About this property

Nantucket Style w/ peak-a-boo view (KBC)

Nantucket Style with peak-a-boo water view.
This newly listed 2 bedroom (plus extra half- room w/ Queen bed), 2.5 bathroom house located close to Kanaka Bay is a perfect getaway to relax and rejuvenate on San Juan Island.

This charming house features a fully stocked kitchen, two outdoor decks and a 0.25-acre lawn. A gas BBQ is available to cook Westcott Bay oysters while watching the sunset from this west-facing house. Enjoy the lovely view with your morning cup of coffee and enjoy the view from the private primary bedroom porch.

The living room offers a simple and cozy arrangement to relax together after a day of exploring! An array of books is provided, or the comfortable seating is perfect to curl up as a family with a movie.

The layout of the two bedrooms upstairs makes it feel as though there are two primaries with separate bathrooms attached. This makes it ideal for two couples with a possible younger traveler as well. The top of the landing opens up to a small office area, and just past that is the half-room with a Queen bed. (Privacy offered with a curtain partition.) The primary Queen bedroom with en-suite bath is to your right, while the other primary King bedroom with en suite bath is to your left. Both offer beautiful views through the picture windows.

This home is perfectly situated down a very private road just a few miles from downtown Friday Harbor. The rest of this 1.5 acre property is covered with lush, naturally growing vegetation, which adds to the feeling of privacy. Bring your bikes to travel from the property out to the famous Westside Preserve and Lime Kiln Lighthouse, which is a great spot for a sunset cocktail with a chance of seeing some whales, porpoise, Harbor Seals, sea lions and bald eagles!!

This is a Non-Smoking property.

Please be advised, yard maintenance may occur during your stay.

Great House, Area, and Stay!

We had a wonderful stay here! The house was impeccably clean and comfortable, and the area was private and quiet. While the yard looks quite a bit bigger in the listing photos than it actually is, there was still plenty of space for my daughter to run around. There was some pretty serious roadwork being done so it took a little longer to get to/from Friday Harbor, but without that it would have been a quick drive. We didn't need to contact the property manager, but they proactively contacted us to let us know we could check-in early. You can tell they pay attention to detail, as they even supplied two propane tanks for the grill. I would stay here again and highly recommend that you do as well!

San Juan Island

My sister and our husbands had a wonderful vacation in the Kanaka Bay Cottage. The location was perfect - 15 minutes from everything we wanted to explore and in 5 days we did and saw everything that we had hoped to. The house was absolutely charming and immaculate. It was so cozy and comfortable. We would stay again and recommend it to anyone. Thank you for a great vacation!

Beautiful getaway to a Beautiful place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a great stay here, it's a big spacious home and everything was clean. With young kids and being light quite late we would recommend some blinds or blackout curtains for at least one of the bedrooms. We were awoken one night by a mouse or rat running in the walls but other than that it was a great place!

Nice location surrounded with wild flowers.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a very enjoyable long weekend at Kanaka Bay Cottage. It's about a 15min drive to the countryside from the busy Friday Harbor and a very nice secluded location. There are plenty of wild flowers all around the house, something we really enjoyed. This is an ideal place to relax and unwind. The house was very clean and had pretty much everything we needed for our stay.

Great house with well-stocked kitchen, comfortable rooms and nice back yard for game playing. The location was great, but a little far down a dirt road, other than that, perfect weekend getaway!

The property is secluded and surrounded by greenery with plenty of windows to bring in the natural light and enjoy the scenery. The house was very clean and well stocked and the beds were comfortable (supportive and soft!). An outdoor hammock would have been incredible to enjoy the sun, breeze, and gentle sounds of nature here.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was large, clean, and beautifully decorated. We had a group of 4 and it was more than enough - large beds, many seating areas, more than enough restrooms, and nice touches like games and books (note you cannot use the fireplace). It is a short drive to Lime Kiln park, and I appreciated the privacy and serenity of the area.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful week at Kanaka Bay Cottage with our 20-something kids. It's a great launching spot to explore the islands...down a winding road, quiet and private. Clean, good location, nicely appointed. Only drawback - the water view is pretty small and from the second floor (stated in listing). Overall we recommend this house!

Beautiful home with beautiful views from upper deck.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First time to San Juan Island! It is so beautiful. The home was very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed except coffee. It would be nice to have for first morning to enjoy the outside decks. It was a little off the beaten path but not knowing the island we weren’t sure if it’s location to everything. Still a great stay. The owners take very good care of the property.

Beautiful Remote Vacation house

Great house to stay at with family. Private lush backyard, great for running around and sitting on deck in the sunshine. Fully stocked kitchen with olive oil and spices, every utensil you could need. Perfect space for family with two bedrooms with en suites, and then an alcove with full bed, nearby where my daughter slept. The only thing was no window coverings in alcove and only light filtering shades in bedrooms, so if you’re used to blackout shades, you or your children might be awake at the crack of dawn. :-D Ideal location- 15 mins from Friday harbor, 15 mins from Lime kiln, where we attended a wedding, and maybe 20 mins to roche harbor.

Wedding Weekend

We had a nice stay with family, as it’s always good to be with family. The property was cute and quiet towards the end of a very long (couple mile) dirt road.I’ve never left a drab review for a vacation stay as I’ve been in real estate for 30 years and understand that homes come with unique characteristics. But this property was a bit pricey with a 500 host fee so I felt that it should have been a bit nicer. The property listing featured a king bed. However the king bed was not a king, but two twins pushed together, and our feet hung off the end which made for less than comfortable rest.The fan for the stove didn’t work so when we cooked we’d have to open doors to air out the home, which invited mosquitoes to join in. ;) Many of the blinds don’t function properly so when trying to open windows, it is a bit of a complexity that required two people.Then there was a note on the refrigerator and large bottles of water offered on the counter as hosts shared there was a problem with the water system/drinking water, which made us worried about the safety of the water. I feel if we would have known prior, we would have opted for another home.Also, prior to our stay, we reached out about the ability for a late check out since we were attending an evening wedding, The host offered no response. We went ahead and booked, and after our booking the 1 hour late departure was declined.We enjoyed our stay on Friday Harbor but would have chosen a different property to rent.

Reviewer Comments: I’m tempted to tell the world that this vacation rental is a horrid shack and infested with gremlins, just so that we never have trouble booking the house ourselves! In reality, this charming home is just perfect! Large, clean, well-thought out. We loved that the multiple porches allowed us to find or avoid the sun, depending on our moods. We can’t wait to go back and stay longer!
