A great get away and lovely place to stay. Our dog enjoyed it as much as we did! The view is spectacular and the home has everything you need.

Our family recently stayed at this property and couldn't have been happier. The property was fantastic and we really enjoyed beach adventures as well as ample hot tub time. The sunsets were gorgeous. We will almost certainly be back soon!

Our family with 2 kids loved the location and peaceful atmosphere. The kids loved catching crabs and watching seals in the bay. We could walk to Roche harbor. The property and house are as advertised and exactly what we wanted. I didn't realize there wasn’t cell service or wifi but it wasn’t a big deal since we were planning to unwind and you can drive or walk half a mile to get service. Would love to stat here again.

Beautiful view. Great family stay.

It was just as described. There was a little wear and tear but it is a vacation rental. It was perfect for us. We watched a bald eagle get its breakfast every morning and we were visited by dear in the evenings. Yes, there was ZERO WiFi but why do you need that in such a beautiful place. We brought books, games and made memories.

My husband and I were wanting a nice, quiet getaway with a beautiful view...we got it! This was a great home. The views were awesome! The home was very private and had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this vacation rental.

Enjoyed the stay in Wescott Bay. Seals off the shore eating oysters during the whole stay. Amazing property and views. We cleaned when we got there because it may have been swept/vacuumed, but man that place was dirty. We couldn't even use the grill. The grill grates were disgusting. Hot tub was nice. We cleaned for the next person so they don't have to. Under furniture was not cleaned. Would stay again because overall, we had a great time there and the property is beautiful.

The property was very beautiful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway.

We loved this small home and property! Very clean and comfortable. Beautiful setting and views. Loved the little beach.
Only complaint was that the sofa in living room was not a pull out bed so one of my sisters has to sleep on a couch.
It would also have been nice to have gotten a heads up on the three night of the power being shut off at 10pm. The first night we had to search for flashlight and missed the movie we had started.
Overall, it was a great place to live for a week on San
Juan Island and we definitely would recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at the Westcott Bay property. The view is breathtaking and the house was perfect for me and my spouse. We enjoyed all the little thoughtful touches and amenities that were available.
Like the listing said, wi-fi was very limited, we were never able to connect which was totally fine with us. If we needed to look anything up, the town of Roche Harbor was a super quick drive away.
Check in and check out were easy, the kitchen was well stocked, and the location was unbeatable. We would love to come back!

This is a nice house in a lovely location. It's definitely dog friendly and our mini aussie granddog loved the large lawn for chasing balls. Pay attention to the "no wifi" information. None. Zip. Nada. And we had trouble pulling anything in via our phones unless we walked out to the tip of the property over the beach. Four adults max out the space. There is a high chair if you are coming with an infant/toddler but beware the high banks with long falls to the beach below. Overall the furniture is comfortable although the living room chairs could stand to be updated because the cushions on the chairs are losing their vinyl covering badly. The location on Westcott Bay makes fresh oysters from the oyster farm across the bay a great treat. It is also near Roche Harbor with all the amenities to be found there. We took kayaks but it meant lowering them down a long wooden stairway to the beach and then pulling them back up at the end of our stay; not ideal but doable.

The house and property were perfect for our anniversary getaway. It was our first real vacation in four years and this house made it even better. It was a very romantic and peaceful environment. The view never gets old - day or night - and the windows make it even better, so you don't miss any of the beauty. The water access was great and the tree swing was fun. We cooked most nights simply to enjoy the peace and quiet and to start our evening hot tub routine even sooner. It was a great way to end the day, especially after our first time kayaking! Even though this property is on the other end of the island from the ferry, the island is small nothing was far away. But personally, I enjoyed the peace and views of Roche Harbor much more than Friday Harbor, and this property enhanced that even more. We rode our bikes to Roche Harbor, disc golfed at Roche Harbor Disc Golf Course, kayaked with Discovery Sea Kayaks, walked Friday Harbor, visited Pelindaba Lavender Farms, and drove the whole island to sightsee. It was the perfect mix of entertainment and relaxation. It was exactly what we needed and wanted. Even the ferry ride is beautiful and enjoyable! We talked about visiting San Juan for years and after the first day my husband said he wished we'd of went sooner! Hope to return soon.

Dirty hot tub, not clean, photos were not correct. Right before we went to the house the photos of the bedroom online were of 4 twin beds (bunk beds). We arrived and that was not so.We needed the 4 twin beds but instead we got a double bed and a twin. That didn't work for us so one of our boys had to sleep on the dirty couch in the living room. The sofa was very dirty under the cushions with food and used bandaids that I took photos of. The coffee maker barely worked. The utensils in the kitchen were minimal. They sent me a pdf of instruction and info on the house. At the time of booking and in the pdf it said "limited wifi" but there was zero wifi! When I told the office manager she insisted it said "no wifi" until I sent her the proof ! So we had no wifi for half of our stay. We texted (and the office person ignored us for over a day) that we needed the wifi so my husband could work. They got a new router. Then we were interrupted with wifi delivery and installations (while we were sick). 4 out of the 5 of us got sick from the hot tub which was extremely dirty. Office person said it was because the cleaner guy was on vacation! We were sick for days. Then we were interrupted with hot tub cleaner. Office lady always sounded annoyed with us on the phone. Sometimes didn't text us back at all and so far has not apologized for any of the issues but did message me to say that other guests didn't have a problem.

This place was beautiful, peaceful, and really...just perfect!
Everything worked just great, and we enjoyed the hot tub under the stars every night after marveling at the colors of the sunset over the bay.....

This Westcott bay home was a great rendezvous spot for us with family that was boating through the area. We enjoyed exploring the shoreline and near by harbors. All the windows made for great PNW views!

