We've compiled the best of the best in San Juan Island - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
At this bluff-top getaway, floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek, modern wood furnishings, and fabrics in serene hues fill the rooms—all of which have gas fireplaces, deep jetted tubs, Chemex pour-over coffee carafes, electric tea kettles, mini-refrigerators, and at least partial views of the marina, ferry landing, and San Juan Channel below. The ferries are especially enjoyable to watch dock after dark, when they're all lit up.
At this popular cottage resort and marina on the northwest side of the island, all of the units feature tall windows overlooking the water, high ceilings, well-equipped kitchens, knotty-pine wood paneling, gas fireplaces, and private decks. Each cottage sleeps up to four (even the one bedrooms have additional hideaway beds). You can book a kayak or whale-watching tour, leaving daily from the marina, and there's a small camp store and coffeehouse on-site.
