Skyline sits in the northern nook of Bowman's Bay on the western side of Fidalgo Island. The handsome homes are a source of great pride for residents. There is a well-equipped marina and related marine businesses present in the community. The marina offers boaters quicker access to the San Juans than other marinas where occupants have to first transit the Guemes Channel. Many waterfront Skyline homes have private boat docks. The 'Cabana', a nifty beach cottage snugged up against a hill is available to residents for private events.

Waters of Burrows Bay form a picturesque cove for Skyline residents. Living here provides some of the Island's most spectacular views. The scenery comes in layers: first the waters of the bay in the foreground backed by Burrows and Allan Islands; behind that, the Puget Sound waters with the San Juans in the distance. Snow-capped Olympics stripe the scene and if the evening sky is afire with a non-stop sunset, it is a hard scene to forget.
