About this property

Roche Harbor Bayfront Escape: Luxe Retreat with Kayaks, Deck & Wildlife Views

  • Unplug, unwind, and reconnect at this serene waterfront retreat on Westcott Bay—just minutes from the charm of Roche Harbor Resort.

    This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom + bonus room home comfortably sleeps 8 and offers a seamless blend of indoor comfort and outdoor beauty. With a spacious king master suite, two queen bedrooms, and a fun bonus room featuring four XL twin beds, it's perfect for families or groups. The open-concept kitchen boasts quartz countertops, a 6-burner range, and all the essentials for entertaining.

    Step through the 4-panel nano door onto the expansive deck—ideal for morning coffee, evening wine, and everything in between. Watch eagles soar, seals play, and hummingbirds flit by as you soak in the natural beauty.

    Adventure awaits right outside your door:

    Paddle Westcott Bay in one of our 3 single kayaks, tandem kayak, canoe, or on a paddleboard

    Cycle the quiet island roads on our 4 provided bikes

    Roast s'mores around the campfire and stargaze under pristine skies

    Walk or paddle to local seafood and fresh oysters

    Getting here is part of the magic—fly into Roche Harbor via floatplane, or enjoy a scenic drive and ferry from the mainland.

    Fast Starlink Wi-Fi makes remote work and streaming seamless.
    Download speeds up to 90 Mbps | Upload up to 16 Mbps

    Just a 15–20 minute drive from the Friday Harbor ferry dock, this peaceful retreat puts you close to restaurants, shops, spa services, and the marina—yet feels like a world away.

Tranquil and Restorative

Second time at this property and it certainly lived up to our wonderful memories. Relaxing mornings drinking coffee while the sun comes up over the bay. Fun days exploring island adventures nearby. Delicious food at Westcott Bay Shellfish. And restful and relaxing evenings by the fire in this beautiful home. We’ll certainly be back!

Wonderful Stay on San Juan Island

The listing looked amazing but the property was even better than I expected! We all had such a great time and loved this home. The view is wonderful and location is relaxing. Went kayaking, walked to Roche Harbor and sculpture garden, played ping pong, enjoyed cooking, grilling, and the fire pit. Also saw so much wildlife right outside the house. Hoping to return sometime!

Great family getaway

This house was great for our family for the weekend. We loved that everyone had their own room, the kitchen was very well stocked, the whole place was immaculate, and the view was lovely. We used the bikes and rain boots, and had planned on using the kayaks but the weather wasn’t stellar. The proximity to Roche Harbor was excellent and the walking trails were perfect for our dogs. Thank you!

So peaceful! Cabin was beautiful and had all we needed. Our favorite part was walking over to Roche Harbor everyday for a meal. The trails on the way over are magical. Lots of wildlife. The harbor seals while kayaking were so fun and kayaking across the bay to eat oysters was another highlight. I hope we come back again!

Beautiful retreat on Westcott Bay

This lovely waterfront island home was well equipt and clean. There were many extras such as kayaks, paddle boards, ping pong, bikes, clam digging equiptment. We loved watching and listening to all of the birds including blue herron and eagles. The location was close to Roche Harbor and the Oyster Farm. Nice home for a family get away.

Mother’s Day getaway

Decided to take the kids for a little weekend fun to celebrate Mother’s Day. All kids are older teen to adults. The weather was gorgeous. The house was very well stocked and I loved the little labels or instructions on things how they worked. Would have loved to stay longer. I will be adding this to my favorites to return again.
