About this property

Utter Seclusion on 600 Feet of Waterfront , Free WiFi

Situated on 600 feet of both rocky and sandy beach, this contemporary home sits on one of San Juan Island's largest stretches of private waterfront, attracting deer, owls, fox, seals, otters and bald eagles. Take in the 180 degree view from Spieden Island to Mount Baker. You will welcome the amazing morning sunrises to spectacular sunsets from this uniquely situated home.
We supply crab pots, shrimp pots and dip nets which you can use right off the beach. Go down at night with a flashlight and the dip net. Shine the light into the water and the shrimp come to the surface. Some guests like to scuba dive off our property which is full of crab and scallop.
Except at very high tide, at the bottom of the wooden stairs, there is a cove to launch kayaks. This side of the Island is the safest for kayaking and almost always calm.
The open floor plan in this home has a spiral staircase to sleeping loft that sleeps 4. The bedroom has super-comfortable California King bed with views of the water. The casual dining right off the completely equipped kitchen and just steps from the outdoor deck. Wood stove in the living room will make this a pleasant stay in cooler months too!

Amazing stay! The view is stunning! Appreciated the thoughtfulness of the included amenities like the Discovery Pass for the house. The beach access is also wonderful! It rained most days we were there so the rocks one needs to climb down to get to the beach were really slippery. Once on the beach, it was awesome!

Most Beautiful Stay on the Island

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous cabin. We had complete privacy the entire time, & truly enjoyed the seclusion. Access to the water is only a short walk from the cabin, & I’d recommend checking it out. We hope to come back soon and stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay! The setting was so peaceful, especially views from the back deck. Easy access to Friday Harbor and the rest of San Juan Island. The house was clean, comfortable, pet friendly, and had a fully equipped kitchen for cooking.

Lovely secluded oasis on San Juan Island!

My partner and I came to San Juan Island for my birthday and this place made our stay magical! Waking up and being able to step out and look at the water off the back deck was so peaceful. We highly recommend this place and hope to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Kristy & Charles Herrick

Host profile image
Charles and Kristy Herrick live in Sammamish, Washington just east of Seattle in the foothills. Charles does relief work in Africa, India and Afghanistan.He has been a longtime executive in the IT industry, a business consultant and licensed realtor. He is an author and several of his books are available for reading and a complimentary copy of his book Breath of Kenya is given to guests as a way of saying thank you. Kristy is an avid gardener. She weaves, spins and knits and maintains the one and half acre English garden at our home in Sammamish. Our bulldog Otis does absolutely nothing, which meets expectations and then some.

Why they chose this property

Wonderful seclusion just an hour's ferry ride from Anacortes. San Juan is quaint and a bit yesteryear. Friday Harbor is a small town with just about everything you need except for franchise stores. San Juan gets about a third of the rainy days of Seattle. The main road is only a mile away and it's a calm rural road which is great for running, walking or bike riding. Turning right just before the winery and heading down a tree arched road we fell in love with our 6 acres of paradise. It is perhaps the finest piece of property on the Island.

What makes this property unique

Seclusion. Fishing, crabbing, and tide pool viewing. Unparalleled bird and wildlife viewing. Waterfront cookouts. Water, wonderful view of other islands and Mt. Baker.
