This is a dream house on San Juan island -- beautiful rooms and layout, the most charming backyard with a children's playhouse and firepit. The kitchen was well stocked and bathrooms had amenities. Lots of games for all in the playroom too. Perfect location for ease to get to downtown harbor area plus some beautiful walks. Also the management was great at being responsive (I blew a fuse with a hair dryer) and took care of it right away. Excellent property.

LOVED this property. Had a great time. Everything was beautiful. Just beware of a very cute little fox trying to steal your boots off the front porch!🦊 🥾

Our multigenerational family group of 7 loved our stay at Turn Point Restreat and we would certainly return there for another stay and visit. Great location with walking distance to the beach, short drive to Friday Harbor downtown and ferry, as well as privacy while at the house. All the comforts of home with quality amenities (bedding, kitchen, laundry, bbq, furniture inside and out). Location enabled us for short trips around the island to explore. Would highly recommend this fantastic retreat to others with high expectations for a vacation rental.
Charming house - spacious, great amenities and fantastic location. Just outside of town to enjoy the peace and quiet of the harbor yet minutes away from the Main Street. Really lovely all around!
Had a great stay while in town for the San Juan half marathon with friends! The place was comfortable and peaceful and very close to town. Would absolutely return!!!
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely house. The location is quiet and serene (including several deer sightings) yet just a quick drive from the charming town of Friday Harbor. The amenities were great and there was plenty of room for us to spread out. We would definitely stay here again.
wanted to spend the weekend with my daughter who lives on the island. Brought my family. The kitchen is perfectly equipped to host. The house is nicely decorated. It feels like a five star hotel.

Thanks so much! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the space and everything it offers. Come back anytime!
Our three generation family loved this home! The playhouse outback was a hit with our grandchildren. The close proximity to Friday Harbor made trips to town easy and we walked to turn Point Country Park and spotted an eagle! A fabulous place to stay!
The home was spacious and comfortable. It was clean and well-maintained. We enjoyed the added convenience of being able to checkin several hours early. Once the house was ready, we received a text letting us know. This was really helpful since family arrived earlier than expected!
Comfortable for our group of seven adults. Beds and bedding were amazing. Back deck space was awesome and the hammock was a nice perk. Easy walk to the beach. Overall great location for island outings and access to Friday Harbor.
Dream home. Ideally location. Good quality. Incredible home.

We are glad you and your family enjoyed this new rental home so much!
We had a wonderful stay. House was great. Beds comfortable. Kitchen and gathering spaces excellent. Sufficient space in bedrooms to add an air mattress for one group — sister and brother who do not share a bed.

We were on the island visiting family and we’re so grateful for this amazing property to come “home” to at the end of the day. There was great outdoor space to play and relax, a full kitchen to use for meals, and a whimsical and peaceful environment.

We absolutely enjoyed our time at the Turn Point Retreat House. It is spacious and well designed. We relaxed on the back porch and the side porch when we were there. We were close to Friday Harbor so we could run into town easily.
