Peaceful retreat
We spent a week in this beautiful home with our 2 kids and my mother-in-law. It was lovely to be able to enjoy the beach, the wildlife (deer, river otters, seals and herons) and the sunsets! The home is beautiful, lots of daylight and views and felt very cozy. We enjoyed making meals in the well-stocked kitchen. Thank you for creating such a welcoming space for our family!

Wonderfully situated and comfortable
Loved the house's appearance and its situation poised right above Horseshoe Bay. Quite private, down a beautiful one-lane road. Having two bedrooms upstairs, each with bath, was prefect for us. Our only complaint: no coffee (though they had tea and hot cocoa). That required an inconvenient trip to Roche Harbor on our way to dinner elsewhere.

Great View,
The view from every window is spectacular, we enjoyed watching otters seals, Blue Heron, and a family of raccoons down by the water edge for hours during our stay. We found the house to be very clean and something comfortable However, we did find that the dining room table and chairs were a little bit uncomfortable Other than that, we had a spectacular time

Return to Friday Harbor
11 years ago we sold our home in Friday Harbor And this was our first return to the island. Not much has changed, but what has only makes it better. We rent a lot of vacation homes and this one is at the top of our list. Not only were the views stunning, but the home has many comfortable places to stop, sit and enjoy. The condition of the home was amazing and we hope to return soon.

Great get away!
This was a perfect house for two couples. Beautiful, clean and loved the remote location for privacy and quiet but easy access to anything you might want to do. Kitchen was the best equipped kitchen of any house we have ever rented. Highly recommend to anyone considering visiting the San Juan Island!

Magical!
I would stay here again! The place is located in a magical spot ( no beach access) but the view and sunsets are awesome! Pros - private, very well stocked with essentials, easy check in and out and very sharp knifes!! Cons: both sofas need upgrades, lots of ants, only one 1/2 roll of paper towels Thank you

Horseshoe Bay Rental
Fantastic place. Very clean and well provisioned. Great location on San Juan Island. Very quiet and a beautiful setting. I will add that I thought the $400 cleaning fee was excessive considering we paid $300 a night for 3 days. This property does not have water access either. I’d strongly recommend to stay here, just be aware of all the additional costs for this rental. The additional fees totaled what we paid for a 3 night stay.

A View Equal to Ten Years of Therapy!
This is my second time renting from a San Juan Property Management VRBO on San Juan Island and I have to say they do an excellent job! Both times the check instructions were sent to us twice to be sure we got them. And both times, although we were informed that we could not check in early due to extra cleaning prep, we were texted several hours early and advised our house was ready. I can’t say HOW MUCH I appreciate that. It’s just over the top great customer service! The house itself is set way back on a secluded road and was just ridiculously beautiful- the view was worth ten years of therapy! I loved the minimalist decor Amd the attention to details like the soaps and plush towels. Just a phenomenal rental. I would never leave this house if it were mine!!!!’

Listing is not accurate
First. The home has some appeal but you cannot use any outdoor beach access at all and limited to a very small space to sit only. It is incredibly hard to be on the water, not have access or be able to walk anywhere. You are literally stuck in the home when you are there. It was also not very clean.

Pleasant surprise
We didn’t know what to expect when we booked this home, but we’re more than pleasantly surprised. Having never been to San Juan Island, we were uncertain of the location, but it was great. This home is in a really quiet area. We were amazed at how quiet it was while being pretty close to everything. The house is super clean and modern. We had a really nice and comfortable stay with great views toward the water. It was a lovely stay and we would encourage you to visit this property if you come to San Juan Island.
