San Juan Island, Sunset Vista #113

*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***

CLASSIC WATERFRONT CABIN WITH GREAT SUNSETS, AND A SUPER LOCATION NEAR ROCHE HARBOR

Don’t try to change the island, let the island change you….

For more than forty years, Sunset Vista has built and hosted a happy tribe of vacationers that want to connect in groups of 2 – 6 and create memories. Many like the lowkey, even rustic, charm of this oceanfront cabin. Of course, there are a few visitors that say “meh”. If you want a mint on your pillow or think pine needles are yucky, this may not be the best option. But if you are curious about building memories in a low-key relaxed setting near Roche Harbor Resort, keep reading!

The home is located down a wooded driveway in the desirable Roche Harbor area. The neighboring streets are great for biking and walking while the dining, shopping, and marina activities at Roche Harbor are within a 5-minute drive or easy 20-minute walk.

From the deck there are marvelous views of Speiden Island and you will also have a front row seat to watch the boating activity heading to and from Roche Harbor and Sydney, BC. On long summer evenings you are positioned to catch some of the best sunsets in the world.

On the main floor, there is a bath with a shower as well as a private bedroom with a queen bed. Other beds are located on an open loft upstairs. This area provides two separate sleeping areas divided by a wall, one with two twin beds and the other with a full-size bed. Please note that the open loft does not provide total privacy for either of the upstairs sleeping areas. The living room features a wood burning fireplace (wood not supplied) and book nook.

Sunset Vista is on medium bank waterfront (caution to all…especially parents!) with no direct shoreline access, however it is only a five-minute walk to the beautiful neighborhood beach known as The Isthmus.

During the last three years, we have made continual changes and upgrades...some are reflected in the pictures and some are not since they are very new. They include: New living room sectional. New dining room table. Maytag stainless range and stove. Maytag stainless refrigerator/freezer. Whirlpool stainless microwave. All five beds have a new bedframe or mattress and provide better support, including two Beautyrest Black queen mattresses (hotel quality). As well, new lamps, nightstands, books, kitchen utensils, plates, glasses and pots/pans have been added.

Tech update: In 2019, we upgraded online connectivity via wireless internet. Based on fast.com, it delivers consistently 25 MBPS internet speed, which does support streaming multiple devices….at least three by our count!

One more thing…the countertops are orange. Breathe into your heart center, embrace the orangeness and then take a look out the window at the Pacific Ocean. A group of seals is out there waiting for you at sunset and you should join them in enjoying the orange sunset.
