San Juan Island, Captains Cottage #101

*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. The cottage has a strict occupancy limit: only 2 occupants are permitted. Children of all ages, including infants, count as occupants.***

The Captain's Cottage is in a truly wonderful location down a private road to Davison Head. It overlooks the beach at the Isthmus which is a popular spot to sit and enjoy some of the most spectacular sunsets you’ll ever see! The Cottage is situated on its own half acre lot with several old growth cedar trees and abundant wildlife. The privacy you will find here may be just what you’re looking for.

Built originally as a fishing shack, it has been totally remodeled into a cozy seaside cottage for two. The kitchen is well equipped including full sized stainless steel appliances and a gourmet range. The living room has large picture windows to bring in the light and view regardless of the season. The bathroom includes a pedestal sink and tiled shower. The bedroom features a custom-made Craftsman style Queen bed, a quality mattress, and a new wall mounted Smart TV with YouTube subscription including local channels. Outside is a great deck with a propane BBQ and comfortable seating. The perfect place to enjoy dinner and a glass of wine during the summer evenings.

Roche Harbor Resort and Marina is a pleasant walk away. Follow the charming country road and discover a “secret” pathway which leads you on a scenic route along the water’s edge. The recreational options are endless. Everything from Orca whale watching, kayaking, bicycling, hiking, shopping and dining. Bring your own kayak and launch from the Isthmus, Posey Island is only a short paddle away!

There is so much more to be discovered while staying at this wonderful property!

Wonderful property
It is a great location in a quiet area, close to Roche Harbor. The house is very comfortable and a great view. A couple of non-complaint observations: The top of the foot board on the bed, sticks out a little way beyond the bed frame so there was a short learning curve on how to avoid it when going back to bed in the dark. ;o) Handles on the kitchen cabinets and drawers would be helpful.

GREAT location! GREAT house!
This house was clean, nicely decorated, comfortable and in a great location! It had a view of the neighborhood isthmus, and we enjoyed that beach every night at happy hour! The cabin is located closer to Roche Harbor than Friday Harbor, and for us, this was a very good thing! Away from the hustle-bustle of the more touristy area. Close to Westcott shellfish company, an Oyster farm that we went to every day! Would highly recommend this VRBO!

Hidden Gem
My wife and I celebrated our 1-year anniversary here - and we loved it. San Juan Island in itself is fantastic, but our stay was even further enhanced by staying at this property - a perfect getaway for 2. Quiet, modern but quaint, beautiful views, tucked away near a few real gems on the Island. We loved it!

Fabulous San Juan Cottage
This is an amazing cottage in a great neighborhood. Everything was very clean, extremely comfortable and wonderfully equipped. We walked down to the water to watch the sunsets and even saw a fox cross the road and six deer in the yard. We'll definitely be back.

Perfect spot for relaxing vacation
We could not have asked for a more perfect location to stay in. It was secluded enough and was perfect for the two of us. The interior was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was so close to Roche harbor, which was nice, and was only a 20 min drive to Friday harbor. Every evening, we would drive over to Lime Kiln state park which quickly became our favorite spot for the vacation. Overall, it was perfect and I would book this location again in a heart beat!

Well-Designed Retreat
The little one bedroom cabin is well thought out and outfitted tastefully with everything it occurred to us we might want. The remote location was just what we were looking for. There was a hiccup with the key code to get into the cabin, but they had it handled for us within five minutes when we called. My only real hesitation in coming back would be the 10 am check out time. It’s earlier than the norm, and it really ate into the feeling of a leisurely vacation spot.
