SAN JUAN WATERHOUSE VRP PROV098
The San Juan Waterhouse is a uniquely beautiful vacation home whose spectacular west side shores of San Juan Island host rare privacy and unforgettable Orca whale watching. With dramatic views of Puget Sound, and the snowcapped Olympic Mountains, this waterfront home offers private vacation rental opportunities that are breathtaking in all seasons. Fourteen hundred feet of coastline on three acres, bordered by preservation land offers the most premier whale watching on the west side of San Juan Island. Orcas of the J, K, and L pod hunt migrating salmon along the shoreline, and on occasion sleep in our cove.
Built uniquely close to the shoreline, the Waterhouse is a very secluded, island home.
Custom built with much attention to creative details, enjoy a beautiful stone gas fireplace when ambiance and warmth are the inspiration. The fully equipped kitchen includes a professional Viking stove, a great invitation to the serious chef. A stainless propane BBQ on the deck makes outdoor cooking a breeze.
Multiple French doors, a vaulted ceiling and an open living space floor plan surrounded by windows provide customized comfort, and spectacular water views from all rooms including its two bedrooms.
There is plenty to do with the rocky coves and a private gravel beach to explore. Tide pooling is excellent. Bring your binoculars because bird watching is superb, with resident Harlequin ducks and the local Bald Eagle 'Rocky'. Watch fox, otter, and deer close by, or pack your favorite beverages, a great book and relax on a sandy haven directly in front of the house. Two well-furnished decks with outdoor seating, a picnic table and Adirondack chairs also beckon. A rocky fire pit is available, with the exception of May 1- September 30th when fire danger is high on the island. Best of all is whale watching as this stretch of shoreline has been identified by a Whale Museum biologist as a feeding area for Orcas. Watch whales pass by from the deck as their family groups come within a few yards of shore, hunting salmon.
Please note. Cars are limited to two, and are parked uphill, behind the house. The trail from the parking area to the house is a downhill grassy slope, that is somewhat rugged and can be challenging for some. Two big wheel wagons are provided to haul groceries and luggage. We are a no drone, no motorized bikes or scooter property. Old Johnson Rdwy is 1.2 miles of gravel road with sharp 90degree turns and is very quiet. Medium to high clearance cars are recommended. Please ask Suzanne (360-317-8543) if you have any questions.
We are a no smoking, and no pet property.
Minimum night stay: For June 15 - Sep 3, it is seven nights and for Sep 4 - June 15th, it is
three nights.

Summary: this was truly the most relaxing vacation i have ever been on and it was all due to this rental. the location is secluded and private without being too remote or rough to get to - not to mention absolutely breathtaking. the host was exceptionally informative. we were even met at the airport and led to the house. this was especially nice as it was night time and the island was pitch black! the whole stay was cozy perfection. can't wait to return. :)

Summary: We had a very relaxing few days enjoying this home. It was comfortable and well appointed, and a close ride to town, restaurants, hiking trails, etc. That said, we had a hard time tearing ourselves away from the relaxing deck, and ever changing views of the Haro Strait, Victoria, the Olympics. We also enjoyed seeing all the wild life that hang around - eagles, foxes, deer, sea lions, etc. Hope to get back to this special place!

Summary: The views are absolutely stunning. We saw deer, fox, otter, seals, sea lions, and eagles. We didn’t see the whales, but if they would have come by it would have been an amazing viewpoint. The water is stunning. The home is very private. The only thing that could improve the experience would be contactless check in.
