Utter Seclusion on 600 Feet of Waterfront , Free WiFi

Situated on 600 feet of both rocky and sandy beach, this contemporary home sits on one of San Juan Island's largest stretches of private waterfront, attracting deer, owls, fox, seals, otters and bald eagles. Take in the 180 degree view from Spieden Island to Mount Baker. You will welcome the amazing morning sunrises to spectacular sunsets from this uniquely situated home.
We supply crab pots, shrimp pots and dip nets which you can use right off the beach. Go down at night with a flashlight and the dip net. Shine the light into the water and the shrimp come to the surface. Some guests like to scuba dive off our property which is full of crab and scallop.
Except at very high tide, at the bottom of the wooden stairs, there is a cove to launch kayaks. This side of the Island is the safest for kayaking and almost always calm.
The open floor plan in this home has a spiral staircase to sleeping loft that sleeps 4. The bedroom has super-comfortable California King bed with views of the water. The casual dining right off the completely equipped kitchen and just steps from the outdoor deck. Wood stove in the living room will make this a pleasant stay in cooler months too!

Ideal secluded getaway
This place was exactly what I had hoped for it to be: a peaceful abode in a picturesque location where I could find solitude and time for creative contemplation. Would love to visit again sometime in the future!

Home away from home
A spectacular, private retreat on a gem of an island. Our stay was completely comfortable, we saw so many animals from the property, and our dog also had a blast. Plenty of home comforts, a fire pit, beach access, and lots to go explore and see. We’ll be back!

Nice private getaway
My sister and I stayed 4 nights in late September. We enjoyed the water view and privacy. The night sky was beautiful on the clear nights and once we saw a sea lion move along the shore front.

What a view!
We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay for our week on San Juan Island. It’s a very private, waterfront home looking out over the channel to Shaw Island, and a quick ten minute trip into Friday Harbor for essentials from King’s like the famous King Cookie! Can’t tell you how many of those we ate. It was a little chilly for us Floridians, but the radiant heat available throughout made it very comfy. Our host, Charles, was prompt with his replies, and the housekeeper, Michelle, was very sweet and available at a moment’s notice. Really, I’m almost hesitant to post this review because I want to keep this place our little secret. Oh well, cat’s out of the bag. 😂

Romantic Getaway
We loved our stay here. It was perfect for us, and we will be returning in the future. I had kayaked the San Juans 20 years ago with my son and his friends and always wanted to bring my husband. We explored all the wonderful places on the island and the weather was great. The kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed. Thank you for the opportunity to stay here!

The perfect oasis!
We had the most lovely time during our stay here! The house is private and has the most incredible view. We loved sitting on the deck and down by the outdoor fire pits watching boats come and go. We even saw an orca! The house was very clean and decorated so cute! The kitchen had everything you needed to cook in and cozying up to a nice fire at the end of the day was lovely. Shower had great water pressure, bed was comfy, and wifi connection was great. Our pup sure loved hanging out here too! Owner was very responsive, helpful, and kind. We can't wait to be back!!

the perfect space to relax
Thank you to our hosts for letting us stay in their beautiful property. Close enough to Friday Harbor for quick grocery or lunch trips, but secluded enough to not worry about humans around you. We enjoyed the views, nature, and even saw Orcas right in front of the house. House was clean, and the property owners was very responsive and helpful. Great vacation!

Incredible home with amazing views
We had such an awesome time staying in this home, it was so pretty inside, clean and cozy! The view is amazing and we will definitely return for another stay. It was also nice that we were centrally located between Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor. Communications with the owner was a delight and informative. Thank you so much for sharing your property with us!

Another Idyllic stay
This was our 6th consecutive year visiting this corner of paradise. Seclusion, quiet, beautifully stunning vistas - there is nothing not to like. Many upgrades to the kitchen this year made our stay even more hospitable - not that it has ever been bad. Michelle was attendant to our every need and went above and beyond the call more than once to make sure all was as it should be. We will be back.

We had the best time staying at Point Caution! We had a nice, but rainy time exploring the island and knowing we had a cozy place to return to each day was heavenly. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. There's nothing better than waking up with this view and enjoying a cup of coffee! Thank you, Charles!

Nice place. VERY private. Great get away and place I could stage a "message in a bottle" engagement request. Rocky beach and no sand but thankfully I had the bottle attached to a net so could "hang it up" on some roots to be "found" by my girlfriend. Got some great video. Thanks a ton. Willy .

Perfect Honeymoon
We came here for our long overdue honeymoon. It was perfect. We both wanted someplace very simple and cold weather and we for sure got that. We were snowed in for 4 days out of our 7 but it was worth it all!! The house was so cute the view was unbelievable. We loved that it was a full house so we could cook the whole time we were gone. We cannot wait to stay here again. Charles and his wife were the perfect host. We had to call him a couple of times and he answered right away and helped us figure stuff out which had nothing to do with him or his home. Our life has been super busy and stressful so coming out to the island was perfect. We came from Texas and it was worth every second we were here.

Peaceful retreat with a gorgeous view
My family of 5 had a great stay. The cabin is easy to find, is on an isolated property, right on the shore. Gorgeous sunrises with Mt. Baker outlined darkly against the glowing sky. The cabin is comfortable, and fit our family nicely. Lots of light. The house is on the well, and, as is the case for most wells on the island the water has a strong smell of sulfur. Perfectly fine for washing, but not pleasant to drink. The hosts are upfront about it, and provide large jugs of filtered water for cooking and drinking.

Great location near the water! Very Clean! Kitchen was impressively stocked. Host was awesome and there were extra blankets and firewood for fireplace (we stayed in early-mid December). It was great to have and know about the well water in advance as 5 of us (my wife and I and 3 children ages 19, 16 and 12) and we were able to easily make this arrangement work!
