Great stay. We were there fur orca watching and we had a great experience. The best part was sitting in The Adirondack Chair in the morning and watching the seals swim at low tired.
Great trip with family. Visiting family sailing in the area.

Great location!! It was a wonderful place for the 4 adults we had and very peaceful
This was a lovely, isolated space with lots of space in a calm and pleasant neighborhood. The kitchen is fully equipped and the deck has a ton of room. There are plenty of places to relax and enjoy the natural beauty.
Everything great except checkin at 4:00 is VERY LATE

We are glad you enjoyed your time at this lovely waterfront home. It would be good to note that a 4 pm check in time is standard for homes of this size, however, we were able to accommodate a 2:30 PM check-in time on this check-in date. We try our very best to allow guests to check-in to homes as soon as they are deemed ‘renter-ready’, after our cleaning staff has completed and the property manager performs a final walk-through.
we boated in - lovely bay. Buoy is a bit of a hike from the house and big uphill climb over rocks and steep stairs to unload your belongings.
great views from house, clean, nice walking neighborhood in the area.
My husband, son, and I had a wonderful time while staying in your beautiful home. I had coffee at the metal table and chairs every morning and took many sun rise pictures. We had difficulty with the WiFi to connect to our home town football game (Go Steelers!) until we switched to the 5G and he was finally able to watch the game without losing connection on my IPad. Then we lost the game. Thank you again and I hope to stay again soon!
Great experience in a comfortable, clean home. All was expected with an abundance for conveniences . As a rare VRBO user we didn’t know to bring our own shampoo / conditioner. Perhaps something to add to the precheck in instructions? Otherwise a really great stay - complete with ? sea lions / seals ? playing in the harbor outside our window!

Reviewer Comments:
The house and location near roche were perfect for our stay on the island. It is such a beautiful location and true serenity. With 2 suites, the place is ideal for 2 couples. Only downside is the 4pm check in and 10am check out. I understand that cleaning and services in the island can be a challenge,but they should really give a discount given that you are losing basically a whole 1/2 day with the check in and out times.

We had a wonderful stay at Davison Head Cove. The home is lovely and nicely stocked with essentials and the weather was just perfect for us! We even had a visit from a pair of seals in the cove.My only suggestions would be to add a little more/brighter lighting to the bedrooms.

We had a lovely stay in your beautiful home. We were traveling with two adult children and a grand baby, so we loved the beautiful windows that let the outdoors come in, even when we were housebound with a napping baby! The kitchen is beautifully equipped and the home is exceptionally comfortable. This was our first trip to San Juan Island and I feel like we were lucky to stay outside of the ferry area in Friday Harbor. The Roche Harbor area is so lovely and much quieter! We will definitely return and hope to stay with you again.
