House was right on the water in a very quiet part of the island that was still close to everything. Would recommend! We had 3 couples and it felt like the perfect amount of space for all of us

This house is awesome! It is well loved by its owners, and the management company was easy to work with. The view is incredible. The area is beautiful and quiet. We enjoyed watching the wildlife and searching the tidepools for crab and other critters. It was a perfect escape for our family!

This was a wonderful place to stay! It was very nice and very clean. The location canât be beat right on the water. We wish we would have had kayaks to play around on.

Loved the house and location. Directly on the water with westerly view. Fantastic porch. Saw sea lions and sea otters immediately at our shore. Beautiful house with many great amenities. Quiet but close enough to anything you want.

We enjoyed our stay at Open Bay Beach. The beds were very comfortable. The house was clean and had plenty of space. My son enjoyed the basketball court. We picked kale and strawberries from the garden to have with dinner one night. We had a visiting seal and even saw orcas from the deck one night. The only downside is the internet isn't very reliable or fast, but that's probably an island wide issue. I wouldn't depend on this internet if you were needing to work remotely while visiting.
Only 2 issues were old sunken mattress in main floor bedroom, and tv not smart. Mattress on second floor bed is excellent, but on warm days itâs very warm up there. We donât watch a lot of tv, but did want to watch a football game which was only available on espn+. Otherwise very happy with house and location.
The listing is spot on. Beautiful scenery and very peaceful. Easy to put out kayak in from the beach. Nice gravel beach, easy access. It would be nice if there was a privacy hedge planted between the neighbors. One of the neighbors is the owner of the unit. Overall great stay.

We could not have been more pleased with our experience on San Juan Island. The property was exactly as pictured, the owners were wonderful hosts, and the house was spotless. I wouldnât hesitate to book this property again. It exceeded our expectations.

We had a wonderful time staying in this home. It had everything we needed. It was wonderful to launch my surfski right there and paddle the haro straight. There are also calm areas to paddle to the left of the property. Great âbase campâ with an easy drive to Lime Kiln and Friday harbor. Remote, quiet, very peaceful, and clean.
We loved it - from beginning to end. The location was amazing - with the semi-private beach right in front of us - lovely sunsets.
It had everything we needed - even a basketball court for our 3 boys (20, 17, and 14) ... who spent a fair amount of time playing there too.
The only thing we would have liked better would have been the water pressure in the showers - especially the upstairs shower ... Don't know if there's a fix for that, but it was pretty whimpy .... but other than that, it was perfect. We'd definitely come back again!
Thanks for taking good care of us! :-)
Great time, visited English Camp. Hiked to to scenic overlook about 1.7 miles. Great local food, celebrated my youngestâs 30th bd at Duck Soup. Saw 2 whales right off the properties beach! It was a great yomdd we with family.

Great view, quiet beach cove, and clean home. SJI is a great destination, and having this place to return to every day made planning much easier.
This was a beautiful location to stay at. The only thing we wished for was bigger beds.
The internet was not reliable so working while visiting wouldnât be possible, but with the views you wouldnât want to work anyway. Beautiful home. The house was very clean and the location was very quiet. Would definitely stay again.

Our recent stay at this waterfront property on San Juan Island was an absolute dream. The serene atmosphere, breathtaking views, and daily otter sightings created a tranquil and laid-back escape that exceeded all expectations. With the convenience of nearby towns like Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor, the house thoughtfully stocked with all essentials, and a level of cleanliness that put us at ease, we left with unforgettable memories and a refreshed sense of relaxation. This property is a hidden gem, and we wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone in search of a peaceful waterfront retreat.
We invited my nephew and his family to visit us on San Juan but our circumstances changed and I needed to find alternate housing for them. Having them in the Open Bay Beach was the perfect answer. They had a fabulous time and take away great memories of their visit.
The location really can't be beat. The beach is at your door, and its lovely. Convenient to Wescott, Roche, Lime Kiln, Mount Young and Grant, and the Alpacas. Town is just twenty minutes.
One oddity: there were just four of us so the upstairs bathroom layout wasn't an issue. However, if there were another couple in the second bedroom upstairs, they would have to pass through the other upstairs bedroom when gong to use the bathroom. Should be a hallway with a door into the main bedroom.
Great place though!
Beautiful location and wonderful house with a lot of room. The deck overlooking the water was absolutely unbeatable and being able to take steps down to the shoreline was really nice. Very relaxing!!
Beautiful property, location, scenery. It was around 90 degrees the first 2 days and i asked about a fan. I told property management i would have to go to ACE and buy a box fan myself, they never responded or offered to bring one, therefore we bought a $50 box fan. The water pressure in the showers is amost null, to the point it needs attention. Pressure is good in sinks and toilets.
Otherwise it was a lovely stay in every other way.