Beautiful cottage on the bay. Peaceful and quite but not far from everything. Well stocked kitchen and I loved that we could bring our 2 year old Aussie. They even had a bin with dog toys and towels!!! Loved the swing on the beach and very sturdy stairs to the private beach.
If you enjoy morning walks be sure to take a left out from the drive and walk along the beautiful bay.
Not far into the walk is SAN JUAN Distillery! Awesome! Tastings on the weekends.
Appreciated all the little " extras" the house provided. If you forgot something, no worries....the cottage probably has it! By far one of my favorite VRBO"s!!!! Did not want to leave this very special property. We will be back!

Thus was awesome place on the water. It was our first time to WA and wanted the most out of our stay. We got that for sure!

Our family enjoyed our stay. The three year old loved spending the mornings looking for "creatures" in the tide pools.

Quiet, peaceful, and serene. A perfect getaway from the city. A place to recharge your "batteries " and connect with nature!

This was the perfect stay for our family of 3! Home size, amenities, and location are exactly what we were looking for. Westcott Bay is our go-to location when we are on San Juan Island and I think we have found the house that we will come back to again and again.
5.0
So many great things to highlight! The home is clean and comfortable with so many windows for wonderful light and views. The grand yard leading to a private beach for tide pooling and a beach fire is amazing, we sat out at sunset and you really see so many critters in the evening! The private hot tub overlooking the water and the wood stove are great additions. We rode our bikes around a little bit which was so fun. This is a really special home and a special island, we will be back for sure!

My family had a great time. It's a quiet spot with a beautiful view and access to the water.
The photos and description are misleading. There are not 2 sets of bunk beds. There is one. Thinking each kid would have a bed to sleep on was wrong. Someone had to sleep on the couch! Very frustrating.
Second, there was not a play toy in the yard. There was nothing.
The hot tub was dirty and there were dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Ewww
Despite all of that it's a beautiful property.

Such a beautiful property. The water access can’t be beat! We loved the yard for running around with our dog. We loved being able to walk our boards down to the water so easily.

This little cabin is the perfect nature get away! Everything well appointed and as described. The lawn, private beach and view are breathtaking. The open living space allows for hours of peaceful reading, painting or viewing the water. We will definitely be back !

Everything was wonderful! Spent time in all the Islands. Saw the whales! Hiking adventures everywhere. The hot tub was perfect for the finale evening resting spot…

This was our second stay. It's our favorite VRBO on San Juan Island. The property grounds and views are amazing. The house is quaint but well equipped. The beds are comfortable and amenities are well-stocked. Lots of towels (including dog towels).
This isn't an observation of the house or host, more so an FYI for cell reception on the Island in that area of Roche Harbor in general: Verizon is pretty spotty but T-Mobile has full 5G. We were able to run a hot spot off my T-Mobile phone and had quick internet on all our devices, including streaming movies on our computer, so don't let the spotty internet description dissuade you from booking this spot.

We really enjoyed our stay. The views from the home and deck/hot tub are incredible and much more impressive than the pictures show. It's an older, smaller home, but worked out well for my husband and me. We did experience some issues with dirty dishes upon arrival (in cabinets) and an oven that wouldn't start. The kitchen is in need of some TLC. That aside, it was a real pleasant stay.

The pictures on this listing only provide a small glimpse of this gorgeous setting. Once you are there it is even better than the photos. The home itself is clean, adorable, cozy in size but it feels open and full of light with the large glass windows across the front portion overlooking the porch and water! But what makes this cozy cabin in Roche Harbor so magical is the location the home sits upon!! This property is jaw dropping - the sea view, the sunsets on the water each night, the open park like yard that beckons to a stairway with incredible private beach access; it’s all a person could ever want on San Juan!! We brought our own paddle boards and enjoyed the stunning bay! We saw sea otters and seals and birds and crabs! Our kids fished off the shoreline every morning and evening. It felt like a story book in a land where kids play free from the world of internet (the WiFi isn’t strong here, which is a blessing) and the kids immersed into imaginative play. We also brought our bikes and rode to the sculpture park and then down to the historic Roche Harbor town to get ice cream. Time moved a little slower out here and it was a gift to stay. Thank you!

Had a great time! The property is amazing and house was right size for our family of four. Looking forward to coming back!

This property is stunning, private beach was awesome and hot tub on deck was epic. The pictures don’t do it justice. The only feedback for future guests would be that we did have ants in the kids room, the bbq needed a lighter and we didn’t find any or matches in the house, also it did not have AC and we came in August so it was very hot inside. Our kids are young and we didn’t think to bring any kid friendly dvds so we visited a thrift store and bought some to donate for the next family to enjoy. All minor things really, the beds were comfortable and no internet was just what we needed to unplug. Thanks again!

This property location was great, but has been well loved by dogs more than people. Probably would not mind if you brought your own dog, but not ideal for those without pets.

My kids loved our stay. They had so much fun playing in the big stretch of land, picking seashells on the beach, and just exploring. Our dog loved have free rein of the place as well. Absolutely stunning location! The house itself is a little outdated. The mattresses on the bunk beds should probably get replaced. There was a dip on the mattress where I slept from years of use. That’s my only criticism. I didn’t get much sleep, but we spent the majority of the day outside. So it was well worth it for us!

Dreamiest Stay!
Beyond beautiful property! The location is perfect. My family loved everything -the private beach for nighttime bon fires, the tide pools, the jacuzzi looking over the water, playing football on the large grassy area, ocean views from the house. Thank you for having us! We can’t wait to return!!

This cottage was just what we needed to unwind for a long weekend. The view was beautiful and even better from the hot tub. We had a little snag on our trip and Angle was great to work with. If you are looking for a quiet and secluded cottage with a great view, look no further!
