About this property

WESTSIDE Ocean View Vacation Home HOT TUB, available YEAR ROUND

WESTSIDE Ocean View Vacation Home HOT TUB, available YEAR ROUND.

Experience the Pacific Northwest - Island Style while staying in our lovely vacation home overlooking the Ocean to Vancouver Island B.C. Located on the west side of San Juan Island, this beautiful, privately located, romantic ocean view home was custom built with attention to the creative details. Relax every evening in your hot tub enjoying world class sunsets.

1,200 sf custom designed cedar sided cozy bungalow with a very efficient wood stove to enjoy when ambiance and warmth are the inspiration. Propane forced-air heat provided throughout home. Relax in our toasty outdoor hot tub and enjoy world famous sunsets on the Westside of San Juan Island.
Our Home includes 1 Master Bedroom with King bed, 1 Master Bath, Gourmet Kitchen, Dining, Lovely Living Room with memory mattress trundle bed that can be 2 twins. Separate alcove with twin cot. Wood stove heats the whole house or furnace heating. Separate laundry room.

The Home has wireless internet access and DISH satellite TV service & DVD Player and stereo player. 56' HD tv in living room.
Best of all is whale watching as this stretch of shoreline has been identified by a whale museum biologist as a feeding area for Orcas. Watch whales pass by from the deck as their PODS come within a few yards of shore, hunting salmon. Use the provided binoculars to see every detail.
There is plenty to do in the neighborhood with beach access at Snug Harbor Resort. Bird watching is superb, with resident Harlequin ducks and a nearby active Bald eagle's nest. Watch fox, otter, and deer close by, or pack your favorite beverages, a great book, and a picnic basket, and relax at one of the many close County, State, National and Historic parks.
This 1200+ square foot vacation rental location is truly the Pacific Northwest at its finest.

Lovely location and accommodations

My family and I so enjoyed our stay here that we spent all three days of our vacation playing games, doing puzzles, talking, cooking and watching the ships go by. We didn't go anywhere else, except a short shopping trip to Friday Harbor and a trip to St. Francis Catholic church for Mass on Sunday. There is a lot to do on San Juan Island, but staying in and enjoying this lovely home was hard to beat

Beautiful cabin with all the comforts

Beautiful cabin with a well stocked kitchen and beautiful view of the ocean. We were able to see whale (from a distance) from our patio while sipping on coffee in the morning! Bed is located on a high platform on the second floor, we loved it cause it gave us a beautiful view of the ocean. Appreciated the complimentary coffee and loved the hot tub outside. Loved everything about this place, would come back again!

The perfect spot for my family of 4, plus 2 small dogs! The house had everything we needed and more than enough room for everyone to sleep. Joining the songbirds on the deck with my morning coffee was so peaceful and the sunset views cannot be beat.

Lovely getaway

We love San Juan Island. This was our 5th year going there for Thanksgiving. First time staying here. We loved it. Great house, great host. Amazing view. One thing to know that you can’t tell from the pictures—there’s a closet behind the king size bed and it creates a circle, meaning that you can get to the one side of the bed by going around the back of the bed (thru the closet that’s kind of like a walkway). Also, in case it’s not clear from the photos, the bathroom is on the main floor.

Perfectly peaceful with gorgeous views

Cozy cabin with hot tub and ocean views, nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Immaculately clean. Has everything you need. Our pup loved it too. Bed is very cozy…almost like a king sized bunk bed since it’s on a platform and you need to use a stool to get in/on. This was the cleanest proper

Amazing view - Great stay for couples

We had a short but sweet trip to the island. This spot was such a treat! Its the perfect size for a couple but can certainly sleep more with a day bed in the lower living space! The deck wraps around the back to the side where there is a hot tub. Note there is a main house/neighboring home next door but they did a good job of keeping the area private with fencing. There is the perfect amount of trees to feel secluded but also enough space to see the water from the expansive windows. The space has everything you need: towels, toiletries, dishes, washer/dryer, bedding, space heaters, and even binoculars for whale watching! The driveway is wooded and there are a number of steps down to the house (just noting for any folks who may have accessibility concerns). Also the main bed is very tall so requires a step stool getting in and out.

Lovely views

Lovely views at this location, and very cozy spot. Would just give other folks a heads up that the location is not as private as we thought it'd be based on the photos on the listing, the house is very close to neighbors and owners. Additionally, cleaning fees were not included in the price and there was an expectation we clean everything after ourselves or be hit with additional fees. Also - the owner prefers a separate contract and Venmo request for a deposit, outside of VRBO that did confuse us a bit, but we went along with it anyway. Would prefer to keep everything in one place, personally.
