Waterfront! Hot Tub! Dog Friendly! (TSB)

Waterfront! Hot Tub! Dog Friendly! "The Space Between". Waterfront location on the northwest side of San Juan Island with hot tub that overlooks Mosquito Pass. Enjoy watching the boat traffic and views of Henry Island from the spacious deck with access from the living room.

This cozy and eclectic 3-bedroom home comfortably sleeps 8 guests and includes one king bed, 1 queen bed, 1 full bed, and a sleeper sofa that pulls out into a double-sized bed if the kids need more space. Relax in the living room with cozy seating and enjoy the Fire Stick TV or on the deck barbecuing or hot tubbing. (The fireplace is not for guest-use for safety reasons.) There are stairs to the mid bank waterfront to allow for quick access and enjoyment.

Soak in what the sea and sky have to reveal when coolin' your heels out on the deck with coffee or tea in hand. In Summer, Gray and Humpback whales are swinging by from Mexico, and turkey vultures fly in from as far away as Panama- but you can have an easier go of it, and even make it nearly carbon-free in your electric vehicle (Charge-up for free on site). In Winter, scan the water or listen for two types of sea lions, loons, or migratory Eagles.

The Wi-Fi has recently been upgraded to allow for multiple zoom meetings at once, and the distance from the contemporary hustle and bustle is getting smaller all the time. However: If your goal is to embrace the convergence of the wilderness and earthly comforts, all manner of seafaring along with intermittent but absolute silence, or a heavenly sunset by the firepit (firepit available in the off-season) while you still count yourself among the living, come and set awhile.

This house does not have good cell phone reception, but the internet at this property will allow sufficient service for Wi-fi calling from your personal cell.

1 dog per reservation with a pet fee. The dog is not to be left unattended. If a dog is left unattended and a neighbor calls to complain, renter will be charged a $200 fee. Dog weight must be less than 60 lbs. No dog on furniture. The 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. The dog must be house trained and on-leash while outside.

Fire pits are not usable from May 1st-September 30th due to county burn ban and safety of property and neighboring areas. Ban is usually lifted October 1st if/when conditions and weather are favorable. Firewood bundles can be purchased at any grocery store on San Juan Island.

A Nice Getaway
We had a wonderful experience. There was plenty of room for just two of us. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and spices. The hot tub area was improved and updated from the pictures. So that was nice. We would stay here again.

What a view!
The view was exceptional! Besides all the boats we saw whales, deer, otters and seals. The sunsets were beautiful. We loved our time on the deck. It's true that house is a little tired and the kitchen is dated, but that did not really distract from our stay. The house was very clean and well stocked, and the hot tub very well maintained. We have stayed in many rentals and would rate this one very high.

Serene views, fun decor, hot tub!
We loved this cute mid-century modern home. Comfortable beds and furniture, and excellent decor — a bit quirky, a little science-y, with plenty of local pride and a little history in the mix. Books and games. Can we talk about the view? Water, islands, trees. So lovely and calming. Whether you’re relaxing in the living room, eating on the deck or chilling in the hot tub, you’ll be mesmerized by the view of the strait and Henry Island, with Canada visible in the distance. Location is near Roche Harbor, the sculpture garden, Snug Harbor (we did an awesome Crystal Seas kayak tour out of Snug Harbor resort), and the fantastic Westcott Bay Shellfish Co. Not too far from Lime Kiln State Park. Very near the alpaca farm, which we didn’t end up having time to visit — but you should. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, etc and also helpfully stocked with sugar, spices, salt. Bathrooms had hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and plenty of TP. Not the newest or fanciest house on the island - but comfy, casual, and full of character. I took so many photos of the cool decor. We loved our stay here.

Lovely home!
The house location and views are outstanding. There was a surplus of cooking utensils, dishware, appliances, and bedding. The check in process was super easy and clear. One suggestion would be to have coffee on hand. Overall such a great stay, thank you very much!

Spring break
The house was amazing! My family of four had a wonderful spring break on the island. We had busy days and coming back to the house with a hot tub and a place to have a fire outside was so nice. You seriously can’t beat the views either. We would totally stay again. Also, my family is still talking about how comfortable the beds were.

Lovely home with a fantastic view
We loved staying here. It was exactly as it looked in the pictures, especially the view! We loved relaxing on the back deck and we even had a little sea otter friend who visited our beach every day. Close enough to town to get there easily but far enough away that we felt like we were in our own private sanctuary. Would definitely stay here again!

Terrific views
This was a lovely home that offered beautiful views of Vancouver and Henry Islands with amazing sunsets. We had seals in our backyard every morning and every night as well, and 2 deer that would come in the front yard as well. We even briefly saw the humpback whale across Haro Strait!!! The outside flora could have used a mow or some more maintenance, the upstairs mattresses were uncomfortable, and the pots and pans could be updated (we had a hard time cooking breakfast in a couple of them) but that’s just being nit picky. We would come back in a heart beat!!!

Nothing beats this view
What a stunning view and hot tub! The house was comfortable and felt homey. This isn’t a pristine home or property, which didn’t bother us but felt different than the listing a bit. It feels like a cozy, well-loved gma-like cabin with comfortable furniture and also a bit of deferred maintenance in places. Overall, you can’t beat this view and the hot tub was perfect (though the approach and path was a bit precarious). Enjoyed our stay and hot tub experience!

Beautiful waterfront setting on San Juan Island
We really enjoyed our stay at "The Space Between" looking out toward Henry Island. Everything was great-- the kitchen was well supplied, the hot tub was great, and the view was gorgeous. Our suggestions to make improvement would be: 1) get a rug for the livingroom space, and 2) get a better table and chairs for the dining space. It felt a bit sparse, and the "quality" of the furnishings could be upgraded. Otherwise, we loved it.

As advertised, but shabby.
Only one old TV. Other TV in lower level just for DVDS, It worked the first day, then no TV. Called property manager but didn't respond until next day. We had one day left we paid for, but with no TV we vacated in the morning, not sleeping there. Ice maker broken, only half the toaster worked, pillows were very old, no wine opener! B T

Outstanding San Juan Island waterfront home with sunset views!
Our Family of 4 had a great time staying at The Space Between on San Juan Island. Plenty of space to relax and watch the sunset after whale watching, kayaking, checking out the light houses or shopping in Friday Harbor. Kitchen had plenty of countertop space and was fully stocked. Beds were comfortable and provided support for older backs! We loved eating breakfast and dinner on the deck watching the boats and looking for wildlife. Great Stay!

Stunning sunsets in a charming house with a fantastic location
Five friends, four nights and a flawless and relaxing vacation. The house is exactly as advertised and we loved it. You can always reach the property management company if needed. We brought our standup paddleboards and hit the harbor, cooked almost every meal in the kitchen, with one night of BBQ'ing and an amazing bayside brunch at the Westcott Bay Aquafarm & outdoor restaurant. If you like shellfish, this is a MUST visit. The alpaca farm down the road was lovely. The perfect 5 day vacation. Thank you!

This house was exactly what we wanted - and was just as it had been advertised. Right on the water with seals and otters in attendance, a lovely deck and hot tub very private but close to Roche Harbor and very comfortable. Loved the "antique" touches too!

Perfect!
What a lovely mid-century modern home. The view is stunning!! The home has a lot of original features so it’s not the most modern/updated but the charm factor kicked in and that didn’t matter. It has all that you need. The stairs to the rocky tide pools are not for everyone and care should be taken with smaller kids. All in all we loved it and thought the location was great. We’d book again in a heartbeat!
