Reviewer Comments:
The view out to the strait is wonderful. Can sit inside or out on the deck. Nice large home with many living amenities. Bring your own coffee though.
Incredible views of the Haro Strait and gorgeous sunsets during our vacation. We spent 3 nights enjoying morning coffee on the deck nestled in the trees with amazing views of the Strait and evenings watching the beautiful sunset. The property is exceptionally clean and incredibly well stocked with supplies, kitchen utensils, appliances and spices. It is unbelievably quiet even with the enjoyable sounds of the birds and waves lapping the shoreline. We saw otters, deer, eagles, and a few whale spouts. Most surprisingly was the amount of lovely, entertaining birds in the trees who made daily visits to the bird feeders. The property is well maintained, comfortable and cozy. There were only 2 of us but it comfortably hosts up to at least 6 people so lots of space. Roche Harbor, Milligan Mausoleum, English Camp, Lime Kiln Park are close by and worth leaving the gorgeous views of the property. Fabulous waterfront property with amazing views!
This is a great property with incredible views and easy access to sights all around the island. We would highly recommend it and very much enjoyed our stay.
Amazing place, highly recommended! Don’t miss the short walk down to Smuggler’s Cove.

This is a stunning property! We only wish we had more time to stay there. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was very well stocked, the view is more than amazing. The house itself is architecturally beautiful! Thank you so much for a beautiful couple days. Get out and walk the area, it was gorgeous at the end of the road.
Whale Watch is a well appointed, comfortable and beautiful house! It has everything you need for a Northwest Island getaway with family or friends. We highly recommend it!
Fantastic House would absolutely stay again! Fabulous location to everything on the island! Full kitchen was great, living space comfy, views amazing, beds cozy. Bathrooms clean-plenty of linens. Many serving dishes for in house meals. birds and deer a plenty.limited opening windows. limited clothing space in drawers in two bedrooms & no closet in 3rd bedroom and second bedroom closet filled with homeowner belongings. Master bedroom was fantastic..
Perfect place to relax and watch the ship traffic, birds, fishermen, and otters. Missed the Orcas.

The home is a great place to stay and the management staff were very responsive and helpful when called to ask a question.
The location is everything when coming to san juan island! amazing views from most rooms. very comfortable stay, plenty of room for me and 2 teens. well stocked kitchen and plenty of hang out space. we will be back
The house gave you easy access to all the parks and marinas. Sitting on the deck was peaceful and rejuvenating. Seeing the Orcas one evening was a plus as well. Highly recommend.
Super clean and comfortable property, amazing view, right up the Strait from Lime Kiln State Park. We saw two pods of orcas, J and L, a Minke whale, sea otters, porpoises, and lots of jumping salmon. We truly hope we get the opportunity to visit again next summer.
Girls trip to San Juan Island was perfect with the lovely whale viewing house on the west side of the island. The relaxing views of the water, whales, sunsets, birds and ships going by kept us entertained for hours. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, well laid out and had everything we needed for our four day stay. I would highly recommend this property!

As usual, our annual trip to San Juan Island was not long enough but very relaxing. We love it there, thanks again for another wonderful trip.
Great location, nice, clean place. We had plenty of room for all six of us; however, the hot water is very limited. Showers were about five minutes. Other than the water issue, I would recommend this rental.

The rental was exactly as the pictures show. The views were stunning and the house was clean. Missed the mailbox number the first time so got a tiny bit turned around and these roads are steep and narrow, lol. Loved the telescope thing and the children's books. We had so much to do around the island we didn't get to spend nearly enough time in the home but we enjoyed every bit we did.
