    The house was clean and the view was amazing!The kitchen was adequate. I understand not putting nice things in a rental but, dull knives and no serving spoons.Despite those two items, we will be back!Loved the peace and quiet! Probably much different in the summer.

    Perfect location on San Juan Island for relaxing with a nice view. Morning coffee on the back patio facing the bay. The bed was comfortable & the space was great for the 2 of us. Had everything we needed to cook breakfast on the days we were there.Clean property and quiet neighborhoods.

    Stay was perfect except the mattress seriously needs to be replaced. A giant fluffy pillow does not work when the other amenities are perfect. We would love to return but can’t unless the mattress is replaced.

    Great location! It was extremely quiet there and Roche Harbor was nearby with several restaurants. The British Camp is across the bay and there was great hiking there. The unit was clean and right on the water.

    Wonderful little cabin! Gorgeous view of the water and beautiful, sceanic area! It was a very lovely and cozy stay. One surprise was that although a dishwasher is listed and present, there is a sign saying that we couldnt use the dishwasher and had to handwash the dishes which I been hoping to avoid. Overall lovely trip and highly recommend!

    This place was easy to get to and during this time of year felt like it was out of the way like the area was all to ourselves. Gorgeous views of the small bay and English Camp. Close to Roche Harbor. Place was clean and cozy. Plenty of birds to watch. We intend to come back again!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for a week in November and had a great time. The location is wonderful! It is really calming to see the tides come in and out, watch otters, seals, kingfishers out of the window while enjoying a morning coffee. The place is well equipped I would say, but some things are missing (e.g. a tea pot), and the kitchen utensils are starting to show their age. Potable water is limited on the island, so this is not the place to go if you want many long hot showers. We really liked it, would definitely stay there again.

    We loved the location! Right on Garrison Bay overlooking English camp. So peaceful and clean. Loved the patio and getting to eat breakfast and dinner and have a glass of wine in such a beautiful setting. Very quiet for the most part. The home was quite small but still larger than your standard hotel/motel room and so much more inviting. We would love to stay here again.

The location was very picturesque and relaxing - we loved watching the seals in the bay and the resident kingfisher bird on the dock. The cabin had excellent amenities and a great layout. We did a lot of cooking and it was nice to have the full kitchen as well as the grill outside. It's very quiet and secluded; a very peaceful and relaxing vacation! It's a beautiful area and we'd love to visit again.

    Great stay at the cabin! It was secluded, clean and cozy. Lots of time watching seals play around in the water and checking out the birds. They had binoculars which made the bird and seal watching much more enjoyable. Close enough to drive to the other things on the island as well. Room for 2 adults comfortably.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We adored this cottage, its location, and proximity to wildlife. We wanted an authentic experience, not the touristy hubbub of Friday Harbor, and we found it here. The cottage itself is compact and quaint but had everything we needed. It is located next to the owner’s residence but we never felt intruded upon or intrusive to their home. They were friendly when we saw them which was rarely.gorgeous sunrises, sailboats in the harbor, beautiful water views made for an amazing setting. We very much enjoyed the wildlife - harbor seals, a family of river otters and countless birds - as we had morning coffee or sipped an evening glass of wine. This is not close to the main attractions or restaurants but if you are seeking solitude and natural beauty, you will find it here.

    This property and location fit exactly what we wanted and needed. The view is breathtaking from inside the cabin and the patio is amazing!! There is plenty to do on the island if that is what you are wanting. If you want to escape and just relax, this is the perfect location. Look forward to coming back next year.
