Private Beach! Enjoy the sweeping view of Haro Strait with Vancouver Island in the backdrop from the three expansive decks. A great property to watch the whales go by. (Whale Watch Beach Retreat)

This is a great property to watch the abundant wildlife or to launch your personal kayak. With its private beach, spacious grassy yard and media room, you will not run out of activities here.

The living room on the main floor is adjacent to the dining area and kitchen, with very comfortable seating and equally stunning views of Haro Strait and Vancouver Island. (The fireplace in the living room is not for guest use.) The living room is equipped with a Smart TV and DVD player to gather around the cozy armchairs and large couches. Games and books are available as well.

The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s paradise. With a fully stocked supply of pots and pans, cutlery and spices, you also get to enjoy the spectacular water view directly from the kitchen.

The downstairs media room has a large flatscreen TV. Apple TV for streaming services is also provided on the flat screen. The media room also has a fold-out couch, full kitchen, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower. Wireless internet is available throughout the house and all of the three levels have outside seating on the deck to enjoy the beautiful sunset here on San Juan Island's Westside.

The primary bedroom encompasses the whole 3rd floor and has its own seating area with an electric fireplace and King-sized bed. The en suite bathroom is open to the bedroom so you can still enjoy the expansive view.

The other two bedrooms are located on the main floor on either side of the entry hallway and share a full bathroom, also located in that hallway. Both main floor bedrooms are equipped with a Queen bed, and one of the bedrooms also has a cozy daybed.

Enjoy morning coffee on one of the three decks, or take the stairs down to the beach to relax against a log while watching the sun set each evening.
This very comfortable home is the perfect place to enjoy the views on the westside of San Juan Island!

    What an awesome property! Loved having the beach just down the steps and an amazing view. We saw a bald eagle multiple times!

    Panoramic ocean views, with the Olympic mountains too!TV was difficult to work. Managers were very responsive and helpful. Everything you could need was in the house and the only thing we had to do when leaving was load the laundry and take out the trash!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We didn’t realize that the refridgerator had been turned down so low, so our food froze in the refridgerator the first night. The washing machine starting flooding the laundry room the day we left so we had to turn it off. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The good:The location was great, clean, directions inside were clear,pictures were accurate.The bad: no body soap in any bathrooms. Not enough towels for our party, which means we had to do multiple loads of laundry on vacation to maintain clean towels. No one wants to do laundry on vacation. Due to multiple loads for our party of 6, there was not sufficient dryer sheets. The stairs down to the beach were overgrown with thorns. 2 of our party had their shirts caught and damaged. Nothing major but items that are generally expected in rentals with regards to amenities and safe access. The view outweighed any shortcomings and would just know to bring more household items for our next visit.

    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 our second time staying at Whale Watch. The home is spacious and comfortable. It easily accommodated our group of 8 ranging from 3 years old to grandparents. By far the best feature of this home is its location on Haro Strait. The views are incredible. Everyone loved exploring the rocky beach front. We enjoyed watching river otters, seals, sea lions, harlequin ducks, and various other birds. The highlight was getting to watch J and K pods of southern resident orcas travel by for over an hour and a half. We have been fortunate to see orcas directly from the house both times we’ve stayed!!! Highly recommend this vacation rental!

    We had a lovely stay. The home was so comfortable, and a perfect layout for our family - we have two kids in the downstairs bedrooms and the upstairs bedroom was a fantastic retreat for us! The bed up there was so comfortable, I usually don't notice that one way or another, but it really stood out. The hot tub had an amazing view and was easy to use and access right from the main level. The private beach was a treat, the kids loved throwing rocks in the water and exploring. Great yard too, lots of room to play both inside and outside. Top notch place!

I stay at VRBO properties a lot and this home had more than everything that you could want to make a meal and more. I would stay here again!

    House is perfectly situated on a quiet, beautiful road overlooking the water! House is clean, spacious, bright, and was perfect for our trip! Convenient, central location on the island makes everything a short and easy drive! Booking, check-in, and check-out were all simple, with quick and clear communication start to finish. The whole experience was even better than expected!
