  Excellent property. Views of the waterfront are very relaxing and magnificent. House had everything one needed and more:) The only downside is checking in at 4 PM and check out at 10 AM are very early given that you pay by day and majority of hotels have either 2-3 PM (Check in ) or 12 PM check out..anyway, i would still come back and stay again in the property!!!

  The house and location near roche were perfect for our stay on the island. It is such a beautiful location and true serenity. With 2 suites, the place is ideal for 2 couples. Only downside is the 4pm check in and 10am check out. I understand that cleaning and services in the island can be a challenge,but they should really give a discount given that you are losing basically a whole 1/2 day with the check in and out times.

  We had a wonderful stay at Davison Head Cove. The home is lovely and nicely stocked with essentials and the weather was just perfect for us! We even had a visit from a pair of seals in the cove.
  My only suggestions would be to add a little more/brighter lighting to the bedrooms.

  We had a lovely stay in your beautiful home. We were traveling with two adult children and a grand baby, so we loved the beautiful windows that let the outdoors come in, even when we were housebound with a napping baby! The kitchen is beautifully equipped and the home is exceptionally comfortable. This was our first trip to San Juan Island and I feel like we were lucky to stay outside of the ferry area in Friday Harbor. The Roche Harbor area is so lovely and much quieter! We will definitely return and hope to stay with you again.

  The house is very much as pictured. Beautiful view, peaceful location, very clear, nice layout with the two bedrooms on opposite ends of the house. Obviously well cared for by the owners.
  The ferry system out to the island seems to be in disarray. On our return trip we sat in the ferry line for seven hours, despite having a reservation. Locals and news reports indicate this is not unusual.

  Christina E from TIGARD, OR recommends this vacation rental

  We loved the house on Davison Head Road: the wall-of-windows overlooking Neil Bay, the peaceful location, and the cleanliness of it all. Not a fancy house, but well-done overall. The deck, which runs the length of the house, is a bit tricky in that the gaps between the deck boards are wide enough so that the legs of the outdoor chairs can fall into the gaps--be careful. There is a desk in the living room whose height can be adjusted to accommodate a sitting or standing position--cool. Tile/vinyl/hardwood floors: might be nice to have washable rugs in the bedrooms. Second bedroom could benefit from either a suitcase-stand or chest. Keyless entry instructions were clear and problem-free. Would definitely consider staying here again--thanks for everything.

  • Manager Responded on 5/11/2023

    Thank you for the review, and we are pleased to learn you enjoyed the stay. We always aim to improve and can inform you that the deck boards in the dining area have been adjusted to avoid cheers being stuck. We’ve added on rugs in the bedrooms and a stand in the second bedroom to make it easier handling suitcases. We hope to see you back again soon.

  My wife and I stayed here with our visiting teenage nieces and had a marvelous time. There was robust wildlife including eagles, seals, crabs, songbirds, and more. The nearby village of Roche Harbor is very quaint. Other activities are with an easy driving distance including lavender farms, whale watching, and numerous parks for hiking.
  
  The house itself is very well-kept, spacious, and forwards breathtaking views of the inlet. I would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a weekend or weeklong getaway that is at peace and in tune with nature.

  We really enjoyed our stay. Great location in fair weather and less than fair weather. We enjoyed predominantly sunny days, but the view is great either way. Comfortable bed, never a guarantee, and really clean with a well equipped kitchen. Bring your kayak if you paddle. You can easily launch just down the road.

  We were 4 adults and 2 small children. House is located within walking distance of Roche Harbor over-looking a small bay. Kids enjoyed searching for crabs and sea shells when tide was out. All locations of interest within a short drive. Outdoor deck and furniture. Plenty of seating with sleeping options and fully-equipped kitchen. Washer / dryer, large fridge. No air but we didn't miss it.

  Anna P from Salem, Oregon recommends this vacation rental

  The house at Davison Head was a delight in many ways. It was nicely furnished, attractively decorated, and had a well-stocked kitchen. It is the cleanest house we have ever rented...the hardwood and tile floors are a perfect touch. The closet systems are wonderful....lots of shelves and hangers, and so smartly laid out. The only drawback was the lack of a real patio set on the deck, and the precarious paths to the chairs mid-way down, and to the stairs leading to the water.
