About this property
Unique Waterfront Beach House, 1 mile from Friday Harbor
This two-bedroom cottage is just a mile from the town of Friday Harbor but offers a perfect way to get away from it all with a lush back yard that looks out over the ocean with incredible views of Jackson Beach.
San Juan Island is famous for its beaches, and at low tide you can step off the sea wall on the property and walk across to explore to your heart's content.
When you're done with your day, the sound of gently running water outside will lull you to sleep.
Fiber internet connection allows your whole family to work or remote school.
Constructed in 2018, the house is a cozy 1000 square feet with two bedrooms and a high end custom queen wall bed to the side of the living room. Full kitchen, washer, dryer and Internet access are all provided.
The jewel of the space is the views from the living area and bedrooms across Jackson Beach to the south. They're unobstructed and unforgettable.
You'll be located on one of the only saltwater rivers in the western United States, a fascinating natural oddity where fresh water melds with salt and then flows back with the tides.
The house also contains a display of tools and arrowheads found at the nearby archaeological site dating from 2,500 to 5,000 years old.
Other property owners have access to a nearby common areas but the guest yard and beach access is completely private.
I am happy to be available if you have any needs regarding the space, but otherwise you'll be left to your privacy.
Pets are welcome with the following policy:
1. Pets must be in control on the property and stay within the property lines (yard is not enclosed)
2. Pets must do no damage to the house.
3. Pets are not allowed to sleep on the beds as it is often very difficult to ensure every hair is removed.
4. All dog poop must be picked up from the yard, bags are supplied in the dispenser on the back deck.
There is one security camera on the property that covers the parking area and walkway to the front door.

About the host
Hosted by Nigel Oswald
I've lived in Friday Harbor for 16 years and love being able to share this beautiful property. I live about half a mile away so if there is anything you need, I can be right there.
Why they chose this property
It is not possible to describe how unique and beautiful this place is. The house is new in 2018, its cosy for the number of guests but the combination of south facing, the salt water river, sea wall, abundant life, lagoon, bay and being close to town make this house feel really special!
What makes this property unique
30ft from the water, the seawall, the view, the tranquility...
