Deepwater Dock! Waterfront! On beautiful Mitchell Bay! The best sunset view on San Juan Island. This spacious 2-bedroom 2-bathroom waterfront home has exactly what you need to unwind on San Juan Island. (Hoeppner's Vista)
Located in Mitchell Bay, across from Snug Harbor Resort, this property is perfectly situated for a family or small group of friends looking to enjoy the Westside of San Juan Island and all of its bounty. Whales frequent Open Bay which is only a 5-minute boat ride from the property. Bring your fishing boat or rent one locally to utilize excellent summer salmon fishing and crabbing. The dock can moor power boats up to 30 feet or sail boats up to 40 feet. No shore power or water hook up.
Guests on boat count towards the Maximum Occupancy of the home. This neighborhood is very quiet, quaint, and tight-knit, and neighbors will notify management if maximum number of guests is exceeded.
The main level has an open floor plan so as to invite everyone to enjoy expansive views of the spectacular sunset.
The fully stocked kitchen, with its open countertops, provides a spacious area to enjoy fresh caught crab or Westcott Bay oysters (Westcott Bay Oyster Farm is just a 10-minute drive from the house). Guests can enjoy a casual meal at the breakfast bar for 4, or a sit-down dinner at the Dining table for 6. The sliding glass door off the dining area leads to a deck with propane BBQ and 6-seater patio table. Enjoy a sunset drink or BBQ' d meal while enjoying the view of Snug Harbor Resort, Henry Island and Vancouver Island. (Please note, this home is not suitable for parties or large gatherings as it is located in a quiet neighborhood.)
The main floor living area offers a large flat screen TV (Roku only) which is adjacent to a cozy mood setting electric fireplace with color light display. The panoramic living room windows will offer all the San Juan Island wildlife entertainment you are longing for!
On the main floor you will find the primary California King bedroom with en suite bathroom. A deck off the primary bedroom offers a private entry for a secluded area overlooking the beach.
The downstairs of the home offers 1 bedroom and 1 additional sleeping space, both equipped with a Queen sized bed. These two rooms share a 3/4 bathroom. The downstairs also has a second living area with a flat screen TV, as well as a foosball table.
**Recommend for only highly supervised children as the deck and dock are situated close to rocks and water**
Here is a website address to a local boat rental company for those interested:
There is okay cell service at this property however there is a landline and Wi-Fi.

This home has a mini-split heat/cool pump system in the main-level dining room/living room only. However, being on the water provides a natural air conditioner when windows are opened, and the fresh sea breeze will cool the house quickly.
This is a Non-Smoking property.
The internet / Wi-fi at this house should be sufficient for streaming video, phone calls, remote work and video conferencing.

Our stay was very pleasant. The house was spacious and well equipped. The view was outstanding. Every activity we did was a short drive.
Hiking all over the island. Enjoyed the beautiful coastal scenery and spent quality time with my son
Beautiful art deco house with beach access. Very comfortable on 2 floors with beautiful ocean views and sunsets. It had all amenities that I needed. Clean, in a very good location. I will used it again.
Two families took a 30' boat from Everett, moored at the dock, and took day trips. House was perfect for the 6 of us. Fantastic views, clean, huge kitchen with prep kitchen/butler pantry, quiet, peaceful. We loved the mid century decor, too.
We will definitely be back!

The house was just perfect for our 3 couples on the island for a wedding. It is comfortable, fabulous waterfront vistas and the large great room makes hanging out together easy. The area is really quiet and serene.
We rented this home with my mother, my spouse and our 3 kids. It is an absolutely gorgeous home. We loved all the big windows and patio. The only downside was some minor uncleanliness with dishes - we had to rewash about 80% of the dishes as they were visibly dirty. I informed the property manager and they provided fair compensation for that. Overall, I would definitely stay again.

Dear Suann, thank you for taking the time to review Hoeppner's Vista. We apologize for the lack of a 6th chair, that will be resolved for future stays. You are correct, this home is older but is continuing to be updated. We hope you choose San Juan Property Management again for your future trips to San Juan Island.

Reviewer Comments:
The pros were that the view was spectacular and the location/beach/deck were perfect for our family and boat. The cons were the main freezer was broken, the cookware is low budget and MacGyvered, the dock did not have power or water, the beach storage is full of garbage and non kid friendly tools, and door handles were falling off in the house. Ultimately the owner and or property manager is not investing into the house to make it a safe and comfortable place.

