Fantastic family getaway.

Such a great place to enjoy a getaway for spring break with a family of 7. Relaxing spaces and room to explore including the beach and the deck. Beautiful views and so much to do in Roche Harbor and across San Juan Island. We look forward to returning.

Beautiful retreat on Westcott Bay

This lovely waterfront island home was well equipt and clean. There were many extras such as kayaks, paddle boards, ping pong, bikes, clam digging equiptment. We loved watching and listening to all of the birds including blue herron and eagles. The location was close to Roche Harbor and the Oyster Farm. Nice home for a family get away.

the BEST weekend!

We spent an amazing weekend at this lovely home on Westcott and can't wait to go back! We enjoyed relaxing on the deck, kayaking over to Westcott for oysters (twice!) and cooking dinners in the well stocked kitchen (they literally have everything you could possibly need). Everything about our stay was comfortable! We loved the view, saw several eagles flying right by the deck, and even had a fox visit once or twice. The kids loved making smores on the fire pit and Roche Harbor was just a short walk away. We visit the island several times a year and our entire group said this is our new favorite place to stay - we can't wait to come back!

Great property, beautiful view

Visited end of February. House was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies and all direction and procedures were very clear. We took a couple boats out to the oyster place while they were open on Saturday. We visited the dog park up in Roche Harbor and let the pups run around. The dog park is pretty muddy so bring towels. Saw otters and a harbor seal and lots of different kinds of birds. Hope we can go back again.

A True Getaway

Although the photos of this house are beautiful, they do not do it justice, it is even more beautiful than pictured. The light and views are amazing, and make the house one that would work in any season – from a beautiful summer day where you would bring the outside in by opening the glass doors, to a rainy cool day where you’d snuggle up inside and watch the seals cavort in the water. The big deck is great and has a sofa area, dining table/chairs, and lounge chair spot for those gorgeous sunny NW summer days. Inside the house is open, airy, and light filled, with beautiful yet comfortable furnishings, a really well stocked kitchen (and we are cooks), fluffy comforters on comfortable beds, and lots of space. Our teenagers loved staying here, and from the abundant board games to water toys (kayaks and paddleboards), there were plenty of diversions to be found right here. Bikes are included and there is a gorgeous loop drive with water views right out the front door which leads to Roche Harbor resort. The island also has many activities, from renting mopeds to hiking and whale watching. Town has many great cafes, stores and restaurants and plenty of diverse areas to explore. But, like us, you may find yourselves drawn right back to the house more than you imagined you might, in order to kayak across the calm bay to pick up some oysters, take a walk on the road right outside the house to the local cidery, grill your favorite meal on the deck as you look out over the bay, curl up with a good book, play some cards with friends... Vacation bliss is to be had here!

Lovely location by adorable Roche Harbor

Our group of 10 (family & friends) had a lovely time at this rental. We were in town for a family member’s wedding in Friday Harbor, so we decided to make a weeklong stay of it. The house is a scenic 20 minute drive from the ferry terminal, and minutes away from downtown Roche Harbor. It is situated on a small hillside which affords stunning water views! The switchback trail to the water and dock were easily manageable, and we loved having access to the kayaks. Exploring Westcott bay on kayaks was one of my favorite things about the island. We saw seals, otters, raccoons, and deer right by the property. The gravel driveway is a bit steep, but our cars managed just fine. The downstairs felt nice and open, great for entertaining a bigger group like us. The upstairs felt more crowded with a tight bathroom and shower area, but they definitely made great use of the square footage overall. We really loved the fact that the kitchen was so well stocked with dishes and cups! They even had a good assortment of spices on hand. Additionally, they had a great amount of towels and bedding, which we also appreciated. Sadly, we didn’t get a chance to use the bikes that they provide, but it was very cool that they were there as an option. My favorite thing about this property was the amazing, spacious deck perfect for entertaining! I would find myself just gazing out over the bay with coffee in hand all throughout the day. Thank you for a nice stay! We had a fun time!

The most perfect place to share with family

What a perfect place to gather with family who stayed all over the island. Large decks and dining area, well stocked kitchen, a grill, lots of seating. Could not have been better outfitted for a lovely weekend. Don't miss the Sculpture Park and Cattle Point. Beautiful! Thank you to our hosts for all the thoughtful touches.

About the host

Hosted by Kristie and Emre Kucur

Host profile image
We are a Seattle based family of 4 who dreamed of having waterfront property in the islands. In 2015 our dream was realized and we spent 18 months renovating, island style. Now it is fully upgraded and ready to share with your family!

Why they chose this property

This property, perched on the hillside, gives you the best of both worlds; peace and tranquility to unplug, enjoy the views and wild life, while being close to the the activities at Roche Harbor, just a 5 minute walk, and Friday Harbor, a 15 minute drive. We love all the island has to offer in kayaking, hiking, beach combing, crabbing, digging for clams, eating fresh seafood, including fresh oysters from just across the bay!

What makes this property unique

We offer 3 sea kayaks (single person) and 1 double, 2 paddle boards, 1 canoe, 4 adult bicycles, 2 kids bikes (6 - 11 yo), 1 kids Burley trailer, 1 kid bike attachment, and 1 razor scooter for your use. Boards, ping pong, games, puzzles, soccer balls
