Great location

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: Directions for how to get into the suite was spot on and really easy. We had no problems at all. The suite itself is large and spacious. Parking is only thing that was inconvenient about staying here. I would definitely stay there again.

Anniversary adventurers

My husband wanted an active vacation for our 38th anniversary, and San Juan Island didn’t disappoint. We really didn’t need a car to enjoy kayaking, whale watching, hiking, e-bikes all around the island. It was a spectacular location for all.

Amazing, loved every minute

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: I had a wonderful girls trip with me and my roomate for a few days and got the pleasure of exploring San Juan! This rental was in a wonderful location, and was really nice on the inside! We were blown away when we walked into a quaint and adorable place to stay. At the end of a long day of adventuring we were excited to watch tv, cook in the kitchen, and sleep in the big bed! Our only complaint is the shower was challenging to use and often leaked no matter how precocious we were. Overall loved staying here, thank you for a great time!

No internet, no phone, no dishwasher ... no problem.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The first real page of literature included in the premises binder alludes to a wifi name and password. Later, much deeper in the binder, there is a note that states that no internet service is provided. Time wasted can result.The literature also alludes to a non-existent telephone service - didn't bother us, but that omission reflects the level of management attention paid to the property.There is also a reference in the close-up instructions to loading the dishwasher, but there is no dishwasher.Otherwise, the premises was functional, If not warm and inviting. The central location is good unless you are a light sleeper - late night karaoke and truck traffic when the 5:30 am ferry arrives may be a concern.Relative to other offerings we could find online, the price was reasonable, as the island tends to be quite expensive. Consequently, there is no feeling of being taken advantage of, just the sadness associated with sloppy service delivery.

The location is right in the center of town and that’s the good part and the bad part. When the ferry comes in at 5 AM and 40 big rigs are unloaded you can hear every sound. The unit has everything you need except an air conditioner it is really hot at night. Beware of the shower it’s a hose connected into a Jacuzzi tub, which requires you to step over a 15 inch ledge.The description on the website says there are 10 steps leading up to the unit that is incorrect. There are two sets of 10 steps leading up to the unit.

Great location! Easy access to restaurants, ferry & shopping. Very comfortable. Clean & had everything we needed. Ear plugs were a great suggestion as early morning ferries & traffic are loud. Handheld shower & large tub took some agility. Would definitely stay again.

We went in May so heat was not a concern but i could see it getting hot during the summer without an ac. Wife loved jacuzzi tub. Shower is a little awkward. Trolley was great. We would stay at this place again.

Can’t beat this location!

This location was perfect! Amazing view of the harbor and so many shops/restaurants with in walking distance. The only tips I would give is to bring ear plugs as the ferry traffic and street traffic can get loud at night. Also prepare for parking. Street parking is pretty limited.

Perfect fall getaway for couple

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: We loved this beautiful Suite overlooking the harbor. It was so fun to watch the ferries coming and going. Couldn't beat the convenience to all shopping, restaurants and access to the waterfront. The two person bathtub was a treat after a cold day of cycling the island. A bit loud in the morning with the first ferry arrival, but that is to be expected. We live in the mountains and a harbor view was just what we were looking for! We'll be back!

Great Central Location! Walking distance to Everything!

It was our anniversary trip and Harbor View was a great location for us to walk to everything in Friday Harbor. Time of year was perfect so no AC was needed. It was quite loud every morning with ferry horns and just outside traffic. Construction right outside with big trucks really early in the morning so that was a negative. One thing I would suggest is some nicer bedding, down comforter and better sheets? It was a spacious unit with lots of seating. Overall we had a great experience and would come back!

Best view ever

So I love the location and I really like this condo. There's a few little things that can be fixed like the sink and maybe new furniture. Furniture now is pretty worn out. The hideaway bed is terrible. But overall I stay there every time I go to the island.

Relaxing views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location of the unit, being directly across from the water and marina. It is in the heart of town so shopping and dining was all around us. If we needed to drop off purchases or just needed a break from walking around, we were only a block away.You do get the downtown noise at night and the ferry lights and horns, and it is very hot in the unit, only standup fans no AC units. I recommend going to the market to get food and drinks for the unit.Overall, we loved the experience and would return to Friday Harbor again.

Great time!

It was the perfect place to stay for the 3 of us. It was unfortunately 80+ degrees which made the apartment 100. Recommend bringing an iPad or computer if you want to stream anything at night, as the tvs don’t have streaming capabilities and the town shuts down early but they do provide cable! Great space, bathtub and kitchen. Amazing views!

Great location!

Located in the heart of Friday Harbor. Walking distance to many restaurants and shops. A little loud in the morning when the first ferry comes in but after that not bad at all. Rented a car from M&W (easy walk to pick up and drop off) to explore the island. Enjoyed strolling the marina looking at boats. All whale watch boats take off a block away from the rental. Would stay here again if we make it back.

Great location, some maintenance needed.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is wonderful. The views are great. But there are some small issues: the couches are worn out and have no support; they're very uncomfortable. Also, a number of the handles/locks on the windows simply fell off when we used them. The blade on one of the steak knives broke off when we used it. So, some minor upkeep is needed. But, given the wonderful location and great views, we were able to look past these issues.

Great place depending on the time of year

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 space is very nice and well appointed. It is in a very convenient location. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in visiting Friday Harbor in the off season months after labor day but before memorial day.During busy times in Friday Harbor or when the temperaturre goes up this rental has some issues. 1)It gets very hot in this unit if the outside temp is much above 75 degrees and there are only fans which don't do much to cool it. 2)The noise from the street and the ferry traffic is beyond loud during busy times from the early am to late at night. 3)The restaurant below this unit and the one to the East generate fryer oil smell which comes into the unit. If you aere in off season the ferry traffic is minimal, the temp is moderate and the restaurants aren't very busy.
