This private, 3-bedroom house is the perfect getaway for boaters and those who just want to relax and enjoy the island.

Beautiful and quiet location

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: The driveway is dreamy and the home is warm ! I loved the bedrooms are so far from each other but still two on the main floor both come with bathrooms right off of them with access from the hallway and also bedroom. The view is gorgeous and changes throughout the day and the property makes you feel like you’re out in the woods I loved staying here

Beautiful Cozy Stay

The house location is gorgeous! The views upon walking into the house are even better than pictured online. We enjoyed just gazing out the window at the beauty, and being able to walk on the dock was icing on the cake. The kitchen was well stocked with the essentials and then some, and laundry room was above and beyond and all the beds were cozy with warm duvets. Super clean too. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Phenomenal house

We loved our stay at this beautiful home. The view is spectacular, and the property is tranquil. We stayed here as two families with two children under 2 years old, and the setup was perfect. The kitchen was well appointed, the house was clean, and the host was very responsive. Thank you and we will be back!

Stunning view

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We did adventure everyday, but enjoyed the views when we were at the houseFirst bedroom bed okay, second bedroom mattress needs replacing, absolutely horribleKitchen organization a mess, you take had to look in every drawer and cupboard because items weren't grouped together.All cupboards full so no where to put groceriesCleaning crew could amp up their attention to details in kitchen cabinets and drawersTelescope we just put away in the corner as it's in the middle of the living room and it's not high qualitySince animal, maybe raccoon, chewed off the bungee cord to outdoor trash can and made a terrible mess of the bags of garbage which was painful to clean up, we kept it in the laundry room after that. A maintenance worker showed up while we were out one day without notification. He told us he came to fix the stairs but then had to leave after we came back because he didn't have the material to repair it. Sort of weird because he came out there without being prepared?Doors need magnets because they don't stay openNo area or room to store shoes where you're supposed to take off as you enter. No entry wayWe used dining room for shoes coats etcOne tiny TV in living room, Wi-Fi spottyWe loved the use of washer dryerWe tried sweeping up after ourselves, no dust panBaking pans super rusty, long overdue for being replaced.Ended up just being okay

WE LOVED IT!

We stayed at this lovely spot for 2 nights and 3 days. It was impeccably clean and totally stocked with everything you would need for your stay. The views alone are a reason to stay there. The backdrop you get of the water and all the wildlife ,which come to say hello is breathtaking. We were able to say hello to a sea otter on the dock and good morning to the deer as they passed through the yard. The beds were comfortable as well as all the furniture in the home. If you forget something, no need to worry, the house is so well stocked for your stay, you will most likely find what you need. We would definitely stay there again as we enjoyed our time so much.. You are far away, so the wifi service is slow, but we enjoyed this, as we were there to get away from our phones and spend time together. They had plenty of games for kids and families to enjoy and a grill out back. The back yard at night is great for staring at the stars and enjoying a glass of wine. We also appreciated the owners did not leave a long list of chores for us to complete upon check out. We have a stayed in many places who charge a considerable feel and then ask us to do a list of chores as well. Here, we just needed to take out the trash and put a load in the washer. It was nice to have the owners respect the amount of money they ask for cleaning and not put this on us. The island is small enough that you are close proximity to everywhere. I think from where we stayed to the south end ,it was about 45 minutes. Overall, you can tell the hosts truly care about the people staying there and their comfort level. You can also tell this is a home well loved and cared for by the owners. We will definitely come again. We had such a lovely time. Things to consider ( which didn't bother us, but in case you were wondering): -no full curtains on bedroom windows, which makes for an early rise if the sunlight wakes you up. -loose middle board on the dock, so be mindful if you bring children down to take in the view -check in is not till 4pm

Peaceful & Comfortable Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were wanting a peaceful getaway & Rendezvous Retreat certainly delivered. Waking up to the phenomenal views every morning was such a beautiful way to start the day. The weather was wonderful and we enjoyed walking the property and going down to the dock every day. The home was very comfortable, and the only negative was the coffee maker/pot was too small. Highly recommend Rendezvous Retreat!

From the cleanliness of the house to the access to a private dock we couldn't have asked for more. The only downside was the freezer wouldn't get cold enough to keep our food frozen.

Seafood lover's dream

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: The view from this property is truly exceptional. Sunsets were a dazzling daily experience. If you wait until it gets fully dark, this is a good location to view bioluminescence at the dock (activate by swirling the water). We also saw a family of river otters. Live crab, live shrimp, and very fresh fish are available at seafood markets on the docks at both Roche Harbor and Friday Harbor, as well as fresh shellfish from nearby Westcott Bay. We bought all of these on different days and prepared incredible meals at the house, which is very well equipped in the kitchen and has abundant tableware for a group.Sad to leave!

Quiet, well-appointed home with a beautiful view

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: We stayed here for three nights in May during a spell of great weather. The location was a bit remote but nothing is really remote on San Juan. The house itself was very clean, well-appointed (moreso than other Vrbos we have used). And the views were beautiful from the back deck. The dock was a bit of a walk, but when we stay here again (not if...when) we will bring our kayak to moor there. This was a lovely property and one of the best we have stayed at. Highly recommend it.

Peaceful and Pristine

This place is a gem. Perfectly secluded on the tip of San Juan Island, it is quiet, peaceful, and the ever-changing views from the lovely deck are breathtaking. Also, San Juan Property Management was terrific. They even invited us to check in early at no extra charge. The home is updated and well-equipped.
