San Juan Island, Captains Cottage #101

*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. The cottage has a strict occupancy limit: only 2 occupants are permitted. Children of all ages, including infants, count as occupants.***

The Captain's Cottage is in a truly wonderful location down a private road to Davison Head. It overlooks the beach at the Isthmus which is a popular spot to sit and enjoy some of the most spectacular sunsets you’ll ever see! The Cottage is situated on its own half acre lot with several old growth cedar trees and abundant wildlife. The privacy you will find here may be just what you’re looking for.

Built originally as a fishing shack, it has been totally remodeled into a cozy seaside cottage for two. The kitchen is well equipped including full sized stainless steel appliances and a gourmet range. The living room has large picture windows to bring in the light and view regardless of the season. The bathroom includes a pedestal sink and tiled shower. The bedroom features a custom-made Craftsman style Queen bed, a quality mattress, and a new wall mounted Smart TV with YouTube subscription including local channels. Outside is a great deck with a propane BBQ and comfortable seating. The perfect place to enjoy dinner and a glass of wine during the summer evenings.

Roche Harbor Resort and Marina is a pleasant walk away. Follow the charming country road and discover a “secret” pathway which leads you on a scenic route along the water’s edge. The recreational options are endless. Everything from Orca whale watching, kayaking, bicycling, hiking, shopping and dining. Bring your own kayak and launch from the Isthmus, Posey Island is only a short paddle away!

There is so much more to be discovered while staying at this wonderful property!

Wonderful Property and Stay
Hello, This is our second stay at Captain's Cottage. This one was even better. The property manager is great, the unit was spotless and there were upgrades since our last stay. Very comfy bed, nicely stocked kitchen - even with food film, foil, spices, sweetners and other goodies. They even had an oyster knife so I could shuck my own yummy fresh oysters from up the road a bit. If you like a quite, water view getaway, this is the place. It is for two adults only, but if thats you, enjoy!

Hidden Gem
My wife and I celebrated our 1-year anniversary here - and we loved it. San Juan Island in itself is fantastic, but our stay was even further enhanced by staying at this property - a perfect getaway for 2. Quiet, modern but quaint, beautiful views, tucked away near a few real gems on the Island. We loved it!

Fabulous San Juan Cottage
This is an amazing cottage in a great neighborhood. Everything was very clean, extremely comfortable and wonderfully equipped. We walked down to the water to watch the sunsets and even saw a fox cross the road and six deer in the yard. We'll definitely be back.

Fantastic location
The cottage location hidden in the trees with a view of the isthmus beach is perfect. We enjoyed the many deer who were frequently outside and even saw a fox on the isthmus. The cottage is well maintained, well supplied, and clean. The property manager is very responsive. When we first arrived we were upset to find no deck furniture. We notified the manager and they got the deck furniture out within a few hours. It has been put in the shed for storage, during the time that rentals were canceled due to Covid-19.

Wonderful property
It is a great location in a quiet area, close to Roche Harbor. The house is very comfortable and a great view. A couple of non-complaint observations: The top of the foot board on the bed, sticks out a little way beyond the bed frame so there was a short learning curve on how to avoid it when going back to bed in the dark. ;o) Handles on the kitchen cabinets and drawers would be helpful.
