Photos and Description of the Friday Harbor vacation house rental
3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom, Sleeps 8

'Thanks for letting us share this awesome place. Decided not to leave, hope you don't mind!' This sentiment entered in our guestbook entry is echoed time and again by those who vacation at Robinson's Cove. For good reason, this is one of our most popular vacation rental homes - you'll need to book this perfect slice of paradise early!

This San Juan Island vacation home has spectacular 180 degree views of blue waterways, neighboring islands, and the Cascade Range, including Mt. Baker. In addition to the superb natural surroundings, the setting of the home is also an attraction as it's located in the desirable NE corner of San Juan Island - a wonderful base for walking, riding bikes, and there's even a path that leads from the property to a neighborhood park where you can picnic and kayak in the cove. The home offers a great wrap-around deck and a hot tub privately perched onto the hillside.

The home offers attractive furnishings, a nicely equipped kitchen, and the contemporary conveniences of WIFI and satellite TV. The floor plan will please both families and couples traveling together. On the main level are the kitchen, dining areas, and a living room with window seats just perfect for lounging to embrace the view and cozy up to a fire. On this level, you'll also find the master bedroom with a king-size bed and private bath. On the lower level there are two guest bedrooms and a shared bath. One of these bedrooms offers a king size bed, waterview, and patio. The other has a queen bed and access to the hot tub and sauna. Also downstairs is the family room with computer desk, wood stove, deluxe queen-size sofabed, laundry room, and a Foosball table to enjoy.

Kids will love the trails and play areas on this 1.5 acre property, but as there is high-bank exposure on the waterside, children and dogs do require supervision when outdoors.

Robinson’s Cove is a 15 minute drive from Friday Harbor and only a 5 minute drive from Roche Harbor's dining options, post office, airport, marina, spa, & grocery.

Robinson's Cove is cared for by Vacation Doorways, a local property management company, to make sure your stay goes smoothly!

This property was a fantastic find - peaceful, relaxing, with an amazing view. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. However, we found ants on the kitchen counter and on one of the sofas....daily.

Manager responded on 9/18/2012:
Sorry about the pesky critters! Living "in the woods" does sometimes mean sharing the property with a variety of unwanted guests. We'll get a pest control person to address this.

Reviewer Comments:
We've stayed in quite a few vacation homes in various places and this one is pretty par for the course condition-wise - a little worn but very pleasant with a fabulous view! The kitchen looks large but is really a 2-butt kitchen the way it functions. Also, be prepared for sugar ants. Lemon juice helps, or bring a bottle of natural ant killer. I think they are rampant over the entire island.

Price-wise it was far more expensive than the Oregon Coast but in line with the other house rentals we looked at on San Juan.

The house does not have it's own beach, and the county park beach next door is a bit tougher to reach than we imagined from the description. Not horrible, but hard on my 60 something parents. You can drive down & drop them off, though, so that's a nice feature. Smelled like ocean, which I love! NOT sandy though if that's what you're expecting. Non of the beaches we saw on the island were.

I strongly suggest investing in neoprene socks/booties (the kind paddlers & river people wear) to wear in the water, on the beach, & inside your water sandals. You will sing my praises for this advice later, lol! (About $20-$40 depending on where you buy them. Ours were $19 online on a good sale.)

We took our kayaks and had a blast going from the county beach next door to Friday Harbor (about a 4 hour trip for us.) The first place to rest is the UW biological preserve so be prepared - don't drink too much liquid the first couple of hours! $5 per boat to take out at Friday Harbor's kayak dock.

We also put in at Roche Harbor ($10 per boat) and paddled to English Camp. Also about a 4 hour trip but we spent an hour or so having lunch and exploring English Camp. Well worth it!

Wear your spray skirts & PFDs - the water is cold, the boat wakes can be considerable, and watch out for tide rips - close to shore is always your best bet for safety. :)

The home accomodated our party with no problem. We were all amazed at how well equipped everything was. The kitchen had more tools, pots, pans, etc. than any rental we have ever stayed in. The location near Roche Harbor was perfect. Close, yet very private. Our exercisers had plenty of places to run and walk, and our relaxers were extremely comfortable. The view is to die for!
