Water View Place

Water View Place - NEWLY LISTED! NEW HOT TUB! This cozy and contemporary southwest-facing home offers a stunning view of Haro Strait and the Olympic Mountains. Spectacular water views make it ideal for seasonal whale watching. High vaulted ceilings expand this three bedroom home. The modern kitchen is well-stocked to make meal planning a breeze, and offer a fantastic view while doing so. Guests can eat at the breakfast bar or enjoy the adjacent dining table seated by the southwest facing windows.

The comfortable living room offers seating for everyone to enjoy a movie or the provided Dish Network. Family time can be shared on the deck with the 4 seater table and BBQ.

There is a bathroom on each floor conveniently located by the bedrooms. Upstairs you will find 2 bedrooms on either side of the full bathroom: the Master bedroom to your right with a private deck, and the Queen guest bedroom to the left.

***PLEASE NOTE***Though the home is very private, there are caretakers living in a separate cabin on the property. The living room, kitchen and 2 bedrooms are located on the second level

  Kara G from Carbondale, Colorado recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed at Water View Place for five nights in August. The home is beautiful. Very well appointed with nice linens and towels, very good mattresses, well stocked kitchen, plenty of beach towels and chairs. The location is serene and definitely away from the noise of Friday Harbor. Beautiful west-facing water view for wonderful sunsets. Steve and Debbie left a welcome basket with everything you could need for a few breakfasts. The hot tub was terrific - clean, strong jets, nice patio garden surrounding it. We used the grill several times. Very nice feature. Beautiful hard wood floors throughout and panoramic views from all sides of the house. Truly a beautiful island retreat. Eagle Cove beach is about 1/2 mile down the road with parking. Definitely recommend an ocean kayaking tour if you haven't done it. We left from Roche Harbor with San Juan Outfitters for a five hour excursion. Small group - just three kayaks. Great day. Would recommend Water View Place very highly. We would definitely re-rent if we return to the island. Thank you Debbie and Steve!

  This home is located in my favorite part of the island, with a wide open feeling and great views. Nearby are beautiful scenic opportunities for quiet exploration. Proximity to town is great, with deer in the yard and on the bluff. Adjacent homeowner cottage is close, but courteous acknowledgement of privacy, and a very warm and welcoming basket of coffee, bread, and snacks was a nice touch.

  Daniela D from Redmond, WA recommends this vacation rental

  We spent 2 nights at the San Juan Island and had a great time at this beautiful house. The property was very clean, nicely furnished and just 10-20 minutes away from any major part of the island. The caretakers surprised us with a basket full pf goodies and hand written card. It was a very personal and kind gesture. The only things we didn't like were maintenance related. The grill had not been cleaned for a long time (this is partially visitors' fault), there were no patio/dech lights that we could find, so it was hard to use the bbq after sunset.

  • Manager Responded on 1/31/2019

    We are so happy you enjoyed yourselves at Water View Place! It is truly a south-end gem of a property. The sunsets and sunrises at that property are amazing! We apologize that the BBQ was not up to standard, and we will make sure that is remedied for guests in the future. Thanks again for choosing San Juan Property Management!

  What a beautiful home. Spent three nights with family here and we had such a great time relaxing and connecting. Check in was easy, we were even given a notice that the property was available early. The space was impeccably clean and well stocked. The basket of goodies and welcome note was so cool when we arrived and was just one of the little touches that made the stay special. Best part by far though, was driving up with about 10 deer in the field around the house. We saw bald eagle across the incredible view as well. What a great place and only 10 minutes (or less) to town. Would definitely recommend.

  • Manager Responded on 2/1/2019

    We are thrilled you had such a great stay at Water View Place. The wildlife viewing alone make this home very unique and welcoming. It's great to hear you had an Island-Deer family welcoming committee upon your arrival! Thanks again for choosing San Juan Property Management.

  The house is exactly as pictured and described. Views were great and it was fun to experience a variety of November weather. The care takers left us a great goodie basket with all the things we would need for the 1st day's breakfast- including some of the BEST bread we've ever tasted! The only disappointment was that we couldn't get another loaf from Bakery San Juan before we headed back home. We saw deer every AM and PM! Close to Friday Harbor and to American Camp. Great gas fireplace and open floor plan for all of us to hang out while cooking. Hot tub was great- everything is brand new at the house. TV w/ great cable was a treat! Wi-fi works great, but (as they warned us in advance) cell phone coverage is spotty. Care takers were not there during our stay, but for some people who are looking for 100% privacy I would say that the their home is a little closer than I expected. We had a fabulous time and will be be back for sure!

We truly enjoyed our weekend! We rented bikes and road to Snug Harbor, 13 miles each way, very steep hills, but beautiful ride. Kayaking tour out of Snug Harbor was fabulous. We saw whales, Harbor seals, star fish, giant jellyfish and bald eagles. Amazing experience!

The house is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. I would recommend this house to anyone and everyone.

