WESTSIDE Ocean View Vacation Home HOT TUB, available YEAR ROUND

WESTSIDE Ocean View Vacation Home HOT TUB, available YEAR ROUND.

Experience the Pacific Northwest - Island Style while staying in our lovely vacation home overlooking the Ocean to Vancouver Island B.C. Located on the west side of San Juan Island, this beautiful, privately located, romantic ocean view home was custom built with attention to the creative details. Relax every evening in your hot tub enjoying world class sunsets.

1,200 sf custom designed cedar sided cozy bungalow with a very efficient wood stove to enjoy when ambiance and warmth are the inspiration. Propane forced-air heat provided throughout home. Relax in our toasty outdoor hot tub and enjoy world famous sunsets on the Westside of San Juan Island.
Our Home includes 1 Master Bedroom with King bed, 1 Master Bath, Gourmet Kitchen, Dining, Lovely Living Room with memory mattress trundle bed that can be 2 twins. Separate alcove with twin cot. Wood stove heats the whole house or furnace heating. Separate laundry room.

The Home has wireless internet access and DISH satellite TV service & DVD Player and stereo player. 56' HD tv in living room.
Best of all is whale watching as this stretch of shoreline has been identified by a whale museum biologist as a feeding area for Orcas. Watch whales pass by from the deck as their PODS come within a few yards of shore, hunting salmon. Use the provided binoculars to see every detail.
There is plenty to do in the neighborhood with beach access at Snug Harbor Resort. Bird watching is superb, with resident Harlequin ducks and a nearby active Bald eagle's nest. Watch fox, otter, and deer close by, or pack your favorite beverages, a great book, and a picnic basket, and relax at one of the many close County, State, National and Historic parks.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The kitchen was very well stocked, which made it easy to cook meals without needing to bring much along. The space was perfect for a couple—cozy but comfortable. The view is absolutely fantastic, and our favorite part of the trip was spending time out on the deck just relaxing and taking it all in. Saw Orcas from the deck. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful getaway.

The place is nice. It’s tucked away in a good part of the island if you want to get away from the busy areas. It was just two of us so there was plenty of room. Everything was clean and well stocked

Beautiful home with breathtaking views

We had a wonderful stay at this property in the San Juan Islands! The house was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The views were absolutely stunning — we spent hours just taking in the peaceful scenery from the deck. It was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some quiet time in nature. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the San Juan Islands.

What a beautiful setting on the west side of SJI! The deck was our favorite place to relax, watch birds and we even saw orcas from the deck. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus for sunset! It is a sweet, well cared for home and is fully stocked which made our cooking and morning coffee easy! Karen was very responsive when we had questions during our stay.

Beautiful house and property! Well stocked and had everything we needed. Well taken care of. Do be aware that to get from the parking spot to the house you have to go down pallet-like steps. The giant bed upstairs was very comfortable! We saw lots of wildlife (tons of birds, some deer, bats) but no whales from shore. But if you’re looking for somewhere to see them this would be it. Would love to stay again!

The perfect spot

My niece ( who is only 4 years younger) and I did a road trip to Canada and San Juan Island. I'd been to the island a few times before, but never overnight. This house was the perfect place to go out and explore from, and then to come back to later in the day. Glass of wine watching the sun set over the islands, enjoying our books in the hot tub, and just relaxing. She used the upstairs bedroom, while I used the trundle bed in the living room.

Amazing place

My husband, 6 year old son, and I truly enjoyed our stay on the island. Great house to be our homebase while here exploring and adventuring. So much to do on the island. Our favorites were visiting American camp, Young Hill hike at the English camp, Reuben Tarte County Park, Lime Kiln park, Dead Man's cove, Grandma's cove. We had a relaxing time sitting on the deck overlooking the sea. No waterfront access but absolutely gorgeous!

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage on the west side of SJI. The home was exactly what we were hoping for—clean, comfortable, and full of charm. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind, with beautiful views right from the property. Booking through VRBO was a breeze, and working with Karen made the experience even better. She was responsive, kind, and incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire process.The weather during our stay was perfect, which gave us plenty of time to explore San Juan Island and soak up all the natural beauty. We saw so much wildlife—deer, eagles, seals, and orcas! Friday Harbor is just a short drive away and full of great restaurants, shops, and friendly people.We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Great Location - Amazing View - fully equipped . . . However, the house was Not clean! Floors Dirty, table tops Sticky, and the King Bed was 5 feet off the floor, making it uncomfortable and potentially DangerousPlus - they ask you to Self-Clean otherwise they charge you from your damage deposit check . . . Very unusual and something we were not aware of until check-in

Great rental, great views, great stay

Had a fantastic time here with my daughter and dog. The photos do not do justice to the view from the deck and hot tub. I thought I was just getting a place to stay while performing on the island, but I really unplugged here. Everything was clean and everything we needed (and more) was provided. The master bed is extremely comfortable and takes good advantage of the view. You can tell that a lot of love was put into this place and especially love for dogs. The payment method seemed a little unusual to me but worked out easily once Karen explained it. Next time I'm on the island I will not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you!

West side house

This house had an amazing view. There is a house right on the coast that you see but the view to the water and horizon is clear. Hot tub was great. It was very clean and had a kitchen with basic utensils needed for making a meal. Also washing machine and dryer which was nice.It’s 20 min drive to Friday Harbor so we always planned meals with outings. The host recommended Maya whale watching and although pricey it was worth it. We also did kayaking and had the company meet us at snug harbor so we didn’t have to drive to Friday Harbor. The snug harbor resort had a tiny grocery so we bought bacon one morning and coffee another. I think my only complaint was the height of the bed! I forgot in the middle of the night and thought I broke a leg but I’m okay. Otherwise we were comfortable and we felt fine leaving our dog in the home when we went out if needed.
