Beautiful views in a quiet setting

The property was perfect for our family with plenty of space and nicely appointed. It was nice to have access to the dock for a beautiful water view. We’d love to come back some day.

House was great, view was outstanding,

Everything about the home was great, except the tv operation was a bit challenging, but we weren’t going to watch much tv anyway, so no big deal. The water view & setting was awesome. Our only issue was the condition of a portion of the road leading to the house. Watch out for the potholes, as that can be a definite challenge

Thanksgiving Stay

3rd Thanksgiving in Friday Harbor and first stay at this property. The house was great! Plenty of room and very comfortable. The view was fantastic and the private dock was perfect. Very peaceful sitting out on the dock and enjoying our morning coffee.

Wonderful Property!

Spent the Thanksgiving week at this property as a family of 4 (+ our small dog) and had a wonderful stay. Communication was easy, property was well-kept, and most importantly the property was functional. The big living space/open kitchen made it the perfect family vacation space. 5 stars, hope to visit again!

Quiet and Relaxing

This was a great place to stay for our 20 year wedding anniversary. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Roche Harbor but close enough to enjoy the resort if we wanted. The home is very spacious and the views were amazing. I would definitely stay there again.