  Really enjoyed our 4 nights at this place. A high quality house in just a wonderful setting. The hosts were great. The house had everything we needed. The view is really special - yes, we did see an Orca from the view deck. This was a perfect place for 3 life-long friends to stay and hand out together. Two items to be aware of - (1) while there are three bedrooms, there are only two (huge) bathrooms - not a problem for us, but make sure that is appropriate for your group (2) Wifi works fine, but cell phone service is spotty at best (like in many parts of the island). Overall, a quality place to stay.

  Charles P from Mercer Island, WA recommends this vacation rental

  We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Water View Place. The home is lovely, very accurately depicted in the photos.
  The location on the west side of SJI is perfect for sunsets and views over the water to Vancouver Island and Victoria. This is enhanced by having the living/dining areas upstairs for the views, along with a large deck facing west.
  We enjoyed every morning and evening on that deck, and were treated several times to pods of Orcas feeding along the coast. We were close enough to hear their exhalations when they would surface!
  The home was well cleaned, and well appointed with niceties like bathroom products, complimentary ground coffee, treats etc. Gracious touch!
  The queen beds are very comfortable (a bit on the soft side for our personal taste, but that is subjective of course). The bedrooms are well outfitted with closet/storage space.
  No A/C, but the San Juans rarely stay hot at night, so we would open the screened windows and things would cool down. No window in the master bedroom (double door to small deck, not screened), but a fan is supplied. (A screen on that door would be a nice touch, although we didn't have any bugs while there).
  Kitchen is well stocked (unusual!), and washer/dryer are large and work well. Didn't use hot tub.
  iHome stereo device rigged for iPhone/iPad attachment is nice. Didn't use TV, etc.
  Parking area is easy and large.
  Location beautiful, and remote for privacy (note very helpful owners do live adjacent in own cabin, but didn't impinge on our sense of privacy). Friday Harbor 10-15 minute drive. Same for Lime Kiln SP or Cattle Point. Roche Harbor about 30 min.
  Overall, a wonderful home in a quiet location with a fantastic view. Would highly recommend to friends and family.
  Thanks for a great stay!

  Loved the serene location. Very clean place, updated, lovely. Landscaping around the house was beautiful. Very happy with the place, zero complaints. When I was in the research phase, looking for places to stay on San Juan Island, I remember reading someone's comment that guests have to go outside to access the patio and hot tub. That's not the case. It was easily accessible through a very clean (and unoccupied) double garage. We really enjoyed the place, and like I mentioned, it was very clean, beautifully updated, awesome views, and all-around great.

  We just returned from a long weekend at Water View Place. What a beautiful home and memorable stay! The home is situated with a view of the water, and we enjoyed daily sightings of deer grazing in the meadow. Each morning we drank our coffee and watched the wildlife and various activities in the bay.
  
  My cousin and I brought our moms up for a long weekend. We spent several hours a day sight seeing, but always looked forward to coming back to the house at the end of the day to relax. Furnishings were comfortable, Wi-fi worked great, and we enjoyed cooking in the well-equipped kitchen.
  
  I would highly recommend this place, and wouldn't mind renting it again in the future. If you have anyone in your party who cannot climb stairs, you may want to consider another location.

  We've rented on both coasts - in the mountains, the desert, on the beach and lakeside - and this property is easily in our top 5; maybe tied for first. The photos are 100% accurate - if not a bit modest: the views across the sound to the Olympics are absolutely incredible. You can actually view the sounds from both the large front deck AND the smaller deck of the master bedroom. The property is well-finished with quality materials, immaculately maintained and spotlessly clean. The owners live next door, and were available and friendly but never intrusive. Near the end of a gravel road, the house is incredibly quiet - except for the sounds of the waves and birds. We saw deer and quail each evening. The welcome snacks and first morning coffee supply were a nice extra touch. While not touted in the review, the living room couch (while not a pull-out) is a comfortable sleeping spot if you have a snorer in your family and kids too old to share a bed! With so much to do on the island, we actually scheduled our sunsets to be back at the house to enjoy them! Amazing place!

  From the beautiful garden to the abundant wildlife, this home has it all. The house itself is very nicely appointed, but the natural surroundings are what make it spectacular. The views of the water allow you observe orcas swimming past right from the porch. Hummingbirds and bald eagles fly overhead. Black tailed deer and foxes graze in the surroundings. We would happily return to this property in the future and highly recommend it to others.

  The property was beautiful, and an easy fifteen minutes to town. The view was wonderful, and my wife enjoyed the bald eagle playground that is this particular area, managing to photograph multiple eagles at a time the week of our stay. The house is well furnished and comfortable, and has all the modern touches that you might hope for. The owners live on site, and were incredibly nice and helpful if needed. We will definitely stay here again.

  We had a great trip to Water View Place, the perfect place to stay our first time on San Juan Island. Our family of 4 and my mother made the trip to visit family who live near by. The views were incredible, and the drive in was so different and fun compared to our everyday lives. The house was warm and inviting upon arrival, exactly what was needed after a long travel day. We look forward to coming back and visiting in the summer next time and would love to stay here agin, we hear the whales visit near by and you can hear them singing at night.

  Lovely house and location. Potential guests need to know that main living area is upstairs; not ideal for someone with mobility issues. An added plus that the homeowner is right next door (helped us figure out the tv controls, which are a bit tricky). We appreciated and enjoyed the basket of "first breakfast" and snack items.

