About this property

Waterfront Home - Watch a Sunset from the Hot Tub, Private Beach, Mooring Buoy

Kick off your island adventure in style — whether you hop on a scenic Kenmore Air seaplane or enjoy the breathtaking views from the Washington State Ferry, your getaway begins with unforgettable views. Once you arrive in Friday Harbor, you’re just 10 miles from your private waterfront cabin retreat.

This isn’t just a cabin — it’s your cozy, adventure-ready basecamp with all the comforts of home and fun extras you didn’t know you needed. The fully updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a wine cooler, and everything you need to cook, sip, and savor — whether you’re whipping up a pancake breakfast or a seafood feast with the day’s local catch. The dining table seats the whole crew for meals, games, or late-night chats.

Step outside and let the magic of the island surround you. Stroll down to the beach where seals, otters, and bald eagles are regular guests. Play yard games with the kids, fire up the grill for a sunset BBQ, or soak in the hot tub while watching boats drift past and the sun set over Henry Island.

Rainy day? No problem. Cozy up inside with a good book, start a movie night with your favorite DVDs (TV is DVD-only), or gather around the large table for games, puzzles and laughter. Big windows wrap the space in natural light and frame unforgettable views of the bay — so you never miss a moment of island beauty.

When you’re ready to explore, San Juan Island is packed with things to do! Zip through the treetops at San Juan Zip Tour, stroll the fragrant fields at Pelindaba Lavender Farm, or dive into local history at the Whale Museum or English Camp. Sip craft spirits at the San Juan Island Distillery, spot orcas from Lime Kiln Point State Park, or saddle up at Horseshu Guest Ranch. Want more? Try whale watching, sailing, kayaking, bocce ball, or just wandering the charming shops and cafes in Friday Harbor.

Whether you’re here to unplug and unwind, explore and adventure, or a little of both — this is your place to do it all.

Please note: The TV is for DVD use only — bring your favorite flicks!

Lovely stay at this house! Really enjoyed the house, the large yard, beautiful views of the bay, and the quiet peacefulness of the surroundings of roche harbor. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was very well stocked for cooking some meals at home. We saw seals, eagles roosting in nearby trees, and it was close to downtown Friday harbor. Great place!

This house was a beautiful place to stay. Steps away from the beach, we were lucky enough to have a low tide and we were able to explore. We had the best weather possible for January so we were able to sit outside and just look at the activity on the water. Wish there would have been somewhere outside to have a fire, not sure if it’s even permitted to do so. we stayed a total of four nights totally worth it. We are hoping to do the trip again next year.

We had the most comfortable and relaxing stay. The house is located on such a beautiful property. The view never got old; it was wonderful enjoying it indoor, outdoor, or in the hot tub. The property felt private and serene. The house itself was very comfortable, had everything needed for an easy stay. We hope to be back.

This property is just fantastic. The views, the wildlife in the backyard (deer, owls, woodpeckers, seals, otters, foxes, various birds, posters), the yard, the beach, the hot tub. The property is very near Roche harbor. Nitpicking any small imperfections would take away from a truly 5 star property. Hope to be back one day.

Location is everything!!! Roche Harbor is only a 15 minute walk down the road and then a path through beautiful woods. We were pleasantly surprised at how much larger the property is than photos depict and yes we had visitors every day, a mama deer and her two fawns! Note: we brought paddle boards and a kayak - check out the shoreline at low tide to see the best access point to the right of the stairs. The water was exquisite!

The manager promised us a night’s refund for our troubles & never did. The septic tank alarm repeatedly sounded & we had to turn it off. The sump pump under the house ran for over 24 hours disrupting us & causing stress. The nasty worn & scratched floor needed to be vacuumed when we arrived because of all the hair & dirt. The main bedroom window was wide open because of a propane smell from the kitchen. The bed was unmade, there were dirty dishes in the dishwasher, wet & dry linens were left in the machines & there were no instructions for the heating units or appliances.

Feels like home. Amazing views and location.

Exactly as described. It’s in a beautiful location at the north end of the island so it’s very calm and secluded. The views of the water from the back yard are great. We saw several river otters and other wildlife. The jacuzzi is a definite plus. The house itself is cozy and feels like it’s actually a home, and unlike many vacation rentals it includes plenty of space - and actual dressers! -to put clothes away. It was a perfect base for exploring the island.

About the host

Hosted by Jenny

Host profile image
After many years of caring for homes and communities within the greater Seattle communities, we wanted to create a space where travelers could feel the same sense of comfort and welcome we’ve built into our neighborhoods. Hosting on VRBO is our way of sharing that love of hospitality on a more personal scale.

Whether you’re here for a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a quiet retreat, we’ve designed this home to be a place where you can truly relax and make lasting memories. Our goal is simple: to give you the comforts of home with the ease of being on vacation.

Why they chose this property

Our family has a long history in the San Juan Islands, and this area has always held a special place in our hearts. The combination of peaceful island life, stunning waterfront views, and the sense of community here makes it unlike anywhere else. It’s a place where we’ve gathered with loved ones, explored hidden coves, and enjoyed long summer evenings watching the sun set over the water.

We chose this neighborhood because it represents everything we value—natural beauty, family connection, and the chance to slow down and truly enjoy life. We’re grateful to share a piece of that experience with our guests.

What makes this property unique

Westcott Bay Cabin in Roche Harbor is more than just a vacation home—it’s a front-row seat to the beauty of the San Juan Islands. Perched above the water, the property offers breathtaking views of Haro Strait and the Canadian Gulf Islands, with some of the most stunning sunsets you’ll ever see.

What makes this home special is the blend of privacy and community. Tucked in a peaceful neighborhood, you’ll enjoy quiet mornings watching boats pass by, while still being just minutes from the charming Roche Harbor Resort with its restaurants, marina, and local shops. The property itself is surrounded by evergreens and rocky shoreline, offering a true Northwest feel with the comfort of a well-appointed home.

Guests often say that staying here feels like experiencing the best of island life—serenity, scenery, and a touch of adventure—all in one place.
