Location: Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, San Juan Islands, Washington State, USA (Friday Harbor, Westside of San Juan Island)
Accommodations: Home, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 6)
As you step through the front door of this exclusive west-side Smuggler's Cove home on San Juan Island your eyes are immediately drawn to the 180° ocean view encompassing nearby Vancouver Island framing the beautiful Haro Strait. Located on nearly an acre of waterfront property you are awarded an infinitely changing panorama of ocean going vessels, marine life, eagles and awe inspiring sunsets from nearly every room of this Northwest contemporary home located in one of the world's premier whale watching locations.
The seasonal arrival of the Orcas never fails to inspire even the long time resident as these magnificent animals provide exuberant displays traveling back and forth in the waters immediately in front of this home, often several times each day. Enjoy the kayakers as they pass beneath, surveying the kelp beds and abundant marine life or join them and launch your own kayak from the home's own private beach just a short stroll away.
Experience unparalleled vistas as you enjoy private al fresco dining from your decks or perhaps savor a glass of local wine and a stunning sunset followed by the twinkling lights of nearby Victoria from the comfort of red wood chairs perched just above the waters edge. Quiet contemplation in front of the fire-pit to the accompaniment of the lapping waters will bring your day to a quiet and peaceful conclusion in this unique and serene location.
