Fantastic Vrbo. Lots of wildlife comes to visit you throughout your stay. We saw several eagles and hawks, many Deer (up to 8 at one time) come to visit in the mornings and evenings— there was also a stunning red fox who came around each evening. The view is fantastic and the property is magical.

We stayed 2 nights, arriving very late at night the place was easy to find. Wonderful place had everything we needed besides tea kettle, I noticed the description before I booked didn’t mentioned one so we brought our own from home but other then that had everything we needed was very cozy and comfortable . The property and home was very clean, well stocked with towels, kitchen essentials to feel at home. Definitely will come back in the future . I wish kids were welcomed to bring them here.

This is my second time at this property. It’s remote and quiet with a beautiful view of the water and lighthouse. Very clean and comfortable and perfect for a single or couple. Deer and foxes roam the property and are very tame. Highly recommended for an extended stay on San Juan island.

We, unfortunately, did not stay at this property due to a burst pipe. We were given a stay at another property which was beautiful. The comminication was a bit all over the place. However, overall the place we ended up in was nice.

Perfect Relaxing Vaca

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 time here was wonderful! It was so secluded and private and it had all the essential to have a lazy, do-nothing vacation. My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and it was the perfect place to relax after the stress of our wedding. Several mornings we sat on the deck with our coffee and watched baby deer walk by. If we had gone during whale watching season it would have been perfect then too!

Wonderful

Such a special and unique place to stay. The cottage has everything you need, and you can watch for whales from your deck as well as other vantage points on the property. And if you're not whale-watching it's fun to watch all the deer, raccoons and foxes that live on the property.

Great Location and Great Cabin

Incredible location, great water views from the living room and deck, and wildlife surrounding the remote private location. We brought a few items from home (some kitchen utensils, a room fan, a night light), however, the cabin had all those items including everything else we would need. We brought clothes, food, and toiletries and extra binoculars, and we were all set. The hosts' house is nearby, but with the boulders and trees, the cabin is very private. This was our first VRBO experience and the bar has been set high for our next VRBO trip.

We were not able to see whales, but did see more eagles soaring and fishing than we have ever seen before. Sitting on the porch and taking in the view was just incredible. Would recommend and definitely would stay here again.
