The property has a waterfront view from the cottage. It is secluded with great privacy and peace of mind. We went on whale watching tour and had a mutitude of sightings of a well known female humpback whale.
This is our third stay and Shaqteau just keeps getting better. We absolutely love being hosted here - itâs perfection and we wouldnât change a thing!
The property itself was as advertised. The grounds were a bonus. A well thought out garden just outside the windows let us see hummingbirds and several other species from the comfort of the living room area.The chairs down at the lagoon were also a nice touch and we were able to warch harbor seals and belted kingfishers.
Jim and Peggy were very kind and quick to answer questions online! Easy check in process. The owners are right next door if you need anything but the cottage is cozy, clean, and private! The bed is comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and was stocked with amazing coffee! The view was gorgeous and our favorite part was walking down to the beach to sit on the Adirondack chairs and drink our coffee and to look for seashells! Thanks for a wonderful stay, if we ever come back we will definitely stay here!
Great location. Only a few minutes from the town and restaurants. The bed was very comfortable and my wife loved the shower. The chairs by the waterfront were a very relaxing spot for us to spend the evening. Would stay again, thank you for having us!
We had a wonderful stay!The shaqteau was comfortable and clean.The location is within walking distance to town.There is a beach at the end of the road.The host was kind and friendly. We highly recommend this property.
Quaint little cottage on the water with all the amenities of home. Cottage is located out of Friday Harbor and is in a quiet neighborhood but not far from everything. You definitely get the island feel at this cottage. We highly recommend this property to all.
We loved our 3 night stay at this clean and quiet cottage just outside of town. It had everything we needed and also enjoyed using the outdoor patio, barbecue and chairs by the water.
Lovely spot just outside of town as a home base for a family event visit. Nice unit, friendly hosts, very comfortable and clean. We will stay there again for our next visit!
We had a wonderful stay at their home. It was perfectly located right outside of town. Super quiet and we had access to a private beach. Everything we needed to cook right there and the bed was super comfortable which is sometimes hard to find at VRBOâs. They are right next door but we had total privacy. We hope to be back next year! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful place with us!
This is a well located cute cozy cottage next to the owners home. Has great back yard views and a great area to look at the water out back. Easy access to explorer the island. Bed is comfortable and kitchen well stocked.
Jim and Peg LeBlanc are fun loving artists and thoroughly enjoy living in the San Juan islands. We love to garden, kayak and bird watch. We have collaborated on making this property a simple and beautiful place to spend time.
For many years when we were living elsewhere (our former fast-paced, urban, busy , fun, and noisy ) the San Juan Islands were a beacon for us, shaping our goals for a new chapter of living a little slower, a little simpler, with more natural beauty. We have tried to keep to that vision in making our little cottage a place where you might experience what we love about his part of the world.
We really think this is the best of both worlds for out of town visitors. You are surrounded by the beauty of this unique environment, the water of Griffin Bay, the clean air that blows over these islands, the quiet of being distance from major traffic ways... and yet we are walking distance to the town's restaurants, theaters, museums, the harbor and music venues. We love living where we do on this fantastic island. Beautiful and convenient!
