SAN JUAN WATERHOUSE VRP PROV098

The San Juan Waterhouse is a uniquely beautiful waterfront vacation rental home whose spectacular west side shores of San Juan Island host rare privacy and unforgettable Orca whale watching. Its exceptional waterfront on the Straits of Juan de Fuca, with dramatic views of Puget Sound, Vancouver Island and the snow capped Olympic Mountains offers a private vacation rental opportunity that is breathtaking in all seasons. Fourteen hundred feet of coastline on three acres, bordered by preservation land offers the most premier whale watching on the west side of San Juan Island. Orcas of the J,K and L pod hunt migrating salmon along the shoreline, and on occasion sleep in our cove.

Built uniquely close to the shoreline, the Waterhouse is a very secluded island home.
Custom built with much attention to creative details, enjoy a beautiful stone fireplace (gas flame just recently installed) when ambiance and warmth are the inspiration. The fully equipped kitchen includes a professional Viking stove, a great invitation to the serious chef. A stainless propane BBQ on the deck makes outdoor cooking a breeze.

Multiple French doors, a vaulted ceiling and an open living space floor plan surrounded by windows provide customized comfort, and spectacular water views from all rooms.

There is plenty to do with the rocky coves and a private gravel beach to explore. Tide pooling is excellent. Bring your binoculars because bird watching is superb, with resident Harlequin ducks and the local Bald Eagle 'Rocky'. Watch fox, otter, and deer close by, or pack your favorite beverages, a great book and relax on a sandy haven directly in front of the house. Two well furnished decks with outdoor seating, a picnic table and Adirondack chairs also beckon. A rocky fire pit is available, with the exception of May 1- September 30th when fire danger is high on the island. 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 family groups come within a few yards of shore, hunting salmon.

We are a no smoking, and no pets property. Note: From June 2 through Sep 22 we are a one week minimum stay. From Sep 19-June 1 we are on a three night minimum stay
