This classic home located on the South end of the island is a perfect getaway for a small family or two couples (Eagle Cove Lookout)

Guests will find themselves just minutes from a few of the most gorgeous beaches San Juan Island has to offer. Directly across the street from this home is the local-favored 'Eagle Cove' beach. A short hike down the beautiful forest trail will lead to an open, sandy beach perfect for sunbathing, beach games, and tidepool exploring.

Other beautiful beaches adjacent to this area include South Beach, Jackle's Lagoon and Third Lagoon, 4th of July Beach, or the Cape San Juan Lighthouse Beach. All are located within a 5-minute drive of this home.

Downtown Friday Harbor is a 15-minute drive from this location.

The open concept of the living room is a great place for the family to enjoy a movie on the Smart TV or play one of the many board games the home offers. The feeling of being at your grandma's house is all around with the retro kitchen and wood panel ceiling. The nostalgia is felt in epic proportions. Comfortable, cozy and a great home to play game and be with family.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all the supplies needed to make a great meal together. The kitchen has a collection of small appliances to make meal prep even easier during your relaxing vacation. This home is equipped with a standard, drip-style coffee maker. Enjoy the outdoor propane BBQ while grilling and playing in the spacious yard.

The primary king bedroom boast many books and an outdoor deck, along with a propane fireplace for chillier San Juan evenings.

The queen bedroom offers a desk and spacious closet.

The living room couch is also a modern convertible bed, perfect for kids to stretch out on.

Nice but dated
It’s a nice place, quiet and lovely area. Well equipped kitchen to make dinners etc. Beds are comfortable. The hosts even let our small (crated) dog come with us last minute as our dog sitter got sick. The beach across the way is amazing!! The musty smell is unwelcome for allergy sufferers. We had an issue with a fire alarm going off and that could be remedied by changing batteries more often, since it’s a vrbo. The handle in the shower is a rusted wrench that makes it seem the vrbo is not well maintained. Lastly, the ratings are deceptively high, there is the same 4 star rating listed over and over when this listing is a 2 star hotel at best.

The place is comfortable and modestly furnished without clutter. The deck at the front is a great place to read and relax. I would definitely go back to this unit again.

Great location, needs updating
Excellent location and very quiet. The house has not been updated at all and is straight out of the early 80s. Persistent smell of mothballs. Terrible pots/pans considering the price per night. We won’t be returning to this house but definitely will return to the beach.

Delightful island charm
My family of 5 absolutely loved staying here. Perfect location. We loved our time on the beach. So convenient. Just as advertised. Very clean. Very responsive. Well stocked with towels. The structure and design has the charm of Pacific Northwest island, which is part of the experience…not meant for modern chic. We absolutely recommend

Dated but real nice
The house is dated but real nice. Well supplied and comfortable. Windows we’re open and fans going was very comfortable the minute we walked in. We didn’t know the windows were one way Windows that makes it hard for people outside to see in so with no window covers first night was uneasy sleeping.

Beautiful location, but the home was not as advertised
The location of the home was stunning and just across the street from the trail to Granny's Cove. The home itself was the pretty typical "island" home and was dated, but very spacious. When I booked the place it said that it slept 6 people. Come to find out, this was false advertising. There are two queen beds and then another bed in a loft, but you cannot get up there. So, it actually sleeps 4 people. We had 5 in our party and I was left to sleep on the couch in the living room. This couch did NOT have a pull out bed. In addition, the living room is full of windows, but know blinds or drapes, so the cars driving by at night and the light on the garage kept the living room lit up. Essentially, I did not sleep well the entire time. Had I know the sleeping arrangements I would not have booked. Lastly, There we not extra paper towels or garbage bags, so I borrowed from the neighbor so we could actually clean the place upon departure.

I’d rather stay at the hotel from “The Shining”
We walked into this house, which hasn’t been updated for at least 20 years, and were smacked in the face by the worst pungent, musty smell ever. Despite opening windows (of which there are few - the windows you see in the living room do not open) and turning on fans, it didn’t dissipate. Our son, who has environmental allergies and reacts to mold, was coughing, hoarse and complaining of a sore throat within about 30 minutes. While visually clean, there is only so much you can do about furniture, cabinetry, flooring AND dishes (!) from 1980. Even the refrigerator is an original. For the amount this place is charging, they could afford to put a little money into the home. After 3 hours, we couldn’t take it anymore and paid another place double just to salvage our time in San Juan. We have rented homes through VRBO for 10+ years and have never written a bad review. We were so disappointed with this place that we had to warn others.

Comfortable & Quiet Abode
Loved the adjacency to the San Juan Island National Historical Park - great running trails begin just steps away from the house! We had a very nice stay. Keep in mind that this property isn't on the water, it's across the street (i.e. there's a single row of homes in between you and the beach). We mistakenly thought from photos that we would have water views from the house, which isn't the case, but it's still a great location and very close to Eagle Cove Beach. Property manager was very responsive and helpful. House was well stocked with kitchen supplies, etc. WiFi was pretty good.

The property was not very well equipped for cooking and generally haggling but I feel if a little money was spent on pans and utensils it would be more we had to purchase our own bottle opener it’s jus not a very comfortable homre, their are skylights everywhere which wake you up at the crack of dawn,,it was very hard to sleep in fact we left a day early jus to get a better nights sleep it’s very expensive for what you get We just had two weeks in Kauai and both out accommodations were superior and cheaper than this our accommodation were of a higher standard and less expensive. Definitely will return to the island but NOT this property

a few suggestions
We loved the location and the house worked out great. It was a great place for us to enjoy San Juan. Suggestions would be to improve bathroom products. The body soap was old and diluted, smelled terrible. There was shampoo but no conditioner. Sheets were old and thin. Otherwise, all was well. We would gladly rent the property for a future stay. Thanks so much.

We loved staying at this home! It's extremely close to trails and the water, and while its nearby other homes, feels very private. The double-wide bathtub is amazing! Excellent place to unwind.

Nice and quiet location, but very old bathroom/shower
The house was clean and spacious, with everything you need inside - kitchen fully equipped with a lot of utensils, outdoor patio table and chairs, not issues with the running hot water. The bad: (1) the shower leaks water outside, and it is not very comfortable to use and (2) there is not propane grill, only a charcoal grill, and with the fire restrictions on the island you cannot grill! Also AT&T and T-Mobile signal is on and off around the property area, but there is internet (which was down for one day) and a smart TV easy to use.
