Perfect location to relax, unwind, renew and enjoy San Juan Island
Kittiwake Getaway is the perfect location to relax, explore and enjoy San Juan Island. Just minutes from Roche Harbor Resort! Relax in the sunny and bright living room with great natural light to take in natures surroundings or to just relax after a long day of sightseeing. Entertain in the fully equipped kitchen with bar seating and plenty of space for meal prep. Enjoy the expansive deck looking out to Speiden Island with propane BBQ and propane firepit table - the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the San Juan’s.
Kittiwake Getaway is very private on nearly an acre and is just minutes from Roche Harbor (heated pool open to Roche Harbor Resort guests and the public, you, for a daily fee paid at the pool- chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.rocheharbor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2024-Pool-Schedule-and-rates-1.pdf,) and Westcott Bay is only 15 minutes from Friday Harbor.
**I do provide a ring security camera that covers the driveway, parking area, and entrance to the home.**
There is vinyl plank flooring in the great room and bedrooms, and primary bathroom and tile flooring in the hall bathroom and kitchen. There are lots of windows that let in the natural sunlight in the living room.
The spacious kitchen has granite countertops and stainless appliances. There is both a traditional Cuisinart coffee maker as well as a Keurig with frother, French press, 4 slice toaster, vitamix blender, hand held blender, hand held mixer, salad spinner, crock pot, rice maker, large electric griddle and an electric kettle. The dining area has seating for 6 and there is also bar seating for 2. There is plenty of space to enjoy board games or to work on a puzzle. If you can’t unplug, the home does have a desk, StarLink wireless internet service and offers good cell phone reception.
Kittiwake Getaway offers 3 bedrooms with well-appointed sleeping for 6. The primary bathroom has an attached full ensuite with a large shower surrounded by glass enclosure and is stocked with plush linens, shampoo and conditioner, bath and facial bar soaps and body gel. The same amenities are provided in the other bathroom. There is a king size bed in one of the other bedrooms and a queen size bed in the other. There is also a queen size air mattress available for a 7th guest, provided upon request, which is considered a 4th bed. It can be easily placed in the living room. Kittiwake Getaway does allow up to 7 guests. There is an additional fee for the 7th guest. Please see other listing details.
The expansive deck with a peekaboo view of the ocean across to Speiden Island offers a dining table with seating for 6, propane firepit table and propane barbeque grill (1 filled propane bottle for each provided) and is a great place to relax and unwind from a day's adventure, or to enjoy the serenity of the surroundings which include beautiful madrona, fir, and evergreens and abundant wildlife such as deer, eagles, native birds and fox.
Kittiwake Getaway is just 1 1/2 miles from Roche Harbor Resort Pool available to Roche Harbor Guests and the public (you) for a daily fee. The pool is seasonal and occasionally closed to the public so be sure to check what the availability is during the dates you stay.
**Dog** Friendly! We allow up to 2 dogs with an additional fee per dog per stay. Please see other listing details. VRBO does not provide the ability to add and pay for more than 1 pet at this time. Please let me know if you are bringing 2 dogs so I can send you the Pet Fee request for the second dog. No other pets are allowed.
While traveling it is often difficult to anticipate what the accommodations will consist of when you arrive. At “Kittiwake Getaway”, every effort has been made to provide an inviting “home away from home”. I have not skimped during the process of supplying the home with sundries, kitchen/ household items, appliances, and cookware. The home is meticulously cleaned between bookings. You can feel confident that every effort will be made to make sure your stay is a good and safe experience! No smoking allowed on the premises. Please remember, you are a guest, not a host. No more than booked number of guests and pets allowed on premises.
**Car charging is prohibited**. Garage is not for guest use.
**Only booked guests and dogs allowed on the premises** If you have plans other than what your booking states, i.e. invite others for dinner or an afternoon to hang out, pre-approval is required. Please contact me with details.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Susan
I've lived in Friday Harbor a couple of different times. The first time was from 1976 to 1989. I moved back in 2015 and started cleaning vacation rental homes. I found that I loved cleaning and making spaces a perfect place for people to enjoy. I found that not all vacation rentals are created equal. Some offered some things while others offered others. I decided that I would love to create a space combining everything I saw in every vacation rental. SO, that's what I've done. I love hosting people and making sure they have the best experience possible.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this property the first time I saw it and knew that guests would love it too. It has a warm, homey and private feel to it.
What makes this property unique
The deck has recently been upgraded to be double in size, making ample space for gathering for dinner and being able to enjoy the firepit table all at the same time.
