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

This house was a true gem, right on the water with beach access and a tiny island you can walk to when the tide is out. The view was amazing and so relaxing. The house was roomy and tastefully decorated. We were a group of 4 old friends in our late 60’s and the house worked beautifully for us. One bedroom with master bath on the ground floor that worked so nicely for our friend using a walker. The kitchen was well stocked as we prefer to do all of our own cooking. We had a minor issue with the log in to the internet and the owners responded immediately and sorted it. I would love to return to this house in the future. I stay in a lot of vacation rentals and this is one of my very favorite. Highly recommend this lovely home on the water.
