Pebble Cove Farm

This place is like summer camp for adults. It’s fantastic.
First of all, what makes this place stand out right away is the responsiveness of the manager on-​site. My husband and I were trying to book a last minute weekend get-​away in January and we were able to not only get a human on the phone when most places are closed or under-​staffed, the managers spoke to us at length about availability and the property.
When we got there, it was amazing. The farm is on the far side of the island with little phone reception. So, good thing thy have free wifi!
The owners know guests are constantly on the move, so there’s no formal check-​in. They just leave your room (or cottage) unlocked with the name of the reservation on it.
They leave you a little guide to the farm, like where the landline is, where you can find their complimentary chicken eggs in the coop. Oh, and they have a big garden. All for guests to pick produce to munch on. The manager also leaves fresh milk and orange juice in the fridge, as well as homemade honey granola, tea, and coffee. (Though the manager did tell is it was like having a continental breakfast, which I thought was a little exaggerated)
When I said this is like a grown up summer camp, I meant it. They have a row boat for guests to explore the bay (free), kayak rentals, boat tours, A FIRE PIT OVERLOOKING THE WATER (complete with wood and matches, etc. laying out for guests) with s’more sticks all ready for guests.
And — they have a little kitchenette (with French press, silverware, some plates, etc) in every room so you can bring whatever food you want and cook. This is awesome in the winter when a lot of the restaurants are closed for the slow season. And it makes it so much easier to vacation on the cheap!
To top it all, the whole place is dog friendly. As long as they’re on a leash, since the farm animals run free.
One thing to note — they have a CRAZY cancellation policy. If you cancel less than 30 days out, you forfeit ALL of your money. 30 days or more, and you still pay a cancellation fee. So tread carefully.

Wonderful little place. Had a great weekend and was very pleased with the customer service.

This place is unique and a beautiful area to stay in for a relaxing vacation. It is pet friendly.
There were some nice touches like a huge selection of organic teas, the best granola ever, creamy milk, and fresh OJ. I would not call this a bed and breakfast as the breakfast was just cereal, milk and OJ.
There was rowboat and these neat hammock like chairs to swing on. It was fun feeding the goat and chickens.
When we were there in early August the garden was rather picked over and the chickens weren’t laying very many eggs.
The kitchenette in the family suite consists of one hot plate, a sink and microwave. It was all compact and in the bedroom. The fridge made buzzing noises all night long. I had to use the provided earplugs to get some sleep. Another nice touch though.
The room was mostly clean except for some cobwebs in one corner and the tub could use more scrubbing. I am a bit of germ phobic about other people’s germs.
We might consider coming back, but don’t plan on doing much cooking except BBQing. Which we did most nights.

I stayed two wonderful nights in a studio in early June and could not have been happier! The setting is as unique as the photos on the PCF website promise. This is a lovely property where seemingly every guest gets a water view. In the mornings I would raise the shades and watch geese and dear roam around the field that runs to the waterfront. As the day wore on, the resident goats, chickens, and pony took their turn in the yard and the tide moved in and out, constantly changing the scene and providing something new to see, hear, and photograph obsessively (a handful of pics capturing my willing subjects are uploaded here).
The hosts are extremely friendly and, in my opinion, quite special in that they leave the degree of guest interaction entirely up to you. You receive directions to your accommodations with your email confirmation and can let yourself in without assistance. However, they are eager to make themselves available any time you have questions, want recommendations, need something, etc. To me, this makes PCF great for everyone from a family looking for guidance on an activity-​filled vacation to a couple seeking privacy during a romantic getaway weekend.
As described in other posts, the attention to detail here is phenomenal. The setting may be rustic, but the rooms are very nicely appointed and extremely clean. My suite had beautiful wood flooring throughout, a tremendously comfortable bed, and any amenity you could possibly need. Hair dryer? Check. Rainy day books and DVDs? Check. Complete set of kitchenware? Check. This last point was a nice selling point for me in particular. As a frequent solo traveler, I don’t care a lot about dining out (it’s a bit awkward on your own and it’s a quick drain on the cash flow!). It was fantastic that the suite came with everything I needed to prepare my own food and the eggs from the hens and fresh veggies from the garden meant I had to buy very few supplemental items to complete my meals (check out the Eastsound Farmer’s Market or ferry landing grocery store).
I could go on and on, but I should leave some things for you to discover during your own stay. Needless to say, highly recommend Pebble Cove Farm!

