WATERFRONT VACATION RENTAL HOME ON SAN JUAN ISLAND WITH COVE BEACH, HOT TUB, & VIEWS TO DIE FOR.

"Thanks for letting us share this awesome place. Decided not to leave, hope you don't mind!" This sentiment entered in our guestbook entry is echoed time and again by those who vacation at Robinson's Cove. For good reason, this is one of our most popular vacation rental homes - you'll need to book this perfect slice of paradise early!

This San Juan Island vacation home has spectacular 180 degree views of blue waterways, neighboring islands, and the Cascade Range, including Mt. Baker. In addition to the superb natural surroundings, the setting of the home is also an attraction as it's located in the desirable NE corner of San Juan Island - a wonderful base for walking, riding bikes, and there's even a path that leads from the property to a neighborhood park where you can picnic and kayak in the cove.The home offers a great wrap-around deck and a hot tub privately perched onto the hillside.

The home offers attractive furnishings, a nicely equipped kitchen, and the contemporary conveniences of WIFI and satellite TV. The floor plan will please both families and couples traveling together. On the main level are the kitchen, dining areas, and a living room with windowseats just perfect for lounging to embrace the view and cozy up to a fire. On this level, you'll also find the master bedroom with a king-size bed and private bath. On the lower level there are two guest bedrooms and a shared bath. One of these bedrooms offers a king size bed, waterview, and patio. The other has a queen bed and access to the hot tub and sauna. Also downstairs is the family room with computer desk, wood stove, deluxe queen-size sofabed, laundry room, and a fooseball table to enjoy.

Kids will love the trails and play areas on this 1.5 acre property, but as there is high-bank exposure on the waterside, children and dogs do require supervision when outdoors.

Robinson’s Cove is a 15 minute drive from Friday Harbor and only a 5 minute drive from Roche Harbor's dining options, post office, airport, marina, spa, & grocery.

    Our family enjoyed our time at Robinson's Cove. The view was amazing. We enjoyed preparing and sharing meals in the large kitchen. There were so many things to do without even going out of the driveway - puzzles, scrabble, foosball, the hot tub, enjoying the view from the deck, playing croquet and basketball, exploring on the beach, and the list goes on and on. This was the perfect spot for our family vacation this year!

    Our family thoroughly enjoyed this home. The view is breathtaking...the house sits right on the edge of a bluff. We loved our deck time! The house owners have thought of every possible item one could need from the kitchen to the baths to the badminton and bikes. We loved our stay.

    Beautiful house, stunning views, and in a very unique location that has a convenient path through the woods down to a park with great tidal pools to explore. We saw seals, otters, and more from the deck. Very nice amenities such as the grill, hot tub, bikes, etc. Very private location. Loved it.

    During our stay we saw deer, bald eagles and otters all from the deck! You couldn't ask for better views! The only downside to our stay would be that we were given the wrong code to the keybox and some of the towels had a musty smell. Other than that everything was wonderful! I would definitely recommend to a friend or stay here on our next trip!

  • I did not want this to reflect our thoughts on the property but there did seem to be an infestation of some sort of insect--perhaps termites? We left a note to the housekeeper about it (as well as a sample of a dead bug).

    It's unfortunate that we had to worry about killing bugs during our stay but didn't feel it was because of negligent housekeeping. The homeowner should have it checked out though.

    • Manager Responded on 10/4/2010

      Sorry about the bugs! We do live closely with nature on the Islands and try to avoid chemicals - unfortunately that can result in"sharing" a bit more of the interior spaces than we prefer. There are also "seasons" for various insects and they disappear when the premises are treated periodicallly. Thanks for the tip and we'll investigate.

    This house was absolutly wonderful and there really were no complaints. We enjoyed this house with a couple large group of friends for a three day weekend and it turned out great. There was plenty of room, large kitchen and amazing view to enjoy all day and evening! The only complaint is there is really not much beach access but the view definitly makes up for that.

    a guest from Rhinebeck, New York recommends this vacation rental

    You will walk in and drop your luggage--the view is breathtaking. You are feet from the water, with ferries passing, eagles swooping and whales blowing. The house itself is comfortable enough with furnishings from the eighties. The kitchen is well-stocked, even for those who really like to cook, but frankly all you'll really want to do is to sit on the deck (or inside or in the hottub) and oogle the view. We loved our few days there and would love to have stayed longer.

    Sandy L from Mountlake Terrace, WA recommends this vacation rental

    We love the San Juan Islands and were fortunate to find Robinson Cove for our wedding. We were married on the balcony and could not have asked for a more beautiful day and scenery back drop. Our guests were thrilled to see sea otters, purposes, and sea lions. The county park is a short walk away and is perfect for beach combing. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The beds are very comfortable. The wood for the fire place was well stocked.
    The down side. We were swarmed with bees on the back balcony and they often got into the house during our stay so we spent a lot of time on bee removal as well as bee swatting during our ceremony.

    a guest from Seattle, WA recommends this vacation rental

    The house is beautiful, clean, and great location. Unfortunately, the hot tub did not heat up and there was no contact information to call to have this issue addressed. Also, I was not pleased with all the hidden fees

    • Manager Responded on 6/8/2011

      We are sorry that you had difficulty with the hot tub and have issued a credit for your inconvenience. However, we don't understand the difficulty in contacting us for assistance because our Friday Harbor office was staffed 8:30-5:30 on all days of your stay and both office and a 24 hour contact phone number were provided on the arrival instructions you referenced to enter the home. These phone numbers are again provided on the front cover and inside the home info manual. Your comment regarding hidden fees is also puzzling because all applicable charges are clearly stated on the website property overview, policy, and booking pages, and again specifically detailed in the booking confirmation. Regardless, we appreciate your positive comments about this lovely home and hope to see you again!

    Thaddeus G from La Center, WA does not recommend this vacation rental.

    Amazing location and view, however there were many cleanliness issues. 3 sets of dirty/stained pillow cases on upstairs bedroom pillows, hair/dirt on both bathroom floors/counters, stained bathroom towels, dirty dishes in cupboard and the freezer wreaked of fish from the moment we walked in the door. By the second day, the refrigerator smelled of fish despite the baking soda box in the door. By the third day, the kitchen seemed to smell of fish. Perhaps the fish "juice" had leaked down onto floor below fridge? We have rented homes on San Juan and Orcas through VRBO and the homes were immaculate. We assumed a rental through Windermere would be held to even higher standards. Dissapointed.

    • Manager Responded on 10/19/2011

      Thaddeus, this is so distressing to hear that the house was not prepared to either your or our standards. This is a very popular home and overall our guests are extrememly happy with Robinson's Cove as well as our other properties. Your experience is a very unusual occurence and I will be investigating where we went wrong in preparing the home for you.
