Easy to give this one five stars! It was all decked out with everything we needed from laundry to grill to kayaks and paddle board. All on site with an amazing view of the bay. So worth it, would love to come back!

Our group of six family members had an absolutely wonderful stay at this lovely and comfortable home. It's in a great location and an easy walk to the Roche Harbor Resort. We did a lot of fun things on the island, but we especially loved hanging out on the spacious deck and enjoying the view of Westcott Bay. No one wanted to come home!

Outstanding experience. This is the 2nd time our extended family of 8 has stayed at this rental. The location is perfect, minutes from Roche Harbor, and twenty minutes to Friday Harbor. One of our favorite things to do is digging for clams on the property when the tide is out. The smaller clams are delicious when cooked. There is one large canoe, several kayaks, and bikes for use. Between Roche Harbor and Friday Harbor there are many great restaurants to choose from. Views from the deck are incredible. We plan to come back in the future.

Perfect accommodations from start to finish! The kitchen had everything we needed, the bedrooms and beds were very comfortable & the view from inside & outside was spectacular! The added amenities, kayaks & bikes, to name a couple, made it even better!!

This lovely waterfront island home was well equipt and clean. There were many extras such as kayaks, paddle boards, ping pong, bikes, clam digging equiptment. We loved watching and listening to all of the birds including blue herron and eagles. The location was close to Roche Harbor and the Oyster Farm. Nice home for a family get away.

I stayed here for a week with my wife and 18 month old daughter as well as my in-laws. Plenty of room for everyone, incredible deck with water views and kayaks to use on Westcott Bay. Amazing property and a delightful first visit to SJI. Thank you!!

Our three-generation family of 6 had a wonderful time. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the birds and boats on the bay, paddling and ping pong, games and movies, clamming and shell searching, walking and biking to Roche Harbor, driving the Island with stops at Westcott Oyster Farm and English Camp and Friday Harbor. The only disappointment was the stress getting to the ferry and then the launch delays. Best to plan ahead with plenty of time between ferry ride and air flights from Seattle. Thank you for a lovely time. We would love to return for another Getaway on the Bay!

This was for spring break. We had a great time. the house was lovely. The only challenge was the upstairs bathroom outlet didn't work. It was a bit chilly so we didn't take advantage of the outdoor area.

We truly enjoyed our time at this gem of a rental house. We explored several islands and the Skagit valley tulip festival using this home as our home base for a group of 9 including 3 kids under 10. We were worried we wouldn't be able to use the kayaks since it is early April in the PNW, but we got out on the water several times thanks to the well stocked garage of outdoor gear. The highlight was when we paddled across the harbor to get oysters at the shellfish farm and were followed by a group of seals.

The property is in a perfect location and very comfortable. I stayed with my 3 grown children and 2 of their spouses (all 30 year olds). They kayaked, canoed, and biked. We walked to Roche Harbor daily through the wooded paths. (Not much is open in Roche harbor during this time of year but Friday harbor had lots of restaurants and shops open). The view from the house is pretty awesome, the owners very responsive, lots of towels and linens, cozy fireplace, great appliances— I would definitely recommend the house.

Our group of 10 (family & friends) had a lovely time at this rental. We were in town for a family member’s wedding in Friday Harbor, so we decided to make a weeklong stay of it. The house is a scenic 20 minute drive from the ferry terminal, and minutes away from downtown Roche Harbor.
It is situated on a small hillside which affords stunning water views! The switchback trail to the water and dock were easily manageable, and we loved having access to the kayaks. Exploring Westcott bay on kayaks was one of my favorite things about the island. We saw seals, otters, raccoons, and deer right by the property. The gravel driveway is a bit steep, but our cars managed just fine.
The downstairs felt nice and open, great for entertaining a bigger group like us. The upstairs felt more crowded with a tight bathroom and shower area, but they definitely made great use of the square footage overall.
We really loved the fact that the kitchen was so well stocked with dishes and cups! They even had a good assortment of spices on hand. Additionally, they had a great amount of towels and bedding, which we also appreciated.
Sadly, we didn’t get a chance to use the bikes that they provide, but it was very cool that they were there as an option.
My favorite thing about this property was the amazing, spacious deck perfect for entertaining! I would find myself just gazing out over the bay with coffee in hand all throughout the day.
Thank you for a nice stay! We had a fun time!

This home is beautiful and well equipped. The location is one you can’t beat. Looking at Weatcott Bay is stunning. We enjoyed kayaking, going on walks, sipping coffee on the deck and exploring Roche and Friday Harbor. We can’t wait to return!

The house is well-equipped for family fun and offers beautiful views of the bay. The kids loved the bunk room and game room (in the garage) and we had fun kayaking to an oyster farm restaurant. Having boots on hand to explore for shells when the tide is out thrilled the kids. There are great trails to explore in the area.
The house is super comfortable. Bonus: games and books for kids of all ages. We appreciated the bird and field guides.
If streaming is important to you or your kids, this part of the island may not be for you.
We would gladly stay again!

Our family of 7 (3 generations) enjoyed the stay immensely, principally because this home was over-the-top equipped to handle each whim: cook ( I mean really cook) , bike/kick scooter around, comb the beach, stay in for games/puzzles/pingpong, get wet with water guns or explore in the kayaks. Each bedroom had a floor fan, which were ON during a heat spell. Hosts quickly answered emails with our miscellaneous questions. A very complete orientation-to-the-area notebook is in the kitchen.

Three generations in our party (aged 11-90). Well equipped withe bikes, kayaks, ping pong table, outdoor fire pit. We used them all. Great view of the water and the dock made it very easy to swim. Would love to come back next year.

Perfect! Owners are professionals. Everything was detail perfection in every way from cleanness to making things feel like it was your place. I’ve never seen my bird dogs so relaxed and behaved. They loved it. The owners restored this place several years back. I know because I rented the house next store 3 yrs ago. This family really did a great job with updating the property with detail and personal touches that make it special and guaranteed memories. I’m a award winning builder in the state of Washington . I know. San Juan islands are still one of our favorite places to chill . Thank you for allowing us to stay at your awesome place!! Peter Ms Barbara and the Brittany’s . They never barked
