Waterfront Home - Watch a Sunset from the Hot Tub, Private Beach, Stunning View!

Start your trip off by flying in on Kenmore Air or by way of a beautiful ferry ride. The cabin is only 10 miles away, whether you come into the Friday Harbor ferry terminal or the Friday Harbor Airport.

At the cabin you will find all of the amenities of home and then some. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a dining table large enough to host the whole family. All of the kitchen basics such as dishes, coffee maker, and toaster are available in addition to special features like a wine cooler.

Come explore the beach and see the wildlife that visits everyday, have a barbecue and play yard games, or simply relax in the hot tub while the barges float by in the distance.

If you are looking to retreat indoors, curl up on the couches with a book or have a game night at the large family-sized table. There is plenty of seating for the whole group and you're able to enjoy the priceless view of the bay through the surrounding windows.
This cabin is designed for you to step away from technology and relax, take a walk along the waterfront, let the kids play on the play set, cook a gourmet meal in the kitchen, or simply watch the sunset over Henry Island while relaxing in the hot tub.

There are many adventures to be had and much exploring to be done during your stay. On the island you will find: San Juan Zip Tour, The Whale Museum, Pelindaba Lavender Farm, San Juan Island Distillery, Bocce Ball Courts, the English Camp, Lime Kiln Point State Park Interpretive Center, Horseshu Guest Ranch, tours ranging from whale watching to sailing, and much more!


**Pack n' Play and Highchair are available for your stay upon request for the little ones - please request at time of booking.**

Beautiful location and views, but prepare to do your own laundry and dishes to start your stay.
The location is fantastic, the property has amazing views, and the house is super cozy. The issue we had was upon arrival, the beds weren't made, just some sheets dumped on the beds. The other half of the sheets were in the dryer, and the towels were in the washing machine wet. Not awesome for a 11pm arrival. The dishwasher hadn't been unloaded, many of the dishes were dirty as were the pans. But, other than having to wash and clean before we started our holiday, everything else about the property was great. Hot tub was nice on the cool evenings. Also - not in the description - no Wifi. You're on the border with Canadian signal or no signal at all, so make sure you are prepared.

Little House. Deep Quiet. Primo Location
My wife and I were looking for a place to celebrate our 40th anniversary. We booked this so far in advance that I honestly cannot recall how we settled on San Juan Island or what filters we used that led us to the "Westcott Bay Little House" but we won the lottery with this one. First, the location of the property is ideal. While there are neighbors on both sides you would not know they were there the way the property is landscaped. (Okay, the ongoing construction next door let us know they were there, but we were out most days so it was NBD.) Down a winding driveway with an expansive yard that runs to the bay. It is also located on the best side of the island. about a 5 minute drive to Roche Harbor, which is much more laid back than Friday Harbor, the main town. Literally across the bay from the Westcott Bay Shellfish Company, and on the same since of the island as the English Camp and Lime Kiln State Park and Lighthouse. When you want seclusion, it is the deepest quiet I have heard in years. No phone. No Internet (but very good Wi-Fi if you want it through Airalo and T-Mobile). The only mechanical sound is the the hum of the hot tub motor. Lots of wildlife (deer, fox, and Black Oystercatchers, for a few). The house was immaculately clean with every appliance and cooking utensil one might need. Open the large windows and the cross-ventilation is better than air conditioning. So much more to add, but for some reason VRBO has a 1500 character limit.

Perfect Location
My children and I spent a glorious five days at the house. The location was perfect. The long driveway provided privacy and you hardly even see the neighboring houses. The pictures do not do this home justice. My kids enjoyed the huge yard when not exploring the beach. So many little quiet spots to sit and watch the water and wildlife. The house itself was well equipped for a week’s stay. Great size for a small family. We loved being close enough to Roche Harbor to easily go over for lunch or to swim in their pool. Definitely get a reservation to eat at Westcott Bay Shellfish Company which is visible across the bay from the yard. Top ten meals of my life!

Beautiful but Not Clean!
Love the Location - However there was Dead bugs that I swear were the same ones from last year! Hot Summer and absolutely No windows left open at check-in and also NO FANS! Wet Towels/Sheets left in Washing Machine - Dishes in Dishwasher - NO ICE in Icemaker! Oven was Disgusting as were the Floors ( Dust /Hair/Dead Bugs ) Even so - the location and views were spectacular so we went to book for next year ( same dates ) and those were already gone! We will need to find another place to celebrate our Anniversary . . .

