About this property

Beach and Dock Access! (NBWR)

Cozy Waterfront Cabins with Dock Access - Pet Friendly.
Neil Bay Waterfront Retreat is a peaceful sanctuary - perfect for couples' getaways and small family vacations. The retreat features two cozy cabins nestled amidst lush forest greenery and has a private beach, large decks, waterfront views, outdoor grill, wildlife viewing, fully equipped and stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and high-speed internet. The retreat is pet friendly.

Neil Bay Waterfront Retreat is secluded without being isolated: a 20-minute drive gets you to the Friday Harbor ferry terminal, and a 10-minute walk gets you to Roche Harbor Resort’s dining, shops, and sculpture garden.

Main Cabin Amenities:
- Cozy studio layout with a reading loft accessible via a ship’s ladder.
- Fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, custom-made fir cabinetry, and modern appliances.
- Queen size bed.
- Gas fireplace.
- Ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower and a stacked washer-dryer.
- Expansive wrap-around decks with a south-facing main area, perfect for enjoying views of Neil Bay.

Second Cabin Features:
- Private bedroom with a queen-size bed and an ensuite bathroom.
- South-facing deck overlooking the bay.
- Foyer containing a compact kitchenette with a mini-refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker.

Exclusive Perks:
- Private beach access and over 100 feet of private shoreline
- Floating dock for launching kayaks, canoes, or stand-up paddleboards (equipment not provided)
- Situated on a half-acre with over 100 feet of private shoreline and amidst a dense, towering forest canopy for privacy.

Wake up each morning to the sounds of nature - birds chirping, the lapping of waves, and the rustling of evergreen trees. Spend your days exploring the island's hiking trails, beachcombing, or simply relaxing on the decks and taking in the tranquil surroundings.

Please note:
- Fire pits are not for guest use from May 1st-September 30th due to dry season and fire danger on San Juan Island. Ban is usually lifted October 1st if/when conditions and weather are favorable. Firewood not provided.

- This property does not have a TV.

- This home does not have Air Conditioning. The proximity to the Bay and a few open windows cools down this waterfront cabin on a warm day.

- We allow one dog per reservation with a pet fee. The dog must be attended at all times. We impose a $200 fee If a dog is left unattended and a neighbor complains. Weight must be 60 lbs or less. No pet on furniture. Renter assumes responsibility for all extra cleaning needed such as emergency carpet cleaning, furniture replacement, and or emergency laundromat use for bulky items like comforters and pillows. Dog must be house trained and on-leash while outside.

- No watercraft are provided but can be rented from a local boat rental company.

- Tides in Neil Bay can be extreme and during low tide, the water can get low enough for the dock to be beached. Please contact the office for special instructions regarding dock usage. The dock is only suitable for kayaks, standup boards and small boats 16 ft. and under or just loading and unloading at high tide.

- Internet Speed Test Results show a download speed or 121 Mbps and an upload speed of 124 Mbps, Ping: 33.66 ms (Average of three tests that were conducted January of 2022 using SpeedCheck Pro.) San Juan Island is a remote location, and it is good to keep in mind that intermittent, short, Wi-Fi disruptions are very normal for this area.

Peaceful setting on the bay
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: We loved the setting of this property amongst the tall evergreen trees and the proximity to the charming and historical Roche Harbor. The two cabins were well appointed, clean and the perfect size for all of us to enjoy each other and also have our privacy when desired. There were three deer that greeted us on the property which seemed like a nice omen. Our only regret was that we weren't able to stay longer. We would love to return someday for a longer stay.

Charming spot
Very tidy, easy check-in, gorgeous deck and location on Neil Bay, nice walk into Roche. This place is small! But charming and well-equipped! Even with the mini-me, it was still cozy quarters for our family of two adults and two teenagers.

Met expectations
We enjoyed our stay. The living spaces are small but organized well and functional. Note that the the loft mattress is thin and the Mini-Me shower pan needs to be replaced or repaired. The dock is pretty but I’m not confident you can swim in the water. We would book this rental again.

Neil Bay Waterfront Retreat
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a beautiful location. We were surprised at the outdated cabin. As we read through the property family history it was obvious that this property was well loved. However, under new ownership maybe it can be updated to reflect the price. We did not have use of the Mini Me cabin but it seemed like a cute place for a larger family.
