There is a reading area with a sofa and library as well. Finally, step out of your sliding glass door onto your private balcony overlooking the Salish Sea.

Our stay at this vacation rental was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how spotless the home was and by the incredible attention to detail throughout the space. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and clearly explained, making our stay effortless and stress-free. We’ve never stayed in a vacation rental where instructions were so well laid out and where the home was so well stocked with absolutely everything we needed.The hosts were incredibly welcoming, which made us feel right at home. And the view—simply breathtaking. Watching orcas swim by right outside the living room windows was an unforgettable experience and something we’ll always treasure.This was an outstanding stay in every way, and we would absolutely stay here again without hesitation.

Place was nice for the 3 of us. However, if you have a child that is younger than 5 it may be challenging given the layout. Had everything that we needed and amazing views.

Fabulous! From the location, the decor, the views, this is paradise. Just so we could enjoy the deck with the million dollar view we would pick up takeout so we could enjoy time at the house. Our days were filled with hiking and biking and exploring the islands.

Beautiful property in amazing area!

We loved every minute of our stay in Friday Harbor. The home was beautifully maintained and perfect for our time on SJI. The view is incredible, a perfect way to start and end your day. We saw eagles, owls, deer, river otters and various birds in our short time at the property. The close proximity to Friday Harbor is perfect, close but far enough to feel secluded. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable stay while exploring all that SJI has to offer.