The owner has updated the freezer, dishwasher and refrigerator. The kitchen has two new sauce pans and an egg frying pan. The homeowner has been updating and adding new furniture and other items to the property.

To start with this is the best place you could stay on San Juan Island. This was our 4th year and we hope to stay there many more times in the future. That said there are a few things that would be great if they could be upgraded. Starting with the deck outside the master bedroom, there is a cracked board that if you didnt see it and stood on it you might go through. The deck furniture is aged and the wooden table has no finish, fortunately I brought a tablecloth or it would would be smelling like crab for the next renter. They did replace the stools and are very nice. Overall it is a great place if you have a boat and want to enjoy the water. The view is amazing and for the most part the house is fine. Nothing fancy but thats not what you are paying for

Pretty good, noticed some ongoing disrepair in the deck/ slider area, slider bar needs replacing, same with screen, all the deck posts need replacing, its time to complete the deck between the closed signs, need better sun blocker shades for living room. The master bedroom doesn't have any airflow, its like a sauna in there compared to the rest of the house. Totally unacceptable when its hot out. At the very least you could install a ceiling fan. There is a problem with the approach plywood, needs replacing. For what we are paying I shouldn't have had to mention any of these items.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar, 2020
We are sorry to hear you did not find everything satisfactory at Hoeppner's Vista. We did our best to provide attention to the items of concern during your stay there. The master bedroom does have a sliding door that opens to the water and allows the breeze off the Bay to cool it down, if needed. This is an older home on San Juan Island, and the homeowners are continuing to improve the home as the season allows.

Reviewer Comments:
Spent 3 nights at this property and appreciated the great view. However, the house shows it’s age and overall feels very tired. We noticed the windows were dirty as soon as we walked in, overshadowing the great view. The furnishings throughout the house (couches, tables, lighting fixtures, etc) seemed very worn and dated, which did not give us the experience of “relax you’re home” vibes we get from other rental properties (including those from SJPM).The hot water from the faucets had a stink the entire weekend, which made showering very unpleasant and prompted us to use bottled water for brushing teeth, drinking, etc. In the lower level of the home, there was unfinished work particularly missing baseboards on one side of the common room with patches of mismatched paint on the wall, which gave an impression that this house wasn’t fully maintained.The electrical outlets on one wall of the mater bedroom simply did not work. This included the light switches themselves as well as the outlets, which made for an awkward experience, particularly as lighting was very poor at nighttime. The screen door to the patio fell off the track, and we had no luck getting it back on. Just another example of the house feeling poorly maintained/inspected by the owner/SJPM. Overall, we were very disappointed in this house If you don’t mind an old house which is not very inviting but has a great view, this would fit the bill ideally for a spring/summer vacation. Otherwise, there are plenty of nicer options at this price range with great views.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Feb, 2023
From your words, it sounds like the house was not to your taste and details possibly a little exaggerated. You are correct that this is not a brand-new home and is not equipped with brand new furniture. This is a comfortable, popular, cared-for, and well-equipped home with an amazing waterfront view. This home has hosted many happy guests and families. We’d like to note with the long list of dissatisfactions listed above, you did not reach out to our office or property managers for help or attention. Our office in Friday Harbor is open 7 days a week, with multiple property managers available 24 hours a day. Our 24 hour number is provided to all our guests and is posted inside the home.

The house had a great set up and we loved the view and the foosball table. The tv was tricky to navigate and Netflix was in another language. The worst part however was that the house was not clean. Hairs and a personal shampoo bottle in the shower. The downstairs bathroom floor was dirty. Plates were wet and /or dirty. Our daughter went to sleep in the downstairs bed and it was full of sand. And the most disgusting part of all was someone’s fake eyelashes stuck to a bedside lamp. I was too repulsed to remove them. Considering the large cleaning fee charged I would expect a clean house. We would not stay in this house again and would think twice about other rentals on the island if using the same cleaners.

Great location, but the house is falling apart the and the amenities are poor
The views were definitely the saving grace! Otherwise, the property is quite challenged. It felt like nearly everything was falling apart. The bar stools and kitchen table chairs were broken, the master toilet moved when you sat on it, the outside balcony felt like it could break if you leaned on it. The showers were small marine like showers, the bathroom towels were old and moldy, the toiletries were cheap, and there was no Kleenex. The kitchen lacked the basics and there is not a grocery store nearby. Overall, the quality was extremely disappointing for the very expensive price tag.
