San Juan Island, Neil Bay #800

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

This delightful vacation home near Roche Harbor offers all the essentials to make your vacation memorable - a waterfront exposure, superb location, comfortable furnishings, wood-burning fireplace, communication and entertainment electronics - and a feel-good, unpretentious atmosphere that defines the classic Island lifestyle. This three bedroom (two queen beds and two twin beds) home faces south with a view across pristine Neil Bay, and features a great room with floor to ceiling windows that open onto a large bi-level deck. This is where you'll likely spend time catching the sun, enjoying morning coffee, dining on long summer evenings, and watching the eagle, geese, and other bird life explore the nearby salt-water lagoons.

This home is located in a desirable neighborhood on the NW side of San Juan Island, about a 20 minute drive from Friday Harbor and the ferry. You can walk to nearby Roche Harbor within 20 minutes, where you'll find an airstrip, kid's pool, post office, marina, market, artists kiosks, shops, and three restaurants.

If you plan to tour the islands by boat, you'll appreciate the convenience of tying it up to the 40 foot dock. But, do be aware that Neil Bay can go very shallow - tide charts must always be consulted before arrival and departures by private boat.

Please note this home has two steps to get to the entrance.

Amazing location
We had an amazing time on Neil Bay! The proximity to Roche Harbor, the personal dock for our boat, the layout of the home, the ease of finding everything, and the view of the bay - all made our stay incredible. We will certainly be booking again. The only hangup we had was dancing around monitoring low tide (if you are a boater). Low tide was just 1' at times, so we had to make sure we weren't coming in or leaving around that time. Crabbing just outside of Neil Bay was pretty great too!

Neil Bay - Close of September
The Davison Head property on Neil Bay was exceptionally peaceful and allowed an immediate connection with the natural surroundings - both wooded and aquatic. The birds, mammals, and sea life were all as advertised! It provided a beautiful space to connect with family throughout the day - for meals, casual conversations, and preparation for the next island adventure. Thank you for sharing your home with our family! Mike & Paola

We Love Neil Bay
This is our third rental on Neil Bay and by far our favorite. The large deck was like a magnet. The five of us spent many hours out there watching the wildlife and dining. The home is spacious, with comfortable furniture and beds, quality linens, light and airy bathrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen. The location is perfect for walking, kayaking, and bike rides into Roche Harbor and surroundings. We had a wonderful time and hope to return!

Perfect Location
Our family gave it a 5-star rating because of its convenience to Roche Harbor (walking) and the good dock. We are a boating family - fishing, crabbing or exploring were our activities. We managed to get out of Neil Bay early a.m. before low tide and return in the evening at high tide. The kitchen/living arrangements were more than adequate for the evenings that we cooked in! All in all - it was a delightful experience and we are happy with our choice.

Return Visit…
This is the third time we’ve stayed at this excellent property. We love the protected moorage, wood fireplace, spacious accommodations and well equipped kitchen. It’s a nice walk into Roache Harbor. Note, the moorage can be less than 3 feet during zero or minus tides, so it’s not for larger boats…. Property management at this property is excellent!

Great shallow draft boat/dock property!
This is a very nicely appointed property Davidson Head near Roache Harbor that provides well protected moorage for boats that draw less than 24” of water at MLLW. We have a power catamaran so it just works for us…. We’ve stayed here a few times and find Northwest Island Escapes to be very professional and helpful. We’ve stayed in several of their managed properties with excellent experiences in each one. Doug & Sandy Thomas Bellingham WA

Perfect Getaway
This home is in a great location, right near Roche Harbor, but it is so quiet and peaceful. We loved relaxing with the beautiful bay view and the house had all the comforts of home. Northwest Island Escapes was great to rent from and they were very responsive to our needs.
