Great location, but ok accomodations

This space was fine. It is very close to town, so the location is great. It is a quirky set up, but overall the space was fine. The check in is a little confusing, but overall I enjoyed our stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My pooch and I enjoyed our stay in the pet-friendly Fisherman’s suite. It’s close to everything, and the private entry and deck are a bonus. I especially liked the doggie blankets provided for us in the unit. We’d like to come again sometime.

Nice spot, good size, easy check in

Helpful with check in, (use the discount code for the whale watching tour!) let us check in early, nice spot, easy walk to everything, yet a quiet street. And right across the street from a great Rec center/ CrossFit gym!

Perfect spot!

Great little apartment just a short walk from town. Ample parking, quiet neighborhood and very comfortable accommodations for our needs. The pullout sleeper couch was a bit on the short side so probably not great if you’re over 5’5” but otherwise very comfortable.

Marvelous location

The quaint little apartment was just a few minutes walk to the center of the hustle and bustle of Friday Harbor. Absolutely adorable. Only suggestion I would have is more facilities to cook. There was only a microwave. A stove, oven, would make a massive improvement and make the place perfect.

Good location, but disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, but otherwise not great. Tiny bed and bath, my child used the pull out so no other place to sit. One towel per person for 4 days, Worlds tiniest tv placed far away with no instructions. Nice porch, but uncomfortable chairs. It was clean, but not very comfortable or special in any way. Clearly very little effort put into this unit.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After arriving at Friday Harbor by ferry it was a pleasant and easy walk to the Acanthus Suites. Beautiful old house of the craftsman style, historic too. We left our bags there and walked down to the wharf and had dinner. It was delicious and the Washington state wines were excellent, the views, tremendous!When we got back to the VRBO we turned in for the night. Very early, I mean very early the next morning a trash truck drove into our backyard, under our bedroom window and emptied 3, yes 3 dumpsters. It jarred us awake. We stumbled into the kitchen to make coffee and to our surprise and consternation there was no coffee, sugar or nondairy creamer!This is a charming house and neighborhood, but the unit is not ready for prime time yet! Not up to VRBO standards. Don’t stay here if you know what’s good for you. One last comment. The unit is advertised on the VRBO web site as being $62 per night but after all the extra fees was well over $200 per night.We stayed two nights and paid $400 plus! Yes! $400 and no coffee!We stayed and paid but will never do it again. Hiway robbery is more like it. Stay far, far away!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was by far the best place I’ve stayed in. Very nice kitchen to cook those gourmet meals in, was very well supplied. Very comfortable home. The driveway is a little tight and steep but worth the extra effort to turn around. This place is quiet and well cared for.

Worked for us

Needed a place close to the marina at a reasonable price. Yep. Wanted a kitchenette. Check. The bed was not great and the shower needs some maintenance. A new bed and some shower wall repair would make this unit much better. (Shower worked fine, but the wall needs repair.). Unit was clean and everything worked, so it was ok for us.

Do not recommend

Pretty unpleasant experience. Read other reviews carefully before booking, I did not... No where comfy to sit and read (the couch is abysmal), sleeper sofa is unbearable, staring at 3 dumpsters in the driveway every time you look out any window or have coffee on the porch, kitchenette is a glorified closet, other tenants park right under your window with zero regard they are practically in your bedroom (even when asked), had to sit in our foldable camp chairs on the porch and even in the living space as furniture is so uncomfortable, bedding frame and mattress boxes stored on our porch which is very small (really???!) Booked 5 nights, could only bear it for 3. Out $500 Highlight? The woman who cleans the property, she was a delight to chat with:) And the San Juans never disappoint!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was easy to walk from and was clean and large enough for two. The biggest drawbacks for us were the beds. The main bed was way too bouncy for us and the sofa bed was not comfortable. Other than that it was fine. we would suggest you add a simple shelf in the bathroom to provide more space to hold items.

Great Place

I stayed at this property while I spend a few days in Friday Harbor. It was in the back of a house that has a few other rentals on the same property. It was extremely convenient location to downtown Friday Harbor. Easy walk distance to all the shops/restaurants. I had no issues, bed was comfy and had what I needed. Only suggestion would be to add a bathroom curtain :)