Lovely, comfortable home with beautiful views
We stayed her for a long weekend and enjoyed it immensely. The views are amazing and the house is comfortable. We slept well in the beds, too. Deer roam the property and were fun to watch. The steps down to the beach are safe and sturdy. You do want to watch little ones here, as there are a couple of unguarded drops, but that’s to be expected. Our dog passed just before our holiday, devastatingly, but she would have loved it, too.

Fabulous
The house and property were a dream come true. Our two littles and us three adults had the most amazing time watching birds and even a sea otter from the window, exploring the beach, and going in the hottub at night. The kitchen was massive with everything we needed to make breakfasts and snacks. The books left were a delight to read to the kids at night. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

The views from this home were second to none! We loved enjoying the views from the house and by wondering down to the water to explore. The kitchen is well stocked with all the essentials, and the living space is generous. As advertised, the wifi is spotty which allowed us to fully unplug and relax.

Incredible getaway
We enjoyed our stay at this property! It was furnished with everything we could need. Very cozy and private. The views are incredible. We loved the wildlife and nature right outside our door. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. We would definitely love to return to San Juan island and stay at this property again.

Bucolic seaside setting
What is not to love about a sparkling ocean view and peaceful setting? We enjoyed the location of the property so much, and aside from a bit of construction work being done on one of the properties, it was very quiet. House had all of the essentials we needed (we didn't cook, so I can't speak for the kitchen equipment), and beds were comfortable enough for us. We enjoyed being a bit secluded and the drives along the coast to the various parks or on Roche Harbor Road into Friday Harbor. We'd definitely recommend the property, though maybe not to families with young kiddos or people needing wifi or better mobile phone access. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. It was so restful and lovely! Julie and Bob

Enviable location
Everything was accurate to listing- but dont get your hopes up about wifi. Not sure why Starlink hasnt been offered here as a point of safety as cell coverage is also spotty. A better drive marker would be helpful for evening arrivals. Otherwise excellent guide book should also include operation of the heating for those of us who are unfamiliar. Be aware neighbours are watching the property and will pop in. Island is great to explore for a couple days and yes, the sunsets from the clean & warm hot tub are STUNNING! A real gem.

Beautiful view, great hot tub
Had a nice family trip but the lack of wireless cell or internet coverage was a challenge for communicating and looking up the online door code and general check in instructions. Would have preferred a safer door lock option on the home and a little less intense rules about checking in and out. I thought the garage would have some bikes or kayaks in it, but it did not. The view is beautiful, the hot tub is fantastic and the stay was nice for 3 days, although I don’t think I’d stay there again.

Beautiful spot
The location on the water is fantastic and very private. We went out on our own SUPs. The great room has a great view with all the glass, though some of the panels have failed. This is obviously an old house, so I didn't expect miracles. The furnishings were nice enough, if not as nice as what was in the online photos (the pictured flowering plants outside had also been removed.) Supplied linens and tools were fine. Spa was nice to have but noisy and we had to find a way to turn it off at night as it is not on a clock timer to keep if off while sleeping. Very annoying. The updated Ikea kitchen was fine. The bedrooms and bath however are very, very tiny. Biggest issue was ventilation. It was quite warm as it is built like a greenhouse, and quite challenging to get bedrooms aired out. The grass needed cutting and an actual walkway from the parking area to the door would have been MUCH appreciated!

Our happy place
This was our fourth trip to stay at this cottage on Westcott Bay and as usual, it is just the best. Simple, beautiful landscape and accommodations. The kids always love playing on the beach, digging for clams and catching hermit crabs. We love the solitude, the walking/running/biking trails in and around Roche Harbor. It's the sort of vacation we repeat because it serves as our happy place throughout the year.

Fun place to stay
For the most part it was amazing. We got to see almost all of the wildlife except for the fox. Ieven got a small glimpse of a whale pod. We enjoyed the town and the whole island. As far as the house is concerned, it could use some love. The first thing we noticed were the broken window frames and missing window screens. The Adirondack chairs arm rests broke off exposing rusty nails. The walls could use paint and they could make the effort to get new puzzles. At least two had a missing pieces. For the price we paid, all of the ameneties can definitely be taken care of. We might be back if they did any upkeep.
