Peaceful Bayside Home the Woods (Sleeps 6, max 8) Relax and breathe in fresh sea air while dining on the spacious sun-soaked deck, overlooking sparkling water through large bay-view windows, or lounging on the pebble beach listening to gentle waves and watching gulls, eagles, and otters cruise by. Very private and nestled among madrona and fir trees, this vacation home is fantastic during any season of the year and perfect for a family vacation, gathering of friends, or romantic getaway. A five minute drive (25 minute walk) from Roche Harbor, you'll get privacy and peaceful accomodations but will still be close by to lots of fun on-island activities.

The open, high ceiling livingroom/dining area/kitchen in the main house is perfect for family or friends group gatherings. Cozy and picturesque during colder months, and stunning in the warm, sunny months.MAIN HOUSE: Large windows let in tons of natural light. The central living room area (gas stove included) connects to an open kitchen which has lots of counter space, a view of the water, and is fully stocked with cooking appliances and staples.

In addition to views of the bay, the property looks out into lush greenery of "British Camp", a protected national park. Across the bay is the world-famous Westcott Bay Shellfish Company, a small operation on the water's edge. You can dig clams or collect mussels along the property's beachfront. If you travel by boat to the islands, Westcott Bay is a great place for dungeness crabbing during open season (typically July through September/October; details about open season and licenses can be found on the Washington Dept of Fish & Wildlife website). Fishing for trout, salmon, and bottomfish is also popular in the region and excursions can be arranged with local tour/recreation companies based in Friday Harbor or Roche Harbor.ACTIVITIES: The surrounding region is great for walking, hiking, kayaking, biking, boating, fishing, and crabbing. Friday Harbor is 20 minutes away by car or 1 hour by bike. Large ocean-side beaches are a 20-30 minute drive to the other side of the island (e.g. American Camp or South Beach).
