The Captain's Cottage is in a truly wonderful location down a private road to Davison Head. It overlooks the beach at the Isthmus which is a popular spot to sit and enjoy some of the most spectacular sunsets you’ll ever see! The Cottage is situated on its own half acre lot with several old growth cedar trees and abundant wildlife. The privacy you will find here may be just what you’re looking for.
Built originally as a fishing shack, it has been totally remodeled into a cozy seaside cottage for two. The kitchen is well equipped including full sized stainless steel appliances and a gourmet range. The living room has large picture windows to bring in the light and view regardless of the season. The bathroom includes a pedestal sink and tiled shower. The bedroom features a custom-made Craftsman style Queen bed, a quality mattress, and a new wall mounted Smart TV with YouTube subscription including local channels. Outside is a great deck with a propane BBQ and comfortable seating. The perfect place to enjoy dinner and a glass of wine during the summer evenings.
Roche Harbor Resort and Marina is a pleasant walk away. Follow the charming country road and discover a “secret” pathway which leads you on a scenic route along the water’s edge. The recreational options are endless. Everything from Orca whale watching, kayaking, bicycling, hiking, shopping and dining. Bring your own kayak and launch from the Isthmus, Posey Island is only a short paddle away!
There is so much more to be discovered while staying at this wonderful property!

If youre looking for a quiet spot near Roche Harbor that accommodates 2 people comfortably, this is an excellent choice. Great shower, great bed, comfy couch and decent size kitchen. Highly recommend.
Exactly what we expected 3 nights very comfortable good views. All amenities were in good condition would recommend giving it a try
We had such a lovely time at this cottage! First of all, the staff (especially, Leila) are amazing!! Leila worked with my best friend to surprise me with flowers in the house upon arrival. Above and beyond. The house is super cozy, has everything, safe. We had deer outside the door, birds, beautiful trees and a partial view of the water. I would suggest bringing a car here as it is about 2 miles to Roche Harbor. However, you do have a view of the water and it is literally a sanctuary. I only wish we had more time to hang out! The home is clean, great stove, kitchen, streaming tv, nice appliances. We will definitely recommend this to others.
Truly perfect cozy cottage for a couples getaway. Lovely location in a peaceful neighborhood. Sweet view. Very well-equipped home and super clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
This rental far exceeded our expectations - the pictures don't do it justice! The location was very quiet and had a lovely view. The cottage was extremely clean and well-equipped. There wasn't a single thing missing - the bed was comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed (and more!), cozy throws for the living room, etc. The deck was a peaceful place to start and end the day. We did a lot of hiking and found the location to be an easy drive to Lime Kiln, American Camp, and, well, everywhere - it is a small island! A beautiful natural setting - we were even awakened by fox calls on our last night! Highly recommend. :)
Captain's Cottage is our favorite getaway on San Juan Island. Its tranquil setting, water view, well-stocked kitchen, fir floors, comfy bed, and plush towels make it a very special place. Reserving the cottage and check-in/out is easy thanks to Northwest Island Escapes and Kyle's attentive service. We'll be back again and again.
This is a small but updated and well appointed property. My wife and I had a great time. The neighborhood is full of nice homes and vacation/summer homes. It is only a little over a mile to Roche Harbor and my wife and I walked to and from Roche Harbor daily. While small the bathroom and kitchen function very well. The proximity to the water is fantastic. We really enjoyed the gas fireplace during the early November cool air. It;s only about an 8 mile drive to Friday Harbor. Great spot!!!
The Captains Cottage provided a cozy and welcoming venue for us to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We found it extreme clean and well-equipped. We had some initial difficulty opening the lockbox in pouring rain and darkness, but got help quickly with a phone call to the management. Great location for walking to Roche Harbor and close to English Camp and Young Hill.
Unique place in the woods, with spectacular view. Lovely walkable neighborhood. Glad we stayed up on this part of the island - - we otherwise might have missed so many great sights. Great communication with property management - thanks for dropping by water when the water line was being worked on!
The moment we arrived at Captains Cottage we knew we had made the right choice - it was lovely, picturesque, clean comfortable . . . Everything we wanted in our stay. The view was lovely also being so close to the water. We walked every day around the beautiful, scenic neighborhood. It was slightly chilly but paddleboarded in the bay. We walked almost daily to Roche Harbor,. No one seemed to mind at all that we went down the dirt road on the shoreline, which comes out right in Roche Harbor.
Initially the warming stove / fireplace wasnt working but someone came right out to get it going for us. We felt like the property management was very attentive. No complaints. We plan certainly to return and highly recommend!
Thank you for your review and that you had a wonderful time at the home as it is a special place indeed. The dirt road along the shoreline you are talking about is part of the old Tangney Memorial Drive and is owned by Roche Harbor. They welcome everyone to use the path the only rule is no motor vehicles are allowed on it. Thank you again for staying with us and we look forward to you visiting us another time here on San Juan Island.

