Friday Harbor, Washington
NOTE: Unavailable June 1st - August 15th, 2023
Welcome to the Round House at Madrona Cove. So named for the beautiful madrone trees located here. The Round House is a perfectly round home, on a serene piece of waterfront property just outside of Friday Harbor. Rumor has it that it was listed in earlier editions of "Best Places to Kiss in the Northwest".
The Round House features two bedrooms, each with their own Queen Sized Bed. The master bedroom features an ensuite with slate shower and the spacious guest bath boasts a tub and shower, just outside the second bedroom. Wake up to a hot cup of coffee and enjoy the view from the expansive windows overlooking the cove, or catch the sunset while soaking in the hot tub after a day of exploring.
The great room and deck are great spots for viewing wildlife. Bald Eagles are frequently seen on the property or flying overhead. Many seals call the rocks out front, home. A variety of water birds frequent the cove year-round as well. Come, be our guest and escape from the day to day and take in a piece of the island life.
The view at this property makes you think you need nothing else- but if you do need it, it is provided at The Round House. The house was spotless with all instructions clearly marked. Going in the off-season made this property perfect! It is just far enough out of Friday Harbor to enjoy the peace but convenient to all areas of the island. Great place!
I cannot say enough about the location and the property. The house was awesome and the view was amazing. Totally stocked kitchen and nothing we could have wanted that was not provided for. Clean, spacious and comfortable. On the negative side we were not informed of planned power outages which was formally announced weeks prior to our stay which effected use of overnight medical devices. The steps to the water were not usable and the deck doors which were broken some time ago were not usable. The most disappointing part was the lack of communication from the property manager. Owner should consider a different company to improve the overall experience. The owner's other contact was helpful and accessible and did assist when there was an issue with the internet due to the power outage. Would definitely stay there again in the hopes of a change in property managers.
The house is wonderful! Great views - I enjoyed sitting in the hot tub watching seals lolling on the rocks just off shore! Nicely and tastefully furnished, well stocked kitchen. We loved using the wood burning fireplace. Nice touches, like robes provided to facilitate running out to the hot tub. Comfortable beds; excellent hot water.
We loved the property! The separation from others was great...the quiet, beautiful bay was serene. We were not informed until we arrived that the deck doors were not to be used. The hot tub is great...using the jets does pop the breaker but that is easy to reset. Overall we had a lovely time and would go again!
We had a good stay. The view made up for the broken hot tube, the non working French doors and missing stairs to the beach.
The house and view were stunning. We loved all aspects of it. If i were to make any recommendations it would be that the big french doors be fixed. It was warmer while were there so to be able to open them would have been great. Other than that it was a beautiful place. Would definitely recommend to anyone to stay.
I’ve stayed here several times and I just have to say Thomas is one stellar host. Access is a breeze, the house is very well maintained, stocked to perfection and the view demands that you unwind, relax and take it all in. Every time I checkout I’m already planning my next visit!
We did enjoy our time in this truly unique house. I came home with pictures of the beautiful wood ceilings in the dome shape. It would have been nice to use the curved fireplace as the days and nights were chilly, but there was no wood or pressed logs to use, and the double doors out to the deck were unusable (under the threat of $5000 repair job on all doors, which needed to be explained). I imagine that in the summer if those doors cannot be opened, it's going to be really hot in the main room. The hot tub worked great. The stairs down to the water were roped off for no entrance. It was fun watching a seal from the front windows play in the water. We did enjoy the house and was a one-time stay there for us. We especially enjoyed the wild life on the island (the rabbits and foxes in the field by the redoubt for American camp, and the sea lion gorging himself on a giant octopus by the lighthouse on the west shore). Vinny's and Downriggers had delicious food for take out. We enjoyed the picnic tables all around the island for lunches. Don't miss doing some of the wonderful hikes on the island. Enjoy.
The house, the view, it just doesn’t get any better! We will be back again next year!
The property was idyllic, the island was lovely, the home was near amenities but in it's own world... and right on the water. You could get everything you needed in town and all the basics were on the property. I hesitate to even mention the thing that detracted because I think it was a function of being there during thanksgiving... when we arrived we could get the hot tub to work, but not the hot water... and the property manager didn't respond to our inquiry about it (again.. .thanksgiving so I wasn't shocked). The only reason I bring it up is... that was one of the things I explicitly searched for in a property, so it was a bummer that we couldn't use the hot tub during our stay. When it gets fixed... the hot tub has an AMAZING view, so I think others would really enjoy it.
Excellent kitchen well stocked. Very clean. We could stay out on the deck for days. Close to town and South Beach. We will come again!
Beautiful property, quiet and private. Kitchen is VERY well equiped for any type of cooking. Was disappointed with the access to the beach (one of the main reasons we chose this property). Property owner needs to repair the stairs to the beach access. It is unacceptable to do a PATCH REPAIR on something so important as stairs! If you would like my skills in this endeavor, call me. Thanks for the visit!
We'd stayed here in its pre-VRBO days, so excited to be able to stay again. The location and house are great. Do watch out for the doors opening to the deck though - they were out of commission when we stayed, having been damaged when they caught the wind when left open. A few extra towels would be helpful, too, if you'll be using the hot tub frequently.
Absolutely beautiful spot!
