Location and amenities were great!! We combined getting out and exploring with a leisurely day inside playing games and photographing orcas. It was everything we were looking for in a local birthday weekend getaway!
Nothing short of amazing in all aspects (as long as you are ok with stairs) wildlife, scenery, peaceful bliss.
Awesome place. If you can spend some time here, do it.
House and property were beautiful! We enjoyed the hot tub and the close proximity to town, less than 10 minutes. The house was very well equipped with dishes, cooking utensils and linens. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
One of the best stays we’ve ever had. The house was immaculate with all the conveniences we expected. Tub was just the right location. Induction stove and convection oven.Couldn’t have had a better place to spend a quiet Christmas day.
Stunning views of the sound from every room. The home looked just like the pictures. We came here for a quick getaway with another couple, and we loved the board games, the decks, easy access to Friday Harbor, and privacy the home offered. We’d love to come back!
Absolutely lovely property! Better than the pictures! All amenities were as described. Wonderful getaway - the wood interiors give a treehouse feel overlooking the water. Spectacular!
This house is even more stunning than the photos. It was perfect for a family of five adults. The views from the balconies are breathtaking, we saw porpoises and seals. It is a quick drive to Friday Harbor and the house was well stocked and had the most homey feel. Could not have asked for anything better!
This is a beautiful property, with decks overlooking the Salish Sea on all 3 levels. Very quiet, with only harbor seals and river otters to be seen. The stairway down from the parking location to the house entrance was well worthwhile for such a wonderfully situated house!
Spent 5 days/4 nights in this wonderful home! Very cozy, beautifully furnished. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was furnished with everything you could possibly need. Large walk in showers, huge hot tub with stunning water views from every level of the home.
We loved everything about this beautiful home!
The home is very beautiful. The downstairs bathroom door was very dirty. The downstairs bed is very hard but the rest of the home was very comfortable and relaxing

Wonderful stay in this waterfront retreat! No complaints, so comfortable, private and relaxing. Great kitchen/utensils for cooking in every night. Best view/deck of any rental we’ve had!We just didn’t book it for a long enough stay. Thanks for the lovely accommodation.
Tongue and grooved knotty pine, Leathered granite counters, views of the water from every angle. High end amenities, a perfect place to unwind. High end flooring throughout with heated tile floors in the bathrooms and utility/wash room. An amazing place to stay on San Juan, perfectly situated between Friday harbor and Roche harbor. Orcas, sea lions and coast guard were plentiful for viewing from the two different balcony style decks. What a treat!
We just simply loved the home, and more importantly, the view and being on the Ocean. We live on Camano Island and i was born and raised there. However, I have continually loved coming to Friday Harbor for the better part of my life and love it here. We are looking forward to coming back soon!
Enjoy the Wine as a gift from our Family to you! The Hansen's

I do a lot of work on the island and its hard to call it work when we get to stay in awesome homes such as this one. We loved the place and the hot tube was a nice bonus. The home was clean and as advertised lol
The pictures don't do this home justice. The hot tub is incredible, and the view is breath taking. We loved watching the sunset from the patio (which was amazing), and taking in the beauty. We had some questions about the ferry schedule, and the communication was prompt, professional, and friendly. The check-in/check-out process was a breeze. I would 100% recommend staying here, and I will definitely be coming back :)
The space was set up as a real adult getaway. No bunk beds, no corner piled high with beat up games and puzzles with missing pieces. It felt very high end. The location was nothing short of peace and quiet. Solitude. It was everything we wanted. The hot tub was amazing…with a view. This is the place you go to get away. Leave the kids and dogs home with the in laws and reconnect. Also such a short distance to the downtown for dining and shopping. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Will absolutely be returning.
Our stay on San Juan Island was absolutely magical, thanks to this incredible VRBO home right on the water. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with stunning views of the ocean and the peaceful sounds of nature. The house itself was spacious, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay with friends.
One of the highlights was waking up to the sunrise over the water each morning, which we could enjoy right from the comfort of the cozy living room or the expansive deck. The kitchen was well-equipped for us to cook our meals, and we loved having dinners outside with the ocean breeze.
The location couldn't have been better. It was secluded enough to feel like a true retreat, yet still conveniently close to local attractions and activities.
The property owners were fantastic hosts, providing us with all the information we needed ahead of time and ensuring that everything was in perfect order upon our arrival. Their attention to detail and hospitality truly made our stay special.
Overall, our time at this VRBO home exceeded all expectations. It was the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, and we created memories that will last a lifetime. We can't wait to return to San Juan Island and stay at this wonderful property again. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature in a

We really enjoyed our stay at Evergreen Waterfront Retreat. Not too far from Friday Harbor and the view was incredible. The house was clean and very comfortable. The master bedroom was lovely, but missing a closet anywhere upstairs for hanging clothes. The bed mattress is needing a "flip" or replacement since there are dips which make it not as comfortable as I'm guessing it was in the beginning. Awoke with a bit of a sore back in the mornings, but not terrible.

The rental property was just as awesome in person as it looks in the pictures. Great space for couples. The kitchen was well equipped . We made several meals during our stay. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the main deck Did not see whales but saw bald eagles and deer.

The house is great, with wonderful views across the water and everything you would need. We had a great trip with a couple of friends! The home was as described, clean, and well taken care of. Just a 10 minute drive to Friday Harbor for anything you need in town.