I can't wait to stay here again! The setting is peaceful and perfect. The amenities are great. I loved having a full kitchen, and then some, available to me. They've thought of just about everything a person could want in a vacation rental. The home was very clean, very comfortable and, very inviting.
I only have 2,000 characters to use for my review? Not enough!
I love San Juan Island as my vacation destination. I love to spend time at Lime Kiln State park and take in the scenery as I await the orcas. I love Pelindaba Lavendar Farms, San Juan Cellars, Roche Harbor, San Juan Coffee Roasters, and the Gourmet shop. I love the views from above South Beach and Cattle Point. I love that I always get a visit from a red fox and a black fox and all the deer. I love the nature of San Juan and the slower pace of life (45 miles per hour please!). The island is so accessible. The sunsets are grand.
This was very nice property. It was small an cozy but very comfortable. Loved watching seals from the porch
Great location close to Roche Harbor town with great beach access for our kayaks! Very comfortable and clean and nicely appointed. Great stay!
We loved Captain's Cottage!! Wonderful location, very attractive and well supplied interior. Is walking distance to Roach Harbor. We look forward to another visit.
We had a wonderful time at the cottage and could have easily stayed there another week! It was just perfect spot for us to relax and enjoy the beauty of the island. We also loved the proximity to Roche Harbor and all of the services there.
We enjoyed a romantic weekend in this charming island getaway. The cottage is pretty and clean, set back in the trees with peekaboo views of the water. An eagle nests in the tree behind the house, and deer, bunnies, and foxes visit at dusk. Highly recommend.
This place was clean and well organized. Great location.
Thank you for your review of The Captains Cottage. This is a favorite of many of our guests; it is such a quaint, unique, comfortable cozy place and right across the road from two different beaches! We look forward to welcoming you to one of our lovely vacation homes again for another visit to the gorgeous San Juan Islands.

My wife and I loved this cozy cottage nestled atop a knoll among the pines. Quiet and serene, and just a short drive, or healthy mile walk, to Roche Harbor.
We had our morning coffee on the deck overlooking the small bay. And fresh salmon on the efficient gas grill in the evening, while we watched a mother and baby deer and small gray fox who visited us.
The especially comfortable bed and top-notch furnishings are wonderful.
We highly recommend this charming spot. We'll be back!
The Captain's Cottage was the perfect place for us. The view is amazing and the area is on a quiet cove. The cottage was nicely furnished with everything we needed for a fantastic vacation. Thank you for offering this fabulous property for our vacation.
The Captains Cottage is a perfect and tranquil rental with sounds of the rolling waves crashing into the beach located just a stone's throw away. The cottage is quaint, clean and has everything you need. We truly enjoyed our time here and would recommend to anyone looking to stay!
This little house was clean and well equipped with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The bed was especially comfortable and the propane woodstove was a cozy touch. However, this cabin was more in the woods than the photos depict and it really does not have the view the description suggests. It is not really walkable to Roche Harbor as mentioned fact, the information book showed that you would be trespassing if you did. A little difficult to find from offered directions as well.
Nicely appointed and well maintained cabin. A unique experience complete with deer, birds and an ever changing view of the water. Very comfortable. Keep a close look out for the "hidden" drive on your right just as you reach
the street it is on.
