Beautiful Views from the Elephant House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage was very, very clean and just stocked pretty well. Plenty of towels, dishes etc. Very comfortable. The views were awesome. We saw Harbor Seals, even a pod of 3 orcas on our last early morning. The firepit was wonderful and it was so nice having wood there for that. We were thrilled with the rental all the way around. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Orca Viewing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Three Orcas went by the cabin on my last day! The whale watching tour, through “All Aboard Sailing “ was incredible. The captain sent us a description of our tour including the identification of the four whales we saw, and at least twenty high quality photos he shot during the tour. A very knowledgeable man and a lovely sailboat made for a great experience.

The view was beautiful with sunsets every night over the ocean. Well appointed with all the items needed, quiet community surrounded by big fancy properties. Nice amenities but furniture is ready for some updating.

Cute and cozy!

My husband and I stayed here for a week to celebrate our 25th anniversary. It was perfect for the two of us. It had everything that we needed. Walking distance to Roche Harbor (1.5 miles) for breakfast and not too long of a drive to anywhere on the island. While we weren't lucky enough to see any whales from the house, we did two different tours from Friday Harbor and saw orcas both times. You won't regret renting this cute and cozy cabin!
