Located on the west side of San Juan Island, this beautiful, privately located, romantic ocean view home was custom built with attention to the creative details.

1,200 sf custom designed cedar sided cozy bungalow with a very efficient wood stove to enjoy when ambiance and warmth are the inspiration. Propane forced-air heat provided throughout home. Relax in our toasty outdoor hot tub and enjoy world famous sunsets on the Westside of San Juan Island.

Best of all is whale watching as this stretch of shoreline has been identified by a whale museum biologist as a feeding area for Orcas. Watch whales pass by from the deck as their PODS come within a few yards of shore, hunting salmon. Use the provided binoculars to see every detail.
There is plenty to do in the neighborhood with beach access at Snug Harbor Resort. Bird watching is superb, with resident Harlequin ducks and a nearby active Bald eagle's nest.

The host was great! Quickly responded to emails before the trip and during our stay. The photos don’t do the place justice - it surpassed our expectations! The location was great - we enjoyed sitting on the deck looking out on the water, and it was close to Lime Kiln and Roche Harbor. We appreciated having access to the Discover Pass that allowed us to park at Lime Kiln and Cattle Point so we could explore a bit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hot tub was a wonderful treat and the view was outstanding in every weather. The bed is very high (i.e., you climb a step stool two steps to get in and out). so that took some getting used to, but it was very comfortable and the height allowed for a beautiful view to sea. We hope to return.
