About this property

Secluded House Near Eagle Cove! (IR)

This sunny, private and spacious home with plenty of space to sleep 8. At the south end of San Juan Island, is a perfect getaway for both the outdoor enthusiast or relaxed traveler. (Island Retreat)

This beautifully decorated and well-appointed vacation home provides all the comforts needed while on San Juan Island. As soon as you open the front door, you will notice how much care has gone into making this home warm, convenient and all about relaxation and fun in one of the region’s most sought-after locations for getting away from it all. This home is located within a close walk to one of the island's best sandy beaches and the many trails at American Camp, as well as a 5-minute drive to South Beach, a local favorite spot with built-in County-approved fire pits for summer s'mores and BBQing. This property is perfectly situated for those who are wanting to be island active or looking forward to some peaceful island living.

The open floor plan is laid out with the kitchen, dining room, media room, living room and 3/4 bath (shower, sink, toilet) all on the main level. There is also a sleeping room with Queen bed on the main level; perfect for those not wanting to use stairs. The living room features comfy sofas, high ceilings and great lighting from the many windows with southern exposure. The dining room is connected to the kitchen and features seating for six with additional chairs plus a restaurant-style booster chair for tiny travelers. The counter bar has seating for four and sits just between the dining and kitchen areas.

The kitchen has all the appliances necessary including a microwave, coffee maker, coffee grinder, toaster, crock pot and is well-equipped with all the essentials for meal preparation, so everyone can enjoy cooking together in this spacious and open kitchen.

The upstairs boasts 3 bedrooms and "the kids' room" (3 Queen beds and 1 Bunk Bed), two bathrooms, and a yoga room/office for your enjoyment.

Children will enjoy running around in the spacious yard and playing on the swing set. Once the sun goes down, you can sit under the stars while roasting marshmallows and enjoying the outdoor fire pit (off season use only).

Fire pits are not usable from May 1st-September 30th due to county burn ban and safety of property and neighboring areas. Ban is usually lifted October 1st if/when conditions and weather are favorable. Firewood not provided.

This home has Central Air/ Air Conditioning. There are portable fans provided, however, opening a few doors and windows are adequate to cool down the home on a warm day.

This is a Non-Smoking property.

Yard work can take place throughout the month.

Cell phone service is fair at this property, and long-distance calling is allowed on the landline at no charge. The Wi-Fi connection is also adequate for making phone calls on your personal cell.

San Juan Island is a remote location, and it is good to keep in mind that intermittent, short, Wi-Fi disruptions are very normal for this area.

Great experience

We loved staying at this property! It was very clean and well stocked with towels and other supplies. Plenty of space for our party of 8 to sleep. The yard is a perfect size for kids to run around and play and the location of the house is walking distance to Eagle cove beach and American camp. Overall we had a great stay!

Lovely Property

I loved how quiet the property was. It is kind off the beaten path, but that was one of the things I loved about it. It's also really close to a great beach that would be perfect for small kids. It was a beautiful house that was really peaceful and spacious with a great front porch that is perfect for your morning coffee!

Deer Delight

As we made our way around the curving drive, we were welcomed by a beautiful, spotted deer! The house was clean, quiet and comfortable. The sheets were amazing - Charisma. Nice layout for family time together, as well as private space within each bedroom.

Great quiet get away with some cautions

Property is very quiet and comfortable. However several descriptions are misleading. The tv goes out about every ten minutes fo anywhere from 15 seconds to three minutes. The internet is unreliable. While the description indicates phone service is problematic the internet could not send any size message nor download pictures of any size. The oven is showing its age and slow to reach temperature. Rooms are very large and comfortable.

Exactly what we needed!

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: This beautiful house was perfect for our young family. Our girls squealed with delight on finding the bunk beds and stuffies. The porch is perfectly located to watch them while on the swing set. The house floor plan worked amazingly well for our situation. The house was clean and free of clutter you will sometimes find at a rentals and the furniture was newish and free of stains. The locations is a short drive or walk to Eagles Cove so even though it was not water view we actually preferred the private escape. My only request would be for the bunk beds to be repaired as the top bunk railing was cracked which should be an easy fix. We will definitely be back after covid as it would be a perfect spot for out of town grandparents to join us. Thank you for our much needed vacation.

Beautiful house and location.

This property is as pictured and described by the other reviews. Beautiful and nicely equipped house. It is a secluded location at the south end of the island close to many beaches. One can be reached in about a 15 min walk but you mostly need a car to get anywhere else. My only criticism is that the internet is very slow. I ran several speed tests which were between 0.5 and 1.0 Mbps download and a glacial 0.08 Mpbs upload. The router pinged to Centurylink which apparently is the provider. It was stable (no outages) but just consistently slow so OK for email and static web pages but forget video streaming or any work-based video apps like Zoom. Not going to happen. I don't know if that is all that is availkable in this location or if the owners are just paying for a really slow package. Or if there was just something wrong with the connection when we were there. But anyone wanting to do a working vacation in this location should know how slow it is. And the owners would be advised to upgrade it faster speeds are available.

Very comfortable home in a beautiful setting. As stated in other comments, the house is older than it looks in the pictures. The outside trim needs painting and the yard isn’t as pretty when the pictures were taken. We enjoyed seeing deer in the yard, black fox, owls and quail. The downstairs lack window coverings, which felt weird at night. The house is surrounded by a large thicket, so it is secluded, which has pluses and minuses. A great house for a large group of people.

Spring Break 2025

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: We had an amazing trip to the San Juan Islands for spring break. Getting to the island on the ferry was magical and when we pulled up to the home, it was everything we expected. We have a large family with six kids and the home easily accommodated beds for everyone and room for our family to move around. I the house was about 10 minutes south of Friday Harbor so easily accessible and with hiking and beach vistas so close we didn’t travel far from the home. We would definitely stay here again.

American Camp area rental

I am very familiar with San Juan Island so I was pleased to find a spacious rental for my family to attend a gathering on the island. There are very few rental houses available with five separate sleeping areas to accommodate an extended family. The yard was large and level and good for small kids to play safely. It was walking distance from American Camp, Eagle Cove, Grandma's Cove and even South Beach (about 2 miles) if you are a walker. We had some trouble with the dishwasher and the property management sent someone out immediately to help with the problem. A view of the water was the only thing that was missing.

When we return to Friday Harbor, we definitely plan to return here.

Great location with room to spread out

The property is as described, a secluded getaway that’s super close to Eagle Cove beach and American Camp, but to be honest everything is close on an island. the house was appointed well with a rustic feel. The furniture is getting along in the years, but comfy. The outdoor space is great for kids to run around and we made use of the fire pit and grill outside. We saw a couple deer walking through the backyard in the morning. We were traveling with me, my wife, 11yo daughter, 9yo son, 6yo son, and 76yo mother. Mom appreciated the ground floor accommodations. My only recommendation to the owner is to make sure all rugs have the non-slip mats underneath. A couple in the main bedroom almost got me.

Great house, great walks

Overall, we loved the house and our stay…. The house was comfortable, comfortable for family to spread out and relax — as well as to come together for meals and hanging out. The house is located within short peaceful walks to the beach and to American Camp. Good Thanksgiving. Our one concern was the mattress in the primary bedroom…..very uncomfortable. We were a small group so we could choose other beds…with a new mattress there, this would be ideal for our family… (we usually expect an additional person or two…)
