Most Premier Whale Watching Vacation Rental Home on San Juan Island.

Wonderful, very quiet and relaxing. We really enjoyed the evening sunsets, and our weather was great for the start of fall (October 5th-10th). Saw lots of wildlife but no orcas or whales at the house, but just a 15 min. drive up north to Lime Kiln State Park and we saw Humpback Whales there on 2 different days.

Loved this cozy house on the water in the most beautiful area on San Juan Island! It was perfect for my family of 3 to soak in nature and look out at the eagles and otters as well as a humpback whale! The morning walks were so peaceful and we were always entertained by the fox family and deer families close to the house. We were close to Friday Harbor where we took several whale watching trips and kayak excursions. Mayas Legacy and San Juan Safari’s were the best!! It was the trip of a lifetime!!!!

We absolutely loved our stay at this special home! The location is perfect — peaceful and private, with a breathtaking view. We saw humpback whales, seals, and eagles, right from the back deck.The house itself was well-equipped and comfortable. We especially enjoyed mornings on the deck with coffee. We could have spent every moment of the day just taking in the view. Spectator to say the least. Our host was responsive and welcoming, and provided local tips. Highly recommend this gem if you’re looking for tranquility and nature. We travelled 14-hours to get here and it was worth every second.

this was truly the most relaxing vacation i have ever been on and it was all due to this rental. the location is secluded and private without being too remote or rough to get to - not to mention absolutely breathtaking. the host was exceptionally informative. we were even met at the airport and led to the house. this was especially nice as it was night time and the island was pitch black! the whole stay was cozy perfection. can't wait to return. :)

We had a fabulous stay! Whales, foxes, eagles, deer and a beautiful water view. Will be back!

Truly an amazing property with one of a kind views from every room inside the house and out. We saw Orcas and dolphins and seals and eagles while spending a relaxing week gazing at the sea. A very memorable experience.

loved the place and the owners!

We had a very relaxing few days enjoying this home. It was comfortable and well appointed, and a close ride to town, restaurants, hiking trails, etc. That said, we had a hard time tearing ourselves away from the relaxing deck, and ever changing views of the Haro Strait, Victoria, the Olympics. We also enjoyed seeing all the wild life that hang around - eagles, foxes, deer, sea lions, etc. Hope to get back to this special place!

Staying at Waterhouse felt a bit like stepping into a magical place. If you enjoy wildlife and peace, then this is the place for you.

The views are absolutely stunning. We saw deer, fox, otter, seals, sea lions, and eagles. We didn’t see the whales, but if they would have come by it would have been an amazing viewpoint. The water is stunning. The home is very private. The only thing that could improve the experience would be contactless check in.
