WESTSIDE Ocean View Vacation Home HOT TUB, available YEAR ROUND

WESTSIDE Ocean View Vacation Home HOT TUB, available YEAR ROUND.

Experience the Pacific Northwest - Island Style while staying in our lovely vacation home overlooking the Ocean to Vancouver Island B.C. 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. Relax every evening in your hot tub enjoying world class sunsets.

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.
Our Home includes 1 Master Bedroom with King bed, 1 Master Bath, Gourmet Kitchen, Dining, Lovely Living Room with memory mattress trundle bed that can be 2 twins. Separate alcove with twin cot. Wood stove heats the whole house or furnace heating. Separate laundry room.

The Home has wireless internet access and DISH satellite TV service & DVD Player and stereo player. 56' HD tv in living room.
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. Watch fox, otter, and deer close by, or pack your favorite beverages, a great book, and a picnic basket, and relax at one of the many close County, State, National and Historic parks.

Hi Ryan, Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed those sunset views — they really are something special. It’s great to know the bed, kitchen setup, and cozy deck blankets all added to your stay. After a full day of hiking, that hot tub can feel like pure magic, so I’m glad it hit the spot. Most of all, we’re happy the home felt clean, welcoming, and peaceful for you. That’s exactly the atmosphere we aim to create. We’d love to host you again whenever you’re ready for another relaxing getaway. Karen P.

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.

Absolutely delighted to hear you had such a lovely stay! Thank you for sharing these thoughtful details — it’s wonderful to know the hot tub and those ever‑changing views made your time memorable. That elevated bed definitely has a bit of personality of its own, and I’m glad it ended up adding to the charm with that sweeping sea view once you got used to it. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back whenever you’re ready for another getaway. Karen P.

Hot tub was great! Lovely home. Good view and comfortable accommodations. We loved it!Just as a heads up, the bathroom sink is draining a little slow, and the upstairs roku remote needs 2 new AAs. Everything else was in 100% perfect order.The place was super clean upon arrival and I appreciate the cleaning/deposit system you have set up! Thank you for having us!

Absolutely wonderful to hear you had such a great stay — that makes my day. I’m glad the hot tub, the view, and the home itself all hit the mark for you, and I really appreciate you noticing the cleanliness and the deposit system. The team works hard on that. Colin J. Thank you as well for the helpful heads‑up about the slow‑draining bathroom sink and the Roku remote. I’ll have maintenance take care of both right away so everything stays in top shape for the next guests. You were a pleasure to host, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime. Karen P

Warm, welcoming, and relaxing! The host was kind and communicative, and the property was beautiful and welcoming. Beautiful deck with a view, hot tub, and cozy interior with an ocean view, fire place, and multiple sleeping options. The house was comfortably furnished with a full functional kitchen, and we so appreciated that they allowed dogs, as well. Check-in was painless and the expectations for cleaning at check-out were clear and helpful. We had a lovely and relaxing weekend and definitely hope to stay again.

Everything was perfect! Such a beautiful house by the water. The kitchen was well stocked for me and my partner to cook meals for the weekend. Amazing views of the sound, islands, and birds while we sipped our morning coffee. The hottub was so nice and relaxing in the evening. Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend getaway on beautiful San Juan Island

We really enjoyed our stay here. The kitchen was very well stocked, which made it easy to cook meals without needing to bring much along. The space was perfect for a couple—cozy but comfortable. The view is absolutely fantastic, and our favorite part of the trip was spending time out on the deck just relaxing and taking it all in. Saw Orcas from the deck.
