We enjoyed our selves. Parking was great. Loved the view. Wish the bar was not there and there was outside porch, but overall it was great. We’ve been coming to Friday Harbor for over 50 years. Miss not having a boat. This was the next next thing.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, wonderful. Super clean and what a great view and location! On the down side, both toilet fans badly need replacement and we could not figure out how to operate the TV even though we are pretty good at such things. Highly recommended!

Great lodging at an extremely convenient location

One could not possibly be more in the heart of downtown Friday Harbor. Great location, with nice views. Less than a short block away from the main supermarket. Over the years we have stayed in different areas of FH and this is the best. The unit was clean, spacious and with all what we needed. Communication with the host was easy and they were very accommodating. We greatly enjoyed our stay as a result!

Location, cleanliness & ice cream

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: The vacation rental was more than we hoped for! It was much larger than we anticipated, extremely clean, very comfortable and had a great view!! The location was simply wonderful and walking distance to everything in the city... including, but not limited to three ice cream shops with one being immediately next-door, lol. I think we ate our weight and ice cream throughout the weekend, but it was absolutely worth it! Grabbing a cuppa of cone of the Lopez island ice cream, or ice cream from Rosie‘s in the red building by the ferry dock and bringing it back up to the condos deck to watch the ferry passengers and/or the ferry arrive and depart was wonderful. The property management company was excellent with communication and instructions. We had an incredible time celebrating our anniversary!

The room was very spacious, well equipped, and comfortable. It was close to all Friday Harbor activities, shops, and restaurants. For being so close to the ferry landing, it was surprisingly quiet. Host communication was very thorough and timely ... no issues with the booking or check-in process.

Great property in a great location.

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: Easy property so close to the ferry dock that it’s not worth the hassle and expense of driving on island. The unit is really spacious and what you might consider a location that comes with noise was not a problem. Might be the acoustic deadening or efforts that the town has to reduce ambient noise near the ferry, but it’s just not an issue. Lots of eateries, shops and amenities within an easy walk. Can’t fault any aspect of this really nice unit. Enjoy.

Great apartment, a little too close to the action

The accommodations were great and we loved being so central. We didn't give 5 stars since the noise of the ferry traffic meant you couldn't sleep with the windows open (or you had to wake up to close them at 4:30 am),.

Prime location

We had a great stay off season at this primo location just off the ferry terminal. Could hardly be closer - perfect for walkons. Bonus they have protected parking we were able to bring our car to be active about the island. Views are fantastic and they did provide coffee which was key. :) kitchen is well stocked and everything you need. Grocery is within a block walking distance. The view out the window on oneside is ferry terminal and i enjoyed watching them come and go when we were in the room. There is also a rooftop bar in view that was empty since we visited in january. I imagine that could be a turn off for some people who may visit during peak weather. Off the side you have a view of ferry queue. The unit was extremely clean and cozy, my only gripe would be the water didnt get very hot. But the soaking tub was lovely. Overall we had a great time and we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect in-town stay

The property was spacious and comfortable, with lovely harbor views from many angles. It had all the key amenities: laundry, jacuzzi, parking, and a little deck with a grill. Within five minutes walk wehad access to many restaurants, shops, groceries, coffee stands, and so on. This would definitely be our choice for another Friday Harbor stay.
