The view was terrific, just like the pictures. The beds upstairs were comfortable and provided a great nights sleep. The grill worked well and the piano and pool table were an added bonus, although it smells very musty in the basement so we did not spend a lot of time there. The living room couches were uncomfortable. Of greater concern was the electric in the house, as there were no operable lights outside or upon entry through the back door into the laundry area. This was a definite concern when coming from your car in the dark. The kitchen overhead light was not functional even though we followed the very specific directions for use. The fuse box was locked and there was a lot of extension cord usage throughout the house and not enough outlets. The kitchen faucet did not function properly and was difficult to turn off.
Beautiful area and wonderful view of Roche Harbor marina.
The view of Roche Harbor Marina was fantastic from the deck. Also the close location to Roche, playground and pool is ideal for families. House plan again is good for families with a downstairs children's area with twin beds, TV, piano and pool table.The house is older, so don't expect perfection. The carpets are very worn and should be replaced throughout the house, wood would be better. Downstairs is very musty and needs window screens on all windows to allow air flow. The photos on the website were obviously taken a good few years ago, house is now dated. The overgrown back was resolved by the property management. They're very helpful and easy to work with. If the house is updated we will return.
Great View from deck! Walking distance to Roche Harbor!
Property inside and needed a lot of work and updating. From the untended yard and worn out deck to the worn out orange shag carpeting, the list of things that need work was overwhelming but the view was amazing.
Thank you for your comments about your stay at Roche Harbor Heights. That home is a classic, comfortable island home with some classic features (pictures on our website). It is one of our most affordable homes with such a spectacular view, and a great location within walking distance of the quaint village of Roche Harbor and its beautiful marina and waterfront restaurants. We hope to welcome you again to a vacation rental home in the amazing San Juan Islands.

This home has a spectacular view of the water and is within walking distance to the resort. The home is in need of updating as the carpets are dirty and threadbare in places. The handrail is a safety hazard and needs repaired. It sleeps 6 people comfortably with 3 bedrooms. Check-in was a breeze!
This house was in a great location for our family reunion. We could walk to restaurants in Roche Harbor. There was even a small view of the boats below. We would stay here again.
We had a lovely time and the view and location were fantastic. There was a great view of the harbor, boats, and small planes landing at the doc. In the basement was a pool table that was full size and quite good lots of fun - although it had 2 cue balls and no 8 ball. Overall, very enjoyable time but the building itself needs much work - the deck is in need of paint and board replacements, many lamps were broken, had no bulbs, or no extension cords so that they could be used. Some of the deck chairs were broken. Plenty of blankets, comforters, etc. in top 2 bedrooms - attractive! The downstairs bedroom was quite dreary and dark, but the downstairs main room (where fold-out queen and the pool table were) was brighter. I will say a conditional yes to recommending the place it would depend on the people and their expectations. As for returning, I would certainly want to know that the lighting issues had been addressed.
Overall, this is a very nice place in Roche Harbor with fantastic views of the bay. It has enough room for 6-8 people easily. It is a bit dated but everything was functional and the beds comfy and th showers/water pressure outstanding
Ideal Island escape for multiple couples. Accommodations are first class and spacious private spaces for couples, but group areas (kitchen and especially deck areas) are perfect for everyone to congregate. Morning coffee on the deck captures the calm we hoped for on this (and every) San Juan islands escape. Beverly and Steve are great hosts.
The house was fine. It had all the basics- bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen. The kids loved the pool table and piano. The entire house was just a bit dated. From the carpets to the furniture, everything just had a very old feel to it.
We loved the location and quiet of the house. Lovely view of marina.. It is well equipped and comfortable. The decks are in need of some care and the short stairway to the house needs to be better marked to prevent a fall.
We were staying with friends on their boats during the day, just sleeping at this home. It was really nice that it was on the trail to the tennis courts, swimming, field, and an easy & safe walk to the docks.The piano and pool table are a nice touch for extra entertainment.
It had been about 10 years since we rented this house the last time. The house is just right for our family. It is in a great location-just the right distance from Roche Harbor. This house needs an upstairs TV and the downstairs bathroom needs a new commode. Property management extremely helpful.
The location near the marina in Roche Harbor was fabulous. The view was spectacular. My only complaint is about the downstairs. The TV was downstairs as was the second bathroom and the two nice bedrooms were upstairs with a bath in between. We were looking for a home with 2 BR and 2 BA which this was but it meant one of us had to use the bathroom downstairs. Downstairs did not smell like mothballs but it smelled like something slightly unpleasant. The carpet is '70s. It would have been nice to have a longer couch upstairs in the main part of the house along with a TV. It would also be nice to have a table outside, maybe even a bistro set with chairs and a small table or two. We wanted to eat every meal on the deck but all they had were gravity chairs which aren't that easy to eat out of. The view and location was worth everything but some small changes would make it slightly more comfortable and practical.

Great location. Just a short walk to the resort. View from deck was perfect.
The location of this rental is great, and the view to the marina and the activity was very nice. Overall the property itself was comfortable for our 10 day stay. The downside...the carpets in the house desperately need to be replaced. Downstairs smells old and musty. Upstairs was pleasant, but needs to be updated. Recommendation do away with old flower arrangements and plants in the upstairs living room.
Excellent experience!
This house was perfect for our family: two young children, two grandparents, two parents and two aunts. We all had a place to sleep and plenty of room to not trip on each other. We lucked out with the weather, but even if it had rained, we would have had a covered porch to sit on and games to play. The view was lovely, though we didn't spend much time in Roche Harbor, the whole island isn't that big, so it's not far from anything. The company was lovely and easy to work with.
The view from the deck was beautiful and plenty of chairs for us all to enjoy. And an easy walk to Roche Harbor. Living space was comfortable and an easy kitchen to fix meals.Good hot showers but you had to keep them short and allow time for the hot water tank to fill up. I would happily stay there again.
We loved the location of this rental. Great views of Roche Harbor and hearing the colors ceremony every night was a great memory. The house is easy walking distance to Roche Harbor village, and the access to the community beach was great for launching kayaks or just watching the amazing sunsets. There is so much to do on San Juan (sea kayaking, boating, golfing, cycling etc) that we didn't leave enough time for just relaxing on the deck.
The house itself is well stocked and had everything we needed. The decor is a little dated but very comfortable. We had a couple maintenance issues but the property manager was very good about resolving them quickly. We got pretty much what we expected and felt like it was a great value for the price.
We all had a wonderful time.
The location is incredible. The house is older and needs upgrades. The downstairs is musty and mildew smelling - causing our kids who slept there to cough. Hole in back yard that goes through to drain field needs to be fixed. Our 5 year old grandson stepped into it and scraped his leg and lost his crock. We left other notes at the house when we left. Pool table is fun. Our 11 year old granddaughter got very good at it.
The view from this property is excellent. The decor is very dated, but you're here for the view, and the amenities of Roche Harbor. I'll definitely bring my family back here. Thanks so much!
My wife and our 6 year old son and 4 year old son really enjoyed ourselves at this home. Very cozy, great location to the harbor (easy walking distance) and one of the only unobstructed views of the Harbor on Afterglow Dr. We will definitely be coming back again in the near future.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! We hope to see you again soon.
We love this place and can't wait to get married there next year!
House was in good condition. We had a great time.
