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.

Review Score:   10
Summary: Wonderful, very quiet and relaxing. We really enjoyed the evening sunsets, and our weather was great for the start of fall (October 5th-10th). Saw lots of wildlife but no orcas or whales at the house, but just a 15 min. drive up north to Lime Kiln State Park and we saw Humpback Whales there on 2 different days.
