About this property

Secluded House Near Eagle Cove! (IR)

This sunny, private and spacious home with plenty of space to sleep 8. At the south end of San Juan Island, is a perfect getaway for both the outdoor enthusiast or relaxed traveler. (Island Retreat)

This beautifully decorated and well-appointed vacation home provides all the comforts needed while on San Juan Island. As soon as you open the front door, you will notice how much care has gone into making this home warm, convenient and all about relaxation and fun in one of the region’s most sought-after locations for getting away from it all. This home is located within a close walk to one of the island's best sandy beaches and the many trails at American Camp, as well as a 5-minute drive to South Beach, a local favorite spot with built-in County-approved fire pits for summer s'mores and BBQing. This property is perfectly situated for those who are wanting to be island active or looking forward to some peaceful island living.

The open floor plan is laid out with the kitchen, dining room, media room, living room and 3/4 bath (shower, sink, toilet) all on the main level. There is also a sleeping room with Queen bed on the main level; perfect for those not wanting to use stairs. The living room features comfy sofas, high ceilings and great lighting from the many windows with southern exposure. The dining room is connected to the kitchen and features seating for six with additional chairs plus a restaurant-style booster chair for tiny travelers. The counter bar has seating for four and sits just between the dining and kitchen areas.

The kitchen has all the appliances necessary including a microwave, coffee maker, coffee grinder, toaster, crock pot and is well-equipped with all the essentials for meal preparation, so everyone can enjoy cooking together in this spacious and open kitchen.

The upstairs boasts 3 bedrooms and "the kids' room" (3 Queen beds and 1 Bunk Bed), two bathrooms, and a yoga room/office for your enjoyment.

Children will enjoy running around in the spacious yard and playing on the swing set. Once the sun goes down, you can sit under the stars while roasting marshmallows and enjoying the outdoor fire pit (off season use only).

Fire pits are not usable from May 1st-September 30th due to county burn ban and safety of property and neighboring areas. Ban is usually lifted October 1st if/when conditions and weather are favorable. Firewood not provided.

This home has Central Air/ Air Conditioning. There are portable fans provided, however, opening a few doors and windows are adequate to cool down the home on a warm day.

Yard work can take place throughout the month.

Cell phone service is fair at this property, and long-distance calling is allowed on the landline at no charge. The Wi-Fi connection is also adequate for making phone calls on your personal cell.

Spring Break 2025

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing trip to the San Juan Islands for spring break. Getting to the island on the ferry was magical and when we pulled up to the home, it was everything we expected. We have a large family with six kids and the home easily accommodated beds for everyone and room for our family to move around. I the house was about 10 minutes south of Friday Harbor so easily accessible and with hiking and beach vistas so close we didn’t travel far from the home. We would definitely stay here again.

Great experience

We loved staying at this property! It was very clean and well stocked with towels and other supplies. Plenty of space for our party of 8 to sleep. The yard is a perfect size for kids to run around and play and the location of the house is walking distance to Eagle cove beach and American camp. Overall we had a great stay!

American Camp area rental

I am very familiar with San Juan Island so I was pleased to find a spacious rental for my family to attend a gathering on the island. There are very few rental houses available with five separate sleeping areas to accommodate an extended family. The yard was large and level and good for small kids to play safely. It was walking distance from American Camp, Eagle Cove, Grandma's Cove and even South Beach (about 2 miles) if you are a walker. We had some trouble with the dishwasher and the property management sent someone out immediately to help with the problem. A view of the water was the only thing that was missing.

Beautiful and Peaceful Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a beautiful setting, and the house absolutely exceeded our expectations. There was plenty of space for our family — actually five bedrooms. We loved being close to Eagle Cove and South Beach, but on SJI you’re always close enough to everything. When we return to Friday Harbor, we definitely plan to return here.

Great location with room to spread out

The property is as described, a secluded getaway that’s super close to Eagle Cove beach and American Camp, but to be honest everything is close on an island. the house was appointed well with a rustic feel. The furniture is getting along in the years, but comfy. The outdoor space is great for kids to run around and we made use of the fire pit and grill outside. We saw a couple deer walking through the backyard in the morning. We were traveling with me, my wife, 11yo daughter, 9yo son, 6yo son, and 76yo mother. Mom appreciated the ground floor accommodations. My only recommendation to the owner is to make sure all rugs have the non-slip mats underneath. A couple in the main bedroom almost got me.

Great house, great walks

Overall, we loved the house and our stay…. The house was comfortable, comfortable for family to spread out and relax — as well as to come together for meals and hanging out. The house is located within short peaceful walks to the beach and to American Camp. Good Thanksgiving. Our one concern was the mattress in the primary bedroom…..very uncomfortable. We were a small group so we could choose other beds…with a new mattress there, this would be ideal for our family… (we usually expect an additional person or two…)

Lovely Property

I loved how quiet the property was. It is kind off the beaten path, but that was one of the things I loved about it. It's also really close to a great beach that would be perfect for small kids. It was a beautiful house that was really peaceful and spacious with a great front porch that is perfect for your morning coffee!

The Perfect San Juan Island Experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were so pleasantly surprised by how perfect this home was for a group of six women getting away for a few days. It was so secluded and private and yet close to everything we wanted to do. The home was very cozy and immaculate. The wildlife that would stroll by the large windows were so enjoyable. We highly recommend this rental.

Fantastic family vacation home

This was a 3-generation family vacation, ranging in age from 7 to 75. The house was perfect. Lots of room for all of us. The yard and deck were great for relaxing. We saw deer and foxes in the yard. Star watching from the lawn late at night was spectacular. The location is outstanding, close to everything but quiet and serene. We went to American Camp just down the road several times to spot wildlife and enjoy the beach at Grandma’s Cove. The house itself is well equipped, very clean, and beds were comfortable. We liked everything about this place and would recommend it highly as a delightful vacation home. Thank you to the owners for sharing your lovely home with us.

Great house for a family!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great. There were 8 of us with plenty of sleeping room and plenty of room to spread out around the house, great sized kitchen where we could all cook and eat together. The house was only a 10-15 minute drive from downtown Friday Harbor, and was also a 10-ish minute walk to the American Camp trails or to Eagle Cove Beach. Wifi worked really well too, and although cell coverage was spotty throughout parts of the island, Wifi calls worked perfect from the house.
