Heron House on Westcott Bay – Waterfront living near Roche Harbor

Welcome to picturesque Westcott Bay, a quiet retreat, 5 minutes walk from Roche Harbor Resort, shopping and all marina facilities. Heron House is a dog friendly vacation rental newly constructed in October of 2017…3 minutes walk to Roche Harbor’s dog park. Fly in, boat in, or drive in, you’re never more than 5 minutes walk to the Heron House.

What to do on Westcott Bay? Well, you could walk 50 feet out your back door to the beach, or stroll, on all but the highest tides, to Picnic Island. Use the two fishing kayaks to paddle around the bay, troll a line, or set a crab trap. On the weekend, paddle over to the Westcott Bay Shellfish farm for their famous barbequed oysters. Maybe you’d like to hike the nationally recognized trails … all without having to get in your car! If it’s a stroll you have in mind, walk the 3 mile loop past the sculpture gardens (off leash for dogs), through Roche Harbor Resort itself, stopping briefly at Westcott Bay Cider for a tasting, catch a rare Pokémon at the lighthouse mailbox opposite the old quarry 9 swimming hole, and … you’re back home.

If drive you must, head over to Lime Kiln Point for some orca watching, tide pooling, or having a picnic lunch. You could drive 9 miles into the big city of Friday Harbor for all the amenities of a small town.

Roche Harbor Resort provides the opportunity to book a whale watching trip, join a kayak tour around the north end of Henry Island, or, if you’re lucky…schedule a wedding 

The Heron House is named for the great blue herons that daily stalk the shallows or perch on Picnic Island. Bring your camera for some close up shots of them or the bald eagles that fish in Westcott Bay.

However you enjoy our home, we’re glad you stopped by.

Cheers,

Dave and Sue and Stella-mae

It’s easy to talk about how beautiful this home is as well as how fantastic the location is. My wife and I have stayed here four times, and it truly is a beautiful setting. What gets lost is how fantastic the hosts Dave and Sue are. Communication is very easy, and both Dave and Sue are great to work and visit with. No matter how beautiful a place is, if the experience with the host is poor, more than likely you’re not coming back. There are multiple reasons that we keep booking this home, and Dave and Sue are a big part of that! We look forward to making our 5th reservation!

We had our annual girls weekend and the place was perfect! The view was absolutely beautiful and it was in walking distance of so many places! We walked to the Sculptures, Roche Harbor, did some hiking and had a wonderful time. We were able to eat in with the fantastic kitchen, play games, etc. The only thing I would recommend is maybe having an outdoor heater so we could hang out on the deck later! They had everything else you could think of from Kayaks, Paddle boards, Ping Pong, etc. The hosts had prompt communication and the place was just perfect!

What a beautiful and well-appointed home in a peaceful and lovely, private location. The beds were super comfortable. Towels fresh. We all 6 had plenty of hot water. The home was nice and clean, with simple and sensible check-out instructions. All of us agreed we would stay here again when we come back to SJI. We could not ask for more. Excellent for real!!

Beautifully appointed home with all the special touches from the sea themed dishes already set on the table to the expansive views from each room. Dave was great at always responding to our inquiries and very helpful in each communication. Our group of friends found the property so inviting and a touch of the PNW to stay in their hearts long after their experience at this magical place. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We look forward to coming again with our golden, Soleil.

The home & site were perfect except there were not two bedrooms on the main floor as described. The en suite bathroom on the main floor opened directly into the living room, frequently surprising people dressing or showering. There were no trash bags in the kitchen, but a horribly smelly and filthy sponge in the kitchen sink. Except for about 18” of clothes-hanging space, the 1st floor bedroom closet was completely packed with extra bedding, high chair, baby toys and gear. The main floor bath and bedroom had no windows looking out at the view; one window looked at the cars in the driveway and the other looked at the neighbor’s windows about 30’ away. From the living room and upstairs bedrooms, the view was gorgeous.
