About This Home

As of July 2026

Bird Watch Cottage offers a peaceful retreat in the sought-after Roche Harbor community and a successful rental history in the vacation rental program. Perched at the end of a charming path, the home offers a wonderful sense of privacy and a protected peekaboo view that adds to its tranquil setting. Like a luxury treehouse retreat, this home lets you step away from the energy of the resort and relax on the deck while enjoying stunning sunsets through the trees.Inside, the home is warm and inviting, designed for comfortable island living with light-filled spaces and easy flow for relaxing after a day exploring the harbor, trails, and island offerings. Both en suite bedrooms offer king sized beds and well-appointed bathrooms with tubs to soak away any stress that remains. Whether used as a personal retreat, investment property, or a bit of both, the home provides flexibility and charm in an ideal location.The property also offers room to add a garage or storage structure, creating additional flexibility for owners and potential added value. With privacy, rental income potential, and proximity to the many experiences Roche Harbor Resort offers, Bird Watch Cottage is a compelling island investment and getaway in one.
