Waterfront holiday rentals in San Juan Island

We loved our stay at Christine’s “suite view!” It does have a gorgeous view & very peaceful setting. The place itself is cute & clean with everything you need. We used it as a home base for some local adventures. But honestly i think what we enjoyed most, was coming back in the afternoon to relax in the sunny & private yard. It was very peaceful & serene, with a gorgeous view of the water. I highly recommend Christine’s place & would happily return in the future!

Haven’t really stayed in many airbandb’s but this was bright and cheery and spotlessly clean. Easy walk to great restaurants and our own parking spot right out our door. .

The whole stay from beginning to end was perfect. The pristine accomadations, beautiful private.quiet setting made a great getaway. Gary and Ginny had easy to follow instructions and responded quickly responded to all questions.

This place was even more gorgeous in person! The whole area was secluded with a gorgeous waterfront view and deer everywhere. They had so many little touches that made this easily one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. 10/10 will be back!

This place was fantastic. It was so hard to leave, even after three nights. The lodging decor is cozy, very comfortable with lots of nice seating options and has all that you need. Enjoyed making meals in the ample kitchen (oil & a few seasonings) and watching the wind and water through the wall-to-wall windows. For those with mobility concerns, there are five gradual gravel steps down to your entry door (it's on the lowest floor of an occupied 3-story home) and a short gradual gravel slope down the driveway and along side of house to get down to the very private lower section of the property. Your lower water-view yard is very private with a picnic table for a peaceful outdoor lunch with a view. Loved Betsy's tea and coffee options, the banana muffins and homemade bread were delightful. Quiet lodging with minimal walking sounds from above. Open communication was prompt and check-in/out was easy. I can't wait to return with my sweetie. This was an AirBnB favorite, for sure.

Magical!! Even more beautiful than the photos. The place was exceptionally clean and hosts very responsive. Communication excellent. I would love to come back here and just sit and enjoy the view some more.

My Son and I stayed at Elizabeth's place when we went to Everett to see a concert. She was incredibly helpful, friendly, and always responsive. The place itself was immaculate and showed a great deal of care and thoughtfulness. It was very cozy and a superb place for my Son and I to stay and enjoy our visit. Thank you Elizabeth!

I had a peaceful night sleep The weather was not good during my stay too much rain But the cozy little studio apartment was fine .

words can’t describe how amazing this home is! the view of the olympics and beach access made our vacation truly special! the home was clean, spacious and had everything we needed, including plenty of beach towels, a few toys for the kiddos, books and even binoculars! we will absolutely be back!

This home was clean and very peaceful. Nick was excellent with instructions and fast to respond to any communications. We enjoyed the water view and the tranquil location. Sunsets were fantastic and the close parks were great to explore with our dog. A few things we didn't expect, we expected that since dogs were allowed that our dog would be right at home. We didn't think through the difficulty our dog would have with the spiral staircase. He likes to be able to check on all of us, so if someone was downstairs we had to walk him around the house and in through the downstairs door. The beach was not accessible to our dog. The pilons that acted as stairs to the beach were unsafe for our dog to traverse, so he never got to the beach from the house. Neither of these things were a big deal to us, but it's worth noting if you plan on bringing your pup.

This house measured up to all our expectations! Perfect for two couples who want some separation with a king size bed in one of the downstairs bedrooms. The view was soul soothing. Eagles, deer…even a couple of otters. And then there is Mt Baker in the distance. Can’t be beat. Clean, comfortable. Highly recommend!

Came here for an Easter getaway. Love everything about this home and would most certainly stay again given the opportunity. Thank you again for sharing!

We had a family gathering for 10 people. The house was warm and friendly and easily accommodated all of us. There were 3 children, 11 to 15. They played badmitten and ran around the 7 acre tract and spent hours at the private beach. San Juan island is one of the most beautiful places on the west coast and this place truly enhanced our visit, I can't say enough good things and highly recommend staying there.

Lovely home with a phenomenal location on the water. Perfect for a quick getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house itself is in a beautiful location; the water really is right there. There was lots to do in the house; there were books and games suitable for my 5 year old which was a big help! The kitchen was stocked with basics which was very helpful. We had a short power outage during our stay and Stacy was responsive and helped us find flashlights and candles. While the house was great, I'll note a few things. The two bedrooms downstairs are connected by a door, and the other door from one of the bedrooms downstairs is a folding door. So there isn't a lot of separation or sound privacy between those two rooms. It worked for us because my kiddo slept in one of the adjoining rooms and I was in the other. Overall, it was a great place to stay and have as a base to explore Bellingham, while providing lots of fun and amenities right at the house!

Annika’s home was beautiful - a true sanctuary. The access to the beach at low tide was a blast for our kids and we were treated to beautiful sunsets every night and even had an eagle perch on a branch outside to have its dinner. The house was spacious, clean and comfortable with lots of games and toys for the kids. Our kids are already asking when we can return.

Beautiful condo with lots of room and great views. We all felt right at home.

A wonderful option right in the heart of town. Couldn’t be easier to find. Unit looks newly renovated and is spotless. We found parking easily within a block or two, if not right out front.

Birch Bay is great, there home is excellent.

Kelli's place and hosting exceeded expectations. She was communicative, friendly, got clear instructions and quick responses to us, and checked in during our week stay to make sure we had what we needed. The place was super clean, warm, with several places to cozy up with our grandkids who came over for a visit; parking, entry, getting settled was easy. We could stare at the bay from the living room or the covered patio; going for beach walks was as easy as crossing the street. The comfortable bed and spacious closet suited us perfectly for our 7 night stay. It had all the kitchen accessories we needed for the week. An example of Kelli's superhosting: when we arrived, we noticed one lightbulb out in the bathroom, hardly an issue. I messaged her so she could fix it (even if she did so after we left, again, it was not a bother) - within an hour the bulb was replaced. We have stayed several places when visiting our kids in Blaine and none of them suited us as well as Kelli's place.

Above and beyond our expectations, attention to detail & made our visit so comfortable ! They were always present to our needs & felt at home! An excellent vaycay!! We give it a 5 plus stars!!!

We rented for a month, so we got to know the ins and outs of the building and the neighborhood. When we were searching our biggest concerns were: location, view, parking and pricing. Grace's condo is small but easily adequate for two active people (who like to cook) for a month's stay. Everyday we took long walks along the harbor. The best walk is to immediately cross the Johnson St. Bridge and follow the Songhees Walkway which goes 3km to the west. We saw herons and owls, otters and seals. Victoria has a homeless issue which is something one cannot avoid noticing. However, we did not feel unsafe at any time. There are neighborhood supermarkets within walking distance, though food prices are really high (about double) compared to the Superstore or the Costco in Langford, which is a 20min drive away. Grace's apartment has excellent parking and seems to include overhead racks for kayaks! We did not inquire about these, but there seem to be many free spaces. Enjoy!

We really enjoyed our stay! Loved that from one balcony we had a river view and the other a view of the bay. The home was comfortable and cozy for our family. Beds had nice, soft (and clean!) sheets, comfortable mattresses as well. Short walk to beach access and coffee shop which was a plus as well.

It was great staying with Marlyn and Timm. I'll definitely be back to enjoy their beautiful location again! They were very hospitable hosts and made me feel right at home. Thank you!
