Wonderful Stay!

The Waterfront Cove property exceeded my wife and my expectations. The “cabin” was extremely clean, cute, and very comfortable. The view of the Olympic Mountains across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from the house on a clear day is breathtakingly beautiful. We can’t wait to return.

Incredible quiet, peaceful and cozy stay with gorgeous views and easy stair access to private Westside cove. We enjoyed seeing various shore birds, herons, eagles and daily visits of momma dear and her 2 baby fawns. The cabin is immaculate! Everything you would need is provided. Enjoyed the cozy wood stove. And, the wall of windows has incredible lighting and views! Checkin and out process was very clear and easy and the hosts are very responsive. We had a wonderful and memorable stay!Thank you Steve & Therese

About the host

Why they chose this property

We have been visiting and vacationing in the San Juan islands for decades. We never dreamed we could own a property on the coveted West side of San Juan Island. We feel so fortunate to have purchased this property on a very quiet, protected cove, with a sandy beach, and one of the finest kayak launching locations in San Juan County.

What makes this property unique

Orca whales, seals, otters, eagles, deer, fox, numerous shore birds are all frequent the neighborhood.
