San Juan Island, Three Coves Hideaway #111

We had a fantastic time at Three Coves Hideaway. It was a really lovely house exactly as advertised. Great views. San Juan Island is awesome and it's really easy to get anywhere on the island. Had a blast!

We enjoyed the beauty of this location. There is a deck with a fire pit just outside the great room. The billiard table upstairs provided lots of entertainment. The gas stove offered a few challenges and the electricity in the down stairs bathroom may be on a timer. Missing handles need to be replaced on the master bathroom shower and the deck needs minor maintenance. The property manager was helpful and offered immediate assistance. This is a lovely home that provides space and location for a group to have a wonderful time.

My husband and I stayed here with our daughter, son-in-law and their two children. The house fit our needs perfectly. While there are a few maintenance items that need attending, the house as described. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and large. We cooked most of our meals there and very much enjoyed eating out on the deck. The view is spectacular from dining area, living room and deck. And, the easy access to the beach was great. We took our kayaks and paddle boards to the water via the county park next door. We had a terrific time! I would recommend.

We (family of six adults) spent a week here in July 2023. Terrific views of Puget Sound and long-range view of Victoria Island. The island (San Juan) is essentially a rural island with a couple of population centers - Friday Harbor / small town and Roche Harbor is really just a resort with a few stores. Great hikes nearby. English Camp my fav. For the property itself - it was terrific. Big, lots of amenities. Kitchen is well stocked (except could use a couple of frying pans of reasonable size). The fire table is great. Fire pit could not be used when we were there due to county fire restrictions. There is a county park right next door and you'll occasionally hear some campers or parties of locals. Not too big a deal but the noise is there. The driveway is a challenge. Very steep and loose gravel. We had a heavy van and had to get some momentum going up the hill to make it onto the road. Not for the faint of heart:) They have an electronic keyboard - with a couple of song books. Fun. Billiard table is a fine one. Could have used some screens in the upstairs loft. 2 were completely missing. For some reason the bottom two bedrooms are very cold. We couldn't figure that one out. Lots of board games and books - fun. The deck is glorious - spent a lot of time there. We were very thankful for Leila from Northwest Island Escapes who answered our requests, provided supplies and even did our laundry when machines were down. Pricey? Yes. Great place.

Great house with plenty of room for 7 adults. We loved our stay on the island!!! Highly recommend the house and the island to other vacationing families. Pros: - view and outside deck with grill and propane fire pit - comfortable beds - 3 bathrooms - indoor fire place - plenty of seating for everyone Cons: - while there were a lot of kitchen items most were very used, to the point of being unusable now. Everything is very spread out over many cabinets and drawers so we found ourselves searching for things often. There was everything you didn’t need and not a lot of what you do. That being said, we were able to cook every dinner there with some change in the normal pot or pan.

This home and location was perfect! We had 4 adults and 4 kids. There was plenty of room and plenty for the kids to do. The view from the deck was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to come back. We highly recommend this home!

All 1 star only because I had tp put something in the box. I would of LOVED to stay at this property. I STILL would lOVE to stay there. That said - we made reservations Dec 8 2021 for a stay Mar 19-23, 2022. There were problems with the home (water damage) and although the damage was apparently discovered by the owner and the rental agency we were NOT informed before our departure. We had a message a few days prior to March 18 stating that the rental would be available March 19th as planned. Then we were told the rental was not available on March 18 as were driving from Montana to Washington. MARCH 18th!!!! WHILE WE WERE HALF WAY TO THE LOCATION! Distressing doesn't begin to describe how we felt - 7 of us in transit - children out of school - months of planning and a last minute oops. I know things happen and there are things that cannot be controlled but apparently the parties knew there was a problem and gave no indication to us of any issues until the last minute. A message that our rental was no longer available. WHAT?! Very very very disappointing! Then the company gave us 1 option - 1 option in an outdated, smaller, less desireable location. Talk about destroying a long planned out vacation and making us feel like what we wanted was insignificant. We were expected to just settle for the 1 place on their portfolio. As a client I felt helpless and let down. So much to say but what would be the point?! Whole experience was horrible.

Everything was good, the view is beautiful. What we weren’t prepared for was walking into a house that was 83 degrees hot, with out a/c, no beeeze etc. when we searched we specifically chose ac as two in the party have medical issues with heat. Needs to be corrected. They brought two fans over and night time was fine, however we couldn’t sit inside during the day. Recommend thicker pillows, instructions for the tv, advertise no ac. Also this property is next to a state park camp ground. Views were beautiful.

We loved this house for our family stay. We were four adults, one infant, and two dogs. The house was set up for both communal enjoyment and privacy. The kitchen/dining/living room is spacious and well supplied with cookware, seating, and dishes. The outdoor deck was a great hangout and we ate all our dinners outside, watching glorious sunsets. Access to the beach was easy, though the beach is not sandy. We visited the park grass area and beach cove morning and evening. The only bathtub is in the master bath, so if you need to wash small children, be prepared to share. Only thing we could’ve wished for was a sharp knife in the kitchen.

The location was exceptional, the property was clean, however it was not well-maintained. The views and walks to the park brought joy to the entire family. The home is spacious and well laid out. There are too many ‘repair needed’ issues to mention all of them. The cabinet doors in the kitchen are falling off, broken handle on the fireplace. The kitchen is well appointed, however many of the supplies are dirty, stained, and frankly need to be thrown out and replaced. Two things need immediate attention. 1. The master bedroom hazardous change in flooring level. I missed it and twisted my ankle, my 91 year old Dad fell and was injured!! 2. The Waldo room smells of mildew and pet urine. Nothing improved the smell even leaving the window open all day.
