While the property is peaceful and quiet, just minutes away there are so many fun, interesting things to do. We’ve stayed on several of the San Juan Islands, but San Juan Island itself is much more slow paced than most. The house has a beautiful, tranquil view, and the bed is extremely comfortable (and I am picky). We were on the island early and were thrilled to get a text message saying that the house was ready early (3 hours) and we were welcome to come anytime. The one recommendation I would make is, if you’re picky about your coffee, tea, or you like to drink a lot of water, buy a few jugs of drinking water. Although I know the house water is perfectly safe to drink, it does have a strong odor and taste. No big deal, just buy some water if you think that might bother you. A great place. We highly recommend it!
