Whether you are relaxing on the large deck, lined with Adirondack chairs, or sitting in the cozy living room, you will enjoy panoramic views of San Juan Channel including Orcas and Shaw Islands with Mt. Baker in the background. San Juan Channel is a great spot for watching all kinds of vessels pass by. You may even see an occasional transient orca swim past the shoreline.

Simply Spectacular

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: Our family of 5 had the best time on San Juan Island. The house was perfect and the owners thought of nearly everything. The house had all of the kitchen cooking items we needed, there was a rollaway bed so our 3 kids could spread out and each have their own beds, there were fans in each room to help cool off in the afternoon, Tons of board games and puzzles for the kids, binoculars for the spectacular views and even some coffee beans for the mornings. Getting to the water was super easy and exploring the beach is a lot of fun for the kids as the tides come and go and change the beach every day. What more can I say? We loved it and would go back tomorrow.

The house was clean, well stocked and perfect for our family. We loved sitting out on the deck and saw a mom and baby deer in the yard and an otter (I think) out in the water just below. We hope to return!

Limestone Beach Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful house for our party of six. Beautiful location 20 minutes from Friday Harbor. Very clean and well equipped kitchen, however the outdoor grill does not heat over 300 degrees which caused some problems preparing dinner. Additionally we felt the check out time of 10am was a bit much.

Wonderful place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family totally enjoyed our week here. Spent a lot of time just sitting and watching the boats go by. There is small family of deer that like to visit, they are not shy about checking out the humans. Located within easy drive to reach store and restaurants. The washer and dryer was appreciated since my granddaughter liked to play on beach, she liked digging in the rocks. Would stay here again.

Amazing property!

Loved everything about the property except it was very hot inside by late morning until late evening. The thermostat appears to have a cool setting but the AC wouldn’t turn on. Even a standalone unit in the main living space would make the stay a lot more comfortable.

Limestone retreat

Charming, mid century- all in all well renovated and decorated. Several things could be added: In the master bathroom, a towel rack and some hooks. In the kitchen, more coffee mugs and small plates. Family that was staying at another house came over for breakfast and there wasn't enough to serve them. And the (new) dishwasher holds a large amount. Would need to wash so often. We brought a lot of things not knowing what is supplied. A more detailed list would be good. Other than those minor but easy to fix things it was very nice, peaceful and scenic.

Less than expected

The location was great and the views were spectacular. Kitchen was well stocked. We were very disappointed to find no shades or blinds in the master bedroom...only a sheer curtain that does not block any sun. Definitely would NOT recommend to families who need some sleep. Had I been warned I would have brought my own shades or chosen a different property. The cleaners were still cleaning the property at 3:59 pm for a 4 pm check which was strange to see a vehicle there when we arrived. The property advertises "Beach access!" but does not mention that the stairs down to the beach have been significantly damaged by a storm and are very unsafe.

Updated mid-century w/easterly views, not great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We decided to head up to San Juan last minute and this house was available for a few days so we booked it. It's a mid-century home that has been nicely remodeled w/amazing NE views, so it's not a super sunny lot. The location is a bit secluded - $30 taxi to Roche which is a 5 mile drive. The grounds were run down, but lawn was mowed. Overall I wouldn't stay here again. It was priced too high for the location, the overall property (view is amazing!), small beach & close proximaty to the neighbor who has a barky dog. The main photo was taken when it was a low tide so that's a bit deceiving. There is not much of a beach. Loved the house, but want to relocate it.

Our favorite part was the easy access to the rock beach and the serenity of the stay. In the evenings we witnessed wonderful sunsets while watching and listening to the seals play in the water. The house is right sized for a family. You are a short drive from Roche harbor if you need coffee in the morning or a dinner at night. Definitely book a whale watching tour.
