The home comes with a fully equipped kitchen as well as an outdoor BBQ. Enjoy your morning coffee and meals on the large deck on the water’s edge. You will have your own private dock so make sure to bring your kayaks and paddle boards (dock is not suitable for boat tie-up due to extreme tides) The separate game room has a pool table, ping pong, darts, and lawn games. The property is located just 4 miles away from the famous Roche Harbor Resort that offers a corner grocery store, a coffee stand, 3 delicious restaurants (seasonally open), shopping, swimming pool, and a marina with slips, fuel and the famous retirement of the colors. (The daily flag ceremony at sunset, not to be missed!) Take your kayaks to enjoy beautiful sunsets from the mouth of the bay. Hike the trail to the top of Mount Young or take your morning run on the back roads with beautiful open fields. Don’t forget to bring your bikes! Gated property for privacy. Approximately a 15-minute drive from the Friday Harbor ferry terminal. This house is located on a quiet lane. We ask that ALL guests be respectful of neighboring residents. This is NOT a house for parties! Tides in Mitchell Bay are very extreme, and the dock is not suitable for boat tie-up. At low tide, there is no water at the dock.
