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!

Astrid and Stephen’s place in the marina was an absolute gem. When we first arrived, we were greeted by a friendly neighbour who so happened to be Stephen who showed us to our unit, and helped us check in. Though it rained for much of our visit, the views were still stunning—peaceful, calming, and a perfect escape. The home itself was pristine and full of charm, clearly cared for with thought and love. Every little detail made it feel like a true retreat. We flew in for my son’s hockey playoffs, and the location couldn’t have been better—an easy and scenic trip to and from the arena. In fact, we loved it so much that we added two extra nights to our stay instead of touring to Victoria. No regrets! The local touches were a highlight—morning walks for fresh sourdough bread from Grain, amazing local wines at nearby restaurants that we walked to for a few lunches, dinners and a stop for some delicious tubs of local ice cream that we stocked up on! Grateful.

A lovely place to stay!! Great location for exploring the tulip fields in Skagit Valley, the San Juan Islands, and Whidbey!!! Easy to find, simple check-in and the place was gorgeous and roomy! Would absolutely stay here again!

This was such a beautiful stay! the views are truly magical here. very peaceful area, with lots of deer and wildlife to see. the house was perfect as well, you could tell a lot of time and effort was put into curating this space. would definitely stay here again! thank you so much!

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.

The house had great accommodations and it being right on the water was absolutely perfect. It was so peaceful and serene, wish we could have stayed longer.

Echo everyone else’s reviews and then some! Stacey’s place is a gem. The setting is stunning, so private. The house is cozy and tastefully decorated with lots of interesting artwork and books. It’s a real home that clearly has been well loved. We were a little concerned about the trains as we’ve camped at Larrabee State Park before. We didn’t really notice them during the day and at night for those sleeping in the downstairs bedrooms. We put the heavy sleepers in the first floor bedrooms! The house, setting, and the reasonable price compensated for any disturbance. We’ll definitely be back with kayaks, Dot Island was calling! Thank you so much Stacey and family for sharing such an incredible place.

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.

Perfect little condo for our weekend getaway as a family of four plus our pup. Our kids (4 and 6) loved the bunk bed and access to the pool. The other room is a loft room so it’s a bit bright in the morning. The condo had great decor, and all the necessary items. It was a great home base for a couple nights!

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.

My wife and I had a phenomenal stay at this Airbnb. Nestled in the city's heart, it provided a stunning view of the iconic Empress Hotel. The apartment was comfortably furnished, feeling like a second home. The outdoor patio was a unique highlight. Surrounded by trees, it served as a peaceful oasis amid the urban bustle. The pool and hot tub access added a layer of luxury, perfect for relaxation after city exploration. Our hosts were attentive, ensuring our comfort at every step. This Airbnb is a splendid choice for couples seeking a luxurious city stay. Eagerly awaiting our return visit!

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 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.
