Perfect location to relax, unwind, renew and enjoy San Juan Island

Kittiwake Getaway is the perfect location to relax, explore and enjoy San Juan Island. Just minutes from Roche Harbor Resort! Relax in the sunny and bright living room with great natural light to take in natures surroundings or to just relax after a long day of sightseeing. Entertain in the fully equipped kitchen with bar seating and plenty of space for meal prep. Enjoy the expansive deck looking out to Speiden Island with propane BBQ and propane firepit table - the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the San Juan’s.

Kittiwake Getaway is very private on nearly an acre and is just minutes from Roche Harbor (heated pool open to Roche Harbor Resort guests and the public, you, for a daily fee paid at the pool- chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.rocheharbor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2024-Pool-Schedule-and-rates-1.pdf,) and Westcott Bay is only 15 minutes from Friday Harbor.

**I do provide a ring security camera that covers the driveway, parking area, and entrance to the home.**

There is vinyl plank flooring in the great room and bedrooms, and primary bathroom and tile flooring in the hall bathroom and kitchen. There are lots of windows that let in the natural sunlight in the living room.

The spacious kitchen has granite countertops and stainless appliances. There is both a traditional Cuisinart coffee maker as well as a Keurig with frother, French press, 4 slice toaster, vitamix blender, hand held blender, hand held mixer, salad spinner, crock pot, rice maker, large electric griddle and an electric kettle. The dining area has seating for 6 and there is also bar seating for 2. There is plenty of space to enjoy board games or to work on a puzzle. If you can’t unplug, the home does have a desk, StarLink wireless internet service and offers good cell phone reception.

Kittiwake Getaway offers 3 bedrooms with well-appointed sleeping for 6. The primary bathroom has an attached full ensuite with a large shower surrounded by glass enclosure and is stocked with plush linens, shampoo and conditioner, bath and facial bar soaps and body gel. The same amenities are provided in the other bathroom. There is a king size bed in one of the other bedrooms and a queen size bed in the other. There is also a queen size air mattress available for a 7th guest, provided upon request, which is considered a 4th bed. It can be easily placed in the living room. Kittiwake Getaway does allow up to 7 guests. There is an additional fee for the 7th guest. Please see other listing details.

The expansive deck with a peekaboo view of the ocean across to Speiden Island offers a dining table with seating for 6, propane firepit table and propane barbeque grill (1 filled propane bottle for each provided) and is a great place to relax and unwind from a day's adventure, or to enjoy the serenity of the surroundings which include beautiful madrona, fir, and evergreens and abundant wildlife such as deer, eagles, native birds and fox.

Kittiwake Getaway is just 1 1/2 miles from Roche Harbor Resort Pool available to Roche Harbor Guests and the public (you) for a daily fee. The pool is seasonal and occasionally closed to the public so be sure to check what the availability is during the dates you stay.

**Dog** Friendly! We allow up to 2 dogs with an additional fee per dog per stay. Please see other listing details. VRBO does not provide the ability to add and pay for more than 1 pet at this time. Please let me know if you are bringing 2 dogs so I can send you the Pet Fee request for the second dog. No other pets are allowed.

While traveling it is often difficult to anticipate what the accommodations will consist of when you arrive. At “Kittiwake Getaway”, every effort has been made to provide an inviting “home away from home”. I have not skimped during the process of supplying the home with sundries, kitchen/ household items, appliances, and cookware. The home is meticulously cleaned between bookings. You can feel confident that every effort will be made to make sure your stay is a good and safe experience! No smoking allowed on the premises. Please remember, you are a guest, not a host. No more than booked number of guests and pets allowed on premises.

**Car charging is prohibited**. Garage is not for guest use.

**Only booked guests and dogs allowed on the premises** If you have plans other than what your booking states, i.e. invite others for dinner or an afternoon to hang out, pre-approval is required. Please contact me with details.

We had a FABULOUS experience. The house was clean and very well appointed, with thoughtful touches everywhere that made our stay so comfortable. The house is spacious and nicely decorated, and the beds were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed having breakfast every morning on the large gated patio, which has a peekaboo view of the water but is still very private. Susan is a very responsive and helpful host. We would happily visit again!

Susan’s property is amazing. Very comfortable and well equipped. The location is a little remote, but was perfect for our stay for a few days with family before a perfect wedding event at Saltwater Farm in Friday Harbor. We will certainly stay again when we have an opportunity.

This is one of the nicest VRBO's I've stayed in over the last 20 years. Besides being sparkly clean, there were so many touches that made it extra special. The kitchen was stocked with many extras (and had great coffee makers). The beds were super comfy. The floor plan is great for a family. I would highly recommend this wonderful home.

Had a wonderful stay at the Kittiwake Getaway! We have stayed in several VRBO's and this one was the best equipped one we have ever stayed at. From coffee and condiments to spices and pots and pans...everything we needed was there. The area is quiet and peaceful and the outside area was perfect for us. Highly recommended! If we are back in the area and in need of a place to stay, this will be out first choice!

Overall fine

House was as advertised. However, does not say in the listing that you cannot use the garage. Was informed upon arrival that the AC was out and nobody could service it for over a week until after we left. Ran out of propane on the second day and host refused to repay or buy more so we did it ourselves.
