This was our second visit, same time as last year. The hosts have thought of everything and also offer good suggestions to check out. This year we needed some help with booking and Steve and Therese were quick to respond and helpful. Already looking to next year!

This cabin was very special. Every detail was perfect and the view of the water was incredible. We saw three orcas passing by the bay from the front grass. We also saw bald eagles and several baby deer.

Wonderful Stay!

The Waterfront Cove property exceeded my wife and my expectations. The “cabin” was extremely clean, cute, and very comfortable. The view of the Olympic Mountains across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from the house on a clear day is breathtakingly beautiful. We can’t wait to return.

Beautiful tranquil location

This is our favorite location on San Juan. Beautiful tranquil location. We love watching the day go by from the patio. Easy access to the water for kayaking. Very clean home with all you could need. Perfect for the two of us!
