We had a great time on the island and the house was perfect for our needs. It was too cold to use the kayaks or sit outside on the deck, so we’d love to come back in the summer months. We got up early one day to watch the sunrise and it was so beautiful and worth it - highly recommend. The little grocery store in Roche Harbor Resort was great to grab a few snacks and drinks. We loved hiking all the trails right across the street from the house, our kids could climb in there for hours. The house was well equipped, the only things I would say is the light/fan in one of the upstairs bedrooms wouldn’t turn off by using the switch and the upstairs bathroom is a little dated and had a lot of spiderwebs. The stairs might be tricky for some, especially taking up luggage, but they weren’t a problem for us. Also, the coffee pot should probably be replaced. After all was said and done, we would definitely stay here again. We explored the entire island and it didn’t take too long to get from one side to the other. The owners were responsive and very easy to work with. Thanks for a great long weekend!

The most perfect place to share with family

What a perfect place to gather with family who stayed all over the island. Large decks and dining area, well stocked kitchen, a grill, lots of seating. Could not have been better outfitted for a lovely weekend. Don't miss the Sculpture Park and Cattle Point. Beautiful! Thank you to our hosts for all the thoughtful touches.
Amazing view
Kayaks and water access for personal craft. Easy paddle to oyster farm.

2nd Stay Just as Great as the 1st

This was our second time staying at this beautiful home. We enjoyed our stay so much last summer we brought my husband’s parents from the east coast back so we could show them the beauty of the San Juans and they fell in love too. The house has so many amenities and is so inviting. We enjoyed views and hanging out on the deck and at the fire pit the most! Looking forward to the next time we could return.

About the host

Hosted by Kristie and Emre Kucur

Host profile image
We are a Seattle based family of 4 who dreamed of having waterfront property in the islands. In 2015 our dream was realized and we spent 18 months renovating, island style. Now it is fully upgraded and ready to share with your family!

Why they chose this property

This property, perched on the hillside, gives you the best of both worlds; peace and tranquility to unplug, enjoy the views and wild life, while being close to the the activities at Roche Harbor, just a 5 minute walk, and Friday Harbor, a 15 minute drive. We love all the island has to offer in kayaking, hiking, beach combing, crabbing, digging for clams, eating fresh seafood, including fresh oysters from just across the bay!

What makes this property unique

We offer 3 sea kayaks (single person) and 1 double, 2 paddle boards, 1 canoe, 4 adult bicycles, 2 kids bikes (6 - 11 yo), 1 kids Burley trailer, 1 kid bike attachment, and 1 razor scooter for your use. Boards, ping pong, games, puzzles, soccer balls
