Spent the Thanksgiving week at this property as a family of 4 (+ our small dog) and had a wonderful stay. Communication was easy, property was well-kept, and most importantly the property was functional. The big living space/open kitchen made it the perfect family vacation space.
5 stars, hope to visit again!

We had a great time staying at this home. It was exactly as advertised, even better, honestly. Clean, quiet, with incredible water views and access, and an awesome deck to hang out on and relax. We liked that the location felt private and secluded but we could walk to Roche Harbor and the sculpture garden (well worth the visit!). Karen, the host, was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. I highly recommend this home - it is the perfect set up for enjoying everything San Juan Island has to offer!

We so enjoyed the big windows looking out at the trees and water. There were 4 of us and we were very comfortable with the bedrooms and two bathrooms. Owner was on top of a slight plumbing issue. We would come again! Beautiful place!

This was a great place to stay for our 20 year wedding anniversary. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Roche Harbor but close enough to enjoy the resort if we wanted. The home is very spacious and the views were amazing. I would definitely stay there again.

Lovely home, with gorgeous views of the water. Our daughter had fun looking all the sea life down by the dock, and had a great time playing with all the toys and games in the house. It’s about a 20 minute drive from Friday Harbor, but felt pretty centrally located regardless—easy access to Roche Harbor, about 20 minutes from Lime Kiln State Park, etc. We loved our time here!

This is everything go be could ask for, for a quiet lodging with water views. From the house or dock we says otters and seals, many waterfowl and across the bay herds of fallow deer. San Juan is a wonderful island to explore and this was a nice place for home base.

This was a great place to stay with an outstanding view located in a great area. The neighbors houses are far enough away and hidden by vegetation that it felt like we had the area to ourselves. The house was really well stocked with supplies and considerate amenities and our host was very responsive throughout the initial booking and at check out. The house and the beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed being able to get down to the water on the dock or to the beach at low tide. We enjoyed Roche Harbor, Friday Harbor and a bunch of other spots around the island. We went to Orcas Island for a day as well. The WA State Ferries are easy to use and extremely efficient. All in all a great vacation in a fabulous house in a beautiful setting. Thanks for your hospitality

We had a girls' getaway for a 4-day weekend at Karen's gorgeous home in Roche Harbor. The home was spotless, extremely well stocked with kitchen and other needs. Check in was very easy and there was even a personalized welcome sign on the door. The location can't be beat - it feels like being in the middle of a forest but right on the water. We didn't have a boat, but it would be amazing to motor up and dock there and walk up to the house. It was a perfect place for us, we couldn't have had a better time, I have already told my family we have to schedule our next gathering there.

We had an amazing time... the cabin fit all of our needs. It was well stocked and cleaned. We also brought our boat and was so great having a dock and mooring buoy in a quite bay. Look forward to returning!

This house is in a beautiful place in Roche Harbor. Close enough to the resort to enjoy, but far enough away to enjoy privacy. We were in Roche for a wedding at the resort. We had friends staying at the resort and they complained of the noises from early morning trucks, partiers, etc. We had none of that! The description / pictures of the house are very accurate. Communication with Karen was awesome. We would stay here again.

This home was well maintained. The beds were comfortable. The view was amazing. Great area for walking. Close to Roche Harbor. It was fun to hear the flag ceremony at Roche Harbor nightly. Great stay, we will return again some day.

My family and I had a lovely stay in this house. There's a great view, out the front of the house, of a small inlet below. My two year old daughter enjoyed watching the boats sailing by while we sat at the dinning table enjoying a meal. We stayed over the last week of July, when there was a heat wave over Seattle, but were pleasantly surprised to discover the house has air conditioning. On the final day we packed in a rush and forgot a charging cable in the kitchen. However, the host was very kind and sent the charging cable to our address.

Being the only boater renter of this property I had to do battle with the resident otter leavings on the stair landing every morning, other than that it was good.

Fantastic location and view!
Our family of 4, and our dog, had a wonderful vacation here. Rooms were spacious. Impeccably cleaned and well stocked.

We can't wait to return!

Superb location
Our family from Australia thoroughly enjoyed this home. Karen was very much engaged and responsive if needed.
The mooring ball and dock were bonuses.
Views, walks and nice quiet surroundings were all amazing.
We’ll be back!

Lovely home on the San Juan Islands
This was a perfect getaway for our family. Right on the water with a gorgeous view, secluded, but still easy access to the town and amenities. Check in process was very easy. Highly recommend.

Great spot!
This is a big spot with beautiful, peaceful views of the water near Roche Harbor. It was clean and tidy. We really enjoyed our stay. One note is that the cleaning instructions are quite unclear, and part of our security deposit was withheld as a result of the ambiguity, so I recommend you clarify the requirements directly with the property manager instead of relying on the property's handbook.

Great waterfront property
Great waterfront property in a secluded area on the island, a little more than a mile away from Roche Harbor

Great stay in beautiful location
My family of 5 and our dogs had a wonderful time! Lots of space for us to spread out, and just an amazing view through the giant windows. The location is close to Roche Harbor and only a 15 minute drive to Friday Harbor - nice and peaceful in the woods, but easy to get to amenities if needed. Definitely recommend this home for a relaxing time on San Juan Island. For anyone bringing dogs, just a note that upon arrival, the instructions state that dogs are not to be left unattended.
