About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Book your summer vacation now kayaks, bikes, crab pots great location.

Enjoy the beauty of nature from this tastefully appointed waterfront home on beautiful Westcott Bay. We are only a 5–10 minute walk from Roche Harbor Resort, with its marina, restaurants, shops, spa, tennis, swimming, sculpture garden, and more. But you may never want to leave, whether exploring the bay in one of our kayaks or just sitting on the deck enjoying the serenity of nature.

During your stay, you're likely to spot eagles and ospreys, harbor seals and otters, deer and foxes, and more. And at night, more stars than you can imagine. Relax and unwind, and give in to island time.

Enjoyed the house
Our family had a great time staying in the house. In addition to the Island activities, the kids went kayaking every day, dug for clams, played the board games in the house, watched movies, and enjoyed the view. The boots available to dig for clams were a very nice touch for the amenities. The stay was overwhelmingly positive, a couple negatives were the cottage next door was used while we were there and it was unclear if we were supposed to share the kayaks. Kathy assured us there wouldn’t be a problem and there wasn’t. The other negative for us was the hint of cat smell or old house smell. We have cat allergies and did not have any issues so it wasn’t a big deal, but concerned us at first.

Lovely stay
We loved the house’s proximity to Roche Harbor. We walked up to the general store and restaurants a few times, which was fun. I wish the water heater had more capacity, as we ran out of hot water after each shower. Overall, it’s a peaceful, relaxing place to stay!

.My friends and I wanted a quiet weekend in the San Juan Islands of Washington state. They had never been there. The Home is in a great location on a very quiet bay. The sea and animal life did not disappoint us. We were able to see sea otters playing, seals, blue herons that make the bay their home. Friday Harbor was just minutes away. We were a quick walk to Roche Harbor and restaurants. The home had a well appointed kitchen, nice bathrooms . They had all you needed to keep entertained and even beachcombing items if you needed them.

Great Time on San Juan Island
Great location; conveniently close to Roche Harbor (walks, pickleball). Had all the amenities needed at the house. Would suggest, if possible, trimming lower branches on trees for better view of the bay and replacing old light switches.

Clean, comfortable, and convenient
I've rented several houses near Roche Harbor over the years for my kids and grandkids to stay in while my husband and I are there on our boat. This was by far the nicest and most convenient. Very roomy, nice and clean, and the distance to Roche Harbor and the marina was an easy walk/bike ride. Kathy was very helpful and responsive when my kids arrived early and wanted to know if they could check in early. It was a great stay!

Much better than pictures, but terrible beds!
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.

Lovely home in an incredible location
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.

Lots of creatures
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!

A great spot
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!!

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.

Lovely Home
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.
