Roche Harbor Bayfront Escape: Luxe Retreat with Kayaks, Deck & Wildlife Views

Unplug, unwind, and reconnect at this serene waterfront retreat on Westcott Bay—just minutes from the charm of Roche Harbor Resort.

This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom + bonus room home comfortably sleeps 8 and offers a seamless blend of indoor comfort and outdoor beauty. With a spacious king master suite, two queen bedrooms, and a fun bonus room featuring four XL twin beds, it's perfect for families or groups. The open-concept kitchen boasts quartz countertops, a 6-burner range, and all the essentials for entertaining.

Step through the 4-panel nano door onto the expansive deck—ideal for morning coffee, evening wine, and everything in between. Watch eagles soar, seals play, and hummingbirds flit by as you soak in the natural beauty.

Adventure awaits right outside your door:

Paddle Westcott Bay in one of our 3 single kayaks, tandem kayak, canoe, or on a paddleboard

Cycle the quiet island roads on our 4 provided bikes

Roast s'mores around the campfire and stargaze under pristine skies

Walk or paddle to local seafood and fresh oysters

Getting here is part of the magic—fly into Roche Harbor via floatplane, or enjoy a scenic drive and ferry from the mainland.

Fast Starlink Wi-Fi makes remote work and streaming seamless.
Download speeds up to 90 Mbps | Upload up to 16 Mbps

Just a 15–20 minute drive from the Friday Harbor ferry dock, this peaceful retreat puts you close to restaurants, shops, spa services, and the marina—yet feels like a world away.

The view was breathtaking. It was cozy and felt like home. Perfect space for a group of people to be together but still have privacy. We could not have imagined a better set up for seven adults (two from the Midwest) who wanted to be together, catch up, relax, and surround ourselves with the beauty of the NW. Extremely well appointed.

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.

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!

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
