herons that daily stalk the shallows or perch on Picnic Island. Bring your camera for some close up shots of them or the bald eagles that fish in Westcott Bay.
However you enjoy our home, we’re glad you stopped by.
Cheers,
Dave and Sue and Stella-mae

Summary of reviewsLoved the house with everything we needed, beautiful views and cozy atmosphere. Perfect for family getaways!
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
Our stay at Heron House was amazing, from the beautiful views from inside the house to the views from the outside decks. The house was clean and the bedroom set up worked perfectly for our group. We loved the ability to walk to Roche Harbor as parking can be a challenge. The ping pong table was a plus since we had some rainy days and the clamming gear was a fun way to get outside in nature, we were actually able to dig enough clams to make a delicious pasta dinner. The living and dining room furniture is uncomfortable. Thanks again and I hope we are able to stay here again sometime in the future.

23 Jun 2026, Adult family of 7 for my husband’s 60th Surprise Birthday get together. We stayed 5 nights. We’ve stayed in many many VRBO’s over last few years and this one truly exceeded our expectations. Absolutely gorgeous inside and out with perfect location near the water. Spectacular water views from inside and on back deck. Fun short walk to Roche Harbor restaurants and we rented a 12 passenger van for trips to Friday Harbor for golfing and fun touristy stuff. Absolutely loved this house and location and can’t wait to come back again!! Thank you, Lori B

Such a beautiful place! We found the accommodations to be very comfortable and loved all the special touches for our dog (dog bed, towels, etc provided). We would recommend and would stay here again. Thanks for a lovely stay!
