Roche Harbor House | San Juan Island, Sunset Vista #113

2 Bedroom House in Roche Harbor, Friday Harbor

*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***
CLASSIC WATERFRONT CABIN WITH GREAT SUNSETS, AND A SUPER LOCATION NEAR ROCHE HARBOR
Don’t try to change the island, let the island change you….
For more than forty years, Sunset Vista has built and hosted a happy tribe of vacationers that want to connect in groups of 2 – 6 and create memories. Many like the lowkey, even rustic, charm of this oceanfront cabin. Of course, there are a few visitors that say “meh”. If you want a mint on your pillow or think pine needles are yucky, this may not be the best option. But if you are curious about building memories in a low-key relaxed setting near Roche Harbor Resort, keep reading!
The home is located down a wooded driveway in the desirable Roche Harbor area. The neighboring streets are great for biking and walking while the dining, shopping, and marina activities at Roche Harbor are within a 5-minute drive or easy 20-minute walk.
From the deck there are marvelous views of Speiden Island and you will also have a front row seat to watch the boating activity heading to and from Roche Harbor and Sydney, BC. On long summer evenings you are positioned to catch some of the best sunsets in the world.
On the main floor, there is a bath with a shower as well as a private bedroom with a queen bed. Other beds are located on an open loft upstairs. This area provides two separate sleeping areas divided by a wall, one with two twin beds and the other with a full-size bed. Please note that the open loft does not provide total privacy for either of the upstairs sleeping areas. The living room features a wood burning fireplace (wood not supplied) and book nook.
Sunset Vista is on medium bank waterfront (caution to all…especially parents!) with no direct shoreline access, however it is only a five-minute walk to the beautiful neighborhood beach known as The Isthmus.
During the last three years, we have made continual changes and upgrades...some are reflected in the pictures and some are not since they are very new. They include: New living room sectional. New dining room table. Maytag stainless range and stove. Maytag stainless refrigerator/freezer. Whirlpool stainless microwave. All five beds have a new bedframe or mattress and provide better support, including two Beautyrest Black queen mattresses (hotel quality). As well, new lamps, nightstands, books, kitchen utensils, plates, glasses and pots/pans have been added.
Tech update: In 2019, we upgraded online connectivity via wireless internet. Based on fast.com, it delivers consistently 25 MBPS internet speed, which does support streaming multiple devices….at least three by our count!
One more thing…the countertops are orange. Breathe into your heart center, embrace the orangeness and then take a look out the window at the Pacific Ocean. A group of seals is out there waiting for you at sunset and you should join them in enjoying the orange sunset.

Summary: We were very happy with this property. I was charmed by the transparency in the property's description of the orange counters and the narrow staircase, and hopeful when I read the reviews mentioning the wildlife spotted from the deck. One reviewer complained about the smell, which worried me a bit. There IS a distinctive smell, but it just made us think of going to our grandparents' cabins as children. I think it's just a smell to be expected in any old, wooden cabin. It wasn't offputting to us at all. I'm the only one who might have had an issue with the stairs, and I had no problem going up, but I did notice the narrow steps and had to be more mindful and hold on coming down. We only went up there once to look around (and to enjoy rocking in the comfy IKEA chair that I might have totally moved downstairs if the stairs were easier), but we spent most of our stay on the deck. The wooded property gave the house a very peaceful and private feel and was a big part of the reason we chose this older home over the more modern properties available. Although we could see the neighboring houses from the deck, we never heard a peep from them and only spotted one set of neighbors once for a few minutes during our entire stay. When we still hadn't seen any wildlife other than birds by the time we went to bed on our last night, we were afraid we were just out of luck this trip, but on our last morning we were graced with seals just below the deck and an orca further out. We'll be back!

Summary: This was exactly what we were looking for. A perfectly rustic cabin with a wonderful view. We didn’t didn’t have any issues at all. The house was exactly as described.

Robert and Mary E. Oct 29, 2022 11:00:26 AM

Summary: We were absolutely thrilled when we opened the front door and saw the magnificent view before us. The house was super clean and we felt at home right away. We enjoyed a wonderful, peaceful, and relaxing week exploring all the major highlights of the island and enjoying the magnificent sunsets each evening from the deck. We even saw some seals and egrets . It was an experience that we hope to enjoy again soon.

Summary: Each look at the view was fantastic

Jimmie D. Aug 15, 2022 11:02:27 AM

Summary: Very easy with excellent communication and reminders of steps and processes. The gentleman who takes care of the trash and other details was terrific . He got his college degree from Northern Arizona University while I was a professor.

Summary: I'm not sure I can add much more to the already glowing reviews for this cool, cozy, funky (Hello 1977! In a good way) cabin. As a one-time resident and 1986 graduate of the local high school, I know all the best spots on San Juan Island -- and this is one of them. The view, sunsets, breezes and salt air are heaven. And I'd never seen a sea lion chomp a salmon in half -- until one morning while having coffee on the deck here. If available, we plan to be back.

Summary: Our experience was heavenly bliss, for our family. Everything was so organized and easy flowing. We had everything that we needed and more. The view was spectacular 💜🙏

Julie F. May 8, 2022 11:00:39 AM

Summary: The property is exactly as described. We loved it. Very peaceful, homey comfort. Fantastic view to watch sunset. We had some combination of visits from fox, racoon, eagles, and seals every day. The beds are very comfortable. Love the cabin atmosphere. We would return in an instant. Also, the property managers were immediately responsive to the one question we had.

Summary: Booked for a 70th birthday getaway. House was very comfortable. Super clean. Beds comfortable with crisp linens. And the view can't be beat!

Natasha A. Aug 11, 2021 03:00:31 AM

Summary: This lovely home exceeded our expectations in every way! We first arrived at sunset—a magical time at this house—and fell in love with the location. We enjoyed every moment inside (love the wonderful views from all the windows!) and outside (the great two-seater overlooking the water was the perfect spot to relax—and the little beach offered some fun tidepool viewing and some great sea glass to take home!). We really enjoyed the beauty of the area—hikes with breathtaking views, kayaking, the lavender farm, the charm of Roche Harbor. However, we really didn’t need to go far from “home” to enjoy ourselves. The deer sleeping outside the house, the raccoons hanging out on the beach and the seals swimming by were all bonuses to us. We hated to leave and we really hope to return to this special place very soon!