  It was one of a kind! The San Juan Islands are like being in another country. And Water View Place was the icing on the cake. We arrived to this well appointed yet comfy cozy home and the whales were feeding in the Haro Strait. They visited mulitple times a day some times and almost every day! The home is masterful design with fine finishes. The owners and their sweet puppy make you feel right at home, but do not hoover :). We will most certainly be back.

  A lovely home in an idyllic rural setting. Very bright, cheery, and open layout with pretty water views. Furnishings and decorations were comfortable and welcoming. Home was spotless with many nice touches such as fluffy towels and local lavender soap in the bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and we were welcomed with fresh bread and coffee upon arrival.
  
  This was our favorite area of San Juan island with the coastal hikes of American camp nearby. We would undoubtedly recommend this special place!

Great privacy and perfect for our family of four.

  a guest from San Diego, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We rented Water View Place in May. The property met & exceeded our expectations. Kitchen was well stocked, pictures don't really do the house justice as to how nice this house is laid out, especially for a group with the open floor plan. The house is actually closer to the water then the pictures let on. Note it is not on the water but close & has an excellent view - great sunsets. If you had two couples it would be a great house to rent with the set up, & could comfortably fit a family. Location was perfect to run into town or around the island to the top tourists spots. Owners do live next door but you don't realize it & are actually quite helpful with suggesting hikes & things to do. San Juan Property Management was great to work with - responded to all emails, easy payment, & followed up to make sure everything was OK with the house which isn't the norm for most rental agencies.

  Absolutely loved this house/cabin. Perfect for 6 people. Location was great - right on the water with Whales swimming by daily. Far enough out that you feel piece of mind, but accessible to a lot of great San Juan tourist spots. Friendly owners - the husband built this house. Only reservation is that it has 1 bathroom.

  a guest from Olympia, WA recommends this vacation rental

  This is a marvelous house and excellent location. We watched Orcas playing in the water while we sat on the deck enjoying to spectacular view of the water and Vancouver Island in the distance. The sunsets were brilliant. The house is a great design with lovely furnishings. American Camp is walking/running/riding distance and the beach there is the longest on the island for walking/running and there are trails throughout the park for walking/running. It is a quick drive to Friday Harbor for anything you might want. It is a quick trip to Lime Kiln park for a slightly different view of the whales and sunset, but really the deck offers about the best sunset and whale watching views you can imagine.

  Anne T from Manhattan Beach, CA recommends this vacation rental

  My husband and I and our 17 year daughter stayed here in early August. Water View Place is wonderful for so many reasons. The view from the home is breathtaking. Not only did we watch orca swim by, we could even hear them breathing. Remarkable. The sunsets were incredible too. The setting is so beautiful. It's quaintly rural, yet still only a 10 minute drive to Friday Harbor. The home itself is even nicer than the very nice photos. The kitchen is well stocked with quality cookware, and you can whale watch while you do the dishes! The bathroom is really nice and spacious. Everything about the home is top notch. We even picked a zucchini from the garden to BBQ one night. We will definitely stay here again. It's a gem.

  Our family of 5 fit perfectly in the 3 bedrooms. What a beautiful property from the setting, to the structure, to the decor. This made our stay on San Juan and was the nicest accommodations we had during our 10 day trip to WA. Just beautiful! We saw Orcas from the deck, picked blackberries along the road, and cooked local fish bought in the harbor. You cannot go wrong with this house.

  Doran S from Minneapolis, MN recommends this vacation rental

  Our stay at Water View Place was simply wonderful. The house is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The owners pay attention to detail. It is in a beautiful location and the upper deck allowed us to enjoy views of the water, watch pods of Orcas swim by and enjoy sunsets. It is about 8-10 minutes from Friday Harbor, so you need a car and can't walk to stores, coffee, etc. Our only minor complaint is that kitchen needs a few more items. But our family had the most wonderful time at San Juan Islands and Water View Place was perfect.

  Matt V from Healdsburg, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We selected Water View Place for exactly what the name implies: its water view. I had visited San Juan Island before, and knew the resident Orcas swam by the southern point pretty much every day. I wanted a place with a view of the straits. Water View Place delivered in spades. The house itself was spotlessly clean, the rooms spacious and modern. Our favorite part of the house was the great room; those windows enable you to see everything -- including the passing whales. Also really appreciated the gas grill on the deck outside; we used that a bunch. The kitchen was MUCH nicer than our kitchen at home, and I appreciated that the owners allowed us to use their stash of bags, tin foil, etc. Beds were comfortable and cozy. Upstairs bathroom was immaculate and that tub was big enough for about 10 of us. Loved the downstairs bedroom, too -- the property was only advertised as a 2 BR but really it was a 3 BR. Our kids enjoyed picking snap peas from the garden and running around on the yard out front. Perhaps my only warning to other guests would be to RENT A 4WD VEHICLE. We did not, and after two weeks' of back and forth on the road, I blew a side wall toward the end of our visit. Bottom line: We will be back, and when we return, we'll stay here again. We loved it.
