Excellent location, nice house, proper amenities. Only negative were that mattress were a little too firm for my old man back. 7 stars out of 10.

The pictures online make this place look pretty dark and dingy, but it’s actually quite bright, has great views from the bedrooms, and is much closer to the beach than expected! However, the beds are terrible in every room, and everyone from the youngest person (14) to our oldest (75) complained about waking up with back pain. I actually had to move from the twin bedroom in BR3 to the couch because the springs were digging into my body.

This house has everything a multi-generational family on vacation would want. The amenities in this home are incredible: * Kitchen has everything and then some. You can cook anything with confidence that the proper tools or plates will be there. * Lots of fun board games to pick from. We played Scattergories and laughed so much. * There are kayaks to launch practically right off the back deck. Wescott Bay is tranquil and simply gorgeous. * There are bikes in the shed * There are black welly-type boots to wear if you want to explore the Bay at low tide. The deck overlooks the Wescott Bay with stunning views and ample wildlife to view.

As other reviews have mentioned, some aspects are shabby and worn and could use replacing - kids mattresses in the numb bed room, kitchen cabinets, living room furniture. For us the experience was really marred by the creatures in the area…the night before we got there, raccoons had gotten into the trash and made a mess. Then our first night, they actually ripped open a screen window, came into the kitchen, and demolished a loaf of bread! Furthermore, the neighbor next door has a big, red Macaw parrot that makes the most unholy screeching noises VERY loudly, so if you’re trying to enjoy time outdoors beware. Also, while we were there one of the (old) toilet handles broke and I had to go to the hardware store and get a replacement part and fix it myself so that we were not down to 1 toilet with 4 people over the holiday weekend. I sent pictures and a receipt but the property manager seems to have ghosted me instead of reimbursing - and frankly, sparing them a handyman call and cost should get some thanks!

Easy location walking distance to Roche Harbor. The house was bigger than the picture. A bit dated and worn but it does the trick. Bring eye masks for summer as the light starts streaming in around 4:30am. Kids had a great time playing around the dock. Idyllic location!

The house is very comfortable and the property location amazing! Our family of 5 adults and a 2 yr old had a wonderful time exploring the island. Very quiet and relaxing. Kathy was quick to respond to a question. There isn't a door on the upstairs bedroom but there is a baby gate. Fun weekend!!

Glad we stayed here

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Walking into the house the first night, we had a spectacular view of the full moon over the bay through the picture window. The house was very comfortable and was exactly as described. I would love to stay here again.

We could not have selected a better property for time with our kids and grandkids. House completely stocked with not only living essentials but also kayaks, bikes, and essentials for clamming which our grand girls did for hours. Easy 10 minute walk to Roche Harbor resort facilities and easy 15 minute drive to Friday Harbor. Kathy was especially helpful and immediately available solving a couple of minor normal problems that arose. Right on the water, absolutely beautiful views. We highly recommend!

We had a delightful stay in this comfortable home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook a few meals. The views are stunning. We used the on-site kayaks every evening to explore the peaceful bay and meet the resident harbor seal. It’s a cozy, homey spot our family loved.

It is a beautiful place to stay.

The photos do not do this property justice! We just wish we were able to stay longer.

Overall it was a lovely home with beautiful views and good proximity to many things. It was nice to be away from the touristy area of Friday Harbor but still close by. Its important to note there is no door on the master bedroom and a large window which sends in lots of morning light. Also the property is listed as having 2 parking spaces but only comes with one due to a small cabin on the same property.

We had a fabulous time clamming, kayaking and bird watching. It was a short walk to the sculpture park and Roach Harbor. House was comfortable and my three kid fit in kids room 5, 7 and 10. Plenty of games and DVDs to chill after a day of exploration and playing at the beach.

The property is walking distance to Roche Harbor. It came with kayaks and is right on the bay so we went kayaking, it came with lots of games, the kitchen was fully stocked. Great place to spend time with friends and family.

This is our second stay at this lovely home with our 2 children. We love the space, well stocked kitchen (we prepared a full thanksgiving dinner here!) and the bay is so calm even as we enter the winter months. We even able to use the row boat to try our hand at crabbing! The sculpture garden is just around the corner and a hit for the whole family! We have loved our time here and will plan to stay again in the summer!

Gorgeous views from most rooms. However, did not know how 9 people could find a place to sleep. Beautiful king master upstairs, but downstairs only 3 single bunk beds and one double bed, which was too small for my 6 foot 4 husband,and me to share. So we slept in different rooms and we made it work. Loved the peace,the view, and the deck!

Great location and space, beautiful views and awesome proximity to Roche Harbor.

Wonderful spot for an extended family gathering with a warm, welcoming feel to the house that was well equipped for a group. Well stocked kitchen for cooking.

Beautiful location for a whale watching trip and long weekend getaway. Our VRBO home and owners were wonderful- very responsive, very accommodating. The home was super comfy, and the kitchen well appointed. We had use of bikes, kayaks, and clam digging equipment had we had time for all such adventures. 5 stars!

Amazing property and Kathy was very helpful !

Some Gripes" Front door access difficult

This property has an amazing view, but I don't recommend this for 4 adults traveling together. The "room" with a king bed is actually a loft. There is no door to the loft and therefore no privacy. There are also no curtains on the main window for the king loft. This means that the owner, who's house is right next door, can look right into the room. The owner doesn't always live there, but she happened to be there when we were. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs, a children's room and a room with a full bed. The property manager misinformed us that it was a queen bed, but it is definitely a full, which is 5 inches shorter and 6 inches narrower than a queen and doesn't work for my 6' 2 husband. The hot water tank is also small and runs out quickly. For just a couple, this house would probably be great, but it didn't work for us, 4 adults and 2 kids.

Roche Harbor is a fun little town and it was nice to have a place to stay within walking distance and on the water.

The property manager Kathy was excellent to deal with . Very quick getting back to us with any questions .

Location is ideal- so very tranquil overlooking the bay. Being so close to Roche was an added bonus. Kathy responded quickly and was easy to work with. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend and I hope to stay again soon!

Fun time with family - we had everything we needed. Thank you

This is our third year coming to the house! We love it. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

This property was in a gorgeous setting overlooking Westcott Bay and within walking distance of Roche Harbor. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you might need to cook a gourmet meal, even spices! We found the front door lock a bit “sticky” but figured it out eventually. Everything was comfortable and welcoming except for the beds in the two downstairs bedrooms. Mattresses need to be replaced. We enjoyed playing with all the “toys” except for one of the kayaks, which had a whole in it. Thank you, Kathy for sharing your beautiful home!

The location of the property was excellent. Walkable distance to Roche Harbor. Lovely view from the house of Westcott Bay. The kitchen was very well supplied with everything you would need for cooking. We were not in the house very much during the day. It has a nice yard , bicycles and kayaks that can be used as well as yard games in the outdoor shed. We would stay there again.

Had a great time for a few days resting with my family. Roche harbor was within walking distance, and about a 15 minute drive away from Friday harbor. Beach combing was fun as there is waterfront access, kayaks were a great addition, although it is a bit of a haul to get them up and down the hill to and from the beach. View from the living room was great with lots of wildlife coming popping up on the water. Just a perfect little spot if you want to be near a resort, but have the feel of a house. Would definitely recommend.

Location is really great, beachfront property. Bedrooms are nice especially the master bedroom. Kitchen wasn’t well cleaned, 2 power outlets didn’t work. First day of our day the fridge died and we had to use the small fridge in cabin next door cause it couldn’t be fixed. Rental info says that that there are 2 bikes and kayaks. The bikes weren’t at the property and the kayaks were not useable.
