The home was charming and comfortable. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked. The bath tub was a treat and there was plenty of hot water to take a nice bath. We had a lovely stay and look forward to coming again. It was nice to be right across from the beach. The only thing that would have been nice to have is a hand held shower head. The check in and out times were not very generous - 10 am and 4 pm Host communication could have been more helpful. I stated I couldn’t find check out instructions and they replied it’s on a laminated sheet in the house. :/

We really enjoyed the spacious clean house. The bathroom is like a spa with a shower & very large tub with jets. It has a well stocked kitchen, soft beds with a washer & dryer. Draw back for me was, not very many curtains. The ones they had did not provide privacy.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had never rented a vacation house before. Had some misgivings, would it be a fairy tale or a horror story. It was a dream come true. The house was eclectic, close to nature and a sit down dinner. Saw my first bald eagle (53 year wait). The San Juans were beautiful.

Great location, needs updating

Excellent location and very quiet. The house has not been updated at all and is straight out of the early 80s. Persistent smell of mothballs. Terrible pots/pans considering the price per night. We won’t be returning to this house but definitely will return to the beach.

Perfect location for a family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Easy walking distance from a beach (county park). We were able to quickly drive to a number of different beaches to launch our kayaks, hike, or just hang out on the beach. We enjoyed it so much more than staying in the congested Friday Harbor area, although, Friday Harbor is a wonderful place to visit, shop, dine, and watch people. The house was well equipped, clean, and comfortable, and we especially enjoyed our frequent visits from different foxes.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location! Perfect sized property for a couple or family. Very comfortable house. Would be nice to have a 2nd footstool in living room. 2nd bedroom blinds need repair. Master bedroom would benefit from blinds or black out curtains. Bathroom faucets turn in different directions. Would be nice to have a couple of folding chairs. A deeper cleaning of dust/dirt on surfaces and under furniture is needed.

Nice and quiet location, but very old bathroom/shower

The house was clean and spacious, with everything you need inside - kitchen fully equipped with a lot of utensils, outdoor patio table and chairs, not issues with the running hot water. The bad: (1) the shower leaks water outside, and it is not very comfortable to use and (2) there is not propane grill, only a charcoal grill, and with the fire restrictions on the island you cannot grill! Also AT&T and T-Mobile signal is on and off around the property area, but there is internet (which was down for one day) and a smart TV easy to use.

Nice but dated

It’s a nice place, quiet and lovely area. Well equipped kitchen to make dinners etc. Beds are comfortable. The hosts even let our small (crated) dog come with us last minute as our dog sitter got sick. The beach across the way is amazing!! The musty smell is unwelcome for allergy sufferers. We had an issue with a fire alarm going off and that could be remedied by changing batteries more often, since it’s a vrbo. The handle in the shower is a rusted wrench that makes it seem the vrbo is not well maintained. Lastly, the ratings are deceptively high, there is the same 4 star rating listed over and over when this listing is a 2 star hotel at best.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was not a place I felt comfortable. The windows in the livingroom made me feel as though I was being watched. The windows in the bedroom only had sheer curtains on them and you could see in so I put towels over them. I think this house is in need of a lot of updating. It has a wonderful location and view. Just a little too old and not very cozy or comfortable.

Great setting, location, trails nearby. Excellent!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our party of 4 adults very much enjoyed this 2bedroom 1large bath home. The home was very clean, ( aside from the windows) nice towel/linens, kitchenware needed updating but appliance options good. Heating was good. Spacious seating in living room. The Island struggles with hard water...leaving the coffee maker to fail but the property mtg came with a new pot in less than 39 mins of our call to them! Nice! One large Bedroom has a king bed and large sitting area. A second bedroom is small and has a queen bed. Tight fit. I would recommend 2 twin xl beds to serve together as a king or separately for 2 adults not partners. Overall it’s a quiet, peaceful location close to the beach, a lovely trails for lots of views a scenic opportunity.

Wonderful stay in Eagle Cove

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of four had a wonderful stay at Eagle Cove Lookout. The house was comfortable, clean and we loved the location. We also enjoyed the fireplaces, walk around porch and huge yard. Walks down to the beach were an easy out the door adventure. Playing in the sand and searching for treasure among the rocks & driftwood kept our young boys entertained for hours.We were so glad we brought our bikes, the National Park is right around the corner and that was our favorite day trip of many. You can ride from the house to the park and then take a hike with amazing views from there, super fun, pack a picnic.We'll keep this house on our short list of places to return for sure. Thanks!
