  We had a lovely long weekend at the Horseshoe Bay House. The house was clean and in great shape. The kitchen was well stocked -- far beyond what we expected! Rooms were comfortable. And the view was amazing. Having the beach for launching paddleboards (and seeing a seal!) was great. We would definitely visit again!

  David L from Austin, Texas recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this quiet, well-appointed, clean, comfortable, and ideally situated house. We brought our own kayak and launched easily from the small beach below the house, enjoying daily paddles around the calm waters and to English Camp, Henry Island, and the Wescott Bay Shellfish dock to eat at their restaurant. The weather was ideal and the west-facing view provided beautiful sunsets every evening. Though next to the gravel road and a shared private dock, we had no issue with noise (it's not a thru-road), and the neighbors were quiet and respectful when they used the dock. The lovely kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals, and the outside gas grill was easy to use. We were sad to leave and look forward to returning!

  We could not have asked for a more perfect place. The pictures don’t do the views justice. If you’re looking for peaceful and beautiful surroundings you’ve found it. I can’t wait to go back. The home is just what you need. Clean and has everything you need.

  a guest from TIGARD, OR recommends this vacation rental

  We loved staying at the Horseshoe Bay House, it was extremely comfortable and clean!
  
  we cooked many meals here and were impressed with their fully-stocked kitchen! After thumbing through their cookbooks, we were drawn to "Baking with Julia", we just had to make the Blueberry Nectarine pie, and we had everything we needed, down to the microplane for zesting a lemon!
  
  We saw a harbor seal playing in the bay, otters sunbathing on a nearby boat, bald eagles flying all from the living room. Our daughter loved their large collection of games and toys, especially "Pit", who knew a four-year-old enjoyed buying and selling commodities :)
  
  Thank you for offering up your lovely home we will be back!

  We had a great time(group of four), the house was beautiful and the location was stunning. We sat outside every morning and night watching the bay. Easy requests asked for checkout. Just wish we could have walked down to the end of the dock to take a few pictures or down on to the beach for a few pictures.

  • Manager Responded on 4/1/2024

    We are glad you enjoyed your time at this lovely house. This home now offers beach access! As of March 2024 this home has a lovely staircase leading down to the waterfront.

  Escaped to Friday Harbor for a few days of quiet away from the city. The home is exactly as depicted on the listing. Incredible condition for a rental. Lots of comfortable seating, all with a view. Rental process was very smooth and communication was excellent. Home is somewhat remote, on the other hand you are on an island. Highly recommend this home for that special getaway.

  Catherine B from Seattle, WA recommends this vacation rental

  We have now stayed at this property twice with a upcoming plan for a third; that fact alone underscores my high approval of this location. The Horseshoe Bay House is a lovely property tucked into the quieter side of San Juan. It was exactly as described in the description. Those who like to cook will love the extremely well appointed kitchen; I generally travel with my favorite gear (sharp knives, specialty gear) and all of that has stayed packed as the kitchen has everything you need. The bedrooms are spacious with large closets and new and comfortable bathrooms both of which have showers only. We loved the outdoor area and had multiple meals outside. The house is close to the road but it is quiet and we were not disturbed by this fact during any of our stays. During crab season, the house is a kayak trip away from all the best spots.
  Finally, the hosts are very thoughtful having stocked the house throughout with needed items making our whole stay really easy.

  Paul L from Katonah, Ny 10536, NY recommends this vacation rental

  Stayed in this house Tu-Fri in mid July as a last minute booking. Beautiful, comfortable, immaculate home -much better than expected. A couple of considerations - it's about a 20 minute (easy drive) from Friday harbor and there is no actual access to the water at the home though the view is fantastic. Very easy access to North end of the island including Roche Harbor.

  • Manager Responded on 7/19/2021

    We are so glad you enjoyed your time at the Horseshoe Bay House! This is a beautiful home with unbeatable views. As of March 2024, this home has beach access! A staircase has been added leading from the bank to the waterfront. Guests now have access to the lovely, tide-dependent, beach below the home.
