This was the most magical little house to stay in for a family wedding in Friday Harbor. Just minutes from the main town, shopping, restaurants. It was exactly as shown in the pictures. Very nice, very clean, very responsive owner, and a BEAUTIFUL view day and night! And the ferry ride from Anacortes was amazing as well. Would absolutely recommend!

The whole family had a wonderful time at this charming cottage--we loved being close enough to walk to Friday Harbor, the views were absolutely incredible, and being next to the water was so restful. We definitely hope to return to this beautiful part of the world!

This place is such a gem! We enjoyed walking on the beach during low tide and the fully stocked kitchen. Beds and pillows are comfy, and showers have good water pressure. The wildlife is gorgeous! We saw deer, bald eagles and even a seal during high tide.

The house was cosy but very clean and comfortable. Being able to wake up to that view and sound of running water was delightful. We'd love to stay here again!