This place is just as lovely as it sounds. I had a week off in between jobs and was looking for a peaceful solo road trip, and it was perfect. The studio suite is great for solo or a couple — I’m not used to the bed and breakfast type environment where you mingle with the other guests, but it was fine and still felt private most of the time. Definitely want to come back with more people and the dog, it’s a perfect getaway!

Our stay here was picture-​perfect. The view from our window in the cottage was amazing, the pony ate our apple and having milk in the fridge for our morning granola was really thoughtful. Pay attention to the directions in the confirmation email. The approximate mileage was essential for finding it in the dark. Even in a massive cold snap, we were able to enjoy the wood stove. Lydia and John were great hosts.

We stayed on the weekend of thanksgiving and Lydia was very accommodating! We were invited to the downtown thanksgiving pot luck and absolutely encouraged to go by Lydia. After a full morning of travel, we had a fussy two year and just ended up grilling on the porch. We had a studio suite with a gas grill right outside our room and it was very convenient! We didn’t hit the hot tub because of rain and the fire pit wouldn’t light cause it was too damp but that was not the fault of the owners. It was fall going into winter and a front was blowing in fast! We were warm inside and enjoyed the many movies, tv dish, and books. Wifi was great too! We will be back in the spring or summer. I loved the island! Our kids loved their free roaming horse, buddy and the goats and chickens. The playhouse, rowboat, and swing set came in handy too! In addition, she provided fresh granola, coffee, milk and orange juice in the fridge.

We overall had a great time at Pebble Beach Cove and enjoyed the amenities that were available on the property. We enjoyed the hot tub, bonfire, the garden, beachfront, and the use of the rowboats to and around the smaller island. We saw jellyfish, starfish, deer, eagles on the property not to mention the chickens, horse, and goats on the property. They provide a glass jar of milk and orange juice and are able to pick from the vegetables in the garden. The kitchen is not a full kitchen, but provides all the necessities needed to make a decent meal.
The rooms were very nice, however, they use organic cleaning products. These products did not thoroughly clean the suite and would prefer stronger chemicals. The towels were stiff and rough on the body.
We were here for my birthday and had 3 rooms reserved, but unfortunately 1 friend was unable to make it and tried to notify the staff via telephone but did not get ahold of anyone. My other friends were promised a room at 2pm, but was not ready until after 4pm. Needless to say the check-​in wasn’t smooth.
The property is a great place and would come back, just a few hiccups along the way.

We stayed in a family suite with one kid and two dogs. We had an amazing time. We collected eggs, fed goats, played in the water. There is a hot tub, lots of hammocks, a no-​tree treehouse, a swing set, a huge lawn, a fire pit, an organic garden. The owners are friendly and take such great care of the place. It is clean and comfortable. We will go back!!!

My husband, myself and our dawgy, Tana, decided to take a break from the stress of work and life in general. We, both, love the San Juan Islands and thought a weekend in late winter would be peaceful. I wanted a comfortable, quiet place, near the water. A big comforter, organic coffee, a cozy room. AND, somewhere that our well-​behaved pooch could visit. We found a piece of heaven at a place called Pebble Cove Farm. I guess the only reason I didn’t want to share about the coolness of the place (yes, even a Joni Mitchell CD and fresh granola in the morning!) is that I don’t want to share. But, it was a delight. Magic time. thank you Lydia and John!

We had an amazing stay at Pebble Cove Farm B&B on Orcas Island. The room was great with a little kitchenette and super comfy bed. The Farm is right on the water and there is homemade granola, fruits and veggies from the garden and fresh eggs from their chickens. Plus there is a pony, a hamock and a rowboat — who could want more.
