Waterfront! Hot Tub! Dog Friendly! "The Space Between". Waterfront location on the northwest side of San Juan Island with hot tub that overlooks Mosquito Pass. Enjoy watching the boat traffic and views of Henry Island from the spacious deck with access from the living room.
This cozy and eclectic 3-bedroom home comfortably sleeps 8 guests and includes one king bed, 1 full bed, 1 queen bed downstairs, and a sleeper sofa that pulls out into a double-sized bed if the kids need more space. Relax in the living room with cozy seating and enjoy the Smart TV or on the deck barbecuing or hot tubbing. (The fireplace is not for guest-use for safety reasons.) There are stairs to the mid bank waterfront to allow for quick access and enjoyment.
Soak in what the sea and sky have to reveal when coolin' your heels out on the deck with coffee or tea in hand. In Summer, Gray and Humpback whales are swinging by from Mexico, and turkey vultures fly in from as far away as Panama- but you can have an easier go of it, and even make it nearly carbon-free in your electric vehicle (Charge-up for free on site). In Winter, scan the water or listen for two types of sea lions, loons, or migratory Eagles.
The Wi-Fi has recently been upgraded to allow for multiple zoom meetings at once, and the distance from the contemporary hustle and bustle is getting smaller all the time. However: If your goal is to embrace the convergence of the wilderness and earthly comforts, all manner of seafaring along with intermittent but absolute silence, or a heavenly sunset by the firepit (firepit available in the off-season) while you still count yourself among the living, come and sit awhile.
This house does not have good cell phone reception, but the internet at this property will allow sufficient service for Wi-fi calling from your personal cell.

Booked an off-season getaway and had a very pleasant experience. Really enjoyed being able to slow down and watch the winter rain roll in over the water. The property was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, and the property management company was nicely responsive. Would highly recommend!

Thank you for such a lovely review. We are glad your experience was so pleasant!
The most incredible view we loved it. Couple things I would suggest maybe stock salt and pepper so your guests don’t have to go back in town and we were wondered about the lock on the deck door. I guess I should say there is no lock on on the deck door. And the fire alarm went off all in all we had a wonderful time
Beautiful view! Peaceful and quiet. Very relaxing. Plenty of kitchen amenities. Fun and interesting chairs to sit it. A fooseball table! Appreciated all the paper products available for use, such as toilet paper and paper towels. Thank you!
Clean, roomy, great view, easy drive to Roche Harbor or Friday Harbor.Big drawback: hot tub stopped working after 10 minutes of use, and needed parts that would not arrive until after our visit was over. Rental agency was responsive when I called.
We loved being in a quiet spot with beautiful views and enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub.

Reviewer Comments:
A little dated but very clean and with lots of room. The view of the Bay was spectacular even though we were not lucky enough to see any whales. A deer graced us with her presence the first morning. Bring your own hairdryer.
We had a wonderful experience. There was plenty of room for just two of us. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and spices. The hot tub area was improved and updated from the pictures. So that was nice. We would stay here again.
The hot tub wasnin an overgrown edge of the property and not convertible or easy to use kind of awkward and not as pictured.. The big one for us was there are pictures of outdoor snd indoor fire pits and places... none are operational and blocked off this was never disclosed.. making it feel as though we we could not use the property as advertised ! I would have definitely chosen a different property if it was advertised honestly!
We loved staying here. It was exactly as it looked in the pictures, especially the view! We loved relaxing on the back deck and we even had a little sea otter friend who visited our beach every day. Close enough to town to get there easily but far enough away that we felt like we were in our own private sanctuary. Would definitely stay here again!
The house was amazing! My family of four had a wonderful spring break on the island. We had busy days and coming back to the house with a hot tub and a place to have a fire outside was so nice. You seriously can’t beat the views either. We would totally stay again. Also, my family is still talking about how comfortable the beds were.

We had a lovely holiday in this cozy island retreat. Very clean home with comfortable beds throughout. We enjoyed watching the storm, and luckily did not lose power. Bring your flashlights just in case if you're visiting during storm season.

We are glad you enjoyed your time at The Space Between, and got to witness the great windstorm on San Juan Island! All our rental homes are equipped with flashlights in case the power goes out.
The house location and views are outstanding. There was a surplus of cooking utensils, dishware, appliances, and bedding. The check in process was super easy and clear. One suggestion would be to have coffee on hand. Overall such a great stay, thank you very much!
The view was exceptional! Besides all the boats we saw whales, deer, otters and seals. The sunsets were beautiful. We loved our time on the deck.
It's true that house is a little tired and the kitchen is dated, but that did not really distract from our stay. The house was very clean and well stocked, and the hot tub very well maintained. We have stayed in many rentals and would rate this one very high.

Amazing week here! We enjoyed every minute of our quiet, beautiful time here on the island. This place offers amazing views, and everything you should need for your family to enjoy some time away!
What a stunning view and hot tub! The house was comfortable and felt homey. This isn’t a pristine home or property, which didn’t bother us but felt different than the listing a bit. It feels like a cozy, well-loved gma-like cabin with comfortable furniture and also a bit of deferred maintenance in places. Overall, you can’t beat this view and the hot tub was perfect (though the approach and path was a bit precarious). Enjoyed our stay and hot tub experience!

The location and view from this home are spectacular and certainly sought-after. We are taking your notes into consideration. We are glad your time was well-spent at this home!
Property location was fantastic - great views and outdoor spaces to enjoy those views. Well-stocked, but many plates, dishes, etc. needed an additional rinse or cleaning before use. Grill was unusable -- didn't seem like it was cleaned after the last guests, so critters and bugs had settled in and the grates were beyond caked. Otherwise, a quirky property with lots of space and views to die for!

Thanks so much for staying at The Space Between Jen! I'm glad you enjoyed the views, outdoor space, and "quirky-ness"! We definitely pride ourselves on the mid-century, school-themed, quirky decor : )
I have notified the cleaning team of the BBQ and the state of the dishes, and I will be checking back with them on their progress.
Thanks again for staying,
Joe
