  Leslie S from Lafayette, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We were lucky to have an extended stay at this amazing home. We loved everything about it. My husband loved filling the bird feeders and watching all the different birds visit. My favorite part was the beautiful view. We spent a lot of time on the deck! The view from the great room was also spectacular. The house was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. We will definitely be going back.

  Can't say enough about the views from this property! Pictures don't do it justice. While it was too steep to access the cove, the views make up for it. The house was clean and comfortable. Very well-stocked with spices, utensils, dishes, etc for the person who enjoys cooking. Felt like a home and not a rental. Great location on the west side of the island, but plan ahead to hit the grocery store when arriving into Friday Harbor. SJPM was easy to work with and made checking in and out seamless. Would stay here again!

  We enjoyed our stay very much. The view was stunning and the house was very comfortable for my family. We saw lots of wildlife, but sadly no whales. The location was great and the house was easy to find.

  My wife and I rented this home for our honeymoon and were completely charmed by the property. It was quiet with amazing views. My favorite was falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean. The hosts made sure we had everything we needed, and the ambience of this home was soothing and relaxing. I wanted to buy the place!

  This house is amazing. It’s on the west side of San Juan Island with views from every room. It’s hard to not just completely relax and unwind as soon as you arrive. We spent days reading, cooking and watching wildlife. The house is clean, gorgeous and laid out nicely so that there’s privacy for everyone. I didn’t want to leave!

  This is the perfect location for a beautiful view and relaxation. It is located on the the west side, away from the hussle and bussle of the harbor area. Breakfast on the patio in the AM and Wine in the PM. The house was beautifully furnished and well supplied with spices and basic cooking needs. I was able to walk every morning and enjoy the trees and shade. We could not ask for more.

  Lorin G from ridgefield, wa recommends this vacation rental

  The pictures, while they seem to be “painted”, are a very accurate representation of the cabin! The view is wonderful!! This is a 1960ish cabin that has been completely overhauled in the inside. Updated kitchen and baths newer furniture, comfortable bedding and linens! It really was a wonderful stay and worth every penny.!!
  
  The home is located on a very private lot in a secluded neighborhood road. During the time we were there, there were very few people around so it felt like we were really remote. There is no access to the water at this lot and you can’t use the wood stove (while u understand, it sure would have been nice on those cooler evenings)...only 15-20 mins to Friday harbor and 10-15 to Roche..
  
  We did not see any whales while we were there but it was a fantastic view.
  
  A couple of notes to consider, the main floor shower is hard to figure out and the steps down to the lower level BR and laundry are extremely slick when wearing socks (2 of us fell- not bad but those wood floors sure are well polished!!

  Todd C from Palm Beach Gardens, FL recommends this vacation rental

  Nice Westside home that you can sit and watch the sunset and whales go by. House was clean and well stocked for our extended vacation. We saw Orcas the first day, along with a number of times during our stay. There was a pair of eagles that perched on the neighbor's trees each day, which was awesome! And a doe and her two young fawns graced our yard one afternoon, along with a daily visit from the numerous Island deer. We also saw a pair of otters, daily harbor porpoise, stunning birds at the bird feeder and sunsets that were breathtaking!! House was cozy and inviting. Two rooms upstairs with a shared bath, a kingsize bed in one which is nice. Two smaller rooms downstairs with a shared bath. Bedrooms do not have blackout curtains so bring an eye mask if light bothers you. Location was great, near Roche Harbor and Lime Kiln Park and not too far from Friday Harbor. We hope to make it a yearly visit.

  We had a really great experience at this rental. The house was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed spending a long weekend there. The sunsets are so beautiful here. We had family from out of town visiting and this was the perfect trip to take them on. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was so organized. The management company was available at all times for any questions. We also really enjoyed grilling on the deck.

  Gorgeous home with stunning views from every room. Very comfortable and well-appointed. We thought the pictures might be too good to be true, but they were spot-on. The home really is that beautiful! Our only complaint was a shortage of bath towels. Other than that, our stay was perfect.

  Whale View is an amazing getaway! Beautiful views right on the water.
  The place is clean, comfortable and very enjoyable. Love watching the boats go by and dolphins dancing. There were deer all around the house too. Great place to reconnect to what matters and leave recharged! Hope to return.

  We had the most wonderful stay here this past memorial day. The view from the house was absolutely incredible (we saw orcas!). The deck is perfect for hanging out and grilling while taking in the view. We also went kayaking from Snug harbor which was about a 20 minute walk. Super convenient. Can't wait to go back!

  Our family had a wonderful time staying at this cabin over the weekend. We saw whales, seals swimming and many birds coming to visit at the bird feeder.?it was truly a magical place. One of our sons enjoyed looking through the telescope at all the passing freighters (far in the distance) and recording their names in his book. We loved the quiet natural quality of the location. Cabin was wonderful.

  This property is so lovely. The owners have thought of everything one could possibly need for a "home away from home". The views were spectacular and we saw Orca everyday. I have stayed at many west side properties over the last 6 years and this was by far one of the nicest.

  All 6 people in the house completely fell in love with this house and with the San Juan islands! Very peaceful location. Yes it's not in town, but it's a 15-20 minute drive with gorgeous views, so I didn't view the distance as a downside. The house itself is modest, comfortable, and clean. The view is absolutely beautiful. We saw at least 5 orcas while eating our breakfast on the patio. At night, it is far away from everything that you can stargaze for fun. The pictures on the site don't do the view justice!

  The moment we stepped through the door, we fell in love. This is the 4th place we've rented over the past 6 years, and we love it soooo much. The view is to die for. Whales a plenty just before sunset. Fantastic details everywhere. Private beach a short walk down the road. The very recent remodel thought of everything. Just don't rent it when we want it for next year!!!! Oh, the only thing missing was a teapot for boiling water, but the two coffee makers made up for that.
