The Paddle Shack is a cozy, dreamy cottage right on the coastline, offering stunning views and a spacious, inviting deck. We loved every moment of our stay - it was the perfect spot to soak in the quiet beauty of the San Juan Islands.

San Juan Bliss

The home is nestled in the trees and right on the water. The multi-level decks provided opportunities to enjoy the tranquil and expansive views of the water and surrounding islands.We enjoyed all of our meals outdoors and took advantage of the hot tub and sauna before enjoying the sunset and blanket of stars in front of the gas fire pit. Minutes from the marina in Friday Harbor, Definitely a 5 star experience!

We stayed at the Paddle Shack for three nights. I wish we could have stayed longer. The property itself was immaculate, and the views were STUNNING!!! The location was also great, just 5min out of Friday Harbor. Karen and Duncan were more than helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had leading up to, and during, our stay. My teenage kids spent a lot of time on the huge deck playing games and enjoying the nice weather while watching boats go by. We looked at a lot of VRBO's on San Juan Island, and I am SO glad we chose this one.

We've been to the San Juans several times. This lovely peaceful quiet home with a simply gorgeous view was a pure delight. The kitchen was equipped wonderfully, the beds were great and we loved every minute. I wish we were still there! Thank you. Wow!

Peaceful Escape

Our family of four had an amazing stay! The property felt isolated, yet we were less than 10 minutes from town. We saw eagles, ducks, foxes, sea otters, seals, crabs, and porpoises, all from the balcony. It really was magical and there was so much to do on San Juan. I recommend this property for anyone that loves nature, craves peace, and seeks adventure on the island! Bonus- the owners were so considerate and accommodating. Wonderful hosts!

Back in the ‘80s there was a real estate phrase that was used to explain a properties value:“It’s the view stupid”And that my friends is the priceless quality of this house, everything else is just the frosting.The decor is a treat unto itself and its tasteful palette of colors did a perfect job of connecting the inside to the out.It was a lovely quiet except for the gun shot tail slaps of the seals frolicking below the deck ( miles and miles of decks)Clean, great beds. Totally a wonderful experience all around. The only real negative was the 250.00 dog fee. Hard to swallow when you have a non shedding 14 lb bichon. I was aware of it when we reserved, but it was a bit of a shadow on my week otherwise perfect week.

A Magical Stay at The Paddle Shack!

Our stay at The Paddle Shack was absolutely unforgettable. It was everything we hoped for—and more! I stayed with my 7-year-old, and we were both in awe from the moment we arrived.The outdoor space was perfect: yard games, a hammock for relaxing, and a hot tub that made for some cozy evenings. One evening, we watched a family of orcas and two humpbacks right from the deck—truly breathtaking. We also spotted countless bald eagles throughout our stay. Nature lovers, this is your dream spot. We were able to walk to the bottom of the deck and see bioluminescence right in the backyard. It felt like a dream! Inside, the heated bathroom floors were such a treat, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook and feel at home. Every detail had been thoughtfully considered.Duncan and Karen were incredibly kind and helpful, offering great advice before our trip and making us feel completely welcome.10/10 recommend—already dreaming of our next visit!
