About this property
Waterfront Home! Newly Remodeled! (weow)
This beautiful waterfront home was updated with a modern feel, while still maintaining its Northwest contemporary charm. The wide deck offers a truly remarkable view and access to Westcott Bay and the surrounding landscapes. Paddle boarders and kayakers will find the access of launching their personal crafts as easy as possible! The house offers a deep-water mooring buoy to tie a boat up to if necessary; low tide provides 8’ depth and is safe for boats 50' or less. (House does not supply kayaks or paddle boards)
Westcott Bay Shellfish Farm is directly across the Bay, close enough to paddle board or kayak your way over to pick up the freshest shellfish on San Juan Island! This 2-bedroom (plus additional sleeping space), 3-bathroom home is perfect for a family getaway or a trip with friends. The primary bedroom has a king bed and en suite bath, the second bedroom has a queen and en suite bath, and the third sleeping space has a queen bed with a bathroom nearby.
Prepare meals in the gorgeous, updated kitchen, and enjoy them at the dining table or the expansive deck with outdoor furniture! After a day of exploring the Island, guests can spend their evening cozying up in the modern living room to enjoy a movie on the flat screen, or simply unplug and take in one of our famous San Juan sunsets!
Very nearby attractions include the Wescott Bay Cidery/San Juan Island Distillery and the Westcott Bay Shellfish Company. There are also some lovely walking hikes on the Roche Harbor trails and across the Bay at English Camp where the view from the top is well worth the hike!
Come experience the tranquility of Westcott Bay with the lively Roche Harbor resort just a short walk away.
Please be advised, yard maintenance may occur during your stay.
This is a Non-Smoking property.
*Please refrain from having beach fires or campfires. (This is out of respect for the neighbors as well as a fire safety issue with so much dry combustible material nearby.)

This is a beautiful home set in a wonderful setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, quiet home and would highly recommend this VRBO.
Perfect location and home for 3 couples. Easy access to everything in Roche Harbor and lots of wildlife viewing. Would definitely stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
The house is very nice and in a great location. It’s the perfect size for a family with three beds and three full baths. We also saw otters right outside the back door. I would stay here again.
This property has one of the best views of Westcott Bay literally right off the back porch! It was very close to Roche and convenient to get to our boat at the Marina.
Our family had a fantastic stay- wish it were longer! We saw seals, otters, deer and a fox! Paddling and kayaking on the bay was so much fun. The home was well stocked and not cluttered. We will be back!

We felt we were on a boat while sitting in the living room. At high tide. We saw ducks, a fox and otters. A. Wonderfully quiet location.
The property and location was great! Well stocked, clean and spacious. This was our 3rd rental in this neighborhood, and it was the only one that didn't include kayaks, SUPs, water shoes and clamming buckets. Would have preferred some of those amenities for the price. It also advertised beach towels being provided and they were not. Other than that, we were very pleased with our experience.

We had an amazing 3 night stay here. House well stocked, 3 beds (beautiful large master) and 3 bathrooms which was amazing for our 2 couple group and newborn. The deck was fun to sit out and play cards on. Gorgeous panoramic windows. Newly remodeled with electric fireplace. Would highly recommend and stay here in the future!

House is even better than photos. We had a slight issue with a water alarm and the property management team was sooooo helpful and immediately took care of the problem, even though it was late on a Sunday. Very impressed with the home and the company. We would rent here again in a heartbeat.

Loved waking up to enjoy coffee on a sunny deck. This was a very comfortable home for our family; 3 rooms with 3 bathrooms, along with a comfortable living space. They would benefit from new bath towels.

Beautiful island beautiful house
We had the best time in this beautiful house. The water and deck views are hard to beat, and the design, layout and comfy beds made our whole trip so relaxing. Walkable to Roche and just a gem of a spot!
Location and view very nice. A little hard to find at night. Kitchen had everything we needed. Intend to rebook for next year.

The house and property were absolutely wonderful, very modern, clean and perfect for our stay! We came after a few days, camping off grid, and it was a luxury to enjoy the the beautiful showers and bathrooms, and everything else, especially the view! Definitely take advantage of westcott Bay shellfish, just right across the bay from the house. Awesome oysters, service, and location!
Wow, this is such an amazing place! The house is absolutely beautiful. It’s right on the water, we’ll-stocked, and all around wonderful. There’s a small boat and kayaks for use and it’s impeccably clean. Plus the owners could not be nicer! We had to delay our check-in by a day due to inclement weather and they were so accommodating. After this stressful year it was just the vacation we needed and our nine year old cried when it was time to leave. Can’t wait to go back!

The lodging was very clean and modern. The pantry was well-stocked with seasoning. It had a great view and easy access to the water. The location is close to Roche Harbor, but still felt quiet and secluded. Management was also very courteous to let me know that we could have an early check-in. Great stay!

Waters Edges on Westcott Bay is wonderful escape with just the right amount of solitude. The home is lovely with fantastic light coming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water. We saw several bald eagles and the rare golden eagle as well, all from the living room and deck. We can't wait to return again!

Reviewer Comments:
We absolutely loved this beautiful home and the proximity to Roche Harbor without any of the crowds or noise. The setting is picturesque, quiet and super relaxing. It was so nice to be able to walk to Roche in the morning for coffee and donuts and also be so close to Wescott Shellfish Company. We also appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was as we cooked a number of our meals. The only bummer was that we could not find the TV remote so we were unable to use the TV during our visit. One other thing to note is that the patio hasn’t been sealed or refinished in a long time which lead to lots of slivers unfortunately. Aside from those two things everything was perfect.
