Beyond lovely, luxurious, and spacious a property to end our 2week road trip to the PNW. Communication with this host was timely and thorough. We were greeted on the date of our arrival, despite the 2 hour ferry delay. This is a high-end property that was originally owned by the architect and from lighting, flooring, bath extras, window seat, deck with fireplace, fountain entry, whole house sound system , hot tub and kitchen space with every amenity you did not know you needed, it will exceed your expectations! While on the island, we kayaked, took a whale watch, visited the beaches and lighthouses on the West coast, shopped and ate in Friday and Roche harbor, visited American Camp, and witnessed stunning sunsets. We were not able to visit the Alpaca farm near the property so check when they are open, if you are interested!We were 4 friends, traveling together-this house would be perfect for a much larger group of family, couples or friends!

Great family island trip

High end property, in the top 5 of my all of my many VRBO stays. Host is in my top 3 hosts, super helpful and responsive. Property has lots of space, very well stocked, ocean views, and very private. Travel to island should be considered as part of trip. I will definately return again.

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful week at the Mitchell Bay Hideway! The house is truly luxurious. We spent a lot of time enjoying the water view from the deck, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare large meals. We loved kayaking in Mitchell Bay and the hot tub was a treat after busy days on the island. Dave was a very helpful, gracious host!

Beautiful Escape

We vacationed with our grown children and their spouses and had an absolutely wonderful time. The house offers great views of the bay, is very spacious and has a fabulous kitchen. The beautiful window seat was a favorite spot for us all to take turns drinking coffee, reading, napping, or simply just relaxing. The back patio provided excellent space for us all to gather for meals and play games. Our host was top notch as well. Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our family vacation here.

What an awesome stay on San Juan Island...

The house is awesome and the managers were wonderful to work with, and even gave us a tour of the house and its features. The spacious and well appointed kitchen was wonderful to prepare food in. The main living area was well furnished for lots of relaxation and fun, such as family playing board games. The hot tub was easy to access and definitely a hit for us. I just can't say enough good things about this place and the people who run it. It was also close to many sights, restaurants and shops. In all, this place comes with my strongest recommendation for a good time on San Juan Island.

Amazing Vacation

Our family (my wife and children) rented this home for a week. We visited the island with parents and grandparents who stayed in another rental home a short distance away. This home exceeded our expectations and offered far more than the listing disclosed. The layout of the home and its features are perfect for a family with children. The property manager was wonderful and very responsive. I highly recommend this home. We hope to be able to rent it again in the future.

Wonderful experience

Great property, our host David was very responsive. Kitchen is well-stocked and home was neat and clean. Lots of fun features to the home. The view from the house is spectacular. Trail to the water is a little steep. No beach but the property has a great dock and the bay is great to kayak and paddle board in. Good home for adults and teenagers. Anyone staying here will have a wonderful experience!

Relaxing well located retreat

Beautiful well maintained property with water views & access. Roomy with kitchen full of everything needed to entertain with family. Enough space for gathering but with privates spaces for those who like to sleep in or need to work during your get away. Greatly appreciated the welcome & home walk through. Location is close to everything the island offers! Only small negative is lack of air conditioning in primary bedroom...fan kept room at comfortable temp but it was difficult for allergy sufferers. Would highly recommend for family get together ir get away with friends. One of top properties we've ever stayed at! 5 stars for sure!

Casa Del Mar Rocks!!!

Booked this property for our family of 6 (2 adults/4 kiddos) for 5 days over Spring Break, having stayed in 20+ VRBOs over the past handful of years this property ranks up there as one of the best! Was better than described, everything you/you family could need for a comfortable, high-value stay,. Top that all off with a highly personable walkthrough with David coupled with his recommendations of things to do/see around the island and you’re guaranteed a fantastic time! Thanks David for your hospitality and responsiveness, we’ll be back! 😃

Great Property, Great Host, Great Vacation

Our family of five stayed at Mar Vista for a week in July. Everything was just as listed and the house was fantastic. The property owner, David, was in contact often, supplied discounted ferry tickets, and met us at check-in to show us around. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed for the week. If you like to cook meals for the group, you’re going to love the kitchen. The beds were comfortable, the downstairs was like a second living area/master bedroom, and the deck was a great place to relax. We would not hesitate to book more visits with David at Mar Vista.

This home was just terrific; the pictures do not do it justice. The furnishings and accessories are clean, comfortable, not overdone. The beds very comfortable; lots of linens. It's the best appointed kitchen ever and we breakfasted on the deck every day and made dinner twice. Close to Roche Harbor and Friday Harbor...we estimate we drove on every road on the island. (Do not miss the Sculpture Garden at the entrance to Roche Harbor). As our host says, everything is no more than 20 minutes away. David was a great host...he was very responsive to questions before our visit and provided us with a great overview of the house when we arrived. I highly recommend this property. It would be great for families and especially for multiplle couples!

Amazing!!!

This property was incredible! The kitchen alone had so much to offer. There was so much dish ware, cookware, and appliances, not like some places where you only get one frying pan. The views are incredible. The owners take so much pride in this place and really cares about the guest. We had great contact before arriving and helped us sort out the ferry. When we arrived at the property, he showed us around and checked the hot tub chemicals while we were there to make sure everything was good to go. Everything was very clean, he checked in by text a couple times through our stay and was amazing. Cannot say enough wonderful things about this property!!

Postcard perfect and amazing!

Our family, including a teen and pre-teen, just spent several days at this beautiful home, in a stunning, picturesque, location. The house is gorgeous, immaculate, spacious, and comfortable, with an incredibly well stocked kitchen. We cancelled dinner reservations we had made in advance after arriving in order to grill, soak in the hot tub and enjoy the view off of the deck. The sun sets and glimmers off of the water, its breathtaking! David, the property owner is thoughtful, kind, caring, beyond helpful, quick to respond. He provided us with recommendations for the ferry, transportation, restaurants, hikes, things around town, etc. Met us at the house for a full tour and even gave us a ride to the Seaplane dock upon checkout too. We can't say enough wonderful things about this property, the location and David! Everything was even better than described! We were sad to leave, but look forward to another stay here someday! Thank you David!

Dream Home in A Gorgeous Setting

My spouse and I visited San Juan Island with extended family, there were 8 of us in total. We were looking for a house near the water where everyone could be comfortable and were hoping for a special experience. This home exceeded all expectations - it’s one of the nicest homes I’ve ever stayed in. It’s an easy 15 min drive from the harbor ferry, the turn off the main road took us past gorgeous horse farms and into a wooded setting. We knew we were going to enjoy ourselves as we pulled up to the house and saw the beautiful entry. There is a great room with a long lovely window seat, comfy couches with a tv and fireplace, a dining area and a cook’s kitchen. There is a nice view of Mitchell Bay and you can watch the sunset. Every kitchen tool and appliance you could possibly need is available, there are 2 islands, sub zero fridge and freezer and a massive double oven and stove with professional hood. This was perfect for our family as we all love to cook together and had plenty of room to enjoy that. There is a large deck with another fireplace and a massive bbq grill, a hot tub down the stairs, and a fire pit in the backyard. You walk down the hill and there are kayaks you can launch into a gentle bay that you can paddle out to deeper waters. The bedroom and bathrooms were all wonderful as well. The property manager David was very nice. He was extremely helpful, easy to work with and helped us with deeply discounted ferry tickets. I highly recommend this home.
