Neil Bay Waterfront Retreat is a peaceful sanctuary - perfect for couples' getaways and small family vacations. The retreat features two cozy cabins nestled amidst lush forest greenery and has a private beach, large decks, waterfront views, outdoor grill, wildlife viewing, fully equipped and stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and high-speed internet. The retreat is pet friendly.

Neil Bay Waterfront Retreat is secluded without being isolated: a 20-minute drive gets you to the Friday Harbor ferry terminal, and a 10-minute walk gets you to Roche Harbor Resort’s dining, shops, and sculpture garden.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a beautiful location. We were surprised at the outdated cabin. As we read through the property family history it was obvious that this property was well loved. However, under new ownership maybe it can be updated to reflect the price. We did not have use of the Mini Me cabin but it seemed like a cute place for a larger family.
